Interventional procedures on the carotid arteries are performed through a transcervical access while retrograde blood flow is established from the internal carotid artery to a venous or external location. A system for use in accessing and treating a carotid artery includes an arterial access device, a shunt fluidly connected to the arterial access device, and a flow control assembly coupled to the shunt and adapted to regulate blood flow through the shunt between at least a first blood flow state and at least a second blood flow state. The flow control assembly includes one or more components that interact with the blood flow through the shunt.

According to one embodiment, a flexible printed wiring board includes a base insulation layer, first wirings W1 on the base insulation layer, an intermediate insulation layer overlapped with the first wirings, connection pads on the intermediate insulation layer, a cover insulation layer overlapped with the connection pads and the intermediate insulation layer and including openings through which the connection pads are exposed to the cover layer, and conductive vias MT electrically connecting the first wirings to at least a part of the connection pads respectively. The conductive vias are overlapped with the connection pads in a thickness direction of the flexible printed wiring board.

A disk apparatus includes recording disks and a first and a second actuator assembly that rotate about a support shaft and that each include: an actuator block; a wiring board having connection terminals and installed on an installation surface of the actuator block; and head assemblies each attached to the actuator block via an arm and each including a head and an interconnection member. The wiring board of each of the first and the second actuator assembly has a connection portion connected to one of the connection terminals and located adjacently to a boundary between the first and the second actuator assembly, and the connection portion of the first or the second actuator assembly is bent with respect to the installation surface.

A method of assembly a dual stage actuated suspension includes either applying an adhesive to a microactuator motor and then B-staging the adhesive, or applying an adhesive that has already been B-staged such as in film adhesive form to the microactuator then assembling the microactuator into a suspension and then finishing the adhesive cure. The adhesive can be applied to bulk piezoelectric material, with the adhesive being B-staged either before or after it is applied to the bulk piezoelectric material, and the piezoelectric material then singulated into a number of individual piezoelectric microactuators. The method allows greater control over how much adhesive is used, and greater control over spread of that adhesive and control over potential contamination, than traditional liquid epoxy dispense methods.

A circuit member includes a metal base, an insulating layer, a conductor, and a cover layer. A termial portion of the circuit member includes a thick portion formed at a part of the insulating layer, a conductor convex portion which is a part of the conductor, and overlaps the thick portion, and a conductor extending portion. By the conductor convex portion and the conductor extending portion, a stepped side pad is formed. The stepped side gad includes a first surface along the conductor extending portion, and a second surface which rises in a thickness direction of the conductor extending portion. The stepped side pad and an element are connected by a conductive member.

Disclosed herein is a magnetic storage device that comprises a suspension arm co-movably fixed to a carriage arm. The suspension arm comprises a slider attachment side and at least one first electrical contact pad on the slider attachment side. The suspension arm also comprises a slider co-movably fixed to the suspension arm. The slider comprises a suspension attachment side, a non-head side facing the suspension arm and intersecting the suspension attachment side at a first slider edge of the slider, a head side facing away from the suspension arm, and at least one electrical contact component on the suspension attachment side up to the first slider edge. At least one solder weldment is directly coupled to the at least one first electrical contact pad and the at least one electrical contact component. Additionally, a read-write head is coupled to the head side of the slider.

A magnetic head suspension assembly includes a support plate coupled to a magnetic head, and a flexible wiring member disposed on the support plate.
