SRAM's new PG-1170 Cassette was built to give you smooth, quiet, and accurate shifting across all 11 of its cogs. The cassette was engineered to seamlessly pair with SRAM's new Force 22 group, and it includes the addition of a 16T cog neatly tucked into the cassette's profile. This 16T is now the linking cog that delivers better cadence control and smoother shifting as you hover within the middle block of the 11-speed cassette.
The PG-1170 Cassette was constructed using SRAM's semi-spidered design to provide you with a cassette that's both stiff and exceptionally lightweight. Each cog was made from heat-treated steel, which results in a durable cluster that runs near silent and maintains exceptional mud-clearing capabilities.
SRAM incorporated its X-Glide shifting technology, which shapes the teeth and cogs to provide the ultimate in quick, positive shifting. Compared to its Powerglide cassettes, this goes just a notch above. The difference is how quickly the teeth pick up the chain on the downshifts. All of the cogs, save for the largest alloy cog, are cut as short as possible to eliminate flex between the teeth and the point where they're riveted to their next largest neighbor.
SRAM improved exactly where it needed, and the new SRAM Force 22 PG-1170 Cassette is a true upgrade to its previous PG-1070 while still remaining faithful to the SRAM Force pedigree. For smooth and flawless shifting across SRAM's machined X-Glide cassette teeth, SRAM recommends using its PC-1170 Chain. The cassette also includes an anodized, laser-etched aluminum lockring. Please note that the PG-1170 Cassette will only fit 11-speed compatible hub/freehub bodies.
The 11/25 includes: 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,23,25 The 11/26 includes: 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,23,26 The 11/28 includes: 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,19,22,25,28

Hi is this compatible with Shimano Ultegra 6800 11 speed groupo? IE chain, derailleur
Mike Nelson
Hi Phil,
Anecdotally, all the 11-speed road cassettes are interchangable. Shimano, Campy, and SRAM cassettes all function with the competition's deraileurs and chains. But why not get the cassette that was designed to work with the drivetrain you have? Its in stock here:
Thanks Mike, reason i ask is I have a Sram 11 speed equipped bike and Shimano 11 speed bike, tired of changing the cassettes all the time when I want to use a shared wheel set :D
But yes will check out your link

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I run this cassette on a cyclocross setup for long mixed surface rides with lots of climbing. The cassette gives me a wide range of gears to choose from and the 32 is a lifesaver on some of the bigger climbs here in the Wasatch. Shifting is smooth up and down and it runs quiet paired with a SRAM chain. The jump between 28 and 32 can take a little getting used to, but it is not a detractor at all and people riding other wide range cassettes or 1x drivetrains won't even notice.
WiFLi 11-32 cassette option:
11-32: 11,12,13,14,15,17,19,22,25,28,32
Weight: 300g

Frank Lewis
PDT Staff Writer
Rep. Brad Wenstrup (OH-02) has come out in support of the House Budget Resolution (FY14).
"Today, Republicans passed a plan to cut spending and balance our budget in ten years. It would also repeal ObamaCare, reform our broken tax code, increase energy exploration and strengthen our entitlement programs, all without raising taxes. This budget will put the economy back on the path to recovery and create jobs," Wenstrup said. "I believe we can and should act even more quickly, and supported the Republican Study Committee (RSC) alternative budget, which was offered as an amendment. This alternative plan would balance the budget in just four years. That plan did not pass."
Wenstrup said the House Republican budget, "advances the kinds of common sense cuts and spending reforms that must be made to preserve the American dream for future generations. I was pleased to support it, and move us forward on the critical goals of stopping reckless spending, addressing our debt, and balancing our budget."
Wenstrup said, in contrast, the Senate Democrats' budget "continues tired Washington tax-and-spend policies by raising taxes to the tune of $1.5 trillion and never balancing – ever. We still have not seen the president's budget, which is late for the fourth time in five years."
Wenstrup went on to say, "We cannot continue to borrow and spend at the expense of our children and grandchildren. We are stealing from the future, and failing to live up to our responsibility to pass along to the next generation an America that is stronger and more prosperous than the America that was bestowed to us. House Republicans are leading. We are serious about tackling these urgent problems. It is time for the president and Senate Democrats to join us."

Rated 3 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 3 out of 5�by HollyJ Runs large, but soft feel I ordered this online and was disappointed the size XS fits more like a small/medium. I'm 95 lbs, 32B, but it just doesn't fit right. It just drapes against the waist and hips, not snug like on the model. The only plus is the soft material and pretty crystals, but the little stretch it has is pointless since it runs 1-2 sizes too large. October 10, 2013

The first Chrome 10 Dev Channel build bundles two HTML5 games: Poppit and Entanglement. The two games are added to the new tab page even if you've previously installed other apps.
Some users will probably be surprised to see two games they didn't install, so Google should inform users that the games were automatically installed. Chrome's source code makes it clear that Poppit and Entanglement are installed for all operating systems, except for Chrome OS. Probably a better idea would be to recommend some apps based on the browsing history.

