Publication number: 20200090061Abstract: A knowledge interface is provided that interacts with a user to identify a solution to a customer problem or issue with respect to a particular product or service. The knowledge interface includes data processing functionality configured to dynamically generate a number of components that are presented in at least one display window for display to the user. The components include first data identifying a set of predetermined symptoms linked to the problem or issue and related interface elements for classification of the set of predetermined symptoms, second data identifying a set of predetermined root causes linked to the set of predetermined symptoms and related interface elements for classification of the set of predetermined root causes, and third data identifying a set of solutions linked to the set of predetermined root causes. The third data identifies a best solution based upon the predetermined root causes and their associated class designations.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2019Publication date: March 19, 2020Applicant: Conduent Business Services, LLCInventors: Edward Charles Southey, Timothy John Forsyth, Mark Piper, David John Butt, Paul Martin Wallingford, Daniel James Griffin, Jeremy J.

Patent number: 10542996Abstract: In some examples, a vessel closure system includes a catheter configured to be introduced into a vessel of a patient, the catheter defining a catheter lumen, and a closure device configured to be received within the catheter lumen. In some instances, the closure device may include an elongated flexible member and one or more anchors attached to the elongated flexible member. The anchors may be distributed along a length of the elongated flexible member, and each anchor may include an anchor head configured to be introduced into a wall of the vessel and engage with the wall of the vessel to cause the wall to move radially inward in response to a proximal pulling force applied to the elongated flexible member.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2017Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Martin Willard, Benjamin Breit, James Griffin

Publication number: 20190290419Abstract: A method of anchoring a prosthesis includes deploying the prosthesis in a vessel. A delivery system including an anchor constrained within a delivery sheath is advanced to the prosthesis. The prosthesis and a vessel wall of the vessel are penetrated with a leading tip of an exterior tine of the anchor, wherein the exterior tine unfolds upon passing through the prosthesis and the vessel wall. An interior tine is deployed within the prosthesis and vessel wall. In the final deployed state, the exterior tine is exterior to and adjacent the vessel wall, the interior tine is interior to and adjacent the prosthesis, and a tine connector of the anchor extends through the vessel wall and the prosthesis.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2018Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventors: Martin Willard, Benjamin J.

Patent number: 9891907Abstract: Device component status detection and illustration apparatuses, methods, and systems determine and generate visualizations of updates timelines indicating device components associated with a remote connected device at different times. A device component status detection and illustration apparatus may include a memory and processor with instructions to: obtain device selection parameters, determine one or more remote connected devices that satisfy the device selection parameters, and identify a remote connected device selected from one or more remote connected devices by a user. The instructions may further be executed to generate visualizations of updates timelines associated with the remote connected device, including information regarding device components associated with the identified remote connected device as of selected update times. This allows the apparatus to present information regarding the status of a particular device at different points in time.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Harman Connected Services, Inc.Inventors: Mark Douglas Searle, Owen James Griffin, Robert Franz Klaus Kempf

Patent number: 9747096Abstract: The Remote Embedded Device Update Platform Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“REDUP”) transforms telemetry inputs via REDUP components into remote embedded updates outputs. The REDUP may include a memory and processor with instructions to: obtain a remote embedded device connection request message from a remote embedded device and analyze the message to determine a version of embedded instructions on the remote embedded device. With that, the REDUP may determine if other remote embedded devices similar to the remote embedded device have provided request messages by searching a remote embedded device connection request message database. This allows the REDUP to determine if a potential issue requiring updates on the remote embedded device exists. With that, the REDUP may determine and provide an update for the remote embedded device.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Harman Connected Services, Inc.Inventors: Mark Douglas Searle, Owen James Griffin, Robert Franz Klaus Kempf

Patent number: 9290916Abstract: A removable hydrant nozzle with a locking arrangement for securing the nozzle in a nozzle opening. The locking arrangement includes an axially movable slide configured to selectively engage a portion of the hydrant adjacent the nozzle opening, such as a lug mouth in a quarter-turn fitting. The slide is mounted to a slide housing and is spring loaded. In use, the slide automatically retracts as the nozzle is inserted into the nozzle opening and automatically extends into locking engagement with the mouth when the nozzle becomes fully seated. Once engaged, the slide prevents removal of the nozzle until manually disengaged. The slide may be movably mounted on a pair of shoulder bolts. The slide may include a paddle that extends outwardly where it is accessible to the operator. The nozzle may include a handle and a seal fitted onto the inner axial end of the nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2014Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: EJ USA, Inc.Inventors: Eric Nelson Hoogerhyde, Patrick Francis Brennan, Bryan James Griffin, Kyle Thomas Peters
