摘要:
A universal, in-vehicle attachment system comprising open slots whereby a similarly shaped storage unit with complimentary prongs is inserted, providing a secure and easy fastening attachment device designed to secure devices and items in place within the vehicle such as, for example, cellular phones, CDs or DVDs, bottles, mugs, cups, coolers, bike racks, and PDAs. This in-vehicle storage or securing attachment system can be molded to conform directly to the size and shape of the particular object or, alternatively, a more generic type receptacle can be used to secure such items. Further, the in-vehicle attachment system is incorporated into the vehicle, with multiple locations, including the seat back panel, instrument panel, door panel, quarter panel, floor panel, or other interior surfaces.

A console lighting assembly is provided for illuminating an interior of a vehicle comprising a housing assembly mounted in the interior of a vehicle passenger compartment. A plurality of pulleys are positioned in the housing assembly, each of the plurality of pulleys is individually rotatable. A plurality of illumination units each includes a respective cable and a light generator at a distal end of the cable. Each cable is spooled on a respective pulley and the illumination units are movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A plurality of switch pads are located on the housing assembly and are positioned around the plurality of illumination units for activating and deactivating a respective illumination unit. A retractor is coupled to the pulleys for retracting the plurality of illumination units from the extended position to the retracted position. Each of the plurality of illumination units is pliable so as to maintain a selected orientation of illumination as determined by a user.

A method is provided for increasing the outflow of fluid through Schlemm's canal that is useful for treatment of glaucoma. The implant is placed in Schlemm's canal by use of a flexible delivery instrument attached to the implant. The instrument and implant are positioned within the canal, the implant is released and the distal and proximal ends of the implant are connected to apply sufficient axial tensioning force on the inner wall of the canal to increase fluid permeability. In another embodiment a delivery instrument attached to the implant is positioned in the canal securing one of the distal or proximal ends of the implant within the canal. The implant provides sufficient axial tensioning force on the inner wall of the canal to increase fluid permeability of the inner wall of the canal. The other of the distal or proximal ends may be secured to maintain the tensioning force on the inner wall of the canal.

An arterial catheter system for removing plaque from the aorta and other arteries is disclosed. The system typically includes an elongate catheter member, a filtration apparatus disposed within the distal region, and an atherectomy assembly which includes a mechanism for trapping and holding mobile or fixed plaque and an excising mechanism for removing the plaque. In use, the catheter is positioned so that the atherectomy assembly lies within a region of interest, the filtration apparatus is deployed downstream of the region of interest, the plaque is trapped and held by a snare, vacuum, or other trapping means, and then the excising mechanism is activated to remove the plaque. Methods are also disclosed for removing plaque from the aorta and other arteries.

An improved capacitive keyboard uses a standard printed circuit board provided in various locations with spaced conductor pairs. A conductive disc with a flat insulated lower surface is aligned above each conductor pair. All of the discs are suspended above the printed circuit board within apertures of a web of polymer foam material and held in position by a sheet of adhesive covered plastic that covers and adheres to the entire upper surface of the web and each of the discs.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for testing information technology systems and/or applications are provided. In some examples, data may be categorized as frequently used and stored at an information technology system testing system. One or more portions of the frequently used data may then be identified for use in testing an information technology system. The systems, methods, and the like may further include building a testing environment and receiving a test script. In some examples, one or more data types may be identified for use in testing the information technology system based on various project criteria, the received test script, and the like. In some examples, additional data types and data associated therewith may be identified as associated with the one or more identified data types based on a predefined relationship. This additional data may then be automatically included in the testing of the information technology system.

The invention provides tools, materials and related methods to surgically access the suprachoroidal space of an eye for the purpose of performing minimally invasive surgery or to deliver drugs to the eye. The invention provides a flexible microcannula device (11, 13) that may be placed into the suprachoroidal space (12, 14) through a small incision (12A) of the overlying tissues, maneuvered into the appropriate region of the space, and then activated to treat tissues adjacent to the distal tip of the device.
摘要:
A shunt and method of use for maintaining distal blood flow during an arteriotomy procedure is disclosed. The shunt includes a first tubular member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen therebetween. The proximal end has an opening in communication with the lumen, and the proximal opening is adapted to receive blood from a first region of an artery. The distal end has an opening in communication with the lumen, and the distal opening is adapted to release blood into a second region of the artery. The shunt includes a second tubular member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen therebetween which either merges and communicates at its distal end with the lumen of the first tubular member, or rides separate and parallel to it. The shunt also includes a hemostatic valve attached to the proximal end of the second tubular member, the valve acting to prevent loss of blood from the lumen of the second tubular member and to permit the introduction of a medical device into the lumen of the second tubular member and into the artery. In use, the distal opening of the shunt is inserted into the second region of an artery and secured to the lumen of the artery. A blood filter device is deployed within the artery. The proximal opening of the shunt is inserted into the first region of the artery and secured to the lumen of the artery. Endarterectomy is performed on the region of the artery which lies between the proximal opening and the distal opening of the shunt, and embolic material dislodged during the procedure is captured by the filter.
