Title: An embolic protection device
Inventor: GILSON PAUL
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1998-11-09
Abstract: An embolic protection device has a collapsible filter element (105) mounted on a carrier such as a guidewire (101). The filter element (105) collapses into the outer end of a catheter (118) for deployment and retrieval through a vascular system of a patient. The filter element (105) has a collapsible filter body with a proximal inlet end and a distal outlet end. The proximal inlet end has inlet openings sized to allow blood and embolic material enter the filter body. The outlet end has outlet openings which allow through passage of blood but retain embolic material within the filter body. After use, the catheter (118) is movable along the guidewire (101) to engage the proximal end of the filter element and close the inlet openings before sliding over the filter element from the proximal end to the distal end to progressively collapse the filter body on the guidewire (101) for retrieval. The filter element (105) may conveniently be mounted on a tubular sleeve (104) which is slidable and rotatable on the guidewire (101) between spaced-apart stops (106, 120) on the guidewire (101) which allows some manipulation of the guidewire independently of the filter when the filter is in use.

Title: Resiliant electrical connector
Inventor: SCOTT JASON
IPC: H01R13/24
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: A multiple-section component has a connection block (50) between sections which has first and second faces (52,54) separated by a resilient material (56). A terminal (58) is provided in each of the first and second faces, and they are electrically connected together through the resilient material. In an assembled state of the multiple-section component, the connection block (50) is sandwiched between ends of the sections with electrical contacts (42) of the ends contacting a respective terminal (58). The connection block thus provides electrical connection between the contacts (42). The resilient nature of the connection block enables the contacts of the end portions to be flat, because the block enables contact to be maintained even if there is movement of the joint and even when there are slight differences in the separation between the end portions for different joints. This avoids the need for intricate connector designs, which are prone to damage.
