摘要： An apparatus and method for splitting or otherwise separating and routing optical fibers are provided in which a splitter housing having first and second separable halves is mounted upon a plurality of optical fibers without having to cut all of the optical fibers. The splitter housing generally includes an inline portion and a branch portion. The inline portion defines an input port at one end for receiving a plurality of optical fibers and a primary output port at the opposed end through which at least one optical fiber exits. The branch portion extends outwardly from the inline portion at one end and defines a secondary output port at the opposed end. The branch portion is in communication with the inline portion such that at least one optical fiber that enters through the input port can be separated from the remainder of the optical fibers and routed through the branch portion.

摘要： An apparatus is provided for strain relieving a communications cable having a non-cylindrical cross section and for optimally positioning a plurality of the cables. The apparatus includes at least two plates oriented adjacent one another. Each of the plates has at least one mounting surface and at least one strain relief surface. The strain relief surface may be angled relative to the mounting surface. At least one fastener draws the plates together to grip the cable between the strain relief surfaces. The apparatus may further include a plurality of laterally extending teeth depending from the strain relief surface of at least one of the plates. The teeth increase the gripping force applied to the cable. The cable may have an electrically conductive inner sheath that is pierced by the teeth on the strain relief surface and the apparatus may be further provided with a ground strap for grounding the cable.

摘要： A method of loading a medical device into a delivery system includes providing a two-stage shape memory alloy at a temperature at which at least a portion of the alloy includes austenite. A stress which is sufficient to form R-phase from at least a portion of the austenite is applied to the medical device at the temperature. A delivery configuration of the medical device is obtained, and the medical device is loaded into a restraining member. Preferably, the delivery configuration of the medical device includes stress-induced R-phase.

摘要： The present invention provides a wire guide (20) suitable for use in a body vessel, such as a peripheral vessel. The wire guide comprises a core member (22) and a first coiled member (40), each having proximal and distal ends. In one embodiment, the core member comprises at least one recessed portion (36), wherein the proximal end of the first coiled member is seated at least partially within the recessed portion to form a substantially flush exterior surface with the core member. The wire guide further preferably comprises a second coiled member (50) having proximal and distal ends, wherein the second coiled member is disposed distal to the first coiled member. The distal end of the first coiled member may be partially intertwined with the proximal end of. the second coiled member. A shaping ribbon (60) may be disposed substantially beneath the second coiled member to achieve a desired curvature at the distal tip of the wire guide.
