Abstract: This is a balloon catheter having braided layer which extends generally from the proximal end of the catheter to a location distal of the balloon. In particular, it is desirable that the shaft of the catheter proximal of the balloon be stiffest at the proximal section and least stiff just proximal of the balloon. Although the catheter may be a single lumen catheter using some type of a core wire to act as a valve for inflation and deflation of the balloon, it is within the scope of the invention to include either a separate inflation/deflation lumen or one incorporated into the various concentric polymeric layers used to make up the proximal shaft. Particularly preferred is the use of an elastic, compliant balloon. <IMAGE>

Title: Anti-theft product rack and method
Inventor: BULLIANT KENNETH W
IPC: G07G3/00
Filed: 1987-06-12
Granted: 1990-04-26
Abstract: The anti-theft product rack (10) continuously monitors the weight of the rack including individual product units (12). When a weight deviation is detected (16), it is characterized as either a disturbance or as the removal of one or more product units. An alarm (41) is sounded if the rack is continuously disturbed for a programmable number of continuous weight sensing cycles, or if a programmable number of disturbances occur during a programmable period of time. In addition, an alarm is sounded if the number of product units detected as being removed at one time exceeds a programmable limit. Finally, if the number of detected product units removed exceeds a programmable number during a programmable period of time, an alarm is sounded. The product display rack presents no physical barriers to product removal and requires no intervention of sales personnel for product removal. Thus, the present invention presents an aesthetically pleasing product rack while providing a high degree of protection against shoplifting or employee theft.

Abstract: A method of performing angular distraction osteogenesis by drilling bone-pin holes into the first and second sides of a segmented bone, inserting bone-pins into the bone-pin holes, attaching the bone-pins in each side of the segmented bone to a distraction device and adjusting the distraction devise so that the bone portion of the first side of the segmented bone angularly adjusts, rotates or pivots its position relative to the bone portion on the second side of the segmented bone in precise, gradual and predetermined incremental amounts over a period of time so that the bone tissue remains healthy and the blood vessels and nerve endings remain intact during the bending distraction process. A device for achieving angular distraction osteogenesis is provided having a support member extending across a segmented piece of bone, means for securing the first side of the segmented bone to the support member and the second side of the segmented bone to the support member, and means for angularly adjusting the first section of segmented bone relative to the second section of segmented bone. The angular adjustment means includes a gear and a cooperating adjustment screw which rotates the gear when the screw is adjusted in order to easily angularly adjust or rotate the support member or the means for securing the segmented bone pieces to the support member in precise, small incremental predetermined amounts over a period of time. The means for securing the segmented bone pieces to the support member include bone-pin clamps which can be adjusted linearly or translated in precise, gradual and incremental distances along the length of the support member. In one embodiment, the device has two arms, a central joint for angularly adjusting the two arms and two bone-pin clamps for attaching at least one bone-pin on each side of the segmented bone to a respective arm. The arms are attached to the central joint and angularly adjust or rotate in planes that are oriented different from one another and perhaps perpendicularly and the bone-pin clamps linearly translate along each arm.
