Abstract: A spark plug wire puller is described which is actuated by a user squeezing a trigger biased against a handle of the tool which causes two jaw members to come together at gripping ends thereof to squeeze a wire or boot. As the user squeezes the trigger and pulls on the tool, the jaws grip the wire or boot and remove it from the spark plug. The invention is advantageous because it does not rely on a scissors action and it grips the boot in such a way so as not to damage it during the removal process.

Abstract: A disposable tip adapted for use in connection with an optical probe of an instrument. The tip includes a one-piece molded elastomeric base member having a boot and an opaque tissue-engaging surface. The boot releasably mates with and provides an interference/friction fit to the probe. The tissue-engaging surface surrounds and extends from the boot. A window in the base member extends into the boot to transmit light between the probe and tissue. A layer of optically transparent material covers the window on the tissue-engaging surface. Adhesive on the tissue-engaging surface of the base member releasably secures the probe to the tissue being analyzed.

Abstract: A method of analyzing a patient's tissue oxygenation capabilities includes measuring a tissue chromophore whose light absorption properties depend on the oxygenation state of the tissue and generating data representative of tissue oxygenation before, during and after a controlled ischemia event. From this data characterizing data, including ischemia onset slope, ischemia onset response time, ischemia recovery slope, ischemia recovery response time or hyperemia is automatically determined. This characterizing data is related to corresponding characterizing data determined from a control population. The relationship may be displayed on a graphical display.

Abstract: A spectrophotometric instrument including a source of measurement light signals having measurement light wavelengths, and a probe having a tissue-engaging surface, a plurality of send fibers coupled to the measurement light signal source for transmitting the measurement light signals to the tissue-engaging surface, and a plurality of receive fibers for receiving light including the measurement light signals after the measurement light has been transmitted through the tissue. The instrument also has reference signal optics coupled to the measurement light signal between the measurement light signal source and the tissue-engaging surface for transmitting a reference light signal portion of the measurement light signal, a detector for generating electrical signals representative of the measurement light signals and the reference light signals, optical paths for coupling the measurement light signal from the receive fibers and the reference light signal portion from the reference signal optics to the detector, and an optical path control for selectively allowing either the measurement light signal portion or the reference light signal portion to the detector. The optical path control enables the detector to output a reference light sample value when the reference light signal portion is coupled to the detector, and to output a measurement light sample value when the measurement light signal portion is coupled to the detector.

Abstract: A measurement system and method for measuring a relative concentration of a first form of a chromophore having a first form and a second form. The method comprises irradiating a tissue sample with light at a plurality of wavelengths within a wavelength range within which the first and second forms of the chromophore provide an overlapping spectral response. A detector is provided that detects spectral data emitted from the tissue. Furthermore, the method comprises determining a first and a second 2d derivative spectrum value, at first and second wavelengths, respectively, within said wavelength range at which the first 2d derivative spectrum value varies with the relative concentration of the first form of the chromophore. A scaled, 2d derivative spectrum value is derived from the first and second 2d derivative spectrum values. A memory stores a correlation which provides the relative chromophore concentration as a function of the scaled, 2d derivative spectrum value. Finally, the relative concentration of the first form of the chromophore in the tissue sample is determined from the 2d derivative spectrum values and the correlation.
