The head/disk tester of the invention has a housing 43 that houses spindle 44 that rotatingly supports a magnetic disk 31. The housing supports a moveable carriage 30 that, in turn, supports a magnetic head 32. Positioning means 39 and 41 are used to move the carriage and the magnetic head across the magnetic disk. These positioning means include stepper motors that realize coarse positioning of the magnetic head, and a piezo actuator 37 that is used for fine positioning. Linear encoders 40 and 42 located at both sides of the carriage provide feedback information to a closed-loop positioning system that controls the piezo actuator. A set of special signals ("servo bursts") pre-written at a given track of the magnetic disk is used as an additional source of feedback information for the same closed-loop positioning system. This positioning system includes a servo analyzer 45 that reads and processes servo burst signals from the magnetic disk, and a position controller 49 that controls the piezo actuator. The controller contains two control loops: a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) loop and an additional servo burst loop. During any movement of the magnetic head to a prescribed command position, the servo burst feedback is turned off, and feedback from linear encoders is used by the PID loop to move the head. When the magnetic head reaches the prescribed command position, servo burst loop is turned on; it changes the command position of the PID loop in a way to keep the ratio of pre-written burst signals constant. As a result, the position of the magnetic head with respect to the data track remains the same for as long as necessary, even in unstable temperature conditions.

The invention is generally directed to an accessing system for a patient's coronary sinus which includes a tubular support member with a distal extremity extending into the right atrium of the patient's heart. A guide member is disposed within a first lumen of the tubular support member and advanced out an angled distal tip, through the patient's coronary sinus ostium and into the coronary sinus. A stabilizing member, similar to a conventional intravascular guidewire, is disposed within a second lumen of the tubular support member and extends into the right ventricle of the patient and is seated in the apex thereof. To advance the guide member into the CS ostium, the position of the distal extremity of the tubular support member is adjusted within the atrial chamber by moving longitudinally along or rotating about (or both) the stabilizing member and the guide member is advanced into the CS ostium. These steps may be repeated in a predetermined pattern in order to pass into the coronary sinus ostium.

A microfluidic, chip-based assay device has been developed for measuring physical properties of an analyte (particularly, whole blood or whole blood derivatives). The technologies can be applied to measure clotting times of whole blood or blood derivatives, determine the effects of anticoagulant drugs on the kinetics of clotting/coagulation, as well as evaluate the effect of anticoagulant reversal agents. These technologies can additionally be used to optimize the dosage of anticoagulation drugs and/or their reversal agents. The assay is independent of the presence of anticoagulant; clotting is activated by exposure of the blood sample in the device to a glass (or other negatively charged material such as oxidized silicon) surface, which activates the intrinsic pathway and can be further hastened by the application of shear flow across the activating materials surface. The absence of chemical activating agents and highly controlled and reproducible micro-environment yields a point of care universal clotting assay.
