Some embodiments include apparatus, systems, and methods having a base, a first die, a second arranged in a stacked with the first die and the base, and a structure located in the stack and outside at least one of the first and second dice and configured to transfer signals between the base and at least one of the first and second dice.

An introducer sheath includes an inner liner having a passageway extending longitudinally therethrough, a coil positioned over the inner liner, and an outer jacket positioned over the liner and the coil. The outer jacket is bonded to the inner liner between the coil turns. The coil turns have a cross-section comprising opposing end portions, and a center portion disposed between the opposing end portions. The center portion has a thickness not exceeding about one-third of a thickness of the end portions for reducing a bending modulus of the coil, and the end portions have a generally curved outer surface. At least a distal end portion of the outer jacket has a durometer between about 70 and 90 on the Shore D scale.

A lumber check grader-actuatable interface enables a check grader to interact with grade-quality measured boards of lumber conveyed along a flow path and passing in front of the check grader. The interface accurately and continuously tracks the location of each board in front of a check grader and tracks the location of the check grader's hands relative to the boards. Gestures can, therefore, be used for a selected board to perform additional actions, such as changing the grade or changing the trims. The interface enables a check grader to walk alongside and keep pace with a board of interest as it is transported and to provide feedback to the interface about a needed change for the board of interest. By knowing which board is of interest to a check grader, the interface can display additional information for only that board without overwhelming the check grader with non-stop information overload.

A dilator () for creating tracheostomies in one pass. Dilator () includes a generally linear shaft () extending from a proximal end () and beginning at a distance therefrom, gradually and continuously through a curved distal portion () of continuously decreasing diameter (from about 38 french) to a distal tip portion () of small diameter of about 12 french at distal end (). The outer surface of the insertable portion is treated or hydrophilically coated to minimize friction, and the gradual taper gradually widens the tracheal entrance opening () between tracheal rings () with minimal trauma. The wall thickness gradually decreases from the linear shaft () to the soft distal tip portion (). The continuing curve of the distal portion () enables the increasingly longer inserted portion of the dilator to remain situated in the trachea () during insertion and for the distal tip portion to clear the posterior tracheal wall.

An integrally formed angioplasty cutting device for balloon angioplasty of a stenotic lesion in a body vessel. The device comprises a distal collar and a proximal collar. The device further comprises at least one strut integrally formed with the distal collar and the proximal collar. At least one of the collars has a slot formed therethrough defining a C-shaped configuration. The strut is configured to be disposed at the stenotic lesion to engage the stenotic lesion for dilatation of the body vessel during angioplasty.

A feeding device configured for insertion into the gastrointestinal tract of a patient, and dynamic movement through the gastrointestinal tract toward the jejunum. The device includes an elongate tubular member having a plurality of distal projections disposed on an exterior surface thereof. The projections extend radially outwardly from the exterior surface of the tubular member a distance sufficient to engage an interior surface of the gastrointestinal tract during peristaltic contractions therein, and are configured to promote ingress of the device in response to the contractions. At least some of the projections are soluble under bodily conditions at the gastrointestinal tract, thereby facilitating removal of the feeding device.

A dilator ( ) for creating tracheostomies in one pass. Dilator ( ) includes a generally linear shaft ( ) extending from a proximal end ( ) and beginning at a distance therefrom, gradually and continuously through a curved distal portion ( ) of continuously decreasing diameter (from about 38 french) to a distal tip portion ( ) of small diameter of about 12 french at distal end ( ). The outer surface of the insertable portion is treated or hydrophilically coated to minimize friction, and the gradual taper gradually widens the tracheal entrance opening ( ) between tracheal rings ( ) with minimal trauma. The wall thickness gradually decreases from the linear shaft ( ) to the soft distal tip portion ( ). The continuing curve of the distal portion ( ) enables the increasingly longer inserted portion of the dilator to remain situated in the trachea ( ) during insertion and for the distal tip portion to clear the posterior tracheal wall.

An apparatus for reading information marks comprising a strobe light activating or reflecting information marks manually placed on objects or wood products. A camera is used for reading the marks. One or more detectors are used to recognize marks and color. A central processing unit is used to process, solve and interpret character and color recognition. A photo-electric eye or a signal from a control device is used to time the strobe and detector. The information contained in the marks is fed directly to the control system and may be used to generate reports.
