Patent number: 11918223Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for providing simple, fast, effective, and repeatable anastomotic graft connections, which can reduce (or eliminate) risks associated with graft anastomoses, thus improving patient outcomes. An example embodiment is an anastomotic graft connection device that includes a connector and a cuff. The connector includes a first flared end and a second flared end. The first flared end is configured to be inserted into a vessel (e.g., blood vessel). At least the second flared end is configured to be attached to a graft. The cuff includes an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring is configured to secure the graft to at least the second flared end of the connector, and the outer ring is configured to exert force on the vessel to seal the first flared end of the connector against an inner wall of the vessel.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: University of Louisville Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Landon H. Tompkins, Michael Sobieski, Steven Koenig, Gretel Monreal, Mark Slaughter

Publication number: 20070262777Abstract: A low profile radio frequency coil (32, 44, 441, 442, 443) for use in a magnetic resonance imaging system includes a low profile antenna (34, 102, 202, 302) that is configured to resonate at about a magnetic resonance frequency of the magnetic resonance imaging system. A generally planar inductor (110, 112, 210, 240, 310) is electrically connected or coupled with the low profile antenna. The generally planar inductor provides selected frequency filtering of a radio frequency signal received by or transmitted by the low profile antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2005Publication date: November 15, 2007Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Marcel Warntjes, Marinus Van Helvoort, Thomas Chmielewski, Steven Koenig, Thomas Chmielewski

Publication number: 20060053066Abstract: The present invention overcomes the problems in the existing art described above by providing an online digital video signal transfer apparatus and method. Rental of the digital video signals occurs within an online environment including one or more client computers and at least one network server connected by a communications link to the one or more client computers. The method includes providing access to an online catalog stored within a memory of a network video server computer. The online catalog includes information regarding digital video signals available for rental from the network server computer. Requests are then received from client computers for rental of digital video signals selected from the online catalog for a specified period of time. The requests include electronic payment based on the selected digital video signal and the specified period of time. Once electronic payment is provided, the digital video signal is transmitted to the client computer via communications link.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2005Publication date: March 9, 2006Inventors: Scott Sherr, Eva Miranda, Ira Rubenstein, Sean Carey, Yair Landau, Andrew Frank, Brian Lakamp, Bryan Spaulding, Charles Evans, Everton Schnabel, Hartmut Ochs, Jeremy Barnett, Seth Palmer, Todd Henderson, William Chong, Steven Koenig, Bruce Forest
