| 20090306594 | DRUG-DELIVERY PUMPS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE - Embodiments of an implantable electrolytic pump include a drug reservoir, a cannula fluidly coupled to the reservoir, a pumping mechanism for forcing liquid from the reservoir through the cannula, control circuitry for operating the pumping mechanism, and a power source comprising primary and auxiliary batteries in a stacked configuration, only the main battery being operatively coupled to the control circuitry during normal operation, the control circuitry operatively coupling the back-up battery upon detection of an electrical fault. The pump may further include a hermetic enclosure containing the control circuitry and the power source. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100228119 | METHODS OF DETERMINING MOTION AND DISTANCE DURING MEDICAL AND VETERINARY PROCEDURES - A system, for use with a cannula insertable into human or animal tissue, for measuring relative motion during a surgical procedure includes a probe having a probe tip insertable into the cannula, and means for determining relative motion between the cannula and the probe tip. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100228123 | MULTI-FUNCTION OPTICAL PROBE SYSTEM FOR MEDICAL AND VETERINARY APPLICATIONS - A device includes a handpiece having a probe tip disposed at an end thereof, and, connected to the handpiece such that, at the probe tip, a functionality of each is provided, a plurality of optical coherence tomography (OCT) probes. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100228124 | MEDICAL AND VETERINARY IMAGING AND DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES UTILIZING OPTICAL PROBE SYSTEMS - An imaging method includes providing a handpiece having a probe tip insertable into human or animal tissue disposed at an end thereof, and, an optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe connected to the handpiece such that a functionality of the OCT probe is provided at the probe tip. The probe tip is disposed adjacent to or into human or animal tissue. Imaging of the tissue, measuring at least one of a feature size or a quantifiable characteristic of a structure in the tissue for biometry analysis, and/or performing a diagnostic procedure on the tissue or a device implanted in the tissue is performed with the OCT probe. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100228132 | SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING OPTICAL PROBE FUNCTIONS DURING MEDICAL AND VETERINARY PROCEDURES - A device includes a handpiece having a probe tip disposed at an end thereof, and, an optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe connected to the handpiece such that, at the probe tip, a functionality of the OCT probe is provided. A sensor responsive to movement and/or handling of the handpiece for controlling the functionality of the OCT probe is disposed within or on the handpiece. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100228238 | MULTI-FUNCTION OPTICAL PROBE SYSTEM FOR MEDICAL AND VETERINARY APPLICATIONS - A device includes a handpiece having a probe tip disposed at an end thereof, and, connected to the handpiece such that, at the probe tip, a functionality of each is provided, a plurality of probes. The probes may include an optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe, an endoillumination probe, a laser therapy probe, an ultrasound imaging probe, an electrocautery probe, an RF ablation probe, a cryosurgical probe, an irrigator, and/or a mechanical probe. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110202032 | DRUG-DELIVERY PUMPS WITH DYNAMIC, ADAPTIVE CONTROL - In various embodiments, actuation of a drug-delivery pump is controlled based on a change in a condition of the pump. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110270188 | FILL-STATUS SENSORS FOR DRUG PUMP DEVICES - The filling status of a drug reservoir in a drug pump devices may be determined with mechanical and/or magnetic position sensor associated with a reservoir boundary. | 11-03-2011 |
