Title: Rotational atherectomy device with counterweighting
Inventor: MCBROOM JEFFREY A
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2008-09-19
Granted: 2014-05-15
Abstract: The invention provides a rotational atherectomy device having a flexible, elongated, rotatable drive shaft with an abrasive section comprising an enlarged diameter section of the drive shaft or, alternatively, a solid abrasive crown which may be attached to the drive shaft. The device further comprises a proximal and/or a distal counterweight attached to the drive shaft, spaced from the abrasive section wherein each counterweight has its center of mass offset from the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft to stimulate orbital motion by the abrasive section. When placed within an artery against stenotic tissue and rotated at sufficiently high speeds (e.g., in the range of about 20,000 rpm to about 200,000 rpm) the orbiting nature of the abrasive section causes such section to rotate as to open the stenotic lesion to a diameter substantially larger than the resting outer diameter of the abrasive section.

Title: Aluminum riser assembly
Inventor: INDRUPSKIY DAVID J
IPC: E21B17/08
Filed: 2009-05-04
Granted: 2012-02-23
Abstract: An aluminum riser assembly (40) has a plurality of riser joints (42) connectable together to form a riser string. When upper and lower joints are assembled, clamps (145) support auxiliary pipes for carrying hydraulic lines. A drive (220) rotates a sleeve rotatably (170) supported on the upper joint, and the sleeve rotates a union nut (160) rotatably disposed on the upper joint. As the union nut rotates, it moves axially along the riser joint and threads onto the lower joint. The union nut is tightened until it engages an external collar (136) to complete the coupling between the upper and lower riser joints. The entire process can then be repeated for additional upper riser joints to make up a riser string.

Title: Method and apparatus for reconstructing in-cylinder pressure and correcting for signal decay
Inventor: HUANG JIAN
IPC: F02P5/15
Filed: 2010-07-27
Granted: 2014-07-10
Abstract: The disclosed method comprises steps for reconstructing in-cylinder pressure data from a vibration signal collected from a vibration sensor mounted on an engine component where it can generate a signal with a high signal-to-noise ratio, and correcting the vibration signal for errors introduced by vibration signal charge decay and sensor sensitivity. The correction factors are determined as a function of estimated motoring pressure and the measured vibration signal itself with each of these being associated with the same engine cycle. Accordingly, the method corrects for charge decay and changes in sensor sensitivity responsive to different engine conditions to allow greater accuracy in the reconstructed in-cylinder pressure data. An apparatus is also disclosed for practicing the disclosed method, comprising a vibration sensor, a data acquisition unit for receiving the vibration signal, a computer processing unit for processing the acquired signal and a controller for controlling the engine operation based on the reconstructed in-cylinder pressure.
