Ultrasound catheter devices and methods provide enhanced disruption of blood vessel obstructions. Generally, an ultrasound catheter includes an elongate flexible catheter body with one or more lumens. An ultrasound transmission member or wire extends longitudinally through the catheter body lumen and, in many embodiments, a guide wire tube also extends through the same lumen. A distal head is fixed to or otherwise mechanically coupled with the distal end of the ultrasound transmission member or wire and is positioned adjacent the distal end of the catheter body. Although the distal end of the catheter body overlaps the distal head, the distal head is not directly affixed to the distal end of the catheter body. Thus, the distal tip may move freely, relative to the distal end of the catheter body when ultrasonic energy is applied through the ultrasound transmission member. Such a freely floating distal head enhances the efficiency of an ultrasound catheter, enabling the catheter to ablate calcific occlusions and increasing the useful life of the ultrasound transmission member and catheter.

An indoor air quality module includes an ultraviolet light source located between two titanium dioxide coated honeycombs. When photons of ultraviolet light are absorbed by the titanium dioxide coating, reactive hydroxyl radicals are formed that attack and oxidize contaminants in the air to water, carbon dioxide, and other substances. A shield is positioned outside each of the honeycombs to minimize the direct leakage of ultraviolet light from the module. The height of each shield depends on the distance between each shield and the ultraviolet light source and the maximum angle that ultraviolet light can pass through the honeycomb without any reflection on the surface of the honeycomb. Any ultraviolet light that directly leaks from the honeycomb contacts the shield and reflects towards honeycomb, minimizing the direct leakage of ultraviolet light from the module and increasing the photocatalytic rate of the contaminants.

A camouflage system to be used for both military uniforms and equipment. The system includes specialized means of printing the camouflage system unto fabric. The system can also be used for civilian applications, particularly with sportsman hunters. The system provides camouflage in both the human visible light range and the infrared. The system depends on the use of a macro-pattern resulting from a repeat of a micro-pattern. When applied to fabric, a polyamide-cotton fiber blend has a macro pattern resulting from a repeat of a micro pattern printed on at least one surface. The coloring system used comprises at least four colorings from dyes that in combination produce a percent reflectance value comparable to the negative space of the surroundings near the camouflaged subject.

The relative lightness values and percentages of total pattern are sufficient to produce a percent reflectance of acceptable colors, wet or dry in terms of lightness values compared to current military four-color camouflage. On fabric, the results are achieved by printing A macro pattern that disrupts the sensed shape and a micro pattern with a repeat size that produces the macro pattern. The reflectance of the material is comparable to the negative space surrounding a subject so the subject does not appear too dark or too light (out of place). The variation in the lightness between wet and dry is not greater than 17-28%, achieved during the printing process.
