Publication number: 20210212745Abstract: Ablation systems and methods include an improved approach to generating heated vapor. The vapor ablation system preferably has a controller having a user interface that receives data indicative of a time of a treatment session, a pump in data communication with the controller, and a catheter having an electrode and is in fluid communication with the pump. The controller is configured to control the pump to provide a fluid to the lumen of the catheter, cause an electrical current to be delivered to the electrode in order to heat the fluid in the lumen and convert the fluid to a heated vapor, control a delivery of the fluid and a generation of the heated vapor based on the data indicative of the time and without modifying the flow rate of the fluid or the level of voltage and/or current of the electrical current based on data from sensors positioned in or on the catheter.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2021Publication date: July 15, 2021Inventors: Jerome Jackson, Roger A. Stern, Virender K. Sharma, Lloyd Mencinger, Scott McGill, Benjamin Wang

Publication number: 20170258514Abstract: Methods and devices for improved precision in finding one or more nerves and then interrupting the transmission of neural signals through the target nerve. The treated nerve can be rendered incapable of transmitting neural signals for a select duration of time, where such a duration can be on a temporarily basis (e.g., hours, days or weeks) or a longer term/permanent basis e.g., months or years). One embodiment of the apparatus includes a precise energy source system which features energy transfer elements that are capable of creating areas of nerve destruction, inhibition and ablation with precision.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2017Publication date: September 14, 2017Inventors: Bankim H.

Publication number: 20170233104Abstract: Systems and methods for diagnosing aircraft failure are provided. In one embodiment, a method can include receiving a first set of data from an aircraft in flight indicative of a failure event associated with the aircraft. The first set of data can be indicative of at least one or more conditions associated with the aircraft. The method can include performing one or more computer-based simulations to generate one or more simulated failure events, based at least in part on the conditions. The method can include identifying one or more simulated causes associated with the simulated failure events. The method can include determining one or more potential causes of at least a portion of the failure event, based at least in part on the simulated causes. The method can include communicating a second set of data indicative of at least the potential causes, to the aircraft while it is in flight.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2016Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Randy E.

Patent number: 9636115Abstract: A device for delivering an occlusive element includes an elongate sheath having a lumen therein. An elongate core member is disposed within the lumen and is formed from a proximal portion and distal portion connected via a joint. The distal portion of the elongate member includes a severable junction secured to the occlusive element. A marker coil is coaxially arranged around the distal portion of the elongate core member and is partially disposed inside the sheath lumen. A coil member is coaxially arranged around the distal portion of the elongate core member and coaxially arranged around at least a portion of the marker coil extending outside the lumen of the sheath. The coil member is secured at a distal end thereof to the distal portion of the elongate core member. The device resists axial compression while allowing for radial bending.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2006Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignees: Stryker Corporation, Stryker European Holdings I, LLCInventors: William S.

Patent number: 9463112Abstract: A carrier is sized and configured for placement in or on a tissue region. The carrier includes at least one interior compartment. At least one ferromagnetic material is carried within the compartment. The compartment and the ferromagnetic material are mutually sized and configured to allow movement of the ferromagnetic material within the compartment in response to magnetic interaction with a magnetic material located outside the carrier. The magnetic interaction can include either a magnetic attracting force or a magnetic repelling force. The carrier can be used in association with a source of magnetism sized and configured for placement in or on a tissue region outside the carrier for magnetic interaction with the ferromagnetic material carried within the compartment, e.g., to stabilize the orientation of a tissue region within an airway.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2006Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Andres D.