I am one of these people who have no body hair, except on my head. I have never shaved my legs or pits..there is simply no hair there. Yeah, yeah....all ye girls want to smother me with a pillow.
Ha ha it does seem that there's always a hair that gets missed,( then grows to monster mutant proportions) whether on your ankle or on your armpit. Especially when it's morning and your eyes are barely open!!!
Well then, dang. I'm all feeling like I'm Sasquatch. I shave my legs every other day because I don't like the feel of stubble, but you can't see it well with the naked eye. I'm pretty fair when it comes to hair and I'm not all that hirsute. Pits? It's slow-growing there. I guess I shave every week, maybe every 6 days.
And no, I don't get renegade hairs.
When that renegade appears I am totally WTH? (and secretly wishing for a giraffe neck so I can check myself more *ahem* thoroughly)
Lol I wish I could sell this condition...maybe clone some skin or something....then sell it to beauty manufacture companies...hmmmmmmmmm....then I will move to Florida and cook fantastic meals for Spidey.

Harwood Union students, in response to the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that struck Sendai, Japan, created over 1,500 paper cranes as part of a global student response to the disaster.
Following the devastation, Students Rebuild partnered with DoSomething.org to ensure students worldwide have a way to support their Japanese peers. Cranes are sacred creatures in Japanese culture. According to legend anyone who folds 1,000 paper cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. Once organizers reach the goal of 100,000 submissions, the cranes will be woven into an art installation -- a symbolic gift from students around the globe to Japanese youth. These simple yet powerful gestures will trigger a $200,000 donation from the Bezos Family Foundation -- $2 for each crane received – to Architecture for Humanity's reconstruction efforts in Japan.
At Harwood, Ms. Gretchen Stahl was notified of the effort of Student Rebuild by the Asian Studies Department at UVM because of her experience as a teacher in the Asian Studies Outreach Program (ASOP). Students in her English classes originally set a goal of 100 cranes but by midweek wanted to go for 1,000 cranes. Stahl shared the ASOP idea with Connie Lisle who invited her geometry students to participate, and soon other students in other classes were making cranes to contribute.
In one week, Harwood students made 1,584 cranes ranging in size from 1 foot long to 10 millimeters which were delivered to the Asian Studies office at UVM last Friday afternoon, April 7.

This is not something to cheer about.
Former NFL cheerleader Elizabeth Garner has been charged with aggravated sexual battery for allegedly grabbing a 12-year-old boy's penis outside of his pants and trying to perform oral sex on him, according to TMZ.
Elizabeth — who is 42 and cheered for the Tennessee Titans until 2009 — is also being charged with solicitation of a minor for rape of a child.
Law enforcement sources say that the married Elizabeth followed the boy to a party last month at his mother's home.
In the bathroom, she allegedly grabbed his penis over his shorts and then tried to take them off in order to perform oral sex on him.
The boy managed to get away and told his mother, who then informed the authorities.
Police say Elizabeth asked the boy if he'd ever been with a woman.
Police also claim that Elizabeth admits to having approached the boy but says she was drunk and had apparently confused him for an adult man who was at the party. Uh, okay.
The former cheerleader was booked on $30,000 bond and faces more than eight years in prison if she's convicted.
Talk about a sad story.

The music of Andrew Lloyd Webber is simply unbeatable for hummable tunes, and the Singers of Summerville spring concert will be absolutely full of them. On Saturday, March 23 at 7:30 PM, the Singers will present "Absolutely Andrew!" at Summerville Baptist Church, 417 Central Avenue in Summerville. Tickets for the evening are ten dollars for adults, five for students, and will be available at the door.
The Singers' performance will feature Broadway medleys from Lloyd Webber's most celebrated musicals, including the hauntingly romantic "Phantom of the Opera," the wildly entertaining "Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," and the intriguingly avant-garde "Cats."
Andrew Lloyd Webber's illustrious career has spanned over forty years, and has garnered tremendous critical acclaim, including Tonys, Oscars and Grammys. He is widely considered the most successful composer of our time. The Singers will showcase the broad range of styles characteristic of Lloyd Webber's work, from classical to rock, pop, Latin and jazz.
Under the direction of Valerie Bullock, Professor and Chair of the Horton School of Music Charleston University, the Singers of Summerville have earned a growing reputation for bringing together experienced local musicians with a passion for the best in choral music. The group has performed at numerous venues, including the annual Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston.

Excellent Product!
Mito Fuel by DaVinci Labs is great. I have been suffering from chronic fatigue malaise due to hormonal imbalance. My doctor recommended I take Mito Fuel to give me some energy first thing in the morning. It has worked wonderfully and I feel so much better. I definitely recommend Mito Fuel to anyone who needs that boost to get out of best in the morning.
Works great! It can be taken with breakfast. Easy to mix, no equipment needed.
A bit pricey but worth it
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

I felt this way after my second baby. By the time I had my third it felt like it was old hat and it didn't bother me as much. Now with my 4th I'm beginning to feel it again. I think it's because I honestly felt I was going to make it further than I did and because my other kids didn't have to come home on oxygen. I have a baby at home and yet I can't leave the house for anything. I have to stay in the same room all day so I can hear the monitors and I never sleep because I'm always changing, feeding, pumping, being awakened by beeping. With each day I can feel myself getting more and more depressed. Where's the joy of the baby coming home? I can't even have anyone come visit me or to see the baby for fear she'll get sick, which she already did after coming home. Everyone just assumes that I'm fine and happy because the baby is home and I've done this all before. I, however, feel like I'm loosing it.

