Title: Linear ablation assembly
Inventor: SCHAER ALAN K
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1999-10-25
Abstract: The invention is an intravascular device for the formation of linear lesions which has particular utility in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, and flutter. The intravascular device has an outer delivery member (11) with a distal section which has an elongated opening (28), and a support element (26) co-extending with the opening. An EP device (12) having a plurality of electrodes (32) on its distal section is slide disposed within the inner lumen of the delivery member but it is secured by its distal end within the distal extremity of the delivery member at least while in operation. In this manner an axial force in the proximal direction on the proximal extremity of the EP  device, which extends out of the patient during the procedure, will cause the distal shaft section of the delivery shaft along an inner side of the curved distal section, and engage the surface of the patient's heart chamber. RF  electrical energy delivered to the electrodes on the distal shaft section of the EP device will form a linear lesion which terminates the fibrillation or flutter.

Title: Measurement module and system for monitoring the status of armored vehicle electronic components
Inventor: SWARTZ GARY STEVEN
IPC: G01R31/00
Filed: 1999-12-14
Abstract: A testing apparatus and method consisting of multiple measurement modules (1 0) having one or more circuit assembly boards (17, 18), two data/power connecto rs (14), and a target connector (16). The circuit assembly boards include electronics (19) for accessing and storing selected signal data emanating fr om a connected target system (56). Signal data is accessed from 1-128 target signal sources and sampled through two separate analog to digital channels (43). An on-board microcontroller (31) controls signal selection and data sampling rates and also provides for transfer of recorded data over a USB bu s to a host computing device (59, 61). Using a proper testing application load ed onto the host computing device, each module (10) can be commanded to access and store representative data from a number of signal sources at each target  system (56). Each module is connected to other modules and a host computing device to create a complete self-powered test access environment (58). With a proper testing application loaded on the host computing device, testing data  may be acquired and analyzed for any selected target component system. The interconnectivity of the system as well as the data acquisition capability f or each measurement module make diagnosing electronic component failures in an armoredvehicle, such as a tank, much easier than prior manual fault isolatio n procedures.
