The umbilical cable connectors are removably secured to a system controller which regulates the temperature while moni- toring the pressure of the fluid in the balloon catheter.
The impeller cable is partially disposed in the handle, in the elongate tubular member and in the core of the heating assembly, such that axial rotation of said cable rotates the blades of said impeller.
The proximal end of the cable lumen is coupled to the umbilical cable 37, which is secured to the handle 36 for connecting the cable to a drive mechanism located in the system controller 35.

 United States Patent Application: 0040080610
The umbilical cord of the emergency center cart will also have electronic conductors for telemetry of medical data representing the vital signs of the patient, thus enabling the medical practitioner to consider all relevant patient data that is desirable for patient diagnosis and treatment.
Since an umbilical cable of the mobile EC cart may extend across a floor and represent a hazard to persons walking in the immediate area, it is desirable to provide the emergency center facility with means for supporting the umbilical cable without diminishing the mobility of the cart.
The guided cable 174 may additionally be supported by an elastic bungie cord 176 which assists in permitting extension and controls contraction of the umbilical cable as need for selective positioning of the cart within the emergency center.

To resist severe impacts from broken ice, the cable was encased in a polyurethane jacket with two layers of steel wires wound in opposite directions to prevent twisting of the umbilical cable under tension.
A 2,800 lb (1270 kg) cast steel ball suspended from the helical steel-wire stress member kept the umbilical cable at a high angle (about 70° to 75°) to the water surface at the usual towing speeds of 4 or 5 knots.
The hydrophone streamer lead-in cable was towed from the steel ball, and the air guns were suspended in pairs from the corners of a triangular steel frame weighing approximately 1,500 lbs (680 kg) that was suspended beneath the steel ball.

 WHAT IS AN ROV?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The total ROV system is comprised of the vehicle, which is connected to the control van and the operators on the surface by an umbilical cable, a handling system to control the cable dynamics, a launch system (such as the A-frame shown in the photo to the right) and associated power supplies.
The umbilical carries the power and the command and control signals to the vehicle and the status and sensory data back to the operators topside.
Such handling techniques allow the heavy umbilical to remain vertical in the water column while the ROV maneuvers with the smaller cable, free of the surface dynamics, which in many cases, can pull the ROV from its work station.
