Abstract: A discoidal brake for a bicycle comprises a pair of discoids, each of which is mounted on a bicycle member laterally of a wheel rim, one on either side of the wheel. The discoid is pivotally mounted in levered relation on each pivot mount below adjacent and biased away from the wheel rim. A brake shoe is affixed to each discoid to allow camming of the brake shoe into the wheel rim facilitating braking. A control cable is affixed to a control member above the wheel with the control member being connected to the center of a yoke cable. The yoke cable is affixed to each discoid with yoke cable passed partway around the annular component on each discoid.

Abstract: A novel brake assembly is provided for a bicycle. The assembly is comprised of an arrangement of a pair of pulleys attached to braking arms with affixed brake pads leveraged against the bicycle rim. The braking power is accentuated by employing the two pulleys on the braking arms. A return spring causes the arms to return to non-braking position in response to the release of the braking cable.

Abstract: The present invention contemplates a surgical device for both ablating a channel in a patient's tissue and also delivering a therapeutic agent. The device includes an elongated multi-lumen tube, an elongated tissue ablating assembly, and a therapeutic agent delivery assembly. The therapeutic agent is capable of being delivered into the channel and/or to the surrounding tissue. The device may further include a second multi-lumen tube also capable of delivering therapeutic agents. Although suitable for many operations, the device is particularly well suited for transmyocardial revascularization operations. The present invention also contemplates a procedure for using such a surgical device to ablate a channel in a patient's tissue and also deliver a therapeutic agent.

Abstract: Methods for the treatment of ischemic limbs. An energy source, which will typically be a laser energy source deployed through an optic fiber, is deployed subcutaneously to a site of ischemic skeletal muscle. At the site, a plurality of channels are preferably systematically formed with an appropriate amount of activated energy, which in turn can facilitate the restoration of blood flow through new blood vessel formation. Optionally, a needle or cannula can be deployed in conjunction with the energy source to help facilitate the formation of channel formation and/or deliver a therapeutic agent at the sight of channel formation. A sheath may also be utilized to house the optic fiber and deliver a therapeutic agent.

Abstract: An externally supported, tape-reinforced tubular prosthetic graft and method of manufacturing therefore. The graft comprises a tubular base graft formed of expanded, sintered fluoropolymer material, a strip of reinforcement tape helically wrapped about the outer surface of the tubular base graft and attached thereto, and, an external support member helically wrapped around the outer surface of the reinforcement tape and attached thereto. The helical pitch of the reinforcement tape is different from the helical pitch of the external support member. Preferably, the helical pitch of the reinforcement tape is in a direction which is opposite the direction of the external support member.

Abstract: Stented tubular grafts of expanded, sintered polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The stented PTFE grafts of the present invention include an integrally stented embodiment, an externally stented embodiment, and an internally stented embodiment. In each embodiment, the stent may be either self-expanding or pressure-expandable. Also, in each embodiment, the stent may be coated or covered with a plastic material capable of being affixed (e.g., heat fused) to PTFE. Manufacturing methods are also disclosed by the individual components of the stented grafts are preassembled on a mandrel and are subsequently heated to facilitate attachment of the PTFE layer(s) to one another and/or to the stent. Optionally, the stented graft may be post-flexed and post-expanded following it's removal from the mandrel to ensure that the stented graft will be freely radially expandable and/or radially contractible over it's full intended range of diameters.
