Title: Injection catheter
Inventor: PONZI DEAN
IPC: A61M37/00
Filed: 2000-11-10
Granted: 2009-04-14
Abstract: An injection catheter is provided. The injection catheter comprises a catheter body comprising a flexible tubing having proximal and distal ends and at least one lumen therethrough. A tip section comprising a flexible tubing having proximal and distal ends is mounted on the distal end of the catheter body. A needle control handle is provided at the proximal end of the catheter body. The needle control handle comprises an outer body having a piston chamber therein, a piston having two ends, wherein one end of the piston is slidably mounted within the piston chamber, and a compression spring in the piston chamber between the outer body and the piston. An injection needle extends through the tip section, catheter body, and needle control handle. The injection needle has a proximal end attached to one of the outer body and the piston and a distal end within the distal end of the tip section. Longitudinal force applied to one of the outer body and the piston causes longitudinal movement of the other of the outer body and the piston, thereby compressing the compression spring, resulting in distal movement of the injection needle relative to the catheter body so that the distal end of the injection needle extends outside the distal end of the tip section.

Title: Fiber optic lasers employing fiber optic amplifiers
Inventor: LAWRENCE BRIAN L
IPC: H01S3/067
Filed: 1999-02-19
Granted: 2003-11-11
Abstract: Ring and linear cavity, fiber optic laser systems are disclosed, employing n on- invasive fiber optic amplification technology. A channel overlay waveguide (60) is employed for amplification of optical energy evanescently coupled to the overlay waveguide (60) from the fiber optic (30). One of two amplificati on methods can be employed. The first involves inducing stimulated emission wit h the overlay waveguide (60) and the second uses a second order, non-linear frequency conversion to down-convert a high-power, short-wavelength pump signal into the waveguide (60) to amplify the optical energy coupled thereto . Amplification of optical energy in the channel overlay waveguide (60) can be established within a single beat length of evanescent removal to evanescent return of the optical energy to the fiber optic (30). Intra-cavity elements can be employed to effect, e.g., wavelength selection, optical isolation, or modulation of the resultant optical signal propagating in the fiber optic (3 0).

Abstract: A plastic bag comprises opposing body panels (12, 14) fixedly connected to each other along a pair of sides and a bottom bridging the pair of sides. A reclosable zipper (32) extending along a mouth portion formed opposite the sealed bottom of the plastic bag. The zipper is preferably free of graspable upper pull flanges in order to best accommodate a slider (32) and inhibit operation of the zipper without the slider (32). The slider (32) is mounted to the zipper for movement between a closed position and an open position. The zipper is closed while the slider is in the closed position. The zipper is opened in response to movement of the slider to the open position. To inhibi t tampering with the contents of the bag, the bag includes a tamper-evident feature (40). In one set of embodiments, the tamper-evident feature (40) initially maintains the slider in the closed position and allows the slider to move away from the closed position toward the open position in response to removing or breaking the tamper-evident feature. In another set of embodiments, the tamper-evident feature initially maintains a mouth portion of the plastic bag in a folded position and allows the mouth portion to be unfolded in response to removing or breaking the tamper-evident feature.</SD OAB>

Abstract: The invention relates to cell level scheduling for handling multicast traffic in routing devices, for example cross-bar switches. The routing device has a plurality of ingress line interface cards (LICs), a plurality of egress LICs, a cross-bar and a controller. Multicast and unicast data traffic passes from the ingress LICs via the cross-bar to the egress LICs. A given multicast data packet is sent from a given ingress LIC to a predetermined set of egress LICs known as the fanout of the given packet. Each ingress LIC has an associated rate of send opportunities. The inventive method allows multicast send opportunities to be spread as evenly as possible over cell periods. The method also invokes a conventional unicast scheduling scheme when no multicast send opportunity is scheduled and a multicast scheduling scheme when one or more multicast send opportunities are present. The schedule is filled out with the fanouts of multicast packets in accordance with the send priority associated with the respective ingress LICs upon which each of the respective multicast packets is queued.

Title: Extending the duration of drug release within the stomach during the fed mode
Inventor: LOUIE-HELM JENNY
IPC: A61K31/401
Filed: 2001-12-12
Granted: 2007-03-20
Abstract: Drugs are formulated as unit oral dosage forms by incorporating them into polymeric matrices comprised of hydrophilic polymers that swell upon imbibition of water to a size that is large enough to promote retention of the dosage form in the stomach during the fed mode. The oral formulation is designed for gastric retention and controlled delivery of an incorporated drug into the gastric cavity, and thus administered, the drug is released from the matrix into the gastric fluid by solution diffusion. The swollen polymeric matrix, having achieved sufficient size, remains in the gastric cavity for several hours if administered while the patient is in the fed mode, and remains intact long enough for substantially all of the drug to be released before substantial dissolution of the matrix occurs. The swelling matrix lowers the accessibility of the gastric fluid to the drug and thereby reduces the drug release rate. This process, together with diffusion retardation by selection of specific polymers, polymer molecular weights, and other variables, results in a sustained and controlled delivery rate of the drug to the gastric cavity.

The transporting unit includes a holding section for holding the inserted disc cartridge and a pair of cam members for moving the holding section in the horizontal direction in the casing and in the vertical direction in the casing in continuation to the movement in the horizontal direction. The driving unit causes the cam members to be moved in the horizontal direction in the casing.      The cam members are moved in a first direction as a result of insertion of the disc cartridge and set the driving unit into operating states as a result of insertion of the disc cartridge.      The cam members cause the holding section to be moved in the horizontal direction by a movement of the cam members in a second horizontal direction consecutive to the movement in the first horizontal direction by the driving unit. The cam members cause the holding section to be loaded on the recording and/or reproducing unit by a movement of the cam members in a third horizontal direction consecutive to the movement in the second horizontal direction by the driving unit.
