Patent number: 11931047Abstract: An osteotomy procedure may be performed to correct a misalignment of a bone, such as a bunion deformity. In some examples, the osteotomy procedure involves making a spherical-shaped cut transecting a first metatarsal, thereby forming a first metatarsal portion having a spherical-shaped projection and a second metatarsal portion having a spherical-shaped recess. The method further involves moving the second metatarsal portion in at least two planes relative to the first metatarsal portion, thereby adjusting an anatomical alignment of the second metatarsal portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Treace Medical Concepts, Inc.Inventors: F. Barry Bays, Joe W. Ferguson, Carlos Eduardo Gil, Tyler Hissong, Danielle Peterson, Sean F. Scanlan, Michael Stedham, Justin Valentine

Publication number: 20110087197Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for instilling fluid into a patient having an intestinal stoma so as to administer an antegrade colonic enema. The portable instillation apparatus comprising in combination: a fluid reservoir, a pump assembly, a control module, a fluid delivery tube and an intestinal stoma catheter wherein the control module is operable to automatically deliver a predetermined volume of instillation fluid at a specific flow rate and pressure range suitable for a particular patient. The portable instillation apparatus utilities a gear pump manifold and a robust empty reservoir detection mechanism, facilitating the portability, durability and reliability of the apparatus over-coming the disadvantages of traditional peristaltic pump mechanisms. The portable instillation apparatus maximizes the ease of transport and use of the device while also enabling a method for a patient to self-administer an antegrade colonic enema within a short time period and without intervention.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2008Publication date: April 14, 2011Inventors: Bruno Mombrinie, Jeff Brian Eidsen, Cindy Carol Eidsen, Joe Peterson, Robert Davis

System and method for identifying and announcing a caller and a callee of an incoming telephone call
Patent number: 6385303Abstract: The present invention comprises a telephone system and method that identify and announce the caller and/or the callee of an incoming telephone call. After receiving a telephone call from a caller, the telephone system answers the incoming telephone call. The identity of the caller is then determined. The telephone system prompts the caller to say his/her name. The name is recorded and repeatedly played back through a built-in speaker announcing the name of the caller to the users of the telephone. The telephone system may also ask the caller to say the name of the callee. In that case, the name of the callee is also recorded and repeatedly played back. The name of the caller and the name of the callee are both announced to the users of the telephone.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1997Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Legerity, Inc.Inventors: Joe Peterson, Bob Dildy, David Borland -
Publication number: 20010003828Abstract: A client-based system has a scheduling subsystem to schedule a time to obtain the Web content from the server. When the client reaches the scheduled time, the scheduling subsystem generates an event notification that contains sufficient information explaining how to retrieve the Web content. The client-based system has a delivery subsystem that is responsive to the event notification to obtain the Web content at the time set by the scheduling subsystem. The delivery subsystem preferably has multiple delivery modules that enable different types of distribution mechanism. In addition to the Web content or data itself, the delivery subsystem obtains an index to the Web content. The index summarizes the Web content to facilitate local search and find tasks. The index and Web content are stored in a cache at the client. An indexing subsystem presents the index to a user and enables the user to select from the index portions of the Web content that they prefer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 1997Publication date: June 14, 2001Inventors: JOE PETERSON, STEVE FREEDMAN, HADI PARTOVI, RAYMOND E. ENDRES, DAVID J. D'SOUZA, ERIK CASTEDO ELLERMAN, JULIAN P. JIGGENS

Patent number: 6128382Abstract: The present invention comprises an improved telephone system and method that enable a caller to leave a message on a telephone without the telephone first generating a ring sound. The telephone receives an incoming telephone call from a caller, and if the ring/message option feature is enabled, the telephone answers the incoming telephone call. The telephone answers the incoming telephone call prior to the telephone generating a ring sound. The caller is then given the choice by the telephone to either access an answering machine in order to leave a message or have the telephone generate a ring sound in order to alert the user or users to the incoming telephone call. If the caller chooses to leave a message, the telephone transfers control to an answering machine unit which plays a message requesting the caller to leave a message after the answering machine unit generates a characteristic tone.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1997Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: David Borland, Joe Peterson
