20090299364 | Suction Force Ablation Device - An ablation device for ablating tissue having an outer wall and an inner wall, approximately parallel and concentric with said outer wall, defining an inner fluid chamber and an outer low pressure chamber. Each of the outer wall and the inner wall have an edge defining an open face of the fluid chamber and the low pressure chamber. An ablative element is contained within the fluid chamber. A source of low pressure is coupled to the low pressure chamber. When the edge of the outer wall and the edge of the inner wall contact a surface, the ablation device is at least partially secured to the surface by low pressure created in the low pressure chamber by the source of low pressure. The fluid chamber is at least partially fluidly isolated from the low pressure chamber when the ablation device is at least partially secured to the surface. | 12-03-2009 |

20100204716 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR OCCLUSION OF AN ATRIAL APPENDAGE - Some embodiments of the invention provide a system for occluding a left atrial appendage of a patient. Some embodiments of the system can include a ring occluder that can be positioned around the left atrial appendage and a ring applicator to position the ring occluder with respect to the left atrial appendage. One embodiment discloses a method of accessing endocardial surfaces of the heart through the atrial appendage. Additional embodiments of the invention provide a clip occluder that can be positioned around the left atrial appendage. A clip applicator can position the clip occluder with respect to the left atrial appendage. | 08-12-2010 |

20100145361 | Methods and Devices for Occlusion of an Atrial Appendage - A novel occluder application and clip device for treatment of embolic stroke caused by atrial fibrillation uses multiple sutures in a non directional handle to affix the occlusion device to the applicator and manipulate the occluder from an open and receiving position to a closed and occluding position. The occluder is retained in place by a clamping means related to locks retainers, resilient material or otherwise. An actuator mechanism is used to manipulate the occluder to a locked or occluding position. The applicator with the occluder attached has a low profile and remote manipulations to allow the occluder to be delivered to the clamping location within a patient through a small incision or delivery port such as a trocar cannula or the like. | 06-10-2010 |

20100145331 | Loop Ablation Apparatus and Method - Embodiments of the invention provide an ablation apparatus for ablating target tissue adjacent pulmonary veins of a patient. The ablation apparatus can include a tube capable of being advanced around the pulmonary veins to form a loop. The tube can receive or include electrodes to ablate target tissue. Some embodiments provide a loop ablation device, which may include a cannula and two or more electrode rods carrying two or more bipolar electrodes. The electrode rods can be advanced through the distal ends toward the proximal ends of the loop and toward the target tissue. The bipolar electrodes can receive energy to ablate the target tissue. The bipolar electrodes may be surrounded by the liquid within the cannula while ablating the target tissue. The loop ablation device can further include a rotating grasping mechanism coupled to the electrode rods. | 06-10-2010 |

20150073601 | TEST SYSTEM HAVING A COMPLIANT ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY AND ITERATIVELY OBTAINED DRIVE - A test system and a method includes applying a test drive signal to a physical test rig having a compliant actuator assembly for imparting loads to a test specimen. An actual response signal of the physical test rig and the test specimen to the test drive signal is obtained and an error as a function of the actual response signal and a selected response signal is calculated. If the error has not reached a selected threshold a new drive signal based on the error and a relaxation gain factor is obtained. The new drive signal is obtained and applied until the error reaches the selected threshold. | 03-12-2015 |
