    摘要: A spring assembly usable with an intravascular catheter can include a tubular body, two mounting surfaces, and a compressible framework. The tubular body extends along a longitudinal axis and is sized to traverse vasculature. Each mounting surface can be configured to engage a substantially planar electrical circuit and is positioned in the tubular body each in a respective plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The mounting surfaces face toward each other in opposite directions. The compressible framework extends between the first and second mounting surfaces. The spring assembly can further include a pair of electrical circuits mounted to the pair mounting surfaces. Each electrical circuit can include an inductive coil such that the pair of electrical circuits is a distance transducer. A change in distance between the pair of electrical circuits can be detected when the compressible framework is compressed and/or bent.

    摘要: A radio frequency (RF) ablation system is disclosed including signal generator circuitry and control circuitry. The signal generator circuitry is configured to generate a plurality of RF ablation current signals each having a respective phase and a respective amplitude. The control circuitry is configured to reduce crosstalk between a first RF ablation signal of the plurality of RF ablation current signals and a second RF ablation signal of the plurality of RF ablation current signals by adjusting the respective phase of the first RF ablation signal in relation to the respective phase of the second RF ablation signal such that the respective phase of the first RF ablation signal is different than the respective phase of the second RF ablation signal.

    摘要: An electrical connector assembly includes a female connector, which includes a female connector housing defining a cavity having an hourglass shape and a first array of electrically-conductive pins disposed within the cavity. The electrical connector assembly further includes a male connector that includes a male connector housing having an hourglass-shaped protrusion dimensioned to be inserted into and fit tightly within the cavity and a second array of electrically-conductive sockets, which are contained within the protrusion and are dimensioned and aligned so that upon insertion of the protrusion into the cavity, each of the pins is introduced into and makes electrical contact with a respective one of the sockets.