It was nearing midnight on a Friday night in Summerside, PEI when we unveiled the newest Goldline product to take the curling world by storm.
Kevin Martin had a draw to the button in an extra end to win his game and to qualify for the playoffs at the Players Championship. But there was something else on the line: a Goldline photo shoot. We knew it could go one of two ways depending on whether Kevin won or lost: whether or not all of our planning paid off came down to his final shot.
The crowd, in dead silence as Kevin lined up and then released his rock, roared as the rock slid down the ice and into the house for the win! Our fantastic photographer, Anil Mungal, immediately sprang into action to setup his cameras and lighting. We had helmets, skates, and a referee's jersey ready for Kevin to slip on at the end of the sheet. He had another game first thing the next morning and timing was tight!!
Kevin's Third, Johnny Mo, was quickly thrown some gear. We thought the cheer was loud when Kevin made his shot, but the crowd really went wild when John slipped on his Maple Leafs jersey! Cameras were flashing already.
The final member of our shoot, Chelsea Carey, rushed onto the ice in her Winnipeg Jets jersey and was in position in no time! Watch out Jets – you might have a new forward in town…
The fans all stayed late even though games were all over, and the top curlers came back out from the change rooms to see what was going on. What was the buzz all about?
Kevin Martin came out looking like Kerry Fraser himself. Our 'ref' jumped out on the Slam ice with his skates and gave us a little twirl. Johnny and Chelsea rushed into position and we were ready to shoot as they took their stance in the faceoff circle, holding what is now one of the most sought out new products in the curling industry: the official NHL curling brush.
What a night it was! Johnny, a hardcore Leafs fan, and Chelsea, born and raised a Winnipeg Jets' fan, couldn't have had more fun! Kevin managed to hold up the 42 pound "puck" just long enough to get some incredible shots to help promote something he is really excited about.
We are pleased to announce the NHL Series from Goldline Curling. This exciting new lineup of curling brushes features light weight 1 1/8" composite handles, and designs showing off any one of your favourite Canadian NHL teams. Current design options are:
- Calgary Flames
- Edmonton Oilers
- Montreal Canadians
- Ottawa Senators
- Toronto Maple Leafs
- Winnipeg Jets
- Vancouver Canucks
These initial designs will be available starting in November, with additional team designs coming soon!

Not everybody has a more than a half-century old dessert on their dining room table. Well, not exactly dessert. But I guess it could be called that as it was the cake served 56 years ago tomorrow as the finale at our wedding reception. I can't believe it myself, but I still have the top layer. For 11 months of the year it decorates a bedroom dresser. But in July it reigns supreme in our dining room.
Unaccountably it has survived under a glass dome. When I ordered that four-layer delight, the lady who baked it joked that the dome should preserve it "at least until the honeymoon is over." Many of my friends had frozen some wedding cake to be eaten on their first anniversary. But somehow that didn't appeal to me as I was charmed by the idea of actually being able to look at it for a time. I just didn't dream I was going to be able to look at it intact for at least the next 672 months!
Well not exactly intact. The cake was originally cream colored with delicate pink icing flowers surrounding a pair of snuggling wedding bells that topped the fourth layer. Over the years – like the bride and groom – it has aged somewhat around the edges. Those edges are now caramel colored and a couple of petals have drooped a bit, but it still represents one of the happiest days of my life.
Here I was I was marrying a brand new Air Force 2nd Lieutenant and I knew we would be moving around a lot. It turned out to be 22 times in 25 years. That cake has seen a lot of dining rooms. It didn't travel everywhere with us. It took a couple of "field trips" to my mom's house when we had to put our furniture in storage and when we spent four years in England. But I insisted on carrying it on my lap on many a road trip to a new Air Force assignment.
Not everyone is so enamored of this memento. I've had to endure annual jibes from friends and family – mostly the male contingent. We females are generally a lot more romantic and sentimental. And more tolerant of the idea of pampering a mere mixture of flour, eggs, shortening and sugar. The teasers have beleaguered me with such comments as: "I want a piece with a bell on it." Or, can I have ice cream with mine? And almost always, "Don't you think we'll need a hacksaw to cut into it after so many years?"
I just ignore them. Whenever I dust the dome or shine the glass, I remember the day we ate that first piece. It's a ritual I so enjoy when it makes its annual trek into the dining room. We have another ritual with our wedding album. We page through it annually and sigh at how young we looked in those black and white photos.
But that cake is just so special to me. I've determined it will be with us as long as it lasts as a reminder of July 13, 1957. So, I take care of it the best way I can. Maybe that's also a reason why my groom has lasted so long.
Happy Anniversary honey! Piece of cake?

4 Pirelli P7 Cinturato Run Flats came standard on my 2014 BMW 328i Luxury Line. Those combined with the car make for excellent handling and comfort. My only con is road noise. I have not compared them to any other brand yet, but Michelin is a bit quieter. You can't go wrong with Pirelli though. Live in Miami (never snows), and the wet conditions are cake for these tires. Ride is smooth. Run flats give me peace of mind and apart from the road noise which isn't that bad, these tires have exceeded my expectations and are much superior to Dunlops, Bridgestones, and Firestones and the cheap Jap brands which are all behind the Europeans.

Goose Creek's Tramel Terry named Mr. Football
MYRTLE BEACH — Tramel Terry was named Mr. Football on Friday night during the North-South Banquet at Myrtle Beach High School.
Terry, Goose Creek's talented running back/wide receiver, became only the second Lowcountry player to win the award since its inception in 1995. The only other local player to win the coveted award was Moe Thompson of Stratford. The defensive end was named Mr. Football in 2001.
Terry, a 6-1, 190-pound senior, tallied 1,861 all-purpose yards this fall and scored 24 touchdowns.
Terry rushed for 841 yards, averaging 7.4 yards per carrym, and had 818 receiving yards, averaging 16.7 yards per catch. Terry also averaged 18.4 yards per kickoff return.
Strom Thurmond senior running back Darius Hammond was also one of the finalists, which included Byrnes receiver Akia Booker, T.L. Hanna linebacker Ben Boulware, and Conway quarterback Mykal Moody.
The award capped a big day for Terry. Earlier in the day, he signed his financial aid scholarship papers to attend the University of Georgia. He will sign his national letter of intent on Feb. 6.
The award gave Mr. Football a reason to smile. He and his teammates were sidelined from the playoffs when the High School League ruled the Gators used an ineligible player.
"We didn't get to the state or a chance to defend at state," Terry said. "This is for my teammates. We won tonight."

