摘要： A tissue separator assembly has an elongate tubular member and a tissue separator device located at a distal end of the elongate tubular member. An elongate coupler extends through the lumen of the elongate tubular member and has a distal coupler end. A tissue localization assembly has an elongate member and a localization device located at the distal end of the elongate member. The localization device may be movable from a first, radially-contracted state to a second, radially-expandable state. The distal coupler end of the elongate coupler and the proximal end of the elongate tubular member of the localization assembly are joinable to one another to permit docking of the tissue localization assembly to the tissue separator assembly. Methods of use of this device are also described.

摘要： A tissue-separating catheter assembly comprises a rotatable shaft, having a distal shaft portion, and a tissue separator device extending along the shaft. The tissue separator device has a distal separator part at the distal shaft portion movable between a retracted state, towards the distal shaft portion, and an outwardly extending, operational state, away from the distal shaft portion. A localization device is movable to a radially expanded state. An expandable tubular element is movable so that its outer end is generally axially aligned with the localization device so to capture a separated tissue section therebetween to aid removal of the separated tissue section from the patient.

摘要： The invention provides improved devices, methods, and systems for shrinking of collagenated tissues, particularly for treating urinary incontinence in a noninvasive manner by directing energy to a patient's own support tissues. This energy heats fascia and other collagenated support tissues, causing them to contract. The energy can be applied intermittently, often between a pair of large plate electrodes having cooled flat electrode surfaces, the electrodes optionally being supported by a clamp structure. Such cooled plate electrodes are capable of directing electrical energy through an intermediate tissue and into fascia while the cooled electrode surface prevents injury to the intermediate tissue, particularly where the electrode surfaces are cooled before, during, and after an intermittent-heating cycle. Ideally, the plate electrode comprises an electrode array including discrete electrode surface segments so that the current flux can be varied to selectively target the fascia. Alternatively, chilled “liquid electrodes” may direct current through a selected portion of the bladder (or other body cavity) while also cooling the bladder wall, an insulating gas can prevent heating of an alternative bladder portion and the adjacent tissues, and/or ultrasound transducers direct energy through an intermediate tissue and into fascia with little or no injury to the intermediate tissue. Cooled electrodes may be used to chill an intermediate engaged tissue so as to cause the maximum temperature difference between the target tissue and the intermediate tissue prior to initiating RF heating. This allows the dimensions of tissue reaching the treatment temperature to be controlled and/or minimized, the dimensions of protected intermediate tissue to be maximized, and the like.

摘要： A method of and apparatus for assembling an aircraft wheel or brake (10) component on an axle (26) of an undercarriage in which a holder (12) is provided for the component along with a lifting device (28). The lifting device is used to lift the holder with the component therein to a position where the component is substantially in axial alignment with the axle. Once in that position, assembly of the component on the axle can take place by moving the component axially on to the axle. The holder can then be lowered away from the assembled component.

摘要： A method and related system dynamically determines the location of a network outage in a telecommunications network. A plurality of alarm generating network equipments are located at spaced sites along the network. Alarms are generated upon the detection of problems with a signal passing through continuous signal trunks connected between the alarm generating network equipments. The alarm data from the alarm generating network equipments is connected at a single point. Network topology data is stored in a database, defining the relative locations of the alarm generating network equipments in the network and their respectively connected trunks. The alarmed equipment ports are correlated with respective connected alarmed trunks from data obtained in the database as well as collected alarm data. The alarmed trunks are analyzed for identifying the corresponding minimum number of alarm generating network equipments that exist between the alarmed trunks thereby defining effected inter-equipment trunks. The alarmed trunks passing through a particular inter-equipment trunk are analyzed. The analysis then establishes a minimum common span of all alarmed trunks that pass through the inter-equipment trunk, and along which the outage occurs.

摘要： A neck-mounted personal eating apparatus designed to facilitate eating by a person away from a table, is herein disclosed. The apparatus comprises a rectangular tray equipped with a raised lip around the entire perimeter to prevent liquid spills or loss of crumbs. The short side edges of the tray are provided with an adjustable padded neck strap which goes up and around the rear neck area of the user and attaches to the opposite sides of the tray. The neck strap comprises a flexible plastic “U”-shape strap having a plurality of holes to allow for adjustment. The holes connect to molded ball-end appendages located on either side of the tray. In such a manner, the neck strap can be easily resized to suit all size users from large adults to small children. Additionally, the apparatus comprises an angled fixed length strap that connects to the neck strap to help keep the tray level and prevent movement during use.
