Abstract: A system includes an inner filling structure around a stent-structure and an outer filling structure around the inner filling structure. The inner filling structure can be configured to produce a proximal seal with a first portion of an artery at a proximal end and a distal seal with a second portion of an artery at a distal end when the inner filling structure is in an inflacted state. The outer filling structure can have an inner surface surrounding at least a portion of the inner filling structure. The outer filling structure can be configured to be inflatable to occupy a space within an aneurysm at a lower pressure than a pressure in the inner filling structure.

Abstract: A motion artifact reduction apparatus and method of using a motion artifact reduction apparatus are provided. A general aspect of a motion artifact reduction apparatus includes at least one of a plurality of sensors and at least one sleeve body with a first end and a second end. The motion artifact reduction apparatus further includes a means for removably attaching the first end and the second end to each other and at least one sensor port disposed within the at least one sleeve body. The motion artifact reduction apparatus further includes an adhesive layer disposed around the sensor port, wherein the motion artifact of the at least one of a plurality of sensors may be reduced by attaching the first end and the second end of the sleeve body to each other and by the contact of the adhesive layer to the user's body at a desirable location.

Abstract: A system includes a graft body and a filling structure. The graft body has a fenestration in a side surface through which a support structure is insertable. The filling structure has an internal volume that is tillable with a filling medium and is configured to have a conduit through the internal volume through which the support structure is insertable. The conduit in the filling structure is alignable with the fenestration in the graft body such that the support structure is insertable through both the conduit in the filling structure and the fenestration in the graft body.

Abstract: A surface-mounted pavement marker is provided for secure attachment to a pavement surface by adhesive. The bottom surface of the pavement marker is divided into sectors, and a parallel array of grooves is formed in each sector. The grooves in each array are angularly aligned to the grooves in adjacent arrays. Additionally, each groove extends continuously from its inner end to the outer periphery of the pavement marker.

Abstract: A pavement marker has a base having at least one opening formed therein. A groove is formed in the base substantially adjacent the opening. The pavement marker further includes a cover for covering the opening in the base. The cover is formed with at least one energy directing rib configured for nesting with the groove in the base. The cover is ultrasonically welded to the base so that the energy directing rib melts and integrally fuses to portions of the base adjacent the groove.