No. 10/700,863, filed Nov. 3, 2003, which claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/496,441, filed Aug. 21, 2003 and is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/369,550, filed Feb. 21, 2003, which claims the benefits of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/359,287, filed on Feb. 25, 2002 and to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/389,346, filed on Jun. 18, 2002, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The invention is generally in the field of medical devices. More particularly, it relates to implantable pump-assisted drainage devices, e.g., for transvesicluar drainage, capable of draining fluid from a bodily cavity into another bodily cavity, such as a bladder.
There are a variety of conditions which result in pathologic chronic collection of bodily fluids within the body of a person. Chronic pericardial effusions, normopressure hydrocephalus, hydrocephalus, chronic pulmonary effusion, pulmonary edema, and ascites are but a few of the conditions in which chronic fluid collections persist and result in increased morbidity and mortality.
These types of conditions currently are treated typically by one of three methods: 1) external drainage with a high-risk of infection and long-term requirement for multiple punctures, 2) drainage to another body cavity, or 3) treatment with various drugs. For pericardial effusions and hydrocephalus of all types, the treatment of choice is typically drainage to another region of the body. For pericardial effusions this entails a pericardial window, a highly invasive procedure in which a large section of the external heart cavity is removed. For hydrocephalus, the treatment typically involves the use of a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt draining the cerebrospinal fluid into the peritoneal cavity. This device frequently becomes clogged due to the proteinaceous environment of the peritoneal cavity and requires removal or revision.
One problem which may arise with the chronic collection of bodily fluids is ascites, which is a highly debilitating complication associated with many medical conditions including liver failure and congestive heart failure. Untreated ascites can result in respiratory compromise, compression of the inferior vena cava (a vital blood vessel) and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (a life-threatening condition). In order to treat chronic ascites, medicine has turned to both drugs and surgery.
The drugs required to treat ascites are typically long-term and frequently result in complications. The most common pharmaceutical treatment of ascites involves the use of diuretics to remove fluid from the patient's body through their urine. The difficulty with this treatment, though, is that fluid is removed from the entire body, including the circulating volume of blood, and can result in excessive loss of fluid required to perfuse the vital organs of the human body. Thus, even with frequent application, the medicines frequently fail. In such cases, surgical, or invasive, procedures are indicated.
Currently the most common surgical treatment is paracentesis. In paracentesis, the peritoneal fluid is drained through the abdominal wall via the insertion of a needle through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity. This procedure is only a temporary solution as the ascites quickly refills the peritoneal cavity in most chronic conditions. Furthermore, repeated paracenteses places the patient at increased risk for a life-threatening infection of their peritoneal cavity. Other surgical/invasive procedures typically involve treatment of the cause of the ascites (for example, the Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt) but these measures also frequently result in complications, which are often serious and are thus performed infrequently.
Many of the existing commercially available devices provide little improvement over the intermittent punctures of paracentesis and result in increased rates of infection or other complications if left in place for any length of time. Therefore, there is a need for a device which effectively reduces the need for repeated punctures or abdominal incisions and thereby reduces the risk of serious infection.
An implantable fluid management system, as described herein, may typically comprise a first tube member having a first end, a second end, and a length which defines a lumen therethrough and having at least one opening at the first end or along the length, a second tube member having a first end, a second end, and a length which defines a lumen therethrough, a pump fluidly coupled to the first tube member and the second tube member for urging fluid through each tube member, and a shunt connected to the second end of the second tube member, wherein the shunt is adapted to anchor the second end of the second tube member to a wall of a hollow body organ in a fluid-tight seal.
This system may avoid difficulties typically associated with the current therapies. For instance, in the treatment of chronic ascites, the devices of the system may allow for the removal of peritoneal fluid without 1) serious complications generally associated with use of pharmaceuticals, 2) inconvenience, for example, the substantial costs and the increased risk of infection associated with frequent paracenteses, or 3) multiple severe complications associated with more invasive and risky surgical operations to treat the cause of ascites. The implantable fluid management system may be utilized for chronic excess fluid drainage from one bodily cavity to a second bodily cavity, e.g., a urinary bladder. An implantable electromechanically powered and/or magnetically coupled vesicular pump may be utilized to permit assisted flow of the excess fluid collections into the bladder. This flow may be directed to be uni-directional through the system.
One particular variation of the system may be used as an ascites drainage device. For instance, the device of the system may be used for peritoneovesicular drainage of the peritoneal fluid from the peritoneal cavity into, e.g., the bladder. The drainage of the fluid may be uni-directional through the system. To urge the fluid through the fluid management system, a pump which is fully implantable may be utilized with the system to transfer excess fluid from a variety of locations in the human body, for instance, the peritoneal cavity, to another region within the body, for instance, the urinary bladder, for the treatment of chronic fluid collections.
The system, including the pump and/or tubular members, may be configured to enable fluid flow in only one direction into, e.g., the bladder, to prevent the reflux of urine or other fluids into the area being drained while still allowing the drainage of the fluid into the bladder. This uni-directional configuration may be achieved through incorporation of a uni-directional valve in the lumen of the tubing or through the use of a unidirectional pump which may also be prevented from being driven in reverse.
The device may include at least two distinct flexible tubular members each defining at least one lumen therethrough. One tubular member may be used for drawing fluid from the region to be drained into or through the pump while the other tube may be used for channeling the fluid from the pump into the hollow body organ such as the bladder. The tube for drawing the excess fluid from the the body cavity may contain or define at least one opening, and may preferably define multiple perforations, and/or anti-clogging mechanisms in the region of the fluid intake. This tubular member may also optionally incorporate chemical- or pressure-sensing elements to trigger and/or prevent activation of the pump under specific circumstances. The tubular member carrying the pumped fluid to the bladder may feature an anchoring mechanism such as a shunt mentioned above (e.g., a flange, pigtail coil, etc.) and may optionally be coated with a hydrophilic material to prevent encrustation. The tip of this tubing may also optionally incorporate chemical- or pressure-sensing elements to trigger and/or prevent activation of the pump under specific circumstances ensuring that the pump does not generate excessive bladder pressures. These sensors can be placed anywhere along the length of either tube, including the extremes of a position at the site of pump attachment and a position at the tip of the tubing. Optionally, the two tubes can be integrated together into a single tubular member having two distinct lumens for ease of insertion.
The shunt for anchoring to the bladder wall may, in one variation, comprise a hollow, cylindrical column with flanges at either or both ends to provide secure anchorage in the bladder wall. The shunt may have an integrated mechanism to ensure uni-directional flow of fluid while preventing reflux of urine and other fluids back through the shunt. One variation of the shunt may provide a passive ball-valve mechanism which allows for drainage of fluid into the bladder whenever a certain minimum threshold pressure is achieved at the collection site. Another variation may provide an active valve mechanism which allows for controlled drainage of fluid into the bladder whenever the valve is actuated.
The system can be made available in multiple configurations and designs for varying types and severity of fluid collections. For drainage of excess cerebrospinal fluid, for example, the tubing connecting the pump to the ventricle of the brain may be fabricated to be significantly longer than the tubing for chronic ascites which need only reach an adjacent peritoneal cavity.
The methods of insertion of the fluid management system may be based, in part, on the location of the fluid collection. On the other hand, the tubular member spanning to the bladder wall may be placed, e.g., cystoscopically or transabdominally, using minimally invasive procedures. The pump may be placed subcutaneously using interventional radiology techniques including radiographic imaging such as ultrasound. The inflow tubing connected to the pump, in one variation, may be tunneled subcutaneously to the site of drainage and the outflow tubing can be subcutaneously channeled to the bladder. Alternatively, the pump can be placed in the peritoneal cavity, or other bodily cavity, and activated remotely or set to operate independently based on pressure signals sensed from the fluid. In this variation, the pump may be tethered to an inductive charging coil for recharging or, if a battery with sufficient life is used, may carry its own independent power supply.
