Patent number: 11980408Abstract: An intravascular catheter for peri-vascular and/or peri-urethral tissue ablation includes multiple needles advanced through supported guide tubes which expand with open ends around a central axis to engage the interior surface of the wall of the renal artery or other vessel of a human body allowing the injection an ablative fluid for ablating tissue, and/or nerve fibers in the outer layer or deep to the outer layer of the vessel, or in prostatic tissue. The system also includes means to limit and/or adjust the depth of penetration of the ablative fluid into and beyond the tissue of the vessel wall. The preferred embodiment of the catheter includes structures which provide radial and lateral support to the guide tubes so that the guide tubes open uniformly and maintain their position against the interior surface of the vessel wall as the sharpened injection needles are advanced to penetrate into the vessel wall.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2019Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Ablative Solutions, Inc.Inventors: David R.

Publication number: 20210092933Abstract: The present invention relates to new methods of selecting and breeding organisms, in particular organisms which exhibit symbiotic behaviour with symbionts, and to new organisms and symbiota developed thereby, such as plant or grass and endophyte symbiota. Multiple symbionts are deployed in multiple organsims and selected for improved symbiotic compatibility and performance early in the breeding process. Methods include producing improved organisms from germplasm, by inoculating host organism germplasm libraries with symbionts seleced from symbiont libraries and selecting improved host organisms exhibiting desired symbiota characteristics, and selection of organism-symbiont associations with a desired genetic and metabolic profile by metagenomic analysis of nucleic acid libraries from an organism or organism-symbiont.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2020Publication date: April 1, 2021Applicant: Agriculture Victoria Services PTY LTDInventors: German Carlos Spangenberg, John White Forster, Noel Cogan, Yidong Ran, John Gregory Mason, Timothy Ivor Sawbridge, Ben Hayes, Matthew James Hayden, Kathryn Michaela Guthridge, Simone Jane Rochfort, Ben Cocks, Hans Dieter Daetwyler
