20090234328SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BREACHING A STERILE FIELD FOR INTRAVASCULAR PLACEMENT OF A CATHETER - An integrated catheter placement system for accurately placing a catheter within a patient's vasculature is disclosed. In one embodiment, the integrated system comprises a system console, a tip location sensor for temporary placement on the patient's chest, and an ultrasound probe. The tip location sensor senses a magnetic field of a stylet disposed in a lumen of the catheter when the catheter is disposed in the vasculature. The ultrasound probe ultrasonically images a portion of the vasculature prior to introduction of the catheter. ECG signal-based catheter tip guidance is included in the integrated system to enable guidance of the catheter tip to a desired position with respect to a node of the patient's heart. Various means for establishing a conductive pathway between a sterile field of the patient and a non-sterile field to enable passage of ECG signals from the catheter to the tip location sensor are also disclosed.09-17-2009
20100069743SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING AN ACCESS PORT - An access port for subcutaneous implantation is disclosed. Such an access port may comprise a body for capturing a septum for repeatedly inserting a needle therethrough into a cavity defined within the body. Further, the access port may include at least one feature structured and configured for identification of the access port subsequent to subcutaneous implantation. Methods of identifying a subcutaneously implanted access port are also disclosed. For example, a subcutaneously implanted access port may be provided and at least one feature of the subcutaneously implanted access port may be perceived. Further, the subcutaneously implanted access port may be identified in response to perceiving the at least one feature. In one embodiment, an identification feature is engraved or otherwise defined by the access port, so as to be visible after implantation via x-ray imaging technology.03-18-2010
20100121283IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES INCLUDING SEPTUM-BASED INDICATORS - An access port for providing subcutaneous access to a patient is disclosed. The access port includes a septum including palpable identification indicia thereon. In particular, the access port in one embodiment includes a body that defines a fluid cavity and a needle-penetrable septum covering the fluid cavity for providing access thereto. The septum defines an outer periphery. One or more palpation features are included on the septum. The palpation features each include a portion that extends in a radial direction beyond the outer periphery of the septum. The palpation features are therefore disposed relatively farther away from each other, simplifying palpation and identification thereof after the port has been subcutaneously implanted into a patient. The palpation features can be indicative of an attribute of the port, such as its ability to withstand fluid pressures and flow rates associated with power injection, for instance.05-13-2010
20110028896FEEDING DEVICE INCLUDING BALLOON TIP AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A feeding tube device for delivering a substance into a stomach of a patient. The feeding tube may include an overlapping segment integrally formed with and extending from the distal end of the feeding tube, and an inflation lumen defined within the feeding tube. The overlapping segment may surround at least a portion of the distal end of the feeding tube to form a balloon structure in communication with the inflation lumen.02-03-2011

20080263862Gas turbine and manufacturing process of gas turbine - The invention is intended to maintain turbine reliability when, based on a gas turbine designed for one desired cycle, a gas turbine for another different cycle is manufactured. A channel of a compressor is formed such that a mass flow of a fluid compressed by the compressor changes. Thus, when manufacturing, based on the gas turbine designed for one desired cycle, the gas turbine for another different cycle, turbine reliability can be maintained.10-30-2008

20110091293THROWAWAY ROTARY CUTTING TOOL - In a rough cutting cutter, square tips and rectangular tips are disposed in a staggered pattern in an axial direction in second to fourth step portions, so a cutting edge is formed by a pair of one of the square tips and one of the rectangular tips. It is therefore possible to effectively reduce a frequency of contact with a blade root. Furthermore, in the second to a fifth step portions, ARs (rake angles in the axial direction) and RRs (rake angles in a radial direction) of the square tips and the rectangular tips gradually increase in order from a tip end to a back end of a tool body. It is therefore possible to suppress chatter vibration during machining and is possible to reduce roughness of a cut surface of a work material.04-21-2011
20110091297THROWAWAY ROTARY CUTTING TOOL - In a semi-finishing cutter, rectangular tips and square tips are disposed in a staggered pattern in an axial direction in second to fourth step portions, so a single cutting edge is formed by a pair of one of the rectangular tips tips and one of the square tips. It is therefore possible to effectively reduce a frequency of contact with a blade root. A cutting speed of the semi-finishing cutter may be increased and a cutting feed may be made faster, so work in a semi-finishing process may be performed efficiently. The rectangular tips and the square tips have simple shapes, so known commercially available throwaway tips may be used. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the semi-finishing cutter in an easy-to-use form without increasing the cost.04-21-2011

The first portion is defined by a circular arc which is convex in a direction of rotation of the tool body and which has a first radius of curvature as measured in a distal end view perpendicular to the axis. The second portion is defined by a straight line or a circular arc which is convex in the rotation direction and which has a second radius of curvature as measured in the distal end view. The third portion is defined by a circular arc which is convex in the rotation direction and which has a third radius of curvature as measured in the distal end view. The second radius of curvature is larger than the first radius of curvature. The third radius of curvature is smaller than the second radius of curvature.11-20-2008
