IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: An intra-coronary stent provides intraluminal-scaffolding support of a vascular wall after percutaneous angioplasty in which a balloon catheter is used to expand a stenotic vascular lesion. The flexible stent substantially fully covers a vessel surface inside a vascular lumen. The improved stent easily delivers a delivery balloon to a selected vascular lumen site. The flexible stent has a smooth surface and sufficient radiopacity in the delivery and post delivery phase.

Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine has a stator member, a rotor member, a first shroud and a second shroud. The first shroud and the second shroud members are mounted to the rotor adjacent respective first and second end portions of the rotor for rotation with the rotor. The first and second shrouds extend radially over and are spaced from the respective radially extending first and second end portions of the rotor to respectively define radial inlet and outlet paths therewith. The first and second shrouds each have a first radially inner end adjacent and spaced from the shaft to define a gas inlet or outlet, respectively, and a second radial outer end mounted to the rotor adjacent and spaced apart the ventilation ducts for communicating gas between the ventilation ducts and the inlet and outlet paths. The second outlet shroud is spaced further from the shaft than the inlet shroud so as to facilitate the gas flowing in the inlet shroud and out the outlet shroud during normal machine operation. Fan motors are provided at the inlet and outlet of the shrouds to direct gas flow. The present invention provides for an improvement in windage loss by angularly accelerating the gas prior to entering the ventilation ducts of the rotor and an additional improvement by partially reclaiming energy at the outlet shroud energy by angularly decelerating the gas flow.
