Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, devices and systems are described that include a rapid-prototyped blood vessel sleeve that is custom-fitted for a blood vessel at least partly based on anatomical blood vessel data from an individual.
Abstract:
A pneumatically powered bone resector has a moveable cutting arm and a stationary foot against which the cutting arm homes to cut bone positioned therebetween, the cutting arm being hollow for receiving resected bone with a mechanical/pneumatic linkage connected to the cutting arm for driving the cutting arm and blowing the resected bone through the cutting arm and into a receiving bin, an electronically controlled pneumatic power supply for powering the linkage upon operation of a trigger, the trigger being operated by a surgeon.
Abstract:
Systems, devices, methods, and compositions are described for providing an actively controllable shunt configured to, for example, monitor, treat, or prevent an infection.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, devices and systems are described that include accepting one or more blood vessel sleeve dimensions based on blood vessel data from an individual; and making a rapid-prototyped blood vessel sleeve at least partly based on the one or more blood vessel sleeve dimensions.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, devices and systems are described that include accepting three-dimensional blood vessel data; applying a sleeve-fitting algorithm to the three-dimensional blood vessel data; and presenting a sleeve-fitting algorithm output in response to said applying the sleeve-fitting algorithm to the three-dimensional blood vessel data.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture provide for wireless communications of brain signals from electrode implants to an external receiver for analysis of the brain signals. The analyzed brain signals are used to locate abnormal brain activity in a subject, such as epileptic seizure foci, or to localize task-specific brain activity.
Abstract:
Embolic devices and materials include an expansible polymer, and magnetically responsive material that allow the embolic devices and materials to be guided into, and held within, vascular defects, while the expansible polymer expands. In some embodiments, the expansion of the expansible polymer reduces the density of the magnetic material, so that subsequent magnetic surgery and magnetic imaging procedures can still employed.
