20080208324METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OCCLUDING AN ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE - Methods and apparatus for occluding an anatomical structure including a device having at least first and second clamp portions adapted to cooperate to move from an open position adjacent an anatomical structure to a closed position engaging and occluding the anatomical structure. A system for delivery of a fluid to affect occlusion of an anatomical structure is provided, as well as an applicator for deploying occlusion devices having different sizes.08-28-2008
20090301480DIAGNOSTIC SAMPLE COLLECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE - A bronchoalveolar lavage instillation/aspiration system which includes (i) a needleless bronchoalveolar lavage instillation/aspiration device with a barrel member including a barrel lumen having a distal aperture and a self-sealing member configured for maintaining a fluid-disruptable, resealable barrier to the distal aperture; and (ii) a catheter assembly configured to provide a patent path of fluid communication between the instillation/aspiration device and a patient bronchial passage, where the catheter includes a wedging structure configured to engage a patient bronchial passage. In another aspect, embodiments of the present invention may include one or more methods of making and using a system or component described herein.12-10-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090001594AIRGAP INTERCONNECT SYSTEM - A method may comprise assembling a first dielectric ensemble that comprises a first dielectric layer exhibiting a first porosity, a second dielectric layer exhibiting a second porosity and a third dielectric layer exhibiting a third porosity, and fabricating a first metal line in the dielectric ensemble. A chemical may be applied on the third layer to pass through and dissolve a portion of the second layer. The third layer acts to prevent a via that is partially landed on the dielectric from exposing the air gap underneath.01-01-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110112806AIRCRAFT FEATHERING, FLAPPING AND ROTOR LOADS INDICATOR - A feathering, flapping and rotor loads indicator for use in a rotorcraft includes a calculation unit configured to calculate (a) a current temperature of a bearing of the rotor assembly using a first calculation model, (b) a projected temperature of the bearing using the first calculation model and (c) a load exerted on a selected component of the rotor assembly using a second calculation model, the first and second calculation models adapted to calculate, respectively, the projected and the current temperatures of the bearing and the load exerted on the selected component based on flight control parameters; and a display unit configured to display on a common scale a movable indicator, the movable indicator being driven by the highest value between the projected temperature of the bearing and the load exerted on the selected component. The display unit displays another movable indicator driven by the current temperature of the bearing.05-12-2011
