Patent number: 11759583Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing pathogens near an implant are discussed. In some cases, the methods include reducing contaminants in a portion of a patient that has an implant and that is disposed interior to a closed surface of skin of the patient. The method can further include placing a conduit in the closed surface of skin and flowing an antimicrobial fluid into that portion of the patient to contact the antimicrobial fluid with a surface of the implant and tissue adjacent to the implant. In some cases, the antimicrobial fluid is then removed from the portion of the patient having the implant. As part of this method, biofilm near the implant can be mechanically, ultrasonically, electrically, chemically, enzymatically, or otherwise disrupted. Other implementations are described.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Clyra Medical Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Spencer Brown, Brock Liden, Tanya Rhodes, Joe Almasy, Steven V.

Patent number: 10266966Abstract: A method of bonding a nanofiber web of nanofibers having diameters of between about 50 nanometers and about 2,000 nanometers onto a surface of a woven or nonwoven polymeric media having media fiber diameters of between about 700 nanometers and about 50,000 nanometers utilizes exposing the topmost layer of nanofibers and media fibers to a jet of heated air for a time and at a distance such that substantially only the topmost layer of fibers are bonded. The jet of heated air exits through a nozzle slot having a length of less than about 2 inches in the nanofiber web travel direction. The temperature of the heated air ranges from about 2 to about 10 times the nanofiber melting temperature, and heat air has a nozzle slot velocity of greater than about 500 feet/minute. An adhesive may bond the nanofibers, to a media, which may be bi-component fiber fibers.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2015Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Knovation, Inc.Inventors: John A.

Patent number: 7091845Abstract: A security system incorporating one or more biometric data recognition capabilities in a non-intrusive way to enhance the overall security provided by the system. The biometric recognition may be provided by incorporating one or more cameras in a keypad system wherein the key identifications are altered between uses, and wherein the viewing of the key identifications is sufficiently restricted so that an operator must be adequately aligned with the key identifications when operating the system that reliable biometric data may be automatically obtained during system operation without the need for additional explicit positioning requirements placed upon the user. Other biometric data sensors may also be used if desired. Various embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2003Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Hirsch Electronics CorporationInventors: Lawrence W. Midland, Douglas J. Morgan

Patent number: 5465722Abstract: An acoustical imaging system for producing high resolution medical images provides a method and apparatus for obtaining accurate velocity characterizations of samples within the human body, and for obtaining high resolution images of the samples by utilizing the velocity characterizations of the samples within the human body. The acoustical imaging system also provides a method and apparatus for efficient use of switching channels whereby for a transducer array having a plurality of transducer elements, a set of receiver channels which number less than the number of transducer elements in the array are assigned to a selected portion of the plurality of transducers in the array, wherein for any predetermined set of transducers symmetrically located about a selected transducer, the predetermined set equal in number to the number of receiver channels in the system, each receiver channel in the set of receiver channels is only assigned to one transducer in said predetermined sampling set.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 1994Date of Patent: November 14, 1995Inventors: J. Robert Fort, Norman S. Neidell, Douglas J. Morgan, Phillip C. Landmeier

Patent number: 5274370Abstract: Reduced indicia keyboards for, and high security locks utilizing, key entry of a selectable lock code using a number of keys for the entry of each code element, which number of keys is less than the number of possible variations of that code element. Associated with each key is a code element display, viewable only by one operating the lock, to identify which particular value or variation of the code element is associated with that key at any particular time. By varying the association of the keys and the variations in the code elements, the sequence of key depressions and other observations with respect to the operation of the system without knowledge of the specific indicia associated therewith makes such observations useless in later attempting to operate the lock.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 1991Date of Patent: December 28, 1993Inventors: Douglas J. Morgan, Phillip C. Landmeier
