    摘要: An intraoral behavior monitoring and aversion device to assist a user in quitting an undesirable behavior such as tobacco smoking, tobacco chewing, use of snuff, illicit drug use, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive food consumption, and/or other undesirable activity facilitated via the mouth. The aversion device may be wholly or partially configured to be disposed in the user's mouth, for example. The aversion device may include a detector and a output device, wherein the detector is configured to detect a parameter indicative of the user engaging in the habit or undesirable activity. If (and only if) the detector detects such a parameter, the output device may, optionally, deliver a negative stimulus to the user, thus providing negative feedback and creating an incentive for the user to limit if not eliminate the undesirable activity. The device may be configured to store and/or relay data representing sensed conditions in the mouth.

    摘要: Devices and methods for treating a damaged intervertebral disc to reduce or eliminate associated back pain. The present invention provides disc reinforcement therapy (DRT) which involves implanting one or more reinforcement members in the annulus of the disc. The reinforcement members may be used to stabilize the annulus and/or compresses a portion of the annulus so as to reduce a bulge and/or close a fissure.

    摘要: A novel intravascular device is provided having a distal end including a flexible portion having an axis of elongation. The flexible portion comprises a first twist and a first flat defining a first plane, and a second twist and a second flat defining a second plane. The first plane is substantially orthogonal to the second plane for providing the distal end of the device with substantially symmetric flexibility about the axis of elongation. A novel method of manufacturing a safety ribbon for an intravascular device is also provided. The method comprises the steps of: providing an intravascular device having a substantially rounded core wire at a distal end of the device; flattening the core wire to form a substantially rectangular configuration; fixing one end of the configuration against rotation; and rotating an opposite end of the configuration with respect to the one end, thereby substantially permanently altering the configuration. Alternatively, the method can comprise the steps of: providing an element having a substantially rounded configuration; flattening the element to form a substantially rectangular configuration; providing a coil for operative attachment to the rectangular configuration; twisting the coil so as to place the coil under torsion; maintaining the coil in a torsioned condition; operatively attaching the coil to the rectangular configuration; and effectively releasing the coil such that the coil relaxes, thereby allowing torsion on the coil to twist the rectangular configuration to permanently alter the rectangular configuration.
