Temporary valve and filter on guide catheter

A temporary valve and a filtration device can be added to a delivery catheter or guide catheter to improve hemodynamics and provide embolic protection. Both the valve and filter can mount onto the outer diameter of a delivery or guide catheter, which offers several distinct advantages. First, the inner lumen of the delivery or guide catheter remains unaffected, thereby allowing the standard procedure steps to take place without any changes or interruptions, or with minimal changes or interruptions.

Rapid production of engineering tools and hollow bodies by integration of electroforming and solid freeform fabrication

This invention describes a rapid tooling process that integrates solid freeform fabrication (SFF) with electroforming to produce metal tools including molds, dies, and electrical discharge machining (EDM) electrodes. An SFF part is metalized by electroless plating and then placed in an electroplating solution, where metal is deposited upon the part by electrolysis. When the desired thickness of metal has been reached, the SFF part is removed from the metal shell. The shell is then optionally backed with other materials to form a mold cavity, and EDM electrode, or other desired parts for tooling. Thermomechanical modeling and numerical simulation with finite element analysis (FEA) is used to determine the geometry of the SFF part and the electroform thickness for minimizing the manufacturing time and cost while satisfy the tooling requirement.

Enclosure and method for making an enclosure

ActiveUS7997044B2Keep shapePrecisely and quickly formedStrutsCovering/liningsAdhesiveSurface plate
An enclosure, such as a column for supporting a roof, is defined by plural, adjacent, beveled segments, including two outermost segments, folded and joined. An adhesive is used on the beveled edges to help hold the shape of the enclosure. In addition, the edges of the outermost segments are configured to interlock so that, with manual force and no tools, the outermost segments can be snapped together, thereby holding the enclosure while the adhesive cures. The configurations on the outermost edges are preferably made of interlocking projections and recesses, at least one of which projections is displaced slightly when the outermost segments are joined. The segments may be formed by milling a single panel while applying tape to the joints between segments to hold them in adjacent relationship. The tape may then be removed after the enclosure is formed. The preferred material for the enclosure is foamed plastic.

Apparatus and method for precision thermal processing of a body

The invention pertains to apparatus and method for precision thermal processing of a body. An energy beam emanating from an energy beam source is scanned across the surface of the body, creating heat input through a moving spot on the surface of said body. By means described herein to condition the spot shape and flux profile, the flux profile within the spot is configured to approximate a thermal solution obtained by solving a boundary condition of the third kind imposed upon the moving spot associated with the beam as it is scanned across the body. In this manner a predetermined surface temperature profile is imposed on the surface of the body within a moving, locally heated spot of predetermined shape and size.Potential uses include any application which would benefit from the ability to apply a prescribed uniform or variable thermal process to the surface of a body, thus including but not limited to thermal processing of inorganic materials, such as metals and ceramics, and thermal processing of polymeric or organic materials or tissues. Exemplary desired outcomes range from an improvement of surface properties, such as hardness or wear resistance, to the fabrication of a component through an additive manufacturing process.
