Publication number: 20210275774Abstract: Packaging for hydrated articles are generally provided. In some embodiments, packaged articles are provided. For example, in some embodiments, a container contains an article such as a catheter and/or polymeric material. The disclosed packaged articles may be useful for, for example, providing controlled humidity conditions for contained components, maintaining consistent hydration levels of the packaged articles, and/or improved sterilization conditions. Advantageously, the packaged articles described herein may, in some embodiments, create an environment with minimum relative humidity for long-term storage of a catheter or polymeric material, increase shelf life of the catheter or polymeric material, and/or facilitate hydration of a catheter such that e.g., the catheter hydrates to intended dimensions within a specified amount of time. Methods for preparing such packaged article are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicant: Access Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Mark Thomas Doherty, Daniel T.

Publication number: 20190344423Abstract: An ergonomic, multi-purpose, attachable and adjustable, auxiliary handle assembly that provides a single supplementary handle for multiple tools and implements. The handle assembly is comprised of an āLā-shaped cylindrical bar that is combined with an adjustable yet lockable, hinged clamp that can be conveniently positioned along the primary cylindrical shaft of elongated tools and implements. This adjustable placement of this new auxiliary handle provides greater convenience in utilizing the tool to maximize its leverage or lifting capability while reducing the risk of muscular strain and fatigue. The adjustable feature allows operators of different sizes; tall to short, to conveniently place the adjustable handle on their tool or implement, at a position on the elongated shaft, that maximizes their preferred handling of the tool for operation. This auxiliary handle allows the user to maximize the effective use of the tool while reducing arm and back strain or injury.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2018Publication date: November 14, 2019Inventors: Robert James Doherty, Michael Thomas Doherty, Charles Guaring

Patent number: 9670001Abstract: An automated handling line guide rail assembly is provided for use on an automated handling line that is adjustable to define a path of varying width. The assembly comprises a segmented guide rail, with segments that define a generally arcuate perimeter of the path, the perimeter being positioned at a radius from a central axis. An actuator member is rotatable about the central axis and is arranged to extend at a substantially constant radius from the central axis. Rotation of the actuator member causes substantially radial movement of the segments thereby allowing the segments to define the perimeter at a plurality of different radii. The segments are positioned and have a width such that adjacent segments overlap each other. Their overlapping portions move circumferentially relative to each other when the segments move radially such that the extent of overlap of adjacent segments varies with the radial position of the segments.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2016Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: ZEPF Technologies UK LimitedInventor: Thomas Doherty

Publication number: 20160343090Abstract: There is provided a computer implemented method for generating a deviation resource flow interface on a computer system display. For planned flows of resources, information is obtained on planned resource transfers between nodes. Similarly, for actual flows of resources, information is obtained on performed transfers of at least some of the same resources between the nodes. This information is aggregated and flow statuses determined for the aggregated resource transfers. A deviation from plan status is assigned to a transfer if it is determined that a planned transfer has not been performed or if it is determined that a performed transfer does not conform to a planned transfer. If it is determined that a performed transfer conforms to a planned transfer, an on-plan flow status is assigned to such transfer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2016Publication date: November 24, 2016Applicant: Caterpillar of Australia Ply. Ltd.Inventors: Gregory Wood, Thomas Doherty, Veronica Jericho, Glen Blanchard

Patent number: 8588184Abstract: A broadband data communications network includes mobile wireless communications devices, base stations, and a master access gateway for operating using a full data set for controlling broadband data communications between the base stations and the mobile wireless communications devices. A back-up gateway is coupled to a given one of the base stations for communicating with the master access gateway for generating a data subset from the full data set for the given base station and associated mobile wireless communications devices when communications between the given base station and the master access gateway is available. When communications is unavailable, then the back-up gateway operates using the data subset for controlling broadband data communications between the given base station and associated mobile wireless communications devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2008Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Thomas Doherty, Andrew Ross

Patent number: 8116796Abstract: A portable radio communications device is for transmitting data and voice communications. The portable radio communications device may include a portable housing, a radio transceiver operating at a frequency in a range of 30 MHz-3000 MHz and being carried by the portable housing for direct communication with a corresponding radio transceiver, and a metropolitan area network (MAN) transceiver carried by the portable housing for indirect communication with a corresponding MAN transceiver via a MAN base station. The portable radio communications device may also include a controller carried by the portable housing for selectively allocating transmission of the data and voice communications between the radio transceiver and the MAN transceiver based upon a received signal characteristic. The controller may preferentially allocate the voice communications and the data communications to the radio transceiver and the MAN transceiver, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2008Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Adrian Boyer, Thomas Doherty, David Chauncey, Michael Buddendeck

Patent number: 8100916Abstract: An instrument for inserting, adjusting and engaging an implant, such as a polyaxial screw of a spinal fixation system, includes at least one retractable tab for engaging a corresponding recess on the implant and a shaft that moves relative to the retractable tab. The movable shaft selectively moves the tab between an expanded position for engaging the recess and a retracted position out of engagement with the recess. The shaft selectively engages a portion of the implant to rigidify the implant after the retractable tab engages the recess. The axially extending shaft may be disposed within an axially extending passageway of a body assembly. A rotatable collar surrounding the body assembly is coupled to the shaft for moving the shaft relative to the retractable tab.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2005Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: DePuy Spine, Inc.Inventors: Rakesh Kumar, Raymond Murphy, Thomas Doherty

Patent number: 7974257Abstract: A communications system may include a first wireless communications device communicating based upon a first wireless communications protocol, a second wireless communications device communicating based upon a second wireless communications protocol different from the first wireless communications protocol, and a wireless base station. The wireless base station may communicate with the first wireless communications device and the second wireless communications device based upon a frame structure. The frame structure may be defined by sub-carriers at respective different frequencies and symbols at respective different times. The frame structure may include a frame control header, a first frame portion for communicating with the first wireless communications device based upon the first wireless communications protocol, and a second frame portion for communicating with the second wireless communications device based upon the second wireless communications protocol.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2008Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Adrian Boyer, Michael Buddendeck, David Chauncey, Thomas Doherty, Mitel Kuliner
