The present invention relates to an improved intravascular catheter. The intravascular catheter involves the use of a progressively compliant tip at the distal end of the catheter body. This progressively compliant tip utilizes an endmost tubular member having a first softness and an intermediate tubular member having a second softness. The low temperature thermoplastic overcoat on the catheter body has a third softness which is significantly lower than the first and second degrees of softness exhibited by the other tubular members. The endmost member, intermediate member and thermoplastic overcoat are joined together by heat formed, blended tubular regions, each having respective incrementally increasing intermediate softness characteristics over predetermined lengths thereof. The incrementally increasing intermediate softness characteristic of these blended regions is formed by heated diffusion of the endmost member with the intermediate member, and further by the heated diffusion of the intermediate tubular member with the polymer overcoat. Accordingly ,the softness and hence the compliancy of the distal end region of the catheter tip changes from the distal end of the tip (very soft) to the first blended tubular region (high-medium degree of softness), to the intermediate tubular member (medium degree of softness), to the further blended tubular region (medium-low degree of softness), and ultimately to the thermoplastic overcoat (low degree of softness).

The implantable, electrically operated medical device system comprises an implanted radio frequency (RF) receiving unit (receiver) incorporating a back-up rechargeable power supply and an implanted, electrically operated device, and an external RF transmitting unit (transmitter). RF energy is transmitted by the transmitter and is coupled into the receiver which is used to power the implanted medical device and/or recharge the back-up power supply. The back-up power supply within the receiver has enough capacity to be able to, by itself, power the implanted device coupled to the receiver for at least 24 hours during continual delivery of medical therapy. The receiver is surgically implanted within the patient and the transmitter is worn externally by the patient. The transmitter can be powered by either a rechargeable or non-rechargeable battery. In a first mode of operation, the transmitter will supply power, via RF coupled energy, to operate the receiver and simultaneously recharge the back-up power supply.

The physical condition of a subject is tested by a transducer mounted on the subject which derives a first signal indicative of heart activity. An electronic instrument housing carried by the subject includes terminals responsive to the first signal and (a) an inertial member for monitoring the quantity of repetitive actions taken by a limb of the subject and for deriving a second signal indicative of the quantity, (b) a keyboard for enabling signals to be derived indicative of numerical quantities associated with plural physiological parameters of the subject, (c) a clock source for deriving timing signals, (d) a digital computer responsive to the first, second, timing and keyboard signals for deriving plural digital output signals indicative of different physical activities of the tested subject, (e) a visual digital indicator, (f) plural key switches, each associated with a different one of the physical activities, and (g) circuitry responsive to activation of the plural key switches for selectively coupling different ones of the plural output signals to the visual indicator so only one of the output signals is supplied to the indicator at a time.

The method for making a reinforced balloon for a balloon catheter involves blending a polymer with a nano composite to form a composite matrix, extruding a parison from the composite matrix, blow molding the parison into a balloon and orienting the nano composite generally axially with respect to the balloon. The balloon formed has a high strength for resisting bursting. The nano composite may be carbon nanotubes, nano-ceramic fibers or a nano clay.

Pests, such as fleas and ticks, are repelled from domestic animals, such as dogs and cats, by attaching an ultrasonic compressional wave energy source to the animal in such a position that a beam of the compressional wave energy is directed downwardly toward a surface on which the animal is located. Energy in the beam is reflected from the surface back to the animal. The energy has sufficient intensity, as reflected back to and incident on the animal, to repel the pests. The energy is pulsed on and off at a relatively low duty cycle at a rate above a predetermined minimum, such that during each pulse the envelope amplitude varies.
