Patent number: 11974919Abstract: Delivery devices for delivery of a stented prosthetic heart valve. Various delivery devices include an outer sheath assembly including an outer sheath connected to a capsule that is advanced proximally to retain the prosthetic valve, which is secured over an inner shaft assembly of the delivery device. The delivery device further includes a bumper to provide a smooth transition of the capsule over the prosthetic valve during loading and recapture procedures. The bumper is expandable from a first position to a second position in which a distal end of the bumper is expanded to increase its diameter. The bumper can be biased in the second, expanded position so that the bumper automatically transitions to the expanded position upon retraction of the outer sheath.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: MEDTRONIC VASCULAR, INC.Inventors: Don Tran, Martha Barajas-Torres, James Mitchell, Leonel Mendoza, Siyan Som, Jill Mendelson, David Grossman

Patent number: 11977054Abstract: Systems for ultrasonic measurements of an inspection surface is described. An inspection robot with a payload moves in a direction of travel across an inspection surface. The payload has two sensor holders, the first sensor holder to hold a first UT array at a first orientation and the second to hold a second UT array at a second orientation A sensor holder linking component holds the two UT phased arrays in a parallel configuration along their long edges. An arm of the payload may be pivotably connected to both the sensor linking component at one end and a lift connection element on the other end. The lift component has a lift motor to raise the lift connection element. A rastering device moves the payload in a direction of inspection which is distinct from both the direction of travel and the parallel configuration of the two phased UT arrays.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Gecko Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Chase David, Jose Aparicio, Kevin Y. Low, Edward A. Bryner, Troy Demmer, Juan Roberto Mendoza Mora, Scott Ashley Corl

Patent number: 11971389Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for ultra-sonic inspection of a surface are described. An example system may include an inspection robot structured to move in a direction of travel on an inspection surface. The inspection robot may include a payload including a first ultrasonic (UT) phased array and a second UT phased array, the first UT phased array and the second UT phased array being arranged in a parallel configuration. The inspection robot may include a rastering device structured to move the payload in a direction of inspection, the direction of inspection being distinct from the direction of travel and the direction of inspection being distinct from the parallel configuration of the first UT phased array and the second UT phased array.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Gecko Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Chase David, Jose Aparicio, Juan Roberto Mendoza Mora, Kevin Y. Low, Troy Demmer, Edward A. Bryner, Scott Ashley Corl

Patent number: 10355264Abstract: A battery is provided with a battery cover having a first cover mold insert and a second cover mold insert which are interchangeable in the cover prior to molding depending at least in part on the battery's polarity configuration. The first cover mold insert has a bushing that is relatively different in dimension, size and/or shape than the bushing of the second cover mold insert, such that each bushing is adapted to receive a cast-on-strap post of a relatively different dimension, size and/or shape. The first cover mold insert may also have a terminal that is relatively different in dimension, size and/or shape than the terminal of the second cover mold insert, such that each terminal is adapted to engage a formation connector contact of a relatively different dimension, size and/or shape.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2010Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: CPS Technology Holdings LLCInventors: William J. Ross, David Mendoza, Brian DeGuzman

Patent number: 9799871Abstract: Separators for use in batteries are disclosed. In various embodiments, the separators include one or more of raised shoulders, ribs in three or more sizes, thickened mini-ribs on shoulders, and ribs within the shoulder. The disclosed separators are more resistant to failure due to punctures or tears than conventional separators.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2009Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Thom Pfanner, William J. Ross, David Mendoza, Frank-Thomas Johns, Jerome R. Heiman, Michael E. La Croix, Carlos M. Aguilar, Maumi Tsurumaki

Publication number: 20030133014Abstract: A rearview camera and display system for a motor vehicle which comprises a low light level, wide angle camera mounted securely in a hitch cover which receives power from the hitch power plug, and supplies said power and video signal with blind spot information to a display monitor located in the vicinity of the rear view mirror area near the driver. The secure and locked placement of camera and hitch cover in a substantially flush configuration with the rear of the motor vehicle greatly less the opportunity for damage to the invention due to rear moving accidents and vandalism.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2003Publication date: July 17, 2003Inventor: David Mendoza
