20090069694 | Coronary sinus access catheter with forward-imaging means - A coronary access catheter system simplifies the insertion of objects into distal branches of the coronary sinus. The system incorporates a real-time forward-imaging means to view the os and the branches of the coronary sinus. Preferably, the catheter uses near-infrared light as the forward-imaging means, but it could also include ultrasound or electromagnetic transducer. As the image is viewed, the catheter tip can be steered into the coronary sinus os and deflected in a tight radius bend on the distal end to navigate the short radius, right angle turns found in the coronary sinus branches. At that point, a flexible sheath can be placed over the guide catheter or objects such as guidewires can be inserted into channels of the guide catheter. The system consists of a catheter and image acquisition unit, which displays the forward image. | 03-12-2009 |

20100198081 | Scanning light imager - This invention describes the detection of atherosclerotic plaque or cancer cells by a light probe inside a blood vessel or internal to an elongate organ. In one embodiment, vessel wall is imaged by employing a scanning mechanism using one emitting and one receiving fiber, whereby light is directed at a spinning mirror, approximately normal to the vessel or elongate organ surface. The light is reflected circumferentially around the vessel or elongate organ surface as the mirror rotates and received by a low-numerical aperture (NA) fiber, which transmits it to a light detector, thereby generating a set of light amplitudes circumferentially around the vessel/elongate organ surface. Multiple rings are acquired by translating the probe within the vessel/elongate organ. In another embodiment, adding a piezoelectric transducer in proximity to the distal ends of the fibers permits simultaneous ultrasound and light images to be created. | 08-05-2010 |

The door moves between a closed position in which the door at least partially covers the opening, and an open position in which the door is spaced apart from the opening to form a gap therebetween. The over road trailer further includes a seal attached to at least one of the door and the container body. The seal is at least partially compressed and/or deflected between the door and the container body to seal the gap when the door is in the open position. | 02-19-2009 |
