Patent number: 11928188Abstract: A machine has a network interface circuit to provide connectivity to networked machines. A processor is connected to the network interface circuit. A memory is connected to the processor and the network interface circuit. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to record the purchase of a digital asset by a user at a client machine from a data source machine in network communication with the client machine. The location of the digital asset on one or more machines of the networked machines is archived. The location is separate from the data source machine. The digital asset is associated with a data access policy. A request for the digital asset is received. The data access policy is enforced through programmatic control utilized by one or more of the networked machines to form a consent state. Distribution of the digital asset to a networked machine is authorized in response to the consent state.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Anonyome Labs, Inc.Inventors: Steven Harvey McCown, Paul Ashley, Neil Readshaw, John David Mumford, Tim Bartley

Publication number: 20240024151Abstract: A medical appliance is configured with material that creates a fluid barrier with interior walls of a stoma on a patient. These configurations may include an annular disc with a stem on one side that inserts into the stoma. The material may reside on the stem, for example, in the form of a replaceable hollow tube that covers at least part of the stem. On the other side, a rotatable spigot inserts into a recess. The rotatable spigot has a first position that forms a flow path through the stem and the annular disc to allow waste to drain from the stoma. In one implementation, the rotatable spigot can couple with a collection device that receives the waste. The patient can return the rotatable spigot to a second position to prevent flow of waste.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Robert C.

Publication number: 20220346772Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for endoscopically retracting a target tissue. The device includes a first shaft and a second shaft slidably coupled thereto. An internal member extends in a transverse direction from the first shaft and is configured for advancement through a penetration in the target tissue to atraumatically engage a distal surface of the target tissue after being advanced therethrough. A pair of external members extend from the second shaft generally parallel to the transverse direction. The external members are spaced apart and are configured to atraumatically engage a proximal surface of the target tissue when the internal member is moved longitudinally relative to the external members. The internal member applies traction to the target tissue when retracted past the pair of external members, which apply counter-traction to the target tissue on opposing lateral sides of the internal member, to re-shape the target tissue and enable subsequent suture placement.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2022Publication date: November 3, 2022Applicant: MITRx, Inc.Inventors: Albert K.

Publication number: 20210322060Abstract: Spinal curvature modulation systems, methods and related devices and instrumentation are disclosed, which include a flexible tether, a tether tensioning unit and bone anchors for the flexible tether that allow the tether to be secured across multiple vertebrae in a region of treatment. When the flexible tether is attached to multiple vertebrae, it can be used to correct spinal deformities. Tension in the flexible tether is adjustable transcutaneously without invasive surgical procedures by use of remotely driven actuators, such as a magnet-driven motor, or by a small tool insertable through a small incision. Disclosed systems and methods thus allow for multiple adjustments of tether tension, and spinal curvature, over time without repeated, highly invasive, spinal surgeries.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: John Barrett, Murali Kadaba, John Ashley, Damien Shulock
