Abstract: Apparatus for enhancing pushability and
minimizing kinking of a balloon catheter is provided,
wherein a catheter comprises inner and outer tubes, and
a balloon that is proximally affixed to the outer tube
and distally affixed to the inner tube. The outer tube
extends distal to the proximal affixation point and at
least partially into the balloon segment to provide
additional stiffness and pushability. The outer tube
may taper and connect to the inner tube or to
radiopaque markers disposed thereon. The outer tube
further may be selectively reinforced, as by using
multipart construction or using different tube
textures, to selectively provide added stiffness in
areas susceptible to kinking.

Abstract: A plurality of cylindrical inner conductor portions
(101-111) having different diameters are connected with each
other to form an inner conductor. The inner conductor
portions (101-111) include high-impedance portions
(101,103,105,107,109,111) and low-impedance portions
(102,104,106,108,110). The inner conductor (101-111) is
formed within an outer conductor (2) with nonuniform inner
diameter. The inner conductor is formed so that the axial
length of some of the inner conductor portions forming the
high-impedance portions (201,203,205,207,209,2011) is smaller
than the axial length of the other inner conductor portions
forming the high-impedance portions, and the diameter of the
inner conductor portions forming the high-impedance portions
(201,203,205,207,209,211) is greater than a predetermined
minimum diameter.

Abstract: There is disclosed a reference current circuit
capable of preventing appearance of the effect of
Early voltage, operated from a low power supply voltage,
and adapted to output a current having a positive or
optional temperature characteristic. In this reference
current circuit, by a self-biased method, a current of a
current mirror circuit is set to be proportional or
substantially inversely proportional to temperature by
first and second transistors constituting a non-linear
current mirror circuit. A third transistor is provided. A
current of the third transistor proportional to a third
voltage between a control terminal and a current input
terminal is set to be substantially inversely proportional
to the temperature, and the currents of the current mirror
circuit and the third transistor are weighted and added.
Thus, an output current having a fixed temperature current
is obtained.

Abstract: The coupling has elastomeric elements (4), each having two regions with different properties. The first region extends radially and held in pockets (3), and is more inherently stable than second region to transmit peripheral force. The second region faces projections (5) of a coupling section (2) and yields more than first region to introduce deformations into second region with effect of slight restoring force.  The coupling has two coupling sections (1,2) having multiple spaced-apart pockets arranged along an arc and projections, respectively. The elastomeric elements are held in the pockets, with the projections extending into coupling section (1) between two adjacent elastomeric elements.

Abstract: Force in a direction opposite to an operating direction
imparted from a motor to a rotary knob is increased gradually at
the start of an operation to an upper limit value with the increase
of a rotating angle of the rotary knob in the same direction as
the operating direction, and is gradually decreased at the finish
of the operation from the upper limit value to 0 with the increase
of the rotating angle in the opposite direction to the operating
direction. In consequence, when the operation is stopped before
or at the time at which force in the opposite direction to the
operating direction imparted to the rotary knob reaches the upper
value, the rotary knob returns to the angle at which it has existed
before operated, and can come to halt without oscillation.
