  • Publication number: 20170007263
    Abstract: Methods for treatment of aneurysms using a sequential manifold console to deploy multiple filling structures are provided herein. In one aspect, aneurysms are treated by simultaneously filling two double-walled filling structure using a sequential manifold console to guide a user in the steps to be followed in the procedure and to reliably achieve a consistent and durable aneurysmal treatment using a curable medium. The structures may be delivered over balloon deployment mechanisms in order to shape and open tubular lumens therethrough. Pairs of filling structures delivered to the aneurysm from different access openings of a patient can be simultaneously prepared and pressurized from a single treatment console when treating abdominal aortic aneurysms using the described systems and methods.

  • Patent number: 9254436
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for presenting Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) in an online game. In one method, a player becomes a “regular” visitor of a friend when the player visits the friend a predetermined amount of times within a certain period (e.g., three times within the last seven days). When a player becomes a regular visitor, the player may obtain items (e.g., pepper) that are not obtainable in any other way. As long as a player is a regular visitor, the player may continue visiting the friend to continue obtaining the special items. However, if the player falls below the threshold of visits required within the period, the status of regular visitor is lost by the player, and the player may regain the regular status by meeting the requirement again.

  • Publication number: 20140317171
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for user interface navigation may facilitate altering the output of a user interface in response to a predetermined action. Methods and apparatus for user interface navigation may cause a user interface presenting a first resource to present a static and/or dynamically created landing resource upon a user performing a predetermined action. The landing resource may comprise a website, an application, and the like. Methods and apparatus for user interface navigation may cause the user interface to present a return resource to the user upon the user performing the same or different predetermined action. In some embodiments, the return resource may comprise the first resource.

  • Publication number: 20140024449
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for presenting Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) in an online game. In one method, a “throw in the ingredients” animation is performed to place ingredients into a cooking appliance (e.g., a grill). Each time the player clicks on an ingredient, the ingredient goes into the cooking appliance. In one example, the last item has a special flair or a colorful animation indicating that the dish is ready to be cooked. In another interface, the user is given an option by the game to “show me” which teaches the player how to get that ingredient. The interface may also show which friends have the desired ingredient, and if the player clicks one of the friends, a game request is sent to the friend for the needed ingredient.
