    摘要: An ablation catheter including a shaft supporting one or more partially or completely exposed braided electrodes that may be positioned against a target tissue to ablate the tissue. The shaft may be precurved in a loop-like shape or any other shape to assist in positioning the electrode against a target tissue. The shaft may include a fluid lumen to direct a fluid material, which may be conductive, through one or more apertures or ports. The ports are adapted to direct the fluid past portions of the braided electrode to cool the electrode, flush blood away from the electrode, and to transfer ablation energy to the target tissue. Ablation energy may be delivered directly by the electrode and by way of a conductive fluid contacting the electrode. The shaft may further include a second lumen to provide a housing for a control wire that may be used to control the shape of the shaft.

    摘要: A holder assembly for paper currency, credit cards and other type of currency including an elongated band comprising a plurality of movably interconnected segments extending along a length thereof. A connecting assembly, which may be formed of a shape memory alloy of the type demonstrating pseudo-elastic properties, interconnects the plurality of segments and is structured to facilitate expansion or contraction of the band as well as to normally bias the band, as well as the plurality of segments, into a contracted orientation. In at least one embodiment a coupling assembly is connected to the band and is disposed and structured to vary the length of the band such that the longitudinal dimension thereof is adjustable whether the band is in the expanded or contracted orientation. In addition, a container may be connected to the band and structured to removably contain one or more card type objects.

    摘要: A seating pad assembly is provided for use by travelers to increase the comfort for a seat on a public transportation vehicle or at a public transit terminal. The seating pad assembly includes a cushion formed from a viscoelastic foam and having dimensions substantially conforming to the dimensions of at least the hip/thigh support and the back support of the seat. Thus, the viscoelastic foam will bridge hard points and pinch points of the seat and will efficiently support the traveler across the gap. The seating pad assembly further includes a removable cover, straps for holding the pad in a coiled condition and a carrying bag for transporting the pad assembly.
