    摘要: A DC-to-DC voltage regulator circuit comprising: an output node; a pull-up switch and a pull-down switch with an output node coupled between them; a reactive circuit element coupled to the output node; a pull-up setting voltage circuit coupled to provide a pull-up setting voltage that is a function of a voltage at the output node; a pull-down setting voltage circuit coupled to provide a pull-down setting voltage that is a function of the voltage at the output node; a first comparator coupled to cause the pull-up switch to transition between open switch state and its closed switch state based upon a comparison of the pull-up setting voltage and a control voltage; and a second comparator coupled to cause the pull-down switch to transition between its open switch state and its closed switch state.

    摘要: A computer-assisted medical device is configured and used to endoluminally navigate to a location in the gastrointestinal system and there treat certain body lumen wall areas while avoiding other body lumen wall areas. Embodiments ablate the inner mucosal layer and sub-mucosal nerve plexus of the stomach, duodenum and jejunum to effect treatment of insulin resistance and metabolic disorders, such as Type II diabetes (T2D), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), congestive heart failure (CHF) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Various sensors are used to assist a clinical operator to navigate from the mouth through the pyloric sphincter and into and through the duodenum and/or jejunum. Various sensors are used to map and identify portions of the duodenum and/or jejunum. Various lumen wall ablation devices and methods are described. Various post-treatment assessments are described.

    摘要: A system is provided to detect a breach of an insulative sheath in a bipolar electrosurgical instrument the system including: a first pulse detection circuit to detect a first high frequency (HF) signal component of a HF signal conducted on a lead of the bipolar instrument; a second pulse detection circuit to detect a second HF signal component of the HF signal conducted on a conductive shield surrounding the lead; magnitude difference sampling logic to produce sample values indicative of magnitude difference between the first HF signal component and the second HF signal component; and current detection logic to detect current flow between the shield and anatomical tissue based upon the sample values.
