More specifically, the invention relates to implantable medical devices having at least one porous layer, and methods for making such devices, and loading such devices with therapeutic agents. A mixture or alloy is placed on the surface of a medical device, then one component of the mixture or alloy is generally removed without generally removing the other components of the mixture or alloy. In some embodiments, a porous layer is adapted for bonding non-metallic coating, including drug eluting polymeric coatings. A porous layer may have a random pore structure or an oriented or directional grain porous structure. One embodiment of the invention relates to medical devices, including vascular stents, having at least one porous layer adapted to resist stenosis or cellular proliferation without requiring elution of therapeutic agents.

| 20110246798 | Method, apparatus, and system for enabling platform power states - To address the need for power management, the following facilitates maintaining power states in an efficient manner based at least in part on managing packets at different layers of an input/output interface that supports multiple layers. One specific example prevents a destructive event for link layer control logic because packets and information might have been lost or dropped due to a hang condition and/or a dropped packet. In yet another example of power management, this facilitates a low power platform state by preventing the loss of packets or data upon exiting a platform power state upon initiation of a link reset condition by preventing certain types of packets from reaching link layer controller logic. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20090187503 | GENERATING CONTENT TO SATISFY UNDERSERVED SEARCH QUERIES - Generating content to satisfy search engines queries is described. A knowledge base including a plurality of prior search queries for a search engine and corresponding prior search results provided by the search engine is accessed and a plurality of underserved search queries are identified, wherein each of the underserved search queries comprises a search query pattern having a below threshold number of search results. Each of the underserved search queries are heuristically related to one another. The plurality of underserved search queries are aggregated into a taxonomy category having a set of associated attributes, the attributes descriptive of the plurality of underserved search queries. Targeted content is generated based on the attributes, wherein the targeted content is tailored satisfy the underserved search queries. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20100241008 | ECCENTRIC PRESSURE CATHETER WITH GUIDEWIRE COMPATIBILITY - There is herein described a catheter for measuring a pressure in a cardiovascular system. The catheter comprises: a guiding tube adapted for insertion into the cardiovascular system. The guiding tube defines a lumen for sliding a guidewire therethrough. The catheter further comprises a tip pressure sensor eccentrically mounted relative to the guiding tube and a signal communication means extending therefrom. The tip pressure sensor is for sensing a pressure in the cardiovascular system and the signal communicating means is for transmitting a signal indicative of the pressure to a processing device in order to obtain a pressure measurement reading. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20110306832 | FOLDING ENDOSCOPE AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - Disclosed is a folding endoscope with incorporated optical sensors and light sources. The foldable endoscope includes a housing having first and second ends and a longitudinal axis and at least one channel extending between the first and second ends and associated ports at the first and second ends for inserting surgical instruments through the housing into a surgical site. The endoscope includes three elongate arms having first and second ends and being pivotally connected at the first ends thereof to the first end of the housing. A camera and light source are mounted on each of the elongate arms such that when the elongate arms are deployed the cameras have a field of view in a generally forward direction away from the housing. A linkage mechanism is connected to the elongate arms, and an actuator is connected to the linkage mechanism. The linkage mechanism, upon activation by the actuator, is configured to pivotally deploy the three elongate arms from a closed position in which the elongate arms are aligned along the longitudinal axis to an open position with the second ends of the elongate arms radially spaced from the longitudinal axis. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20110306991 | ANASTOMOSIS DEVICE AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - The present invention provides an anastomosis device which includes an elongate center pin having proximal and distal ends. The proximal end is configured to be graspable using a grasping tool. A grip mechanism is located at the distal end for crimping a suture. The device includes an outer sleeve having a passageway therethrough to receive therein the elongate center pin. A suture having a suture needle is attached to a first end of the center pin and a second end of the suture is formed into a pre-formed knot mounted on the sleeve. The device includes a suture release mechanism having a passageway extending therethrough to receive the outer sleeve therein. The suture release mechanism slides along the sleeve between a first position in which the suture release mechanism is spaced from the distal end and a second position such that movement of the suture release mechanism from the first position to the second position dislodges the pre-formed knot off the sleeve. A free end of the suture, which was attached to a suture needle but cut lose after the suture has been passed through the tissue being sutured, is crimped by the crimp mechanism. The pre-formed knot is dislodged such that the crimped end of the suture is located within the pre-formed knot and pulling the suture through the knot tightens the pre-formed knot on the suture. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20110306994 | DEVICE FOR PERFORMING END-TO-END ANASTOMOSIS - Herein is provided an anastomosis device which includes a cylindrical support housing having a tapered section being formed of a plurality of compliant fingers integrally formed around the circumference of an end of the cylindrical section which can flex at their connection point to the cylindrical section. Each compliant finger holds a suture needle. The device includes a push rod having a cam head at one end of the rod section. The cam head is located adjacent to the tapered portion. In operation the anastomosis device is aligned with the anatomical tubular structure undergoing an anastomosis process. When a back end of the push rod is pushed towards the tapered section of the support housing, the cam head section bears against an inner surface causing each compliant finger to flex radially outwards forcing the suture needles to simultaneously pierce the wall of the anatomical tubular structure. | 12-15-2011 |
