Abstract: A suturing device (520) allows a physician to remotely seal an incision (26) in a blood vessel (16) or other biological tissue. The device (520) comprises an elongated tubular body (514, 515) having a distal portion (515, 522) which is adapted to be inserted percutaneously through the incision (26) and into the blood vessel (16). The distal portion (515, 522) has at least first and second retractable arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662) which extend from the distal portion (515, 522) of the body (514, 515) and releasably hold a suture (40) within the blood vessel (16). First and second retractable needles (546, 650), each of which is configured to catch the suture (40) from a respective arm (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662), are provided along the body (514, 515) proximal to the retractable arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662). The arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662) and the needles (546, 650) are remotely movable by the physician using a handle (550, 600, 700) or other control mechanism provided at a distal portion of the device (520). In operation, the arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662) are initially deployed within the blood vessel (16) to hold the ends of the suture (40) beyond the circumference of the tubular body (514, 515). The needles (546, 650) are then deployed from and then retracted into the body (514, 515), during which time the needles (546, 650) pierce the wall (22) of the vessel (16) on substantially opposite sides of the incision (26), release the suture ends from the retractable arms (524, 525, 525', 630, 630', 660, 662), and pull the suture (40) through the vessel wall (22). The device (520) is particularly useful for closing an incision (22) in an artery following a catheterization procedure. In one embodiment, the catheter sheath introducer (6) used to perform the catheterization procedure is left in place during the suturing procedure.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the temperature of a process tool uses the vaporizable characteristic of a refrigerant that is provided in direct heat exchange relation with the process tool. Pressurized refrigerant is provided as both condensed liquid and in gaseous state. The condensed liquid is expanded to a vaporous mix, and the gaseous refrigerant is added to reach a target temperature determined by its pressure. Temperature corrections can thus be made very rapidly by gas pressure adjustments. The process tool and the operating parameters will usually require that the returning refrigerant be conditioned and processed for compatibility with the compressor and other units, so that cycling can be continuous regardless of thermal demands and changes.

Abstract: A highly reliable industrial control system is produced using a network running a standard serial protocol on two redundant messages. A safety protocol is embedded within the standard serial protocol by adding to special error detecting data redundant with the protocol of the standard serial network. In addition, only a single network protocol module (CAN) is necessary to transfer two logical messages of data between modules. In order to still provide redundancy, the data on one of the messages is encoded in a predetermined manner, such as by inverting each bit of data, prior to transmission over the network. The data is then decoded at the destination module and compared to the data on the other logical message to determine whether a transmission error has occured.; Safety protocol may be implemented in an additional level for integrated circuits or through firmware changes in programmable aspects of the industrial controller components.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that wakes up a sleeping target system located on a target LAN (Local Area Network) from a remote system located on a remote LAN. Note that, since the sleeping target system is in a sleep state, it receives packets of a lower-layer protocol which cannot be used by the remote system to directly send packets to the sleeping target system. During operation, the remote system creates a wake-up packet. The remote system then uses a second protocol to send the wake-up packet to a relay agent located on the target LAN. Note that using the upper-layer protocol enables the remote system to communicate with the relay agent even though they are on different LANs. Upon receiving the first wake-up packet, the relay agent uses the lower-layer protocol to send a second wake-up packet to the sleeping target system, which causes the sleeping target system to wake up. Recall that the remote system cannot use the lower-layer protocol to send a wake-up packet directly to the sleeping target system because the remote system and the sleeping target system are on different LANs. The remote system overcomes this limitation by first sending a wake-up packet to the relay agent using the upper-layer protocol, which causes the relay agent to send another wake-up packet to the sleeping target system using the lower-layer protocol. The lower-layer protocol is preferably Ethernet, the upper-layer protocol is preferably IP. The relay agent is preferably a DHCP relay agent, such as an IP router.
