摘要： Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and apparatus for accurate positioning of a dual balloon catheter. In one embodiment of the present invention, a first balloon provides an anchoring point. In one embodiment, the first balloon has protrusions to help secure its position. In one embodiment, once the first balloon is inflated, it provides a fixed position relative to which a second balloon is accurately positioned in the treatment region. In another embodiment, a second balloon imparts a radial force. In another embodiment, a second balloon imparts an axial force, using the first balloon as an anchor against which the force is applied. The force may be applied in a forward or a backward direction. In yet another embodiment, a second balloon imparts a rotational force, using the first balloon as an anchor against which the force is applied.

摘要： An apposition sensing system including a stent; a catheter assembly to which the stent is coupled for deployment into a lumen; and a sensor positioned on the catheter assembly adjacent to an end of the stent. The sensor is adapted to provide an electrical parameter which is indicative of apposition of the end of the stent to the inner wall of the lumen. In one aspect of the invention, the sensor includes first and second pressure sensors positioned at proximal and distal portions of the catheter assembly adjacent to proximal and distal ends of the stent. A monitoring unit monitors pressure changes sensed by the sensors. In accordance with an alternative embodiment of the invention, there is provided an expansion sensing system including a stent having an electrically conductive region; an expandable insulating sleeve; a catheter assembly to which the stent is coupled for deployment into a lumen; and at least one electrode associated with the catheter assembly. The sleeve is positioned between the electrode and the conductive region, the electrode and conductive region being adapted to provide an electrical parameter which varies in correspondence with expansion of the stent. In one aspect of the invention, the sleeve positioned between the electrode and the conductive region define a variable capacitor. A monitoring unit monitors variations in capacitance between the electrode and conductive region which is directly proportional to the change in stent diameter.

摘要： An endoluminal device slippage sensor system including an electrically conductive endoluminal device and a catheter assembly to which the device is coupled for deployment into a lumen. First, second and third electrodes are associated with the catheter assembly, each respectively in direct electrical contact with a proximal, a middle and a distal portion of the device. A potential source generates a potential between the first and second electrodes and between the second and third electrodes. The potential between the electrodes is varied in accordance with a change of position of the device along the axis of the catheter assembly during deployment in which the proximal or distal portion of the device is disconnected from the first or third electrode, respectively. In accordance with another embodiment of the invention there is provided an endoluminal device slippage sensor system including an electrically conductive endoluminal device and a catheter assembly to which the device is coupled for deployment into a lumen. At least two electrodes are mounted longitudinally along the length of the catheter assembly, each of the electrodes being in direct electrical contact with the device. A potential source generates a potential between the electrodes, the potential between the electrodes being varied in accordance with a change of position of the device along the axis of the catheter assembly.

摘要： The disclosed system uses seismic signaling to locate survivors in a mine collapse. A separate transmitter with a specific pre-selected frequency or frequencies is placed in pre-positioned safety zones of a mine. The system generates frequency-locked, unmodulated seismic energy, which allows rescuers to identify the safety zone where a transmitter is activated. The transmitter comprises an oscillator that generates the signal. The oscillator drives the transducer. The transducer causes the inertial mass to move. The movement of the inertial mass generates the seismic waves, which are conducted through the pressure plate to the earth. The seismic signal is detected then amplified, filtered, converted and then processed. The use of a continuous signal enables the processing unit to identify the frequency of the signal with a very low error rate, using frequency content identification. The disclosure also describes a method for transmitting seismic waves through the earth using the above described system.
