Patent number: 9561121Abstract: An intravascular device (100) includes an elongated shaft (3) extending in an axial direction and an expandable braided arrangement (110) of a plurality of filaments. The braided arrangement has a proximal end, a distal end (1), and an intermediate region therebetween. The intravascular device can include an endpiece (112-1) located proximate an intersection of the elongated shaft and the braided arrangement. The endpiece can be configured to orient the filaments in a substantially single file continuum. At a junction with the endpiece, the filaments can initially extend in a substantially parallel, non-crossing manner, and as the filaments extend toward the intermediate region, the initially extending non-crossing filaments can cross each other.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2013Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: RAPID MEDICAL LTD.Inventors: Yuri Sudin, Danel Mayer, Ronen Eckhouse

Publication number: 20090302923Abstract: A system and method for compensation of offset voltage in a digital differential input buffer driven by a terminated transmission line. Offset compensation currents are injected at the output of the first stage of the input buffer, which has a higher impedance than the terminated transmission line at the input of the buffer. The compensation current is determined by a network of MOS transistors, which saves die space compared to resistors. A pair of voltage multiplexers provides for compensation currents to correct offsets of either polarity. Offset correction currents are determined anew each time the system is powered up, compensating for component aging. The offset correction can also be performed while the input buffer is operating, during periods when the input is quiescent, and/or by adjusting the offset correction according to the duty cycle of the detected input.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2009Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicant: Mellanox Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Yossi Smeloy, Ronen Eckhouse

Patent number: 7518164Abstract: A system for protecting a high-speed input/output pad of an integrated circuit. The system includes a preferably parasitic silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) and a triggering mechanism that preferably includes an NMOS triggering FET. The SCR includes an anode connected to the input/output pad and a trigger input. The anode and the trigger input form a reverse-biased junction that, during normal operation of the integrated circuit, isolates the triggering mechanism from the input/output pad when power is applied to the integrated circuit.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2007Date of Patent: April 14, 2009Assignee: Mellanox Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Yossi Smelloy, Ronen Eckhouse, Eyal Frost
