Abstract: Medical instruments are provided having end effectors (22,24) and end effector actuator apparatus which are rotatable relative to the end effectors. The instruments generally include a tube (20) which is typically coupled to the end effectors via a clevis (30) around which the end effectors pivot, a push rod (60) extending through the tube and coupled to the end effectors, an actuator apparatus engaging the tube and the push rod and imparting reciprocal axial motion to the push rod relative to the tube, and the end effectors. The actuator apparatus includes a sleeve (90), spring (103), handle (85), and lever arm (75). The sleeve is movable along the longitudinal axis of the tube against a biasing force of the spring, but is restrained from rotating about the tube. The sleeve has a locking element on its proximal end. The handle surrounds and rotatably engages the proximal end of the tube and has a locking element on its distal end which mates with the locking element of the sleeve and disengages therewith when the sleeve is advanced along the tube. Upon disengagement, the tube, push rod, and end effectors can be rotated. The lever arm pivotally engages the handle and is coupled to the push rod such that pivotal movement of the lever arm relative to the handle effects movement of the push rod relative to the tube and pivotal movement of the end effectors. To decouple rotation of the push rod from the lever arm, a generally spherical push rod engaging element (190) is provided in a generally cylindrical bore (200) of the lever arm. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention describes a method for presenting representations and images; it also describes a geographic map in the traditional form of a book or booklet, wherein map segments of equal degree of latitude form stacks that are offset from one another from front to back of the booklet. The part of each stack that is not overlapped by the neighboring stack outwardly falls away from the back of the booklet, forming a terrace structure. Each terrace is a kind of index tab situated at the top righ-hand and bottom left-hand portions of each double page. Each index tab depicts a reduced view of its corresponding double page. All the index tabs together form the full map on a reduced scale, at the upper edge of the front page of the booklet and/or at the lower edge of the back page of the booklet. When the map is opened up to any double page by pressing the corresponding index tab, the map segment appears in original size, with the reduced-scale northeastern part of the full map appearing on the top right-hand appendage and the reduced-scale southwestern on the bottom left-hand.

Abstract: This invention is a medical device. It is a multipolar catheter assembly optionally in combination with a guidewire. Each of the catheter and the guidewire may be sheathed and have multiple electrodes at their distal ends. Because of their size and flexibility, the catheter and the guidewire may be used at virtually any point within the vasculature particularly, however, within the cardiac arteries or veins, perhaps in conjunction with external electrocardiogram leads, to map the body's electrical activity. When used in the heart, they may be used to determine the source of a cardiac arrythmia. The intimate presence of the guidewire or catheter body in the cardiac vasculature allows the response time to changes in cardiac electrical activity is very quick. The invention is also a method for mapping the electrical activity of the heart by use of one or more of these inventive guidewires or catheters in the cardiac arteries or veins. They may also be used to determine the local electrical activity of any site within the body, such as in the brain.
