A non-intrusive monitoring optical connection apparatus includes first and second fiber optic communication lines () arranged for light to pass therebetween. The first and second fiber optic communication lines () have first and second ferrules () at ends thereof, respectively. An optical element () is disposed between the fiber optic communication lines (). Most of the light passes between the fiber optic communication lines () and a small part of the light is harvested by the optical element () and detected by a photo detector ().

Non-intrusive monitoring optical connection apparatus

A piezoelectric motor including a rotor, a stator including a piezoelectric material having axial polarization, the stator including at least three pairs of electrodes spaced from one another on a top end face thereof and a common electrode on a base end face thereof, and slabs affixed to the stator at spacings between the electrodes, wherein the rotor is pressed towards the slabs by a pre-load force, wherein when a positive charge is applied to a first of the electrodes and a negative charge is applied to a second of the electrodes and an electric common port is applied to the common electrode, D33 piezoelectric phenomenon is created, thereby causing the spacings between the electrodes to bend and the slabs to tilt, thus applying a frictional pushing side force against the rotor to cause the rotor to rotate.

Stick-slip piezoelectric motor

A portable electrochemical power supply for handheld electronic devices, such as cellular telephones, is disclosed. The power supply includes a housing with an electrical connector, a circuit board, and a removable electrochemical cell disposed therein. The circuit board carries power supply circuitry which receives electrical energy from the electrochemical cell and provides a power supply output for powering an external device.

Charger

A stent including a plurality of loops, each of the loops includes an arcuately formed wire with a first end and a second end, the first end being attached to an inner elongate member and the second end being attached to an outer elongate member, the inner and the outer elongate members being arranged to slide with respect to each other along a common longitudinal axis, wherein sliding of the inner and the outer elongate members with respect to each other changes a cross-sectional area of each of the loops, characterized in that the inner and outer elongate members are attached to inner and outer coupler tubes, and are selectively releasable from the inner and outer coupler tubes, the inner coupler tube being nested inside the outer coupler tube.

Selectively expandable and releasable stent

Guidewire apparatus including a guidewire including a coil, a distal portion of the coil being coated with a flexible coating, the coating being thicker on one side of a perimeter of the distal portion than on an opposite side of the perimeter of the distal portion, a pull wire disposed inside the guidewire connected at a proximal end thereof to a first stop member and at a distal end thereof to a second stop member, and an actuator disposed on the guidewire adapted to move the pull wire proximally such that proximally-directed pulling on the distal portion of the coil bends the distal portion towards the opposite side of the perimeter of the distal portion.

Maneuverable-coiled guidewire

A uterine tissue collector including a cannula which has an aperture formed therein through which tissue material can be sucked into a lumen formed in the cannula, at least one guide wire attached to a distal portion of the cannula, wherein movement of the at least one guide wire flexes the distal portion of the cannula, and a suction device operative to suck tissue material into the lumen, characterized by the suction device comprising a syringe comprising a distal barrel which extends from a proximal barrel, the proximal barrel having a larger diameter than the distal barrel.

Uterine tissue collector

A stitching tool including a needle including an arcuate shank having an arcuate length extending from a needle point at one end thereof to another end, called a suture end, and wherein the needle is toothed along at least a portion of the length.

Stabilization apparatus (,) for a watercraft (,) having a hull (,), including at least one hydrofoil (,) with a leading edge (,) and a trailing edge (,), the edges defining a chord (,) extending therebetween, the at least one hydrofoil being mounted below an underside of the hull and arranged for rotation about an axis (,) that is generally perpendicular to the chord and directed towards the underside (,) of the hull, and control apparatus (,) that rotates the at least one hydrofoil about the axis in response to roll of the watercraft so as to stabilize the watercraft against the roll. Preferably the axis passes generally through the chord's center.
