    Abstract: An atherectomy catheter is provided for excising and imaging material in a body lumen. In one embodiment, the catheter comprises a catheter body, a cutting blade, and an imaging device. The cutting blade is mounted on the catheter body and configured to move between a first position and a second position relative to an aperture or cutting window. When the cutting blade is in the second position, the blade substantially closes the aperture on the catheter body. The imaging device which is mounted on or otherwise coupled to the cutting blade is configured to be in an imaging position when the cutting blade substantially closes the aperture or cutter window. This allows the imaging device to survey material within the cutting zone of the atherectomy catheter. By allowing the imaging device to view materials within this cutting zone, material may be imaged and then removed from the body lumen without having to reposition the catheter between each step.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for securely operating web servers, operating systems, etc. Methods of embodiments include creating virtual roots for executive jails and corresponding administrative jails within parent operating systems. Embodiments also include setting privileges associated with each of the executive jails to disk read-only. Moreover, administrative jails are hidden from executive jails and the parent operating system is hidden from both sets of jails. Also, the methods include cross mounting user configuration information and/or applications from the administrative jails and in to the corresponding executive jails. Methods can include password protecting the administrative jails and/or restricting the executive jails from initiating outbound communications. Methods can also include storing security related syslog data in locations associated with parent file structure of the parent operating systems. Methods can also include storing web log related syslog data in locations associated with the administrative jails thereby providing, as desired, compliance/auditing reporting functions.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a retractor for providing surgical access through a passage in tissue, together with methods for its use and deployment. The retractor comprises an anchoring frame having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an opening therethrough which defines an axial axis. A flexible tensioning member is attached to the frame, and is extendable from the frame out of the body through the passage when the frame is positioned through the passage and into a body cavity. This tensioning member is selectively tensionable to spread the tissue radially outwardly from the axial axis. Hence, it is the tension imposed on the flexible liner which effects retraction of the tissue, rather than relying on the structural integrity of an artificial lumen.
