Patent number: 11890483Abstract: In various examples, an apparatus is configured for subcutaneously inserting an implantable device within a patient. The apparatus includes a dilator portion including a dilator including a dilator length. The dilator portion is configured to separate tissue to create a subcutaneous pocket within the patient sized and shaped to accommodate an implantable device within the subcutaneous pocket. A sheath portion includes a sheath sized and shaped to accommodate the dilator within a sheath lumen. The sheath is configured to accommodate an antenna of the implantable device with the dilator removed from within the sheath. The sheath includes a sheath length that is at least substantially as long as an antenna length. The sheath is configured to separate to allow removal of the sheath around the implantable device to remove the sheath from and leave the implantable device within the subcutaneous pocket within the patient.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Greatbatch Ltd.Inventors: Rodolphe Katra, Scott Kimmel, Lawrence Kane, Daniel Chase

Publication number: 20090056074Abstract: A novel single axis automobile door hinge allows the door to open and close through an arc oriented at an oblique angle to the horizontal and vertical. A single hinge is utilized for each door. The hinge fits within existing vacant space forward of the door and between the chassis and fender such that little if any removal of original equipment manufactured body or parts is called for during installation, other than usually simple unbolting of the manufacturer-supplied traditional vertical axis door hinges. Often the novel hinge can be installed by bolting directly to the existing door hinge bolt holes.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2007Publication date: March 5, 2009Inventor: Daniel A. Chase

Publication number: 20080000477Abstract: An therapy system is operable to deliver a plurality of respiratory therapies to the patient and has an assessment system operable to assess the efficacy of at least one of the respiratory therapies. The therapy system may be operable to deliver any one or more of the following therapies: a positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy, a nebulizer therapy, an intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) therapy, a cough assist therapy, a suction therapy, a bronchial dilator therapy, and the like. The assessment system may comprise any one or more of the following devices: a flow meter, a spirometer, an electronic stethoscope, a tympanic thermometer, a pulse oximeter, a respiration rate monitor, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2007Publication date: January 3, 2008Inventors: Keith Huster, Gregory Branson, Todd O'Neal, Mayur Yermaneni, Daniel Chase, Karen Gove, Timothy Ikeler, Stephen Schulte, Rachael King, Teresa Mirabella

Publication number: 20060073001Abstract: A hydraulic force control system is disclosed for controlling the clamping force applied to a load by the clamp arms of a clamping attachment of a load-lifting vehicle to prevent the arms from over- or under-clamping the load. The system includes a force control circuit interposed between the vehicle's conventional hydraulic circuit and clamp cylinders of the attachment that operate the arms. When a manual control valve in the conventional circuit is moved to operate the clamp arms, a load sense cylinder in the control circuit lifts a load carriage of the attachment, causing the pressure side of the sense cylinder to sense the weight on the load carriage. Carriage movement actuates a sequence valve in the control circuit to hydraulically connect the pressure sides of said sense and clamp cylinders so that clamping force applied to a load by the clamp arms is proportionate to the weight of the load.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2005Publication date: April 6, 2006Inventor: Daniel Chase
