Publication number: 20170128004Abstract: Lung conditions are diagnosed and optionally treated using a functional assessment catheter or a functional lung assessment and treatment catheter. A flow restrictive component is initially placed in a bronchus or lung passageway upstream from a diseased lung region. The isolated lung region is then functionally assessed through the catheter, while the flow restrictive component remains in place. If the patient is a good candidate for treatment by occlusive or restrictive treatment techniques, the flow resistive component may be left in place. If the patient is not suitable for such treatment, the flow resistive component may be removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2016Publication date: May 11, 2017Inventors: Ajit Nair, Son Gia, Roger Farhnoltz, Nikolai Aljuri

Patent number: 9479653Abstract: A device may receive campaign information for deploying a toll-free data service campaign. The campaign information may identify a geographic region in which the toll-free data service campaign is to be deployed. The device may mark the toll-free data service campaign as ready to deploy, and may generate campaign rules based on the campaign information. The campaign rules may identify conditions for charging a content provider, associated with the toll-free data service campaign, for data used by a mobile device in association with the toll-free data service campaign. The device may deploy the toll-free data service campaign by providing the campaign rules to enforcement devices associated with the geographic region. The device may mark the toll-free data service campaign as being deployed. The device may determine that deployment of the toll-free data service campaign has been completed, and may mark the toll-free data service campaign as deployed.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Fenglin Yin, Susan Kelly, Ajit Nair, Jae Won Chung

Patent number: 9467339Abstract: A device may receive information that identifies a toll-free data service campaign to be tested. The device may receive information that identifies a network to be used to test the toll-free data service campaign. The device may deploy the toll-free data service campaign on the network by deploying a campaign rule, associated with the toll-free data service campaign, that identifies a condition for charging a content provider, associated with the toll-free data service campaign, for data used by a mobile device in association with the toll-free data service campaign. The device may determine a testing criteria for testing the toll-free data service campaign on the network.

Patent number: 9398171Abstract: A system may receive from a mobile device, a uniform resource identifier (URI) for accessing secure content associated with a toll-free data campaign for secure content (“campaign”) from a content provider device. The system may identify traffic information included in the URI. The system may compare the traffic information with stored traffic information associated with the campaign and may determine that the traffic information is associated with the campaign if the traffic information matches the stored traffic information. The system may determine that an analysis of a transport layer socket (TLS) handshake, performed between the mobile device and the content provider device, was successful for the campaign. The system may provide information to cause data charges, for a traffic flow, to be charged to a content provider based on determining that the traffic information is associated with the campaign and that the TLS handshake analysis was successful.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2015Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Fenglin Yin, Susan Kelly, Ajit Nair, Zhong Chen

Patent number: 9392123Abstract: A system may include one more devices to receive traffic information for a peer-to-peer communication, between a mobile device and a peer-to-peer client device via a peer-to-peer server, associated with a peer-to-peer network. The system may identify peer-to-peer server information associated with the peer-to-peer server and included in the traffic information and may compare the peer-to-peer server information with stored peer-to-peer server information associated with a toll-free data service campaign (“campaign”). The system may determine that the peer-to-peer server information is associated with the campaign if the peer-to-peer server information matches the stored peer-to-peer server information and may provide information to cause data charges, for the traffic flow, to be charged to a service provider associated with the campaign based on determining that the peer-to-peer server information provided in the traffic information is associated with the campaign.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2015Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Fenglin Yin, Susan Kelly, Ajit Nair, Zhong Chen

Patent number: 9232959Abstract: Prostate treatment using fluid stream to resect prostate tissue, thereby relieving symptoms of conditions such as BPH, prostatitis, and prostatic carcinoma. A device having a fluid delivery element is positioned within a lumen of the urethra within the prostate. A fluid stream is directed outwardly from the fluid delivery element toward a wall of the urethral lumen. The fluid delivery element is moved to scan the fluid stream over the wall to remove a volume of tissue surrounding the lumen. The fluid may be combined with therapeutically active substances or with substances that increase resection efficiency. Fluid force may be adjusted to provide selective tissue resection such that soft tissue is removed while harder tissue is left undamaged. In order to gain a working space within the urethra, another fluid may be introduced to insufflate the urethra in the region of treatment.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2010Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: AQUABEAM, LLCInventors: Nikolai Aljuri, Ajit Nair, Paren Shah, Adam Nemeyer, Daniel Grupp

Patent number: 8750279Abstract: A method of assigning network resources between network endpoints includes providing a session initiation request to an application manager. The application manager is logically and physically decoupled from an application server associated with the network endpoints. This request initiates communication between the network endpoints through the set of network resources. The communication employs an application residing on an application server. The method also includes providing a PCMM message from the application manager to a policy server as a result of the session initiation request. The PCMM message includes at least some information, for example QoS information, embedded in the session initiation request. The method further includes selecting, via the policy server, a set of network resources for creating a path connecting the network endpoints. The policy server selects the set of network assets based on the PCMM message, for example to set QoS for the communication between the two endpoints.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2010Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Camiant, Inc.Inventors: Yusun Kim Riley, Ajit Nair, Michael Mercurio

Patent number: 8137302Abstract: The lateral flow between adjacent lung segments is occluded by blocking collateral flow channels with particles. A gas flow is established from one lung segment through the flow channels in an intermediate fibrous septum, and out through the adjacent lung segment. Particles entrained in the gas flow become lodged in the collateral flow channels to eventually block flow.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2007Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Pulmonx CorporationInventors: Nikolai Aljuri, Jose G. Venegas, Ajit Nair, Rodney C. Perkins

Patent number: 8136526Abstract: Lung conditions are treated by implanting a flow restrictor in a passageway upstream from a diseased lung segment. The restrictor will create an orifice at the implantation site which inhibits air exchange with the segment to induce controlled atelectasis and/or hypoxia. Controlled atelectasis can induce collapse of the diseased segment with a reduced risk of pneumothorax. Hypoxia can promote gas exchange with non-isolated, healthy regions of the lung even in the absence of lung collapse.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2007Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Pulmonx CorporationInventors: Rodney C.
