| 20110046542 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR CLOT DISSOLUTION - Clot disruption and dissolution are achieved using a catheter having the ability to infuse a thrombolytic agent, aspirate clot and fluid, and allow passage of a guidewire. Optionally, the catheter may also include a mechanical agitator for further disrupt clot in the presence of the thrombolytic agent. A flow resistor in the catheter provides for infusion and/or aspiration to be concentrated primarily at a clot treatment area in a blood vessel while also providing optional infusion and/or aspiration distal to the treatment area. In some embodiments, infusion, aspiration and guidewire passage occur through a common lumen. The thrombolytic agent, such as tPA, streptokinase, or urokinase, is directly released into the clot at the point where the agitator is engaging the clot. In this way, the thrombolytic activity of the agent is enhanced and the dissolution of the clot is improved. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20110218566 | METHOD FOR LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE OCCLUSION - Disclosed is an occlusion device for use in a body lumen such as the left atrial appendage. The occlusion device includes an occlusion member and may also include a stabilizing member. The stabilizing member inhibits compression of the left atrial appendage, facilitating tissue in-growth onto the occlusion member. Methods are also disclosed. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20100020691 | Actuator for implementing rate-based packet sending over packet switching networks - An actuator is disclosed which is required to implement, without errors, a generic rate-based packet sending algorithm over a packet switching network such as the Internet. Typical applications are audio/video streaming over UDP or TCP, audio/video conference over IP, Voice over IP, real-time data delivery, IP Television, Digital Video Broadcast over IP, client-server or peer-to-peer content distribution, Content Delivery Networks, Hybrid peer-to-peer/CDNs. Rate-based packet sending is of key importance for providing Quality of Service/Experience (QoS/QoE) over the Internet because it provides reduced queuing delays and jitters, and reduced buffer sizes both at application and network layers. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20100196241 | Methods and Systems for Reducing Particulate Matter in a Gaseous Stream - Methods and systems for reducing emissions of particulate matter from a gaseous stream are provided. The subject systems include a catalyst that reduces the amount of particulate matter emissions in the gaseous stream. Embodiments of the subject systems may also reduce the amount of particulate matter precursor emissions in the gaseous stream. In some cases, the subject systems and methods include a sorber that facilitates the reduction in particulate matter and particulate matter precursors in the gaseous stream. The subject methods and systems find use in a variety of applications where it is desired to reduce particulate matter emissions from a gaseous stream. | 08-05-2010 |