The system may also optionally include controls to limit the operation of the pump and provide feedback to ensure that the pump is operating correctly. Thus the total fluid flow can be monitored and tightly controlled.
The implantable fluid management system may comprise devices for facilitating the removal of fluid from a body region where drainage is desired. For instance, the devices disclosed herein may be utilized for chronic excess fluid drainage from one bodily cavity to a second bodily cavity, e.g., a urinary bladder. An implantable electromechanically powered and/or magnetically coupled vesicular pump may be utilized to permit assisted flow of the excess fluid collections into the bladder. This flow may be directed to be uni-directional through the system.
As can be seen in
In one variation, the shunt 1 may be configured to define a lumen through the shaft of the device with a valving mechanism positioned within this lumen. For instance, a ball-valve 4 may be positioned to obstruct an inflow opening of the lumen. A biasing element such as a spring 5 may be configured to provide a closing pressure against the ball-valve 4 such that the lumen remains shut until a minimum threshold pressure is developed by the fluid which may force the ball-valve 4 open or until a pump is actuated to open the valve 4. The inflow port of the shunt 1 may optionally include a porous mesh or filter 6 to allow for the free flow of fluid through shunt 1 while preventing the incarceration of tissues at the drainage site. Moreover, the mesh or filter 6 may be configured to filter the fluid through a polymer to sequester components which may be present within the fluid, such as albumin and other proteins, while allowing the flow of fluids and ions across the semi-permeable membrane.
As can be seen in the variation of
If the combined pressure from the fluid pressure within the bladder 8 and the closing force of the spring 5 is greater than the pressure exerted by the collected fluid within the peritoneal cavity 7, then the valve 4 will remain closed preventing reflux of urine and other fluids back into the peritoneal cavity 7, as depicted in
The shunt 1 may be designed to be deployed transurethrally or transabdominally via an insertion device 10, such as that depicted in the variation of
A tubing member 11 may be attached to the inflow port of shunt 1. This tubing member 11 may be made such that it is sufficiently long enough to reach the region within the body where excess fluid collects. As shown in the illustrative drawings in
In addition to the shunt 1 having a ball valve 4 in combination with the tubing member 11, other variations may utilize one or more valves of a variety of different types. For instance, passively-actuated valves, i.e., valves which are configured to automatically open and close without being actively actuated, such as the ball-valve 4 shown in
Alternatively, active valves, i.e., valves which may be configured to open and close via an actuation or sensing element, may also be utilized with the fluid management system. The use of active valves may be utilized for maintaining a tighter control of fluid drainage. For instance,
In another variation, an electronic valve may be configured to become triggered via communication across the tissues of the human body through electromagnetic signals such as radio frequency, microwave, or other electromagnetic frequencies. Alternatively, pressure (patient-applied or otherwise) mechanical, magnetic, or other methods of communication may be utilized to signal allowing for drainage only at selected times. The valve of the device can take many shapes and the device can be manufactured from any of a variety of materials provided that they are biocompatible.
The fluid management system may also be configured to incorporate a pump 16, as shown in
The patient may optionally perform maneuvers to help increase the pressure of any fluid which may be contained within the body cavity. For instance, the patient may bear down to increase intra-abdominal pressure to facilitate drainage of the peritoneal cavity. Alternatively, the patient may also wear or apply a girdle designed to increase abdominal pressure or apply a urethral catheter to decrease bladder pressure.
The fluid management system may be configured to drain fluid collections from a variety of different regions within the body. For example, while the shunt 1 may be anchored within the bladder wall, the receptacle 12 may be placed, as described above, within the peritoneal cavity as shown in
In yet another variation, the shunt, pump, or tubular devices may incorporate one or several anti-infective agents to inhibit the spread of infection between body cavities. Examples of anti-infective agents which may be utilized may include, e.g., bacteriostatic materials, bacteriocidal materials, one or more antibiotic dispensers, antibiotic eluting materials, entrained radioisotopes, heating elements, bioactive plastics, surfaces which encourage epithelialization, and coatings which prevent bacterial adhesion, and combinations thereof.
Additionally, the devices may also incorporate anti-clogging agents. Examples of anti-clogging agents may include, e.g., active ultrasonic components, an inner and outer sleeve which, when actively agitated through coupling to the pump drive or through a flow driven mechanism, disrupts the inner lumen surfaces which encourage epithelialization, enzyme eluting materials, enzyme eluting materials which specifically target the proteinaceous components of ascites, enzyme eluting materials which specifically target the proteinaceous and encrustation promoting components of urine, chemical eluting surfaces, an intermittent plunger mechanism, coatings which prevent adhesion of proteinaceous compounds, and combinations thereof. The anti-infective and/or anti-clogging agents may be infused through the devices via a reservoir contained, for instance, in the pump or in a separate reservoir. Alternatively, the agents may be integrated within or coated upon the surfaces of the various components of the system.
The uptake tubing 107 leads to the pump 101, which may be used to actively pump or urge the fluid from the uptake tubing 107 and through the outflow tube 108 and into the bladder 110. In this variation, an optional bladder anchor or shunt 109 may be utilized to secure the distal end or portion of outflow tube 108 and prevent detachment of tubing 108 during bladder contraction. The bladder anchor or shunt 109 may be configured in any one of the variations as described above for the shunt 1.
The pump 101, can be powered and operated by electromechanical forces or magnetic coupling. The pump 101 may be placed under the skin 111 in either the subcutaneous space 112 or in the musculature of the abdominal wall 113. The pump 101 may be configured as a peristaltic pump, but may also be a gear-pump, turbine-pump, impeller-pump, radial-flow-pump, centrifugal-pump, piston-pump, or any other suitable pump type. Ideally, the pump 101 design ensures uni-directional operation. Moreover, the pump 101 may be configured to incorporate a pulsatile or oscillating mechanism within the pump 101 to aid in jarring free any materials from collecting or becoming encrusted to thereby prevent the pump 101 or tubing from clogging. However, valves may be configured to ensure uni-directional operation. The pump 101 is preferably enclosed in a housing, shroud or casing 125 made of any suitable biocompatible material.
Also enclosed in the pump housing 125, in this particular variation, is the magnetically-coupled drive. One, two, or more magnets 103 may be provided to operate the pump 101. A separate control module 116 which is remotely located from the implanted pump 101 may be used to drive external magnets 105 located within the drive unit 102 or magnets 105 may be used to provide an oscillating or alternating electromagnetic field to correspondingly couple through the skin 111 with a magnetic field of the implanted magnets 103 located within the pump 101. By rotating or oscillating the magnets 105 in the drive unit 102, the implanted magnets 103 are stimulated or urged to move, thereby transferring their kinetic force to operate the pump 101. While
The individual implantable components of the system are shown in detail in
Both inflow and outflow tubing, or just one of the tubes, may be reinforced along a portion of its length of along its entire length. Reinforcement of the tubing may be accomplished via ribbon or wire braiding or lengths of wire or ribbon embedded or integrated within or along the tubing. The braiding or wire may be fabricated from metals such as stainless steels, superelastic metals such as nitinol, or from a variety of suitable polymers.
The device may be designed to drain a variety of different fluid collections including, but not limited to, the excess fluid within the peritoneal cavity, as shown in
The housing, shroud or casing 125 of the pump can take many shapes and the pump housing 125 can be manufactured from any of a variety of biocompatible materials. Alternatively, the pump housing 125 may incorporate anti-infective components or agents in order to prevent the spread of infection between the body cavities. Such anti-infective components or agents may include, e.g., bacteriostatic materials, bacteriocidal materials, one or more antibiotic dispensers, antibiotic eluting materials, entrained radioisotopes, heating elements, bioactive plastics, surfaces which encourage epithelialization, coatings which prevent bacterial adhesion, etc., and combinations thereof. Alternatively, the device may also incorporate anti-clogging components, e.g., active ultrasonic components, surfaces which encourage epithelialization, enzyme eluting materials, chemical eluting surfaces, coatings which prevent adhesion of proteinaceous compounds, etc., and combinations thereof.
The device has been designed to allow for minimally invasive placement, ideally through the use of non-invasive radiographic imaging tools such as abdominal ultrasound. Placement of the fluid management system may be facilitated by filling the bladder 110 and using ultrasound to locate this space; the outflow tubing 108 can then be placed through a small incision and a simple puncture. The inflow tubing 107 can also be placed in a similar manner using subcutaneous tunneling of the tubing and ultrasound guidance. Once the tubing has been placed, the outflow tubing 107 and the inflow tubing 108 may then be attached to the pump 101 at the insertion sites. The pump 101 may then be set into its site of implantation (for instance, in the subcutaneous space) after which the wound is closed and allowed to heal.

