439 61, 439 74, 439631, 361784
Abstract:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for interconnection system. A first front connector is located at a side of a first front card to provide first contacts for first signal traces on the first front card. A second front connector located at a side of a second front card to provide second contacts for second signal traces on the second front card. A mating connector has first and second receptacles and is located alongside of a rear card. The mating connector electrically connects the first contacts of the first signal traces to the second contacts of the second signal traces via contacts in the first and second receptacles. The first and second receptacles couple to the first and second front connectors, respectively. The rear card is positioned in a substantially orthogonal direction to the first and second front cards.

Assignee:
BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC. - Maple Grove MN
International Classification:
A61M 25/16
US Classification:
604528
Abstract:
A locking mechanism for a medical device to selective lock a first elongate member from longitudinal movement relative to a second elongate member of the medical device. The locking mechanism includes a flexible tubular member disposed in a bore of a handle assembly of the medical device, and an actuator, such as a cam member having a cam or eccentric surface. Pivotable movement of the actuator from a first position to a second position compresses or deforms the flexible tubular member against the first elongate member to lock the first elongate member from longitudinal movement relative to the handle assembly.
