Abstract: A torque converter comprises a stationary mount, input and output shafts, a primary frame (301) supported by the stationary mount for rotation about a primary axis and coupled for rotation with one of the input and output shafts (302,303), a secondary frame (50) supported by the primary frame (301) for rotation about a secondary axis perpendicular to the primary axis and coupled for rotation with the other of the input and output shafts, a plurality of flywheels (10) supported by the secondary frame (50) with their spin axes disposed at an angle to one another in the same plane, or in mutually parallel planes, and torsional springs acting between the flywheels and the secondary frame to cause the flywheels to oscillate in use, so as to effect a gyroscopic torque coupling between the primary and secondary frames. An excitation system (110) is mounted on the primary frame (301) for applying to each flywheel (50) a periodic torque that varies with the angular velocity of the secondary frame and the angular position of the axis of the flywheel relative to the secondary axis, so as to cause each flywheel to oscillate at its natural frequency in response to relative rotation between the primary and secondary frames.

Abstract: Embolectomy catheters, rapid exchange microcatheters, systems and methods for removing obstructive matter (e.g., thrombus, thromboemboli, embolic fragments of atherschlerotic plaque, foreign objects, etc.) from blood vessels. This invention is particularly useable for percutaneous removal of thromboemboli or other obstructive matter from small blood vessels of the brain, during an evolving stroke or period of cerebral ischemia. In some embodiments, the embolectomy catheters of this invention are advanceable over a guidewire which has been pre-inserted through or around the obstructive matter. Also, in some embodiments, the embolectomy catheters include obstructive matter capturing receptacles which are deployable from the catheter after the catheter has been advanced at least partially through the obstructive matter. Such obstructive matter capturing receptacles may include i) at least one proximal strut which are designed to be retractable through a blood clot and ii) a distal matter-receiving portion which is designed to prevent a blood clot from passing therethrough. 
In particular, the embolectomy catheter may be a rapid exchange embodiment.