Looks like a humbucker, but sounds like a P90 without the noise.
The DiMarzio DP163 Bluesbucker Humbucker Pickup looks like a standard humbucker, but sounds like a P90 and cancels 60-cycle hum as effectively as the average humbucker. This means any guitar with standard size humbuckers can now have the sound of P90s without altering the guitar in any way and without noise. Patented Virtual Vintage and Airbucker technology let the Bluesbucker "see" a narrow string window like a true single-coil, making it extremely sensitive to playing dynamics. When a pair of these pickups are on together, they achieve the open, slightly hollow sound that two single-coils produce. Splitting the pickup produces a sound similar to that of a Strat pickup, with very little drop in output.
Recommended For: All positions
The coil with the 6 adjustable slotted poles is the "hot" coil. The coil with the solid poles is along for the ride to cancel hum and look cool. Since one coil is doing most of the work, the direction the Bluesbucker is installed makes an obvious difference in the sound. When the hot coil is closest to the bridge, the sound is brighter; towards the neck is warmer. Even though the look is a little nontraditional, we like the sound of the bridge pickup "backwards" (with the screw coil towards the neck). With a Bluesbucker in the neck position with the screw coil towards the bridge (also "backwards") the combined sound is Tele-like. With the neck pickup in the more traditional direction, the combination is like two P-90s. The Bluesbucker comes with special wiring instructions.

