Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100179635PROSTHESIS DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM - An introducer for an expandable endovascular prosthesis having a self expanding stent has a distal prosthesis positioning mechanism and a proximal prosthesis retention mechanism. The proximal prosthesis retention mechanism includes a cylindrical sleeve adapted to retain the self expanding stent. A release mechanism extends proximally from the distal prosthesis positioning mechanism exerts a force in the proximal direction on the self expanding stent to retain the self expanding stent in the cylindrical sleeve.07-15-2010

20100163159LARGE DIAMETER DELIVERY CATHETER/SHEATH - A large diameter, flexible, kink-resistant, delivery catheter or sheath for percutaneous delivery of a contained and implantable medical device in the vasculature of a patient. The delivery catheter or sheath includes a reinforcement such as a flat wire coil with uniform spacing between the turns, which is compression fitted about an inner, lubricous PTFE tube. The delivery catheter or sheath further includes an outer tube of a heat formable polyamide material which is heat formed and compressed through the spaces between the turns of the wire coil to mechanically connect to a roughened outer surface of the inner tube. A polymeric radiopaque marker tube may be positioned at the distal end of the coil and between the inner and outer tubes for radiographic visualization. A side port may also be positioned thereat for the infusion of contrast media.07-01-2010

20100183267OPTOELECTRONIC INTERCONNECTION SYSTEM - An optoelectronic interconnection system is for use in optical communications. The optoelectronic interconnection system may include a substrate having a main portion and a foldable portion formed on a substrate of a board for positioning an optically active device connected to the foldable portion. The foldable portion is adapted to be folded with respect to the main portion into a desired optical coupling orientation for which an optical operative axis (OA) of the optically active device arranged therein is substantially aligned with an optical transmission axis (TT′) that is other than perpendicular to the main portion. A holding fixture holds the foldable portion in the desired optical coupling orientation.07-22-2010

20100218843 PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR FILLING A TUBE WITH GRANULAR MATERIAL - A process for filling a tube with granular material, which material is guided downwardly in a vertically oriented tube along a line provided with flexible elements in the shape of wires which are arranged substantially to the line, and having a radial dimension which is smaller than the inner diameter of the tube, the line being removed from the tube as the latter is filled with the granules, the line being moved during the removal movement with a non uniform speed which is related to the filling speed of the device.09-02-2010

20110272086MOULDED BODY FOR PRODUCING A FIBRE COMPOSITE COMPONENT - A shaped body and a method for producing fibre composite components, wherein the shaped body is formed using a paper and/or cardboard material, at least in part. This makes possible cost-effective manufacture of hollow profiles of any desired length from fibre composite materials, in particular from prepreg materials and/or reinforcing fibre arrangements which are subsequently impregnated with a curable plastics material. The paper and/or cardboard material can be provided with further properties, such as gas-tightness and non-stick properties, by applying suitable functional layers. Moreover, the material makes it possible to produce highly dimensionally stable shaped bodies or support cores, in such a way that fibre composite components having highly reproducible spatial dimensions can be produced. In addition, after curing, the shaped bodies can be collapsed in a simple manner by applying a vacuum and thus removed from the fibre composite component without residues.11-10-2011
