Publication number: 20180363297Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include structural decking systems with at least a four-layered seam and methods for manufacturing and assembling structural decking systems with at least four-layered seams. The decking panels may be provided with an edge having an exposed “male lip” with two layers, and an opposite edge having a “female lip” with two layers. Individual panels may be coupled together by placing the female lip of a first panel over the male lip of an adjacent panel, thus creating an unjoined seam. In order to couple the panels together, the panels may be secured through various couplings configurations. The couplings may be formed by deforming, cutting, and/or welding the seam. Not only do the couplings help prevent vertical separation between adjacent panels, the couplings minimize lateral shifting along the seam, and ensure a desired level of shear strength in the seam and across the structural decking system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2017Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: Brian Hansen Bogh, Christopher Lawrence Brown, Jeffrey Reino Martin

Patent number: 10143576Abstract: A stent graft has a tubular body with a first bifurcation with first and second legs extending from the bifurcation. One of the legs has a further bifurcation to define a side arm. The stent graft can be deployed into the vasculature of a patient with the tubular body being in an aorta of the patient, a first leg extending down an iliac artery, a second leg being directed towards a contralateral iliac artery and the side arm directed to an internal artery of one of the iliac arteries. One of the legs can include a valved aperture to enable the placement of an indwelling catheter therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignees: Cook Medical Technologies LLC, The Cleveland Clinic FoundationInventors: Roy K.

Patent number: 10109971Abstract: Portable, hand held, battery operated, dieless, hydraulic crimping tools are provided with a working head and a tool frame. The working head has a head frame with an open access to a working area of the working head. The open access may be in the form of a C-shape. The working head has a nest to receive a crimping member. An indentor is attached to a piston within the tool frame. The piston moves the indentor between a home position adjacent the tool frame and an indenting position where the indentor impacts the crimping member.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: John David Lefavour, Thomas Romeo Faucher, Lawrence Brown

Publication number: 20180229316Abstract: The present invention relates to a tool for forming a joint in an interlocking side-lapped seam formed between first and second structural decking panels. The decking tool may include a frame, actuator, and arms with jaws, wherein the actuator forms a structural component of the decking tool and is located between the frame and the arms with the jaws. Moreover, the decking tool may further comprise one or more shields and jaw guards. The one or more shields may cover the arms on at least one side for protection. The one or more jaw guards may be utilized with or without the shields, and may or may not be integral with the shields. The one or more jaw guards have a number of benefits, such as protecting the jaws, positioning the jaws, being utilized as levers to help remove the jaws, and being utilized to prevent separation of the side-lap seam.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2018Publication date: August 16, 2018Inventor: Christopher Lawrence Brown

Publication number: 20180195283Abstract: The invention relates to structural panel systems with at least a four-layered generally in-plane sidelap, at least a three layer generally in-plane sidelap, or corner sidelaps of various layers, and methods for manufacturing and assembling structural panel systems with these types of sidelaps. The structural panels may be provided with an edge having a “lower lip” with two layers, and an opposite edge having an “upper lip” with two layers. Individual panels may be coupled together by placing the upper lip of a first panel over the lower lip of an adjacent panel, thus creating an un-joined sidelap. The lips may have nested portions for helping to place one lip over the other. The panels may be operatively coupled through various couplings configurations, such as fasteners, welding, cutting the sidelap, or the like. The present invention improves the shear strength of the structural panel system and reduces costs.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2018Publication date: July 12, 2018Inventors: Brian Hansen Bogh, Christopher Lawrence Brown, Jeffrey Reino Martin

Publication number: 20170312648Abstract: Apparatus and methods for safe-heated transformation of one or more two- or three-dimensional craft objects (FIG. 1). A color or symbol coded push-button control panel allows for the execution of a complete cycle of use for a particular craft object with little or no opportunity for operator error. For example, pressing a single button would control the temperature, time of heating, time of cool down, and locking of the access door to the heated object until after the cool down period is complete, thereby providing for effective and safe completion of a correspondingly coded craft object.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2015Publication date: November 2, 2017Inventors: Suzanne Brown, Lawrence Brown

Patent number: 9727593Abstract: This disclosure relates to database systems and, more particularly, to database systems with version controlled data. A version controlled database program resides on a computer readable medium, having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations include defining a version object software layer. The version object software layer may be configured to read and write data of a version controlled database to a physical storage medium, maintain one or more versions of at least one element of the data, and provide access to the data. The operations may also include defining a database management software layer. The database management software layer may be configured to read and write data to the version object software layer and provide a database access interface for accessing the data.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2013Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: David Lawrence Brown

Publication number: 20170216013Abstract: A stent graft (2) for placement in the thoracic arch of a patient has a first tubular body portion (6) with a first lumen therein for placement in the ascending aorta of a patient and a second tubular body portion (8) to extend along the thoracic arch and down the descending aorta. The second tubular body portion is of a lesser diameter than the first tubular body portion. There is a step portion (10) between the first body portion and the second body portion. The step portion is joined to and continuous with the first portion and the second portion. A first side of each of the first body portion, the step portion and the second body portion are substantially aligned so that there is a step (18) defined on a second side opposite to the first side of the body portion. There is an aperture (30) in the step portion and an internal tube (32) extending from the aperture towards the first body portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2017Publication date: August 3, 2017Applicants: COOK MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, THE CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATIONInventors: David E.
