| 20110208276 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REGIONAL AND WHOLE BODY TEMPERATURE MODIFICATION - A heat exchange fluid supply system for supplying a heat exchange fluid to an intravascular heat exchange catheter includes a disposable cassette having a bulkhead and an external heat exchanger, and which is configured to operate in combination with a reusable master control unit. The bulkhead includes a reservoir section and a pump section. The reservoir section is provided with a means to monitor the amount of heat exchange fluid that is in the system. The bulkhead provides the mechanism for priming the system with heat exchange fluid from an external source and for circulating fluid to the catheter in a closed circuit. The pump section is configured to allow for pumping of heat exchange fluid at a constant pressure. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20120010607 | ENERGY BASED DEVICES AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF PATENT FORAMEN OVALE - Methods, devices and systems for treating patent foramen ovale (PFO) involve advancing a catheter device to a position in a heart for treating a PFO, bringing tissues adjacent the PFO at least partially together, and applying energy to the tissues to substantially close the PFO acutely. Catheter devices generally include an elongate catheter body, at least one tissue apposition member at or near the distal end for bringing the tissues together, and at least one energy transmission member at or near the distal end for applying energy to the tissues. In some embodiments, the tissue apposition member(s) also act as the energy transmission member(s). Applied energy may be monopolar or bipolar radiofrequency energy or any other suitable energy, such as laser, microwave, ultrasound, resistive heating or the like. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20120010608 | ENERGY BASED DEVICES AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF PATENT FORAMEN OVALE - Methods and apparatus for treatment of patent foramen ovale (PFO) provide for applying energy to tissues adjacent the PFO with a catheter device to substantially close the PFO acutely. Apparatus generally includes a catheter device having at least one energy transmission member at or near its distal end configured to apply energy to PFO tissues to acutely, substantially close the PFO. Applied energy may be monopolar or bipolar radiofrequency energy or any other suitable energy, such as laser, microwave, ultrasound, resistive heating or the like. Some embodiments of a catheter device fuirther include one or more tissue apposition members near the distal end for helping bring PFO tissues together, such as a PFO covering member, a vacuum applying member and/or the like. PFO closure via energy-based approaches of the invention may help prevent stroke, treat migraine headache, and possibly treat or prevent other medical conditions. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20120109125 | METHODS AND ELECTRODE APPARATUS TO ACHIEVE A CLOSURE OF A LAYERED TISSUE DEFECT - Methods for treating anatomic tissue defects such as a patent foramen ovale generally involve positioning a distal end of a catheter device at the site of the defect, exposing a housing and energy transmission member from the distal end of the catheter, engaging the housing with tissues at the site of the defect, applying suction or other approximating tool to the tissue via the housing to bring the tissue together, and applying energy to the tissue with the energy transmission member or to deliver a clip or fixation device to substantially close the defect. Apparatus generally include a catheter body, a housing extending from a distal end of the catheter body for engaging tissue at the site of the defect, and further adapted to house a fusing or fixation device such as an energy transmission member adjacent a distal end of the housing, or a clip or fixation delivery element. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20110134302 | System, Device, and Method for Displaying Message - A system for displaying a message includes a first electronic device and a second electronic device. The first electronic device includes a touch module, a first projection module, a first positioning module, and a first transceiving module. The touch module receives a touch signal and generates a first image data; the first projection module projects the first image data; the first positioning module provides a first positioning data according to a location of the first electronic device; the first transceiving module transmits a first message including the first positioning data and the first image data. The second electronic device includes a second transceiving module and a second projection module. The second transceiving module receives the first message; the second projection module projects the first image data. Therefore, the system for displaying a message presents the first image data in a specific condition. | 06-09-2011 |
