A system for catheter-based aspiration includes an aspiration catheter having a distal portion configured for insertion within a blood vessel of a subject, the aspiration catheter including an aspiration lumen having a distal opening at the distal portion of the aspiration catheter, an injection lumen having a distal end at the distal portion of the aspiration catheter, and an orifice located at or near the distal end of the injection lumen, the orifice configured to direct liquid into the aspiration lumen at or near the distal opening of the aspiration lumen; an injector configured to pressurize the liquid within the injection lumen, such that liquid exits the orifice and enters the aspiration lumen; and a mechanical oscillator coupled to the injector and configured to cause a pulsatile pressure of the liquid as it is injected through the injection lumen.

Systems and methods for injection and aspiration

A system for aspiration includes an aspiration catheter including an elongate shaft including an aspiration lumen, and an open distal end, an extension tube, the lumen of the extension tube configured to be hydraulically coupled to the aspiration lumen, a peristaltic pump configured for driving fluid through the extension tube, a compressible portion disposed between the distal end and the proximal end of the extension tube, the compressible portion configured to be coupled to the peristaltic pump, such that operation of the peristaltic pump drives fluid from the aspiration lumen from the distal end of the extension tube to the proximal end of the extension tube, and a controller configured to receive a first signal from the first sensor and configured to vary the operation of the peristaltic pump based at least in part on a first signal received from a first sensor coupled to the aspiration lumen or extension tube related to a change in the characteristic of flow.

Systems and methods for aspiration and monitoring

An apparatus that is comprised of a controller, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a temperature sensor, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The controller to reads temperature data proportional to a temperature of the VCO, reads previously-calculated calibration data based on the read temperature data, determines a frequency command signal based on the read previously-calculated calibration data, and outputs the frequency command signal. The DAC converts the frequency command signal into a frequency analog signal. The temperature sensor produces the temperature signal. The ADC converts the temperature signal into the temperature data. The VCO produces an output frequency based on the frequency analog signal.

A test systemthat can accept a plurality of plug-in electronic cards in Xi Slotsor PXI slotsis described. The test or source measure switching systemincludes a sequencer or sequence enginewhich is fully capable of executing opcode instructions having potentially indefinite completion times and monitoring multiple asynchronous inputs simultaneously without interrupts. The sequenceris sequential and deterministic to approximately 10 microsecond resolution. The sequencerincludes a trigger router which can be a fully configurable trigger input and trigger output routing matrix. Every trigger input can be configured via several detection modes such as active high, active low, level high and level low. Also, trigger outputs can be configured to be triggered on single, multiple or auto triggers if set.

A thermal interface device () includes a base member () and a pocket () which is filled with a thermally conductive material or medium such as diamond dust suspended in a solvent such as propylene glycol or a thermally conductive material such as thermally conductive rubber. The pocket () is hermitically sealed to the base member () in order to keep the thermally conductive material within the pocket. The filled pocket () forms a deformable 'pillow' having a high thermal conductance. The deformable pocket () can contour to the shape of a device it is pressed against such as an electronic device undergoing testing.

A switch matrix module () includes programmable stub breakers (--) which can break off the bus and isolate unused portion of the switch matrix. Using three-way stub breakers (--) at the matrix front-ends that can either completely isolate a middle matrix or cut off stubs left or right of the destination and source matrices, allows for the formation of very large matrices which have improved operational performance.

A test systemthat can accept a plurality of plug-in electronic cards in Xi Slotsor PXI slotsis described. The test or source measure switching systemincludes a sequencer or sequence enginewhich is fully capable of executing opcode instructions having potentially indefinite completion times and monitoring multiple asynchronous inputs simultaneously without interrupts. The sequenceris sequential and deterministic to approximately ten microsecond resolution.

A thermal system () includes a main pump () which pumps refrigerant to a device under test evaporator cluster (). A system condenser () converts the gaseous refrigerant into liquid and the condenser liquid return is provided to a vapor/liquid separation and storage column (). The thermal system () further includes a sump vaporizer () which forms part of a sump discharge line loop.

A switch matrix assembly provides for excellent frequency performance while maintaining good isolation, insertion loss, and crosstalk performance. The switch matrix assembly can include an internal bus connector card that helps eliminate or reduce stubs on a matrix star card that is part of the switch matrix. A stack bus connector card can be added in order to allow for identical busbars on other matrix star cards to be connected 'stubless.' The switch matrix can also include bus stub isolator card(s) in order for busbar stubs to be broken-off reasonably close to final termination points. The stackable design of the switch matrix assembly allows for a fairly dense design which helps save space, improves serviceability, and improves overall switching performance.
