Abstract: Guidewire system includes a guidewire jacket, at least two guidewires, and a handle. The guidewires are initially constraint within the guidewire jacket and may be introduced into a diagnostic or other catheter to deliver the guidewires to a target region in a patient's vasculature. The handle detachably retains the guidewires so that they may be advanced simultaneously with the guidewire jacket. The guidewires may be then detached and manipulated individually to locate them properly within the region. After removing the guidewire jacket and the diagnostic catheter, the two or more guidewires provide a trackable yet flexible path for the introduction of interventional catheter or sheath.

Abstract: Analyzing employees based on results of an education business simulation. A network is utilized to present a training simulation to a user for achieving a training goal. Information is integrated into the training simulated utilizing the network that helps motivate achievement of the goal by the user. Progress of the user towards achieving the goal is measured utilizing the network. For further motivating achievement of the goal, feedback is also provided to the user utilizing the network. There are three levels of feedback, where each is progressively more detailed and is selected based on the number of mistakes made by the user, the user's progress towards the goal is subsequently reported to the employer of the user utilizing the network.
