    摘要: A tubular transition member having an annular wall with at least one cut extending through the annular wall is disclosed for controlling a transition in stiffness of a catheter from a stiffer more pushable proximal section to a more flexible and trackable distal section and increasing kink resistance. The transition member may extend across the junction formed between the stiffer proximal section and the more flexible distal section. The transition member may be used in conjunction with any type of catheter including single-operator-exchange type catheters, over-the wire type catheters, and/or fixed-wire type catheters.

    摘要: An electro-acoustic transducer for driving a large surface is used to convert electrical signals into sound. The transducer has a housing with a cast aluminum bottom and a molded plastic top. The top and bottom are fastened together by screws with a gasket in between the contacting surfaces to form a housing for a high power electromagnetic voice coil driver mechanism. The top has an opening to allow the voice coil to be centered in its gap by a centering gauge during assembly of the driver. A cap closes the opening once the voice coil is fixed in place in the housing. The op is hexagonal and flat with circular rings in the top surface to allow the top to flex in a controlled manner while supporting the bottom which remains stationary.

    摘要: Methods of using biological sequence data. Evolved biological sequences may be used to identify the defining biological characteristics of the sequences—the three-dimensional structure and biochemical function. Some of the present methods extract such information, use such information to predict functional mechanism, and/or use such information in the design of artificial biological sequences. Other methods are included, as are related computer readable media and computer systems.

    摘要: A process is disclosed for the direct electroplating of a non-conductive material comprising non-conductive surfaces and metallic surfaces. The process involves contacting the non-conductive material with a compound capable of selectively forming a sacrificial layer on the metallic surfaces which sacrificial layer is substantially insoluble in alkaline or neutral media but soluble in acidic media. The foregoing step is followed by deposition of carbon onto the surfaces followed by contact with an acidic solution and subsequent electroplating.

    摘要: The methods and reagents described in this invention are used to analyze circulating tumor cells, clusters, fragments, and debris. Analysis is performed with a number of platforms, including flow cytometry and the CELLSPOTTER® fluorescent microscopy imaging system. Analyzing damaged cells has shown to be important. However, there are two sources of damage: in vivo and in vitro. Damage in vivo occurs by apoptosis, necrosis, or immune response. Damage in vitro occurs during sample acquisition, handling, transport, processing, or analysis. It is therefore desirable to confine, reduce, eliminate, or at least qualify in vitro damage to prevent it from interfering in analysis. Described herein are methods to diagnose, monitor, and screen disease based on circulating rare cells, including malignancy as determined by CTC, clusters, fragments, and debris. Also provided are kits for assaying biological specimens using these methods.
