Patent number: 7831876Abstract: A test system tests a circuit. Compressed scan data subsets are stored, one at a time, in a memory of the test system. The multiple compressed scan data subsets correspond with multiple scan chains in a function block of the tested circuit. Transmission of the compressed scan data subset from the memory to the tested circuit is controlled by the test system. The test system receives a compacted test output subset from the tested circuit and provides a test system output that indicates a presence of any errors in functioning of the tested circuit.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2007Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: LSI CorporationInventors: Saket K.

Patent number: 7758636Abstract: An expandable medical device includes a plurality of elongated struts, forming a substantially cylindrical device which is expandable from a cylinder having a first diameter to a cylinder having a second diameter. A plurality of different beneficial agents can be loaded into different openings within the struts for delivery to the tissue. For treatment of conditions such as restenosis, different beneficial agents are loaded into different openings in the device to address different biological processes involved in restenosis and are delivered at different release kinetics matched to the biological process treated. The different beneficial agents may also be used to address different diseases, such as restenosis and acute myocardial infarction from the same drug delivery device.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2005Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Innovational Holdings LLCInventors: John F.

Patent number: 7640461Abstract: A clock pulse controller includes a test clock pulse input for receiving test clock pulses. A scan enable input receives a scan enable signal having a first state and a second state. A trigger pulse input receives a trigger pulse. A clock pulse output generates a launch clock pulse and a capture clock pulse from the test clock pulses immediately after receiving a predetermined number of the test clock pulses immediately following the trigger pulse. A delayed scan enable output generates a delayed scan enable signal that transitions from the first state to the second state between a leading edge of the launch clock pulse and a leading edge of the capture clock pulse.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2007Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: LSI Logic CorporationInventors: Thai-Minh Nguyen, William Shen, David Vinke, Christopher Coleman

Publication number: 20090252778Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for the delivery of therapeutic agents which reduce myocardial tissue damage due to ischemia and anti-restenotic agents which inhibit restenosis following a cardiac procedure such as stent implantation. The anti-ischemia agents are delivered to the myocardial tissue over an administration period sufficient to achieve reduction in ischemic or reperfusion injury of the myocardial tissue. The anti-restenotic agents are delivered over an administration period sufficient to reduce the re-narrowing of a blood vessel following a cardiac procedure such as implantation of a device. Preferred anti-restenotic drugs are those that do not reduce the beneficial effects provided by the anti-ischemic drug, such as drugs that do not act on the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2007Publication date: October 8, 2009Applicant: INNOVATIONAL HOLDINGS LLC.Inventors: Theodore L.

Publication number: 20070172509Abstract: An implantable drug delivery system uses a hydrophobic compound as an outer layer or barrier for retarding release of water soluble drugs from the implantable system. The system includes an inner portion of a water soluble drug in a drug matrix material which stabilizes the drug. An outer portion of the drug delivery system separates the inner portion from a surrounding environment. The outer portion retards the release of the water soluble drug from the inner portion. The outer portion includes a hydrophobic non-polymer compound and a binder. The hydrophobic compound can be another drug which can be delivered at an entirely different release kinetic from the water soluble drug and for treatment of the same or a different condition. When the drug delivery system is implanted in a body the outer portion retards the release of the water soluble drug by controlling fluid passing from the body into the inner portion and by controlling passage of the water soluble drug from the inner portion into the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2007Publication date: July 26, 2007Applicant: Conor Medsystems, Inc.Inventors: Thai Minh Nguyen, Theodore L.
