    摘要: Disclosed is an angioplasty balloon catheter and method of use, said angioplasty balloon catheter includes an elongated tip end with physical characteristics nearly identical to a standard angiographic diagnostic catheter. The elongated tip end extends approximately between 2 cm to 75 cm beyond a distal end of a balloon, depending upon embodiments. The tip of the elongated tip end may be angled or straight depending upon embodiments and may or may not have a plurality of side holes in addition to an end hole depending on embodiments. The elongated tip end permits the angioplasty balloon catheter to tract more easily across tortuous or markedly angulated segments of a dialysis graft or fistula, minimizing complications that can result with currently available devices. If angulated, the elongated tip end also enables a user to selectively catheterize an artery without needing a separate diagnostic catheter to do so, and enable tracking and cornering across sharply angulated vessel segments. Whether with an angled or straight distal catheter portion, the angioplasty balloon catheter disclosed herein allows the user to perform angioplasty of an inflow segment of a dialysis graft or fistula and then perform post angioplasty angiographic imaging without the need to exchange the angioplasty balloon catheter for a diagnostic catheter, advance the balloon catheter into the native artery, or perform a blowback angiographic run, thereby improving safety and reducing procedure time.

    摘要: Disclosed is an angioplasty balloon catheter and method of use, said angioplasty balloon catheter includes an elongated tip end with physical characteristics nearly identical to a standard angiographic diagnostic catheter. The elongated leading end extends approximately between 3 cm to 75 cm beyond a distal end of the balloon, depending upon embodiments. The tip of the elongated leading end may be angled or straight depending upon embodiments and may or may not have a plurality of side holes in addition to the end hole depending on embodiments. The elongated leading end permits the PTA balloon catheter to tract more easily across tortuous or markedly angulated segments of the dialysis graft or fistula, minimizing complications that can result with currently available devices. If angulated, the elongated distal end also enables a user to selectively catheterize an artery without needing a separate diagnostic catheter to do so, and enable tracking and cornering across sharply angulated vessel segments. Whether with an angled or straight distal catheter portion, the hybrid device discloses herein allows the operator to perform angioplasty of an inflow segment of a dialysis graft or fistula and then perform post angioplasty angiographic imaging without the need to exchange the angioplasty balloon catheter for a diagnostic catheter, advance the balloon catheter into the native artery, or perform a blowback angiographic run, thereby improving safety and reducing procedure time.

    摘要: Disclosed is a multifunctional convertible catheter and methods of use, said multifunctional convertible catheter capable of performance of both diagnostic angiography while containing a guide wire throughout its lumen and angioplasty, and also being convertible between over-the-wire or rapid exchange configurations by manipulation of said multifunctional catheter and said guide wire by an operator. Whether used in an over-the-wire or rapid exchange configuration, a multifunctional convertible catheter disclosed herein allows the operator to perform angioplasty at any site in the body without use of an exchange length guide wire, without the need to exchange said convertible angioplasty balloon catheter for a diagnostic catheter pre- or post-angioplasty, without the need of an injectable vascular sheath, all while reducing catheter inventory requirements for the health care system.

    摘要: The systems, methods and associated devices performing diagnostic hearing tests which use a computer network to allow interaction between a test administration site and one or a plurality of remote patient sites. The test can be administered by an audiologist or clinician at a site remote from the patient, in a manner, which can allow interaction between the user and the clinician during at least a portion of the administration of the test. The diagnostic hearing tests can be performed such that they meet standardized guidelines such as ANSI requirements or certification standards and can include distortion product emission level measurements or middle ear compliance measurements.

    摘要: A system provides automation or semi-automation of trade execution and recordkeeping services for a fund of funds, in particular, a fund of hedge funds. In providing such features for trade execution and recordkeeping, various transaction processes may be automated or semi-automated, thus, reducing an amount of human operator action and introduction of associated delay and possibility of error. Moreover, such a system may have further utility in providing access to lot-level records.

    摘要: The present invention provides an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) packet detect unit. In one embodiment, the OFDM packet detect unit includes a correlation indicator configured to cross-correlate a received symbol and a stored standard symbol to yield a correlation result. Additionally, the OFDM packet detect unit also includes a threshold discriminator coupled to the correlation indicator and configured to produce a packet detect signal for a fast Fourier transform (FFT) placement peak based on a comparison between the correlation result and a threshold.
