Patent number: 8709028Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a device for facilitating treatment via a vascular wall defining a vascular lumen containing an occlusion therein. The device includes an intravascular device including a shaft having a distal end and a proximal end. The device includes a handle assembly fixed about the proximal end of the shaft, the handle assembly including a first portion. Rotation of the first portion in a first direction about a longitudinal axis of the shaft causes rotation of the shaft in the first direction when a torque applied by the first portion to the shaft is below a first maximum torque. Further rotation of the first portion in the first direction about a longitudinal axis of the shaft does not cause rotation of the shaft in the first direction when the torque applied by the first portion to the shaft is equal to or above the first maximum torque.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2013Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Bridgepoint Medical, Inc.Inventors: David Bryan Robinson, Chad John Kugler, Matthew Jonathan Olson, Ross Arlen Olson, Peter Alan Jacobs

Patent number: 7644459Abstract: A cushion or pillow device may comprise first and second tubular members joined at respective lateral portions to define valleys between the tubular members. The tubular members may comprise an outer covering and an inner portion comprising a pliable filler. The outer covering may be fabric that is joined to define the tubular members. The outer covering may be closed to contain the pliable filler. The outer cover may also have open ends for receiving inserts containing pliable filler that are placed within the outer covering. The cushion or pillow device may be manufactured in a number of manners, such as by joining of a fabric or another material to define sleeves, or by molding. The cushion or pillow device may be inserted in a case having an elongate portion for tucking between the frame and mattress of a gurney, hospital bed or the like.

Patent number: 7549636Abstract: In one embodiment a media ejection system is disclosed for a printer having a stationary print head and a moveable shuttle configured to hold print media via vacuum pressure while moving the print media past the print head. The media ejection system includes a vacuum release valve, actuable to release vacuum pressure in the shuttle, and a lifter, coupled to the vacuum release valve. The lifter is actuable to mechanically lift the print media from the shuttle, and to simultaneously open the vacuum release valve. In another embodiment, a method for ejecting print media from a moveable shuttle is disclosed. The method includes mechanically lifting the print media from the shuttle and simultaneously substantially equalizing pressure above and below the print media.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Geoffrey Schmid, Jonathan Olson

Publication number: 20090042236Abstract: MohC is required for expression of uptake hydrogenase in A. vinelandii and inactivation of this gene results in H2 evolution via nitrogenase 3. Since MohC? mutants are tungsten tolerant under nitrogen-fixing conditions, tungsten can be used to select spontaneous tungsten-tolerant mutants of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that are genetically uncharacterized. A major advantage of producing H2 via nitrogenase 3 is that carbon substrates used to culture the nitrogen-fixing bacteria harboring this nitrogenase are derived from plant sources.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2008Publication date: February 12, 2009Inventors: Paul E. Bishop, Telisa M. Loveless, Jonathan Olson, Jose M. Bruno-Barcena
