Swaging Die And Method Of Use

View page
US Patent:
6993953, Feb 7, 2006
Filed:
Sep 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/676496
Inventors:
Josef J. Stupecky - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Assignee:
Interface Associates, Inc. - Laguna Niguel CA
International Classification:
B21D 39/04
US Classification:
72416, 292835
Abstract:
A swaging die is configured to substantially uniformly reduce the diameter of a tubular attachment, such as a marker band, to result in a smooth and repeatable finished part. The swaging die comprises a first block, and a second block, with each of the first and second blocks defining a cavity that cooperate to define a swaging cavity when the first block is juxtaposed with the second block. The first block is configured to receive an impact, thereby varying the volume of the swaging cavity and applying a swaging force onto a tubular attachment located therein. The tubular attachment is preferably fed through the swaging cavity to uniformly and gradually reduce the diameter of the tubular attachment.

Swaging Machine And Method Of Use

US Patent:
7010953, Mar 14, 2006
Filed:
Sep 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/676495
Inventors:
Josef J. Stupecky - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Assignee:
Interface Associates, Inc. - Laguna Niguel CA
International Classification:
B21D 39/04
US Classification:
72416, 72402, 292835
Abstract:
A swaging machine is configured to substantially uniformly reduce the diameter of a tubular attachment, such as a marker band, to result in a smooth and repeatable finished part. The swaging machine comprises a feed system, an impact system, and a rotation system. A split die having a compound die cavity is provided for use in conjunction with the swaging machine to receive an impact force from the impact system and, in turn, apply a swaging force to the marker band. The rotation system rotates the impact system, including the die, about the axis of the marker band to apply swaging forces about the circumference of the marker band, while the feed system feeds the marker band through the die thereby applying swaging forces along the length of the marker band.

Measurement Apparatus And Methods For Balloon Catheters

View page
US Patent:
7578165, Aug 25, 2009
Filed:
Dec 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/303545
Inventors:
Josef J. Stupecky - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Assignee:
Interface Associates, Inc. - Laguna Niguel CA
International Classification:
G01B 21/12
G01B 11/00
US Classification:
73 181, 356627
Abstract:
Measurement devices and methods for measuring balloon catheters are provided. Embodiments enable measuring the outer dimensions and burst pressure of a balloon catheter. The measurement apparatus can measure a balloon catheter in ambient air or a balloon catheter submerged in a heated water bath. In ambient air, an axial drive mechanism translates the balloon catheter in an axial direction and a rotary drive mechanism rotates the balloon catheter while a measurement device is used to measure balloon catheter dimensions. In a water tank, an axial drive mechanism translates the balloon catheter in an axial direction while a measurement device is used to measure the burst pressure of the balloon catheter. The devices and methods can utilize a laser micrometer in order to provide such measurements. A control unit provides a user interface and is capable of displaying real time data during the measurement process.

Balloon Catheter Folding And Wrapping Devices And Methods

View page
US Patent:
7762804, Jul 27, 2010
Filed:
Dec 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/303546
Inventors:
Josef J. Stupecky - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Assignee:
Interface Associates, Inc. - Laguna Niguel CA
International Classification:
B29C 53/08
US Classification:
425392, 425397, 425402, 72402
Abstract:
A balloon folding apparatus is provided for use in the manufacture of balloon catheters. The balloon folding apparatus includes a plurality of arms and a plurality of blades attached to the plurality of arms such that the plurality of blades is capable of translating in a radial direction. Preferably, a plurality of stepper motors coupled to the plurality of arms provides precise radial movement of the plurality of blades. Each of the plurality of blades is profiled to create a plurality of folds in a balloon catheter. A balloon wrapping apparatus is also provided and operates in a similar manner. The balloon wrapping apparatus includes a plurality of blades configured to wrap a folded balloon catheter around a catheter shaft so as to minimize the diameter of the balloon catheter.

Multi-Layer Balloons For Medical Applications And Methods For Manufacturing The Same

View page
US Patent:
7942847, May 17, 2011
Filed:
Dec 15, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/611748
Inventors:
Josef J. Stupecky - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Eric Mabry - Trabuco Canyon CA, US
Assignee:
Interface Associates, Inc. - Laguna Niguel CA
International Classification:
A61M 29/00
US Classification:
604 9601, 60410306
Abstract:
A multi-layered balloon is provided where each layer is formed such that each layer is made from tubing that optimizes the inner wall stretch thus providing maximum balloon strength. The high pressure, multi-layer balloon is provided with layers that allow for slipping, such that the balloon has a very high pressure rating and toughness, yet excellent folding characteristics. Methods for producing such multi-layer balloons using existing balloon forming equipment are also provided. The multi-layer balloons can have alternating structural and lubricating layers, or layers with low-friction surfaces. The multi-layer balloons are preferably manufactured using a variety of methods including nesting, co-extrusion, or a combination of nesting and co-extrusion. The multi-layer balloons have balloon layers having substantially similar, or the same, high degree of biaxial orientation of their polymer molecules such that each balloon layer of the multi-layer balloon will fail at approximately the same applied pressure.

Gas Flow Meter Housing

View page
US Patent:
50333127, Jul 23, 1991
Filed:
Nov 6, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/432040
Inventors:
Josef Stupecky - Irvine CA
Assignee:
Bicore Monitoring Systems - Irvine CA
International Classification:
G01F 122
G01F 140
US Classification:
7386153
Abstract:
A variable gas flow meter for obtaining a differential pressure across a membrane having a variable area orifice. The orifice is defined by a hinged flap which swings open in the direction of gas flow. The area of the orifice enlarges with increased flow. The flow meter retains the membrane in a central housing configured to prevent the accumulation of liquids, such as moisture or mucus, which enter the line. In a first, horizontal embodiment, the housing invert is continuous and flush throughout except for a negligible ridge of membrane that remains when the orifice opens. In a second, vertical embodiment, the housing allows liquids in an upper conduit section to drop downward and flow out the device into a lower conduit section through the forces of gravity and a gas flow.
