  • Publication number: 20230226328
    Abstract: Medical delivery devices, such as catheters, and their methods of use and manufacture. The medical delivery devices are adapted to facilitate the delivery of an agent into a patient. The medical delivery devices may have one or more deformable lumens, each of which has a collapsed configuration and an open configuration. The medical delivery devices may include one or more agent delivery ports, any one of which may be proximal or distal to an expandable device, such as a balloon.

  • Patent number: 8640070
    Abstract: A plurality of target field programmable gate arrays are interconnected in accordance with a connection topology and map portions of a target system. A control module is coupled to the plurality of target field programmable gate arrays. A balanced clock distribution network is configured to distribute a reference clock signal, and a balanced reset distribution network is coupled to the control module and configured to distribute a reset signal to the plurality of target field programmable gate arrays. The control module and the balanced reset distribution network are cooperatively configured to initiate and control a simulation of the target system with the plurality of target field programmable gate arrays. A plurality of local clock control state machines reside in the target field programmable gate arrays. The local clock control state machines are coupled to the balanced clock distribution network and obtain the reference clock signal therefrom.

  • Patent number: 6654383
    Abstract: A data framer capable of supporting at least two different data framing protocols potentially present in a source data stream includes two or more framing circuits and a controller coupled to the framing circuits. Each of the framing circuits is configured to extract user data from the source data stream in accordance with a different data framing protocol associated with the respective framing circuit. The controller is operative to: (i) receive the source data stream and automatically determine which of the at least two different data framing protocols corresponds to the source data stream; and (ii) route the source data stream to one of the first framing circuit and the second framing circuit in response to a match between the determined data framing protocol of the source data stream and one of the first and second data framing protocols.
