  • Patent number: 10743885
    Abstract: Clip for an aneurism suitable for being implanted into tissue in which an aneurism has formed and carrying out a tight closure of the aneurism. The clip includes a pair of claw members (2a, 2 b) non-metallic material, the claw members provided with an articulated joining mechanism (3), which allows rotation of the pair of claw members around a pivot (4) which interlocks them. The clip can adopt at least one opening position (A) and one closure position (B). The clip has at least one spring element (6) at least partially housed in the clip which bends to arrange the clip in closure position which includes at least one flexible (7) and elastic element with a section with arced configuration (8), press-fitted with two opposing ends (9a, 9b) each one exerting pressure on a different claw member both in the opening and in the closure position.

  • Publication number: 20200208852
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for an inline air purification system is described herein. An example apparatus includes a housing, a high-velocity air flow guide, a filter assembly, and a fan. The high-velocity air flow guide includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is configured to form a passage within the housing, and the second portion is configured to divert and accelerate air flow of the ambient air from the passage to a chamber of the housing. The filter assembly includes one or more filtering elements configured to receive the ambient air from the chamber. The fan is configured to draw the ambient air from the chamber through the filter assembly and to generate processed air from the ambient air. The housing is located in an HVAC duct, and occupies only part of the cross-sectional area of the duct. The remaining area of the duct accommodates bypass air flow to a primary fan in the HVAC system.

  • Patent number: 10641072
    Abstract: A plunger includes a sleeve having a passage therethrough and a valve member in the passage. When the plunger falls in a production string of a hydrocarbon well, the valve member is open and allows gas flow through the plunger. When the plunger contacts a liquid slug in the production string, the valve closes so that pressure from below reverses movement of the plunger so it pushes liquid above the plunger toward the earth's surface and ultimately to a well head where liquid and gas are separated.

  • Patent number: 10452898
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify one or more objects depicted in a camera view of a camera application displayed on a display of a user device. An augmented reality overlay is determined based on the one or more objects identified in the camera view. The camera view is modified based on the augmented reality overlay.

  • Publication number: 20180190033
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can obtain image data from a camera view associated with a computing device, where the image data is associated with an interior space. A portion of the image data for displaying one or more augmented reality (AR) content items can be determined. An AR content item to display in the camera view can be determined. The AR content item can be provided for presentation in the camera view based on the determined portion of the image data.
