    摘要: A stent for disposition in a body passageway or duct to maintain the duct walls apart, for example, to allow the flow of fluid therethrough, includes an elongate flexible support wire formed into an annular lattice having a central void, for disposition at a target location in the duct. Also included is an elongate flexible connecting wire joined at a distal end to the annular lattice and having a discontinuity for severing when supplied with a perturbation signal, a balloon catheter having an expandable section disposable in the void of the annular lattice so that when the expandable section is expanded, it forces the annular lattice radially outwardly to contact and hold apart the duct walls, and a fluid supply for supplying fluid to the expandable section of the balloon catheter to cause it to expand. A perturbation signal source is provided for supplying the perturbation signal to the discontinuity of the connecting wire to cause severance thereof.

    摘要: A fixture apparatus for material deposition or processing on a long, flexible, nonplanar, filamentary substrate has a tubular member for holding the filamentary substrate rotatably disposed on a base. An opening is formed in the tubular member through which material is deposited on the surface of the filamentary substrate. Moveable tubes are each slidingly disposed in the tubular member on either side of the opening. The tubes and/or the tubular member hold the filamentary substrate on both sides of a deposition area on the substrate to maintain the straight configuration of the long, flexible, filamentary substrate. The tubes and/or tubular member also physically masks the filamentary substrate to prevent material deposition outside the deposition area on the substrate. The base has a circular path and a rotating member. A wheel is coupled to one side of the tubular member and is rotatably disposed on the circular path of the base. The other side of the tubular member is rotatable coupled to the rotating member of the base by a bearing. The rotating member causes the wheel to turn about a vertical axis in a circular path. The wheel is fixed to the tubular member causing the tubular member to rotate about a horizontal axis or longitudinal axis of the tubular member. As the rotating member turns and the wheel rolls, the tubular member the filamentary substrate is rotated about the two different axes to uniformly deposit material on the filament.

    摘要: A method of coating a surface of a filament. In particular, the invention rotates a member (13) about a first axis (54), which will rotate a tubular member (16), which is rotatably coupled to the rotating member at an angle to the first axis, through a plane and about a longitudinal axis (56) of the tubular member that is co-planer to the plane. This is done to assist in the depositing of a uniform material onto the filament that extends through the tubular member and through a deposition area (40). It is important for the method to maintain the deposition area at an intersection of the first axis, longitudinal axis and plane, while the filament is being rotated in step. The method provides for adjusting the deposition area to expose a different length of the filament to the deposition of material thereon. Additionally, the method further comprises the steps of: un-winding a length of the filament that is in a feed basket coupled to one end of the tubular member; feeding the filament length through the tubular member; and collecting the filament length in a receiving basket that is coupled to another end of the tubular member. It is noted that there is a step of rotating a traction wheel, which is fixedly coupled about the tubular member at an end opposite to where the tubular member is rotatably coupled to the rotating member, about the longitudinal axis to cause the tubular member to rotate through the plane and about the co-planer longitudinal axis. Wherein the traction wheel runs along a top surface of a circular wall that is located equal distant about the first axis.
