Abstract: An over tube 50 is formed by a tube body 51, and a gripping part 52 in which a liquid storing part 53 is formed. A connecting port 52A formed at a tip end of the gripping part 52 is fitted into a base end opening 51A of the tube body 51 in a watertight state, so that the gripping part 52 is constructed attachably and detachably with respect to the tube body 51. The liquid storing part 53 is formed into a spherical shape with a larger diameter than a diameter of the tube body 51, and an arc-shaped recessed portion 80 is formed in an inside of the liquid storing part 53. A sponge 82 formed into a donut shape is housed in this recessed portion 80. During an operation, a body fluid flowing backward from a gap between the tube body and an insertion section 12 is stored in the recessed portion 80 and is absorbed in the sponge 82, thus preventing liquid leakage from the recessed portion 80.

Abstract: A self-expanding stent and stent delivery system are provided for treating vascular diseases such as partially occluded blood vessels within the brain. The self-expanding stent is preferably mounted on an elongated core wire including proximal, intermediate and distal cylindrical members disposed about the core wire. The proximal, intermediate, and distal cylindrical members are spaced apart such that first and second gaps are formed. The stent, which includes anchor members, is mounted on the intermediate cylindrical member such that the anchor members interlock within the gaps between the cylindrical members. The self-expanding stent and elongated core wire are disposed within a delivery lumen of a balloon catheter such that the balloon catheter compresses and constrains the stent about the intermediate cylindrical member to thereby interlock the stent onto the core wire. The elongated core wire further includes an expandable capture basket attached to the distal end of the elongated core wire in order to capture embolic debris released during the angioplasty of the blood vessel and the deployment of the self-expanding stent.

Abstract: A flash memory unit comprises a plurality of memory banks capable of simultaneously programming a plurality of pages into a plurality of data blocks within the respective memory banks. On start up, the flash memory System sends a signal to a host. If the host fails to respond, the flash memory unit determines that the host is a standard host and stores data one page at a time. If the host responds with a proper signal, the flash memory unit determines that the host is a high performance host and stores multiple pages of data simultaneously. The high performance host is configured to select identical LBA offsets from a plurality of virtual logical blocks of user data, and send the data defined by these logical block addresses to the flash memory unit for storage. The plurality of logical blocks of data are respectively transmitted to a plurality of RAM data registers, and simultaneously programmed into their respective memory banks. In sequential steps of programming, data defined by consecutive logical block addresses are stored in physical pages defined by consecutive physical block addresses. Data stored by a high performance host is therefore retrievable by a standard host.

Abstract: A voting scheme for analog signals is described An analog blocks replicated to provide three analog blocks that are designed to have substantially the same analog output based on receiving substantially the same input. Voting is used to compare the analog outputs from the three analog blocks. In one example, the analog output from one of the three analog blocks having a middle value between the values of the other two analog outputs is provided as an output of the voter circuit. In another example, if the original analog block provides the analog output having the middle value, the output of the original analog block is provided as an output of the voter circuit. Otherwise, an output of another analog block is provided as an output of the voter circuit. In another example, the analog voter circuit determines which of the three analog outputs have been impacted by a transient event based on a non-zero output of transconductor circuits. These analog voting schemes may be incorporated into any circuit design in which an analog signal may be susceptible to SEE.
