A method of mounting a storage unit to a vehicular apparatus, such as a motorcycle, includes the step of securing a cantilevered mounting member having a mounting plate to the frame of the vehicular apparatus. A storage device can be connected to the mounting plate to stabilize the storage device as the vehicular apparatus is in motion. As a preferred embodiment, the method of mounting begins with the removal of a foot peg from a motorcycle to expose the foot peg mounting bracket to which the mounting member is affixed. The mounting plate of the mounting member can be used to secure articles to be transported by the vehicular apparatus with or without a separate storage device.

Novel catheter constructions comprising thin covering or wrapping materials such as polymer films. A catheter provided with a guidewire catheter lumen having a thin covering that is easily punctured by a guidewire at virtually any desired point along the catheter length. The thin covering may be integral with the catheter shaft, or may be a separate component that covers only the portion of the catheter shaft immediately adjacent the outer portion of the guidewire lumen, or may be a thin tubular construct that surrounds the entire catheter shaft. Moreover, polymer film can be used in combination with one or more elements to produce novel catheter constructions.

Catheter assembly

Storage unit mounting apparatus removably and lockably attachable to a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a single, cantilevered support member removably and irrotationally attachable at its proximal end to the vehicle, the distal end of the support member supporting a receiver having integral mounting means to which the storage unit is attachable. The apparatus is especially suited for vehicles such as motorcycles, all-terrain-vehicles (ATVs), bicycles and the like.

Puncturing tools that cause an aperture to be pierced through the wall of a guidewire lumen of a catheter shaft at a location at which it is desired to have a guidewire exit the guidewire lumen.

Catheter having a proximal section and a distal section. The proximal section having at least a delivery lumen and a guidewire receiving lumen, the guidewire receiving lumen having a proximal guidewire exit port at a location proximal of the distal end of the proximal section. A reinforcing tubular member located in the proximal section delivery lumen extending from substantially the proximal end of the proximal section to a point distal to the proximal guidewire exit port, wherein the reinforcing tubular member transitions from relatively rigid to relatively more flexible from a proximal point to a distal point thereon and has an outer diameter equal to about the inner diameter of the delivery lumen for at least a portion of the reinforcing tubular member that extends distal to the proximal guidewire exit port. The distal section having at least a delivery lumen and a guidewire receiving lumen.

A catheter balloon with integral non-distending regions having a plurality of layers which wind around the balloon material and overlap to form an angle of between 45 and 90 degrees relative to each other upon inflation, and methods of making the non-distending regions are provided.

The present invention is directed to a deployment system for an endoluminal device. The deployment system includes a confining sheath placed around a compacted endoluminal device. A deployment line is provided in the system that is an integral extension of the sheath. As the deployment line is actuated, the sheath retracts from around the compacted endoluminal device. As the sheath retracts from around the endoluminal device, material from the sheath may be converted into deployment line. Once the sheath is retracted from around the compacted endoluminal device, the endoluminal device expands in configuration and repairs vascular or cardiac structures of an implant recipient. Any remaining sheath material is removed from the implantation site along with the deployment line. The deployment system also includes an endo-prosthesis mounting member placed between the endoluminal device and an underlying catheter. The endo-prosthesis mounting member serves to cushion and retain the endoluminal device when constrained by the sheath and may assist in expansion of the endoluminal device when unconstrained by the sheath.

A messaging system having a network interface unit (NIU) with an embedded services processor (ESP) that provides a general purpose computing capability within the NIU that supports the streaming of data for the messaging system with external computer networks, and that may also have the ability to connect to networks external to the messaging system via that general purpose computing capability is disclosed.

A second computer accesses voice messaging system data residing on a first computer. The second computer receives a log record range selection from a user interface, creates a log record selection file based on the log record selection, and sends the file to the first computer. The second computer reads a log record file that is received by the second computer in response to sending the file to the first computer. The second computer extracts a log record, receives a log record selection from the user interface, and determines a voice message identification corresponding to the selected log record. The second computer creates a voice message selection file and sends the file to the first computer. The second computer reads a voice message file that is received by the second computer in response to sending the file to the first computer, and extracts a voice message from the file.
