Publication number: 20220346987Abstract: A stent-graft (20) comprises strut members (30) and a graft member (32), which is fixed to the strut members (30). The strut members (30) and the graft member (32) are arranged so as to define, when the stent-graft (20) is in a radially-expanded state: a main tube (40), which is shaped so as to define a main lumen (42); and a lateral tube (50), which (a) has (i) a distal end (52) and (ii) a proximal end (54) that is joined to a lateral wall (56) of the main tube (40) at a junction (60), (b) is shaped so as to define a lateral lumen (62) that is in fluid communication with the main lumen (42), and (c) defines a central longitudinal axis (64). The strut members (30) that define the lateral tube (50) are shaped so as to define two to four non-contiguous arcuate members (70), which (a) are centered around the central longitudinal axis (64), and (b) collectively subtend at least 150 degrees around the central longitudinal axis (64).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2022Publication date: November 3, 2022Applicant: ENDOSPAN LTD.Inventors: Yaniv MARMUR, Nir Shalom NAE, Alon SHALEV

Patent number: 9990514Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for managing collaborative electronic data that is owned by two different users who belong to different organizations. Both users are also granted ownership rights of collaborative electronic data created by the users. Users then contribute to the collaborative electronic data by providing information that may be confidential to their organization. The users want to ensure that they can cut off access to the confidential information if and when the relationship between the users or organizations sours. When one of the users with ownership privileges decides to end the cooperation with the other users, that user simply revokes access to the collaborative electronic data to the other user. As a result of the revocation all users are no longer able to see or access at least a portion of the collaborative electronic data to protect confidential information of all the parties.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2017Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Yair Cohen, Nir Winter, Nir Shalom Soudry

Patent number: 9609032Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for managing a collaborative document that is owned by two different users who belong to different organizations. The users first create a document that will be owned by both users. Both users are also granted full ownership rights in the document. The users then contribute to the document by providing information that may be confidential to their organization. The users want to ensure that they can cut off access to the confidential information if and when the relationship between the users or organizations sours. When one of the users with full ownership privileges decides to end the cooperation with the other users, that user simply revokes access to the document to the other user. As a result of the revocation all users are no longer able to see or access the entire document. In this way the confidential information of all parties is protected.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2014Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Yair Cohen, Nir Winter, Nir Shalom Soudry

Patent number: 9179646Abstract: A walking aid for a four-legged animal having disabled hind legs comprises an engagement member for engaging a body portion between fore legs and hind legs of the animal; a collapsible resting mechanism connected to the engagement member and to at least one wheel assembly in contact with an underlying surface; and a locking mechanism operatively connectable to the at least one wheel assembly in such a way that the at least one wheel assembly is freely rotatable during forward motion of said walking aid but is rotationally immobilizable following rearward motion of the walking aid. The resting mechanism is operational to facilitate movement from a walking state to a resting state or from a resting state to a walking state only when the at least one wheel assembly is rotationally immobilized.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignees: NEKUDA D.M.
