    摘要: A medical instrument system includes an elongate flexible instrument body with an optical fiber substantially encapsulated in a wall of the instrument body, the optical fiber including one or more fiber gratings. A detector is operatively coupled to the optical fiber and configured to detect respective light signals reflected by the one or more fiber gratings. A controller is operatively coupled to the detector, and configured to determine a twist of at least a portion of the instrument body based on detected reflected light signals. The instrument may be a guide catheter and may be robotically or manually controlled.

    摘要: Medical diagnostic ultrasound catheters are provided with improved materials for dielectric withstand strength. In one aspect, the catheter includes a braid of non-conductive material. The non-conductive braid reduces the capacitive: coupling effects and allows smaller catheters or a greater number of conductors. The non-conductive braid provides both compressive and tensile strength to transmit the torque applied to the catheter. The non-conductive braid also allows fusing of components while decreasing the risk of defective manufacture. In another aspect, a dielectric film, such as a polyester film, is positioned between the transducer and any lens or window. The dielectric film allows thinner window lenses to be used, allowing smaller catheters or larger transducers. The dielectric film may also increase the sensitivity of the transducer to acoustic energy. The dielectric film prevents the lens or window material from filling kerfs in the transducer, which may eliminate the need for filling the kerfs of the transducer.

    摘要: This invention resides in a curing process for adhesive on a housing member of a tape automated bonding section (TAB section). A force is applied to the housing member and then the entire TAB section is heated to a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient duration to cure the adhesive. The applied force, coupled with the heat squeezes a portion of the adhesive out from between the TAB section and the housing member and onto an inner portion of the outer leads before the adhesive cures. This embeds the inner portion of the outer leads with adhesive so that they are retained in alignment with and electrically isolated from each other.The manner in which the force is applied to the housing member during the curing process is also a novel feature of the invention. The TAB section within the carrier frame is placed on a pedestal in a mounting fixture. A compressor block is then disposed against the TAB section. A compressor bar clamped over the compressor block and to the mounting fixture urges the compressor block against the TAB section. This also causes a centrally-located spring loaded plunger within the compressor block to push against the semiconductor chip but with a reduced force. This reduced force presses the chip against a housing member aperture so that a silver epoxy mounted in the aperture can evenly disperse over the semiconductor chip.
