ACA Financial Guaranty provides financial guaranty insurance for municipal and other public finance bonds. Previously, the company also provided asset management services for collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) built by pooling fixed-income assets, including bonds, loans, and credit swaps; investors in the company's CDOs included banks, money managers, hedge funds, and insurance companies. While the company's guaranty business was sound, its other services led to its distress. When the US subprime mortgage market tanked, the company was forced to reorganize and place its municipal bond guaranty business into run-off. Now tending to its existing obligations, ACA is no longer writing new policies.

Acclarent's medical technology helps people breathe easy without surgery. The company created the Balloon Sinuplasty, a minimally-invasive device used to treat patients with chronic sinusitis. The Balloon Sinuplasty opens blocked sinuses by inflating a balloon in the sinus cavity instead of cutting away bone and tissue, and patients can return to work as soon as the next day. The FDA-approved device is marketed directly to ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctors in the US and internationally. Acclarent was acquired by Ethicon, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary and a leading maker of medical equipment, in 2010.

Accuray's CyberKnife radiosurgery system zaps solid tumors with precisely aimed, high-dose radiation. The system, approved for use in the US, the EU, and several Asian countries, improves upon older radiosurgery systems that have limited mobility and are mostly used to treat brain tumors. Doctors can use CyberKnife to treat tumors anywhere in the body; the system tracks and adjusts for movement in real time, allowing for patient and tumor movement. Procedures with CyberKnife require no anesthesia and can be performed on an outpatient basis. Roughly 200 of the systems have been installed in hospitals around the world, more than 65% of them in the US.