Has that nice fat sound.
Cleans up very well.
Great dynamics.
No hum.
Easily pulls neck harmonics.
What else could you ask for?
More people should check this thing out, great pickup! I'd give four and half stars if I could, I just don't give out 5's after only a few weeks...

Comments about DiMarzio DP163 Bluesbucker Humbucker Pickup:
I own or have owned many high-end instruments, including guitars with original PAF's Shaw PAF's and early P90's. I had picked up an Epiphone Dot ES-335 - NOT a high end instrument but surprisingly very well made. But the pickups (Chinese 57 Classics) are lacking when compared to PAF's, early patent number HB's and early P-90's - all fairly low output, articulate, clear-sounding pickups. Contrary to folklore PAF's sound more like a low-noise P90 than a modern high-output HB, and I was researching replacements to get a more vintage-type tone out of the Dot. I'd read recommendations specific to this guitar & decided to try the Bluesbuckers. Although hyped as a noiseless P90 I found them to have the clarity, articulation and tone of several types of PAF's (which actually vary quite a bit) with the slightly "raw" edge of a P90. The guitar simply "woke up" and sounds like a late-50's/early 60's Gibson ES-335. Reasonably priced, these pickups...in my case...made a huge, positive difference in the tone of the guitar. I also tested them in my '84 Les Paul Studio Standard and found them virtually identical to the stock Shaw PAF's. Highly recommended for vintage tone applications - they're not a screaming metal pickup.

Comments about DiMarzio DP163 Bluesbucker Humbucker Pickup:
I had looked at these for a while and I finally put a pair in my PRS CE 22(along with an Area 67' in the middle,)and all I can say is wow! These are very singlecoil sounding, and in split mode, they lose almost no output and sound nearly identical to strat pickups. If you are looking for a chimey P90 type sound, awesome. These DO NOT sound like humbuckers. They also mix with standard singlecoils very well!

Comments about DiMarzio DP163 Bluesbucker Humbucker Pickup:
While pickups are a personal taste, they should be given a lot of consideration. I used this one in the neck position with a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge. They play well together and I am happy with both. The Bluesbucker is more affordable than a Gibson or boutique pickups. I won't attempt to compare it with anything else, but it is fairly bright, which is what I wanted.
Comments about DiMarzio DP163 Bluesbucker Humbucker Pickup:
Overall, this is a great pickup and is very responsive and has a wide range. I prefer it not overly distorted but with mild overdrive. It made my S series prestige Ibanez sound a lot like an old Les Paul which is very cool. This particular guitar has really poor sustain - at no fault of this pickup. I do feel that this pickup helped this guitar sound better than what I had in the stock pickup. I installed it in the bridge position and tried the hot pole piece side first toward the neck. It was muddy so I put the hot side toward the bridge which helped brighten it up quite a bit. Overall, I would say this is a great pickup. Thank you Dimarzio.
The Bluesbucker is supposed to have p90 tone without the hum. I put it in my Ibanez S prestige to change the guitar's character from heavy metal to a more bluestype of sound. Depending upon my amp settings this pickup did in fact sound like a p90 when not too much distortion was on. If I added distortion it would only retain p90 tones if the volume pot was tuned down minimally at around 2 or 3. Any past that and it mudded up really bad. But, for clean to mild overdrive it sounded fantastic - at least on this particular guitar. I have not tried it in any of my other guitars.
I have several Dimarzio pickups and quality is always top shelf.
Excellent price.
Comments about DiMarzio DP163 Bluesbucker Humbucker Pickup:
If you are looking for a pickup that has balls and is bluesy, look at the bluesbucker or the 36th anniversary by Dimarzio. I will say the bluesbucker is darker than the 36th anniversary and sounds slightly smoother from a normal paf...more like a p90. I highly recommend
It's like noby owns this pickup and I cannot understand why. It's one of the Dimarzio's best...and I have tried a lot of pickups in my 20 years. Pickup that features more treble and mids for bluesy tone for the neck or bridge on a guitar. I have it in the neck of my electra les paul and it sounds fantastic. Think a cross between a texas special and a paf.
My electra les paul has an incredible bridge pickup but the beck was very muddy. I tried a few pickups out and ended up with the bluesbucker. It has everything I have been searching for. It's vintage output although it has punch and it has really great mids for the blues. I also have a 36th anniversary paf in another guitar and I found them to be similar in the sense thatthey have great mids where as the bluesbucker sounds a tad more like a P90. I highly reccomend both those pickups for the neck, best I ever heard.

