Publication number: 20240104611Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein provide recommendations of content based on user selections of curated review responses. A system can provide a set of curated response candidates and a related question to users providing a review of a product. The set of curated response candidates are selected based on a category that is determined by one or more factors. For example, if a user is to provide a review on a video game, the category can be based on aspects of the video game, such as visual features, game play features, etc. A user can respond to the question by selecting at least one of the curated response candidates. The system can then analyze a data structure that associates the selected response to one or more characteristics to determine characteristics that are preferred by the user. The system can then use the characteristics to recommend other content.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Eric Warner TAYLOR, Aaron John Mayer BUCKLEY, Jesse Dylan MERRIAM

Patent number: 9555185Abstract: A biomedical haemostatic powder dispenser (1) by which individual doses of powdered medication that are stored in respective chambers of a rotatable carousel (22) are fluidized for delivery to a targeted treatment site (e.g., a wound in order to stop bleeding). In particular, a squeeze handle (7) is activated (i.e., depressed) so as to cause a blast of gas under pressure to be applied from a gas reservoir (30) to a particular one of the powder-filled chambers of the medication carousel so that a single measured dose of medication is entrained and delivered to the patient. At the same time that the squeeze handle is activated, the medication carousel is rotated so that a different powder-filled chamber is moved within a fluid path between the gas reservoir and an outlet nozzle tube (10) of the dispenser and a kit for dispensing a powder.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2012Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: BIOM'UPInventors: Clark Foster, David Mishelevich, Eric Warner, Aaron Gifford

METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DEVICES FOR PERMANENT ACCESS TO THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM FOR CHRONIC HEMODIALYSIS
Publication number: 20120053673Abstract: The system and method provide ways to achieve vascular access, e.g., for chronic hemodialysis. The system includes a port which may be bonded to a vascular graft which is installed between an artery and vein. A movable seal occludes a lumen of the port which when deployed allows access to the blood flow, allowing hemodialysis. A stent may be employed with an extension that is part of the graft. A connector may lock on to the port to deploy the seal to make a connection between the patient and a dialyzer. A cap may cover the port and seal for sterility. Methods of using the system are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2011Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicant: IMTEC BIOMEDICAL INC.Inventors: Arthur L. Golding, Daniel Allen Cota, Eric Warner -
Patent number: 8020415Abstract: A tamper-resistant pill bottle for securely storing a quantity of medication.

The combination lock includes a series of combination wheels that partially protrude through a sidewall of the cap and can be rotatably manipulated by a user. The combination for the combination lock can be set by a user upon receipt of the pill bottle. The pill bottle further includes an inconspicuous defeat mechanism integral with the cap for allowing the pill bottle to be opened, preferably by a pharmacist, if a user forgets the combination of the combination lock.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2009Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Inventors: Stampp W.

Publication number: 20100152640Abstract: Methods and systems are described for creating chronic vascular access or hemodialysis. These methods and systems eliminate the insertion of needles which are now required for using the available methods of obtaining vascular access. Thus multiple complications due to needle insertion through skin, tissue, and vein or graft wall are prevented. A low-profile stable transcutaneous implant's external surface and stability minimizes infection. The implant is readily joined to a connector device that functions substantially automatically and which provides high blood flow volumes for hemodialysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2009Publication date: June 17, 2010Applicant: IMTECBIOMEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Arthur L.

Patent number: 5601420Abstract: An interlock, latching and retaining mechanism for use in an infusion system, embodying a latch arm mounted to a rotatable shaft having a plurality of cams and gears attached thereto, a rectangular faceplate with a plurality of apertures formed therethrough, and a clamp. Rotating the latch arm functions to engage fluid monitoring, flow control and pumping structure of the infusion system with a pumping segment for control of fluid flow through the segment and also causes the clamp to hold the pumping segment in a required position. In another aspect, rotation of the latch arm additionally causes an air-in-line sensor to rotate into position on the pumping segment.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1994Date of Patent: February 11, 1997Assignee: IVAC Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Eric A. Warner, Don S. Minami, Paul L. Howard, Phillip M. Hobson

Patent number: 5542826Abstract: A fluid delivery system in which the pressure platen for a fluid conduit is fixedly mounted to the pump and the pumping mechanism is movable in relation to the platen to control the force exerted on the conduit. A mounting system comprising a four-bar linkage retains the movable pumping mechanism in a predetermined orientation to the conduit through the mechanism's range of movement. The pumping mechanism is spring loaded towards the conduit. The peristaltic fingers of the pump mechanism are located in guides with the drive means for those fingers rigidly mounted to that guide. Should the movements of one or more fingers through the respective guide be prevented, the drive means will be stopped from movement and the pumping mechanism will stall rather than back off and allow free flow.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1994Date of Patent: August 6, 1996Assignee: IVAC CorporationInventor: Eric A. Warner

Patent number: 5537853Abstract: An air-in-line sensing apparatus for use with a parenteral fluid administration set to detect the passage of air through a fluid conduit. The apparatus comprises a first housing having a first arcuate section mounting a first transducer adjacent the first arcuate section and a second housing having a second arcuate section mounting a second transducer adjacent the second arcuate section. One housing is independently movable relative to the other housing so that when the movable housing is moved towards the other housing, the first and second arcuate sections capture a length of administration set tubing therebetween providing secure intimate contact therewith. A signal may be generated from one of such transducers, passed through the fluid conduit and received by the other transducer to detect whether the conduit is carrying air.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1994Date of Patent: July 23, 1996Assignee: IVAC CorporationInventors: Simon E. Finburgh, Matthew G. Morris, Eric A. Warner

Patent number: 5534691Abstract: A drive member of a peristaltic pumping mechanism includes a disk that rotates with the drive member and has two transparent sectors and two opaque sectors alternating with the transparent sectors. As a stepper motor rotates the drive member to pump fluid, a single optical sensor senses the disk and provides signals indicative of whether a transparent sector or opaque sector is being detected. A processor counts the number of motor steps in the detected transparent or opaque sector and based on the number of counted steps in a type of sector detected or the number of steps counted when a state change to the other type of sector occurs, determines the motor position. In another aspect, the position disk is integrally formed as a single piece with the cams and cam shaft of a pumping mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1994Date of Patent: July 9, 1996Assignee: IVAC CorporationInventors: Charles R. Holdaway, Eric A. Warner
