20080262506CATHETER - A retrieval catheter 10-23-2008
20090138037STRAIN LIMITING TETHER FOR A CATHETER - A catheter tip and a catheter system are provided. The catheter tip includes a shaft which comprises at least two segments at a distal end portion thereof, wherein the at least two segments define a reception space for receiving a filter element; an expandable tip body; and at least two tethers connecting the segments. The catheter system includes a guide catheter; and a retrieval catheter for insertion into the guide catheter, the retrieval catheter having a catheter tip including a shaft which comprises at least two segments at a distal end portion thereof, wherein the at least two segments define a reception space for receiving a filter element; an expandable tip body; and at least two tethers connecting the segments.05-28-2009
20090138038EMBOLIC FILTER DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - An embolic filter device and method of manufacturing the same are provided. The method includes reducing a wall thickness of a tube in a central region between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion of the tube; cutting the proximal end portion of the tube to form an annular ring at a proximal end of the proximal end portion; cutting a plurality of slits in the central region; and expanding a portion of the tube between the annular ring and the distal end portion. The device includes a distal annular ring; a mesh connected to the distal annular ring; and a proximal annular ring connected to the mesh by at least two connecting portions.05-28-2009

20090107837METHODOLOGY FOR RECYCLING RU AND RU-ALLOY DEPOSITION TARGETS & TARGETS MADE OF RECYCLED RU AND RU-BASED ALLOY POWDERS - A method of recycling ruthenium (Ru) and Ru-based alloys comprises steps of: providing a solid body of Ru or a Ru-based alloy; segmenting the body to form a particulate material; removing contaminants, including Fe, from the particulate material; reducing the sizes of the particulate material to form a powder material; removing contaminants, including Fe, from the powder material; reducing oxygen content of the powder material to below a predetermined level to form a purified powder material; and removing particles greater than a predetermined size from the purified powder material. The purified powder material may be utilized for forming deposition sources, e.g., sputtering targets.04-30-2009
