  • System For Fixation of Leaflets Of A Heart Valve
    Publication number: 20240366223
    Abstract: The invention provides devices, systems and methods for tissue approximation and repair at treatment sites. The devices, systems and methods of the invention will find use in a variety of therapeutic procedures, including endovascular, minimally-invasive, and open surgical procedures, and can be used in various anatomical regions, including the abdomen, thorax, cardiovascular system, heart, intestinal tract, stomach, urinary tract, bladder, lung, and other organs, vessels, and tissues. The invention is particularly useful in those procedures requiring minimally-invasive or endovascular access to remote tissue locations, where the instruments utilized must negotiate long, narrow, and tortuous pathways to the treatment site. In addition, many of the devices and systems of the invention are adapted to be reversible and removable from the patient at any point without interference with or trauma to internal tissues.

  • Systems and methods for controlling arc initiation and termination in a welding process
    Patent number: 12128508
    Abstract: Systems and methods for initiating and/or terminating a GMAW-P welding process are disclosed. A welding-type power supply may include a power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to welding-type power, and a controller configured to control the power conversion circuitry based on a plurality of operating parameters. In examples, the systems and methods disclosed herein implement pulsed cycles with one or more increased output parameters (such as current, pulse width, etc.) in order to jump start a pulsed welding cycle at a cold start (i.e. at initiation of a welding process), and thereby prevent a ball forming and remaining on the end of an electrode wire as the welding process continues. In a similar manner, a pulsed cycle with one or more increased parameters can be used to terminate the welding process, also preventing the ball forming and remaining on the electrode wire.

  • LARGE DIAMETER SILICON CARBIDE WAFERS
    Publication number: 20240352622
    Abstract: Silicon carbide (SiC) wafers and related methods are disclosed that include large diameter SiC wafers with wafer shape characteristics suitable for semiconductor manufacturing. Large diameter SiC wafers are disclosed that have reduced deformation related to stress and strain effects associated with forming such SiC wafers. As described herein, wafer shape and flatness characteristics may be improved by reducing crystallographic stress profiles during growth of SiC crystal boules or ingots. Wafer shape and flatness characteristics may also be improved after individual SiC wafers have been separated from corresponding SiC crystal boules. In this regard, SiC wafers and related methods are disclosed that include large diameter SiC wafers with suitable crystal quality and wafer shape characteristics including low values for wafer bow, warp, and thickness variation.

  • Large dimension silicon carbide single crystalline materials with reduced crystallographic stress
    Patent number: 12125701
    Abstract: Silicon carbide (SiC) materials including SiC wafers and SiC boules and related methods are disclosed that provide large dimension SiC wafers with reduced crystallographic stress. Growth conditions for SiC materials include maintaining a generally convex growth surface of SiC crystals, adjusting differences in front-side to back-side thermal profiles of growing SiC crystals, supplying sufficient source flux to allow commercially viable growth rates for SiC crystals, and reducing the inclusion of contaminants or non-SiC particles in SiC source materials and corresponding SiC crystals. By forming larger dimension SiC crystals that exhibit lower crystallographic stress, overall dislocation densities that are associated with missing or additional planes of atoms may be reduced, thereby improving crystal quality and usable SiC crystal growth heights.

  • Systems and methods for voltage control of a short circuit during a pulse welding process
    Patent number: 12115604
    Abstract: Systems and methods for clearing a short during a GMAW-P welding process are disclosed. A welding-type power supply may include a power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to welding-type power, and a controller configured to control the power conversion circuitry based on a plurality of operating parameters. In examples, if the controller senses an occurrence of a short circuit during the welding cycle (e.g., during the background state), the voltage-controlled process can adjust an output current to increase in order to achieve one or more short state target voltage values. Once the short has cleared (as evidenced by a spike in voltage) and/or a desired short state target voltage value is achieved, the controller can again adjust the output current to decrease until the voltage has returned to a background voltage level.
