A catheter is disclosed comprising a catheter shaft including a proximal end and a distal end. A flexible framework can be connected to the distal end of the catheter shaft, wherein the flexible framework includes a plurality of heating electrodes and a temperature sensor. The plurality of heating electrodes can be configured to be heated to a first temperature, the first temperature being lower than which radio frequency ablation is performed. The plurality of heating electrodes can be configured to be heated to a second temperature, the second temperature being a temperature at which radio frequency ablation is performed.

Thermal mapping catheter

A catheter configured to deliver therapeutic energy to a tissue is disclosed. The catheter comprises an elongate shaft extending along a shaft longitudinal axis. The catheter further comprises a flexible tip assembly coupled to a distal end of the elongate shaft, the flexible tip assembly comprising at least three mapping electrodes equally spaced about a circumference of the flexible tip, a flexible ablation electrode, and a plurality of irrigation ports. The catheter further comprises an irrigation lumen extending through the elongate shaft and into an interior of the flexible tip assembly, wherein the irrigation lumen is configured to direct irrigation fluid to the plurality of irrigation ports.

Ablation catheter with electrodes

A catheter configured to deliver therapeutic energy to a tissue can include can include an elongate shaft extending along a shaft longitudinal axis and comprising a shaft proximal end and a shaft distal end. The catheter can include a flexible tip assembly comprising a tip assembly outer surface, wherein the flexible tip assembly is connected to the shaft distal end and is configured to deliver therapeutic energy to the tissue, and wherein the flexible tip assembly further includes. The flexible tip assembly can include an insulative layer comprising an insulative layer outer surface, wherein the insulative layer is disposed on the tip assembly outer surface and a mapping electrode disposed on the insulative layer outer surface.

A fluid delivery catheter configured to allow optimal fluid distribution through each electrode by varying the diameter of a catheter lumen is disclosed. Uniform or different fluid flow rates through longitudinally spaced apart elution holes may be achieved. Exemplary fluids for use with the catheter include a cooling fluid, a therapeutic fluid, and a medication.

Irrigated catheter

A platform for visualization of traffic information at an observed roadway or traffic intersection converts data collected from sensors for rendering as dynamic animations on a virtual map of the observed roadway or traffic intersection. The platform parses and curates incoming sensor data from either a single or multiple sensors representing one or more objects at the observed roadway or traffic intersection, and translates at least location data of each object for correlation of the object's movement relative to the observed roadway or traffic intersection. The platform then generates dynamic animations of the movement of each object and displays the animations as an overlay on the virtual map.

In one embodiment, an irrigated catheter ablation apparatus comprises an elongated body having a distal end, a proximal end, and at least one fluid lumen extending longitudinally therein; and a plurality of segmented ablation electrodes on a distal portion of the elongated body. The electrodes are spaced from the proximal end and from the distal end of the elongated body by electrically nonconductive segments. The electrodes are spaced from each other longitudinally by electrically nonconductive segments. For each electrode that is longitudinally disposed next to one of the nonconductive segments, an edge is formed between an electrode end of the electrode and a nonconductive segment end of the nonconductive segment. A plurality of elution holes are disposed adjacent to the edges. A plurality of ducts establish fluid communication between the elution holes and the fluid lumen.

Irrigated ablation catheter with multiple segmented ablation electrodes

A flexible tip electrode for an ablation catheter is disclosed. The catheter includes a catheter body and a hollow elongate tip electrode disposed at a distal end of the catheter body. The electrode includes a sidewall provided with one or more elongate gaps extending therethrough. The one or more elongate gaps providing flexibility in the sidewall for bending movement of the tip electrode relative to a longitudinal axis of the catheter body.

Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed that enable a data intake and query system to generate and cause display of circular timelines of timestamped event data. As used herein, a circular timeline generally refers to a graphical display of timestamped events stored by a data intake and query system, wherein the timestamped events may be displayed as arcs of one or more concentric circles and located in a circular timeline area according to a chronological ordering associated with the events. One or more display attributes of each arc may further depend on other data associated with the corresponding events. For example, each arc of a circular time may be displayed at a particular radial distance, with a particular thickness, using a particular shading and/or color, etc., depending on various data values associated with the one or more events represented by the arc.

Timeline displays of event data with start and end times

In one example, a method managing data includes transmitting backup format information to a storage platform, breaking data targeted for backup into data pieces, computing a unique fingerprint for each of the data pieces, and transmitting metadata concerning the data pieces to the storage platform, where the metadata includes the fingerprints. The method further includes receiving from the storage platform a list of any new fingerprints that do not correspond to any of the data pieces, and grouping data pieces together to form a jumbo data piece, where the data pieces that form the jumbo data piece are data pieces to which the new fingerprints correspond.
