Publication number: 20230285727Abstract: A device for targeted delivery of a substance to an airway may include a conduit and at least two applicators. The conduit may include a proximal end and a bifurcated distal portion having two distal ends. Each applicator may be coupled with one of the distal ends of the conduit and may be configured to direct the substance out of the applicator toward one of two sides of an airway. A method for targeted delivery of a substance to an airway may involve advancing a substance delivery device into the airway, contacting two sides of the airway with at least two applicators of the substance delivery device, such that each applicator contacts the airway near a glossopharyngeal nerve and/or a superior laryngeal nerve on each of the two sides of the airway, and delivering the substance through the applicators to contact the airway along the two sides.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Rush L. BARTLETT, II, Ryan J.F. Van Wert, Stephen J. Ruoss, Amy E. Bartlett

Patent number: 11281887Abstract: A method for enhancing efficiency of a computerized electronic signature system by facilitating collection of signatures from multiple signatories is described. The method may initially involve verifying an identity of a first signatory by receiving data from the first signatory electronically, providing a document to the first signatory, receiving a first electronic signature on the document from the first signatory, and receiving a selection from the first signatory of a second signatory to sign the document as a witness. The method may then involve verifying an identity of the second signatory by receiving data from the second signatory electronically, providing the document to the second signatory, receiving a second electronic signature from the second signatory, providing a completed document, including the first signature and the second signature, and notifying the first signatory and the second signatory that the completed document is completed.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2018Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Vynca, INC.Inventors: Rush L.

Publication number: 20210266366Abstract: Systems, methods, architectures, and computer program products for linking multiple devices are disclosed. In an example for linking a mobile device with a desktop device, an identifier of a mobile device can be received from a desktop computer. The identifier can be used to send a link to the mobile device. When the link is accessed, a code and a channel are generated. The mobile device is connected to the channel and the code is provided to the mobile device. The code is entered at the desktop device and the desktop device is connected to the channel responsive to the code being validated, thereby linking the desktop and mobile devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2020Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: Rush L.