Facilitator Workgroups for UST Campus Climate Survey
Members of the University of St. Thomas community are invited to participate in Facilitator Workgroups or complete an online Campus Climate Survey feedback form in preparation for the upcoming Campus Climate Survey.
Thursday, November 15, 2012
John R. Roach Center for the Liberal Arts (JRC), Room 201
St. Paul Campus
Complete an online form and answer the same questions that are asked at the Facilitator Workgroups. Click here to fill out the online form.
In an effort to solicit input on the composition of the next climate survey at UST, Sue Myers, Chair of University Advocates for Women and Equity, will be hosting some work groups that will allow interested individuals to offer their perspectives on the campus climate. UAWE and LDCW invite you to be involved and let your voice be heard. Please note, this is NOT the climate survey itself, but an opportunity to offer information that will help in writing the next survey. When that survey becomes available (during spring semester), we strongly urge you to complete it.
Sue will be offering two sessions, one for female faculty and one for female staff members, both to be held in St. Paul. If you are interested in attending one of the sessions, please email Sue (email@example.com) so that she can add you to the list of attendees. If you are unable to attend at the scheduled time, you may wish to go to one of the sessions being offered by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness or complete the online form (more information below). Indeed, you may choose to go to more than one session in order to provide feedback appropriate to the different constituencies with which you may be associated. (For example, if appropriate, you could choose to attend a work group for faculty of color and also a different work group for female faculty.)
- Workgroup for female staff: Wednesday, Nov. 14, 11:30 am-1:00 pm, McNeely Hall 100 (Great Room)
- Workgroup for female faculty: Thursday, Nov. 15, 11:45 am-1:15 pm, JRC 201
NOTE: You are welcome to bring a bag lunch with you.
More information on the efforts to collect feedback is provided below:
Faculty, staff and students are invited to participate in Facilitator Workgroups or complete an online form to express their perspective on the University of St. Thomas campus climate
Members of the University of St. Thomas community are invited to participate in Facilitator Workgroups or complete an online Campus Climate Survey feedback form in preparation for the upcoming Campus Climate Survey.
What is campus climate?
Campus climate includes behaviors in a workplace or learning environment, ranging from subtle to cumulative to dramatic, that can influence whether an individual feels personally safe, listened to, valued, and treated fairly and with respect.
What are Facilitator Workgroups?
Facilitator Workgroups provide opportunities for members of the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and the Climate Survey Advisory Group (CSAG) to hear from various groups at St. Thomas about their perspectives on the university's campus climate – its strengths and weaknesses.
The information shared by the workgroups will be analyzed by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and used to develop effective research questions. These workgroups are not brainstorming sessions to create survey questions, but rather an opportunity to engage in conversation and receive feedback that will be used to discover the research questions.
It's important to note that an audio of the sessions will be recorded to ensure a correct interpretation of what is being shared at the workgroups. The recordings will be deleted after analysis is completed.
The Office of Institutional Effectiveness offers two means for feedback from the campus community:
- Attend one of the Facilitator Workgroups. In addition to the groups listed above, there are still several general sessions that you can attend. They are:
Workgroups offered in Opus Hall on the Minneapolis campus:
- Staff Workgroup, 1-2:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 5, in Room 202
- Student Workgroup, 3-4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 6, in Room 201
- Faculty Workgroup, 1-2:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19, in Room 202
Workgroups offered in Room 100, McNeely Hall, St. Paul campus:
- Student Workgroup, 9:30-11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 5 in Room 100
- Faculty Workgroup, 3:30-5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14 in Room 100
2. Complete an online form and answer the same questions that are asked at the Facilitator Workgroups. Click here to fill out the online form.
The Campus Climate Survey will be administered in February 2013. Click here for more details on the upcoming and past Campus Climate Surveys.
To register for a Campus Climate Facilitator Workgroup offered by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, click here. (If you want to participate in a workgroup offered by the University Advocates for Women and Equity, simply reply to this message.) Notice the groups assigned to each date. The surveys have distinctive components for faculty, other components for staff and still others for students. Therefore, these groups will be maintained in the Facilitator Workgroups and scheduled on different days. When registering for a workgroup, participants will be asked to choose their classification (faculty, staff or student) and then a date and time. Only available dates will display on the registration form.
