US Patent:

8267955, Sep 18, 2012

Filed:

Jan 20, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/010671

Inventors:

William R. Patterson - Irvine CA, US
Earl Slee - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Tom Wilder - Newport Beach CA, US
Thomas McCarthy - San Clemente CA, US
Brian Strauss - Trabuco Canyon CA, US

Assignee:

Tyco Healthcare Group LP - Mansfield MA

International Classification:

A61M 29/00

US Classification:

606200, 606191

Abstract:

A vaso-occlusive device is provided for reducing blood flow in a patient. The device can include a coil, a stretch resistant member, and a plurality of fibers. The coil can define a lumen and be sized for insertion to a point of use in a vascular network of the patient. The stretch resistant member can have a first end fixedly attached to the first end of the coil. Further, the plurality of fibers can be configured with each of the fibers in direct contact with the stretch resistant member.

US Patent:

Filed:

Apr 12, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/758771

Inventors:

Thomas Robert McCarthy - San Gabriel CA, US

International Classification:

B01D 11/04

US Classification:

134 941, 134 26, 422256

Abstract:

Embodiments of this device or method repeatedly apply droplets of two or more liquids by means of nozzles of fixed relative direction in an alternate or sequential manner to a target location on a surface for removing material from the surface, adding material to the surface, or using the surface to biphasically catalyze a reaction of components of the liquids. The droplets have essentially no contact with one another before reaching the surface (FIG. A thru H). The effect of the droplets on the target surface can be modified by a continuous or interrupted flow of air or other gas to the target surface (FIG. A thru H), or by application of radiations such as sonic or ultrasonic radiation, or various frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, to the target surface, or some combination of these. Means may be included for adjusting the temperature of the liquids and gasses.

US Patent:

Filed:

Dec 26, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/025893

Inventors:

Thomas McCarthy - Redondo Beach CA, US

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation

International Classification:

H04N001/00

US Classification:

358/402000

Abstract:

This invention allows the use of standard e-mail systems by a document capture system to solicit document metadata from a user. The document capture system sends an e-mail to the user associated with the captured document. The e-mail body contains the names of the metadata properties supported by the repository system for the captured document. An attachment to the e-mail consists of a screen resolution image of the first page of the captured document to remind the user about the particular document for which metadata is being requested. The user edits a reply email body to supply metadata values for each of the metadata property names. When the user sends the reply, the document capture system extracts the metadata values from the e-mail body and stores the supplied metadata values and the captured document into the repository.

A61B 6/00

US Classification:

600424, 606200, 604508, 60410302

Abstract:

Methods for restoring blood flow in occluded blood vessels using an apparatus having a self expandable distal segment that is pre-formed to assume a superimposed structure in an unconstrained condition but can be made to take on a volume-reduced form making it possible to introduce it with a microcatheter and a push wire arranged at the proximal end, with the distal segment in its superimposed structure assuming the form of a longitudinally open tube and having a mesh structure of interconnected strings or filaments or struts. In a preferred embodiment, the distal segment has a tapering structure at its proximal end where the strings or filaments or struts converge at a connection point.
