| 20080304074 | OPTICAL CATHETER CONFIGURATIONS COMBINING RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY WITH OPTICAL FIBER-BASED LOW COHERENCE REFLECTOMETRY - The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for sample analysis, such as tissue analysis, that integrate high wavenumber (HW) Raman spectroscopy for chemical composition analysis and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to provide depth and morphological information. The invention also provides side-viewing optical probes that are based on a single double clad optical fiber for performing the combined HW Raman spectroscopy and OCT. Intravascular catheter embodiments and related vascular diagnostic methods are also provided. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090231578 | MULTI-CHANNEL FIBER OPTIC SPECTROSCOPY SYSTEMS EMPLOYING INTEGRATED OPTICS MODULES - The invention provides unitary optics modules that integrate several light management functions for performing optical spectroscopy, such as Raman spectroscopy, and optical spectroscopy systems that include one or more of the unitary optics modules. Methods of using the modules and systems are also provided. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20100113906 | HYBRID BASKET CATHETERS - The invention provides hybrid basket-type intravascular catheter probes designed to optimize blood vessel wall contact or close proximity while traversing tortuous curves. Related diagnostic systems and methods are also provided. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100315632 | OPTICAL APPARATUS FOR COMBINED HIGH WAVENUMBER RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY AND SPECTRAL DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY - The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for sample analysis, such as tissue analysis, that integrate high wavenumber (HW) Raman spectroscopy for chemical composition analysis and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to provide depth and morphological information. Intravascular catheter embodiments and related vascular diagnostic methods are also provided. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20100170682 | INFLATABLE PACKER ASSEMBLY - Conventional formation evaluation with dual inflatable packers includes the steps of pressurizing the packers so as to isolate an annular portion of the borehole wall, collecting one or more samples of formation fluid via the isolated portion of the borehole wall, and depressurizing the packers so as to permit movement of the mandrel within the borehole. A sampling method and apparatus that utilize one or more of the following to advantage is provided: restricting deformation of the packers during inflation using an annular bracing assembly; actively retracting the packers using ambient borehole pressure; and substantially centralizing the mandrel intermediate the packers so as to resist buckling of the mandrel. | 07-08-2010 |
