US Patent:
8364237, Jan 29, 2013
Filed:
Feb 26, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/660515
Inventors:
Corbett W. Stone - San Diego CA, US
Michael F. Hoey - Shoreview MN, US
Tom A. Steinke - San Diego CA, US
Raphael M. Michel - San Diego CA, US
Arthur G. Blanck - Ramona CA, US
Assignee:
Vessix Vascular, Inc. - Laguna Hills CA
International Classification:
A61B 5/04
A61B 5/05
A61B 18/18
US Classification:
600381, 600372, 600373, 600547, 606 39, 606 41, 606 42, 606 48
Abstract:
A catheter and catheter system can use energy tailored for remodeling and/or removal of target material along a body lumen, often of atherosclerotic material of a blood vessel of a patient. An elongate flexible catheter body with a radially expandable structure may have a plurality of electrodes or other electrosurgical energy delivery surfaces to radially engage atherosclerotic material when the structure expands. An atherosclerotic material detector system may measure and/or characterize the atherosclerotic material and its location, optionally using impedance monitoring.

Selective Accumulation Of Energy With Or Without Knowledge Of Tissue Topography

View page
US Patent:
8401667, Mar 19, 2013
Filed:
Nov 12, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/617519
Inventors:
Rolfe Tyson Gustus - San Diego CA, US
Linas Kunstmanas - Valley Center CA, US
Arthur G. Blanck - Ramona CA, US
Assignee:
Vessix Vascular, Inc. - Laguna Hills CA
International Classification:
A61F 7/12
US Classification:
607 99, 607 96, 607 98
Abstract:
Methods and systems for heating a body tissue region adjacent a body lumen using selective accumulation of energy without knowledge of tissue topography. Methods include positioning an energy delivery portion of a catheter within the lumen adjacent the body tissue region, determining a pulse characteristic in response to a thermal property of a first tissue type and applying pulsed energy with the characteristic to treat a second tissue type within the region by drawing heat from the first tissue at a rate that inhibits thermal damage to the first tissue while building-up heat in the second tissue. Systems include a catheter body having an energy delivery portion processor configured to control a pulse characteristic of pulsed energy to therapeutically treat the second tissue by drawing heat from the first tissue at a rate that inhibits thermal damage to the first tissue while building-up heat in the second tissue.

Memory With Isolated Master Boot Record

View page
US Patent:
20060253643, Nov 9, 2006
Filed:
May 4, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/122465
Inventors:
Arthur Blanck - Ramona CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 12/00
US Classification:
711103000, 711170000
Abstract:
The present invention provides a nonvolatile flash memory comprising a data storage space having a first erase block and an active partition, wherein the first erase block comprises an MBR. The active partition comprises a boot sector followed by a master FAT, a backup FAT and a root directory. The first erase block is disposed outside of the active partition such that the flash memory remains operable even if the boot sector and FAT become corrupted.

US Patent:
20080188913, Aug 7, 2008
Filed:
Oct 18, 2007
Appl. No.:

International Classification:
A61B 18/14
US Classification:
607 99
Abstract:
Methods and systems are disclosed for treating diseased tissue by gentle heating. The method induces vasodilation on tissue disposed about an lumen having both healthy tissue and diseased tissue. The method includes coupling a probe surface to the luminal tissue at a target location and transmitting desired quantities of tissue remodeling energy from the coupled probe into each of a plurality of discrete remodeling zones in the luminal tissue so that the tissue remodeling energy heats the plurality of remodeling zones, the remodeling energy being configured to avoid muscular contraction and inhibit both acute and long-term occlusion of the lumen.
