Publication number: 20240157119Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for improving connections between a heart pump such a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and the heart and/or tubing such as a graft tube. An apical connector including a cylindrical housing and a ring support connected to the housing is described. The apical connector may include a sewing ring to be connected to the patient's heart and a spring positioned within the cylindrical housing to engage a portion of the pump and secure the apical connector to the pump. Alternatively, an apical connector may include an upper and lower housing with locks positioned in channels between the housings and may include a handle and a ring to cause the locks to engage a portion of the pump. A quick connect assembly is also described for efficiently connecting a graft tube to an outlet of a heart pump using a flange with through-holes and protrusions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: CorWave SAInventors: Trevor SNYDER, Amelie BOURQUIN, Pierre-Yves QUELENN, Bastien WITTIG, Tim MAHER, Jean HARTER

Publication number: 20220260344Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, a front cabin, an armor component, and a retainer. The front cabin is coupled to the frame and selectively repositionable between an in-use position and a maintenance position. The retainer is coupled to the armor component and defines a slot extending laterally across a portion of the retainer. The vehicle is reconfigurable between an A-kit configuration and a B-kit configuration. In the A-kit configuration, the armor component is removed from the vehicle. In the B-kit configuration, the armor component is coupled to the front cabin. The retainer is offset the armor component by a retainer spacer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2021Publication date: August 18, 2022Applicant: Oshkosh Defense, LLCInventors: Kris Krueger, Jake Leeman, Scott Mueller, Micah Richmond, Tim Snyder, Harold Vincent

Patent number: 11181345Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame extending longitudinally, a front cabin coupled to the frame and configured to accept at least one occupant, and a support coupled to the frame. The vehicle is reconfigurable between an A-kit configuration and a B-kit configuration. In the A-kit configuration, a spacer extends between the frame and the support and couples the support to the frame, and an armor component is removed from between the frame and the support. In the B-kit configuration, the armor component extends between the frame and the support and couples the support to the frame, and the spacer is removed from between the frame and the support.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Oshkosh Defense, LLCInventors: Kris Krueger, Jake Leeman, Scott Mueller, Micah Richmond, Tim Snyder, Harold Vincent

Patent number: 10611416Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, tractive assemblies engaging the frame, a cabin configured to contain at least one operator during operation of the vehicle, and a mount configured to pivotably couple the cabin to the frame. The mount includes a boss coupled to the cabin and defining a first aperture, a first bracket defining a second aperture, a pin extending through the first and second apertures, a second bracket coupled to the frame, and a pair of isolators extending between the first bracket and the second bracket. The isolators are configured to couple the first bracket to the second bracket and to reduce the transfer of vibrations between the frame and the cabin. The cabin is configured to rotate between use position and maintenance positions. The cabin is positioned near the frame in the use position and rotated away from the frame in the maintenance position.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Oshkosh Defense, LLCInventors: Mike Groteleuschen, Kris Krueger, Mark Boyce, Harold Vincent, Jake Leeman, Scott Mueller, Micah Richmond, Tim Snyder, Jennifer King, Terry Carlson, Mike Wrege

Patent number: 10495419Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, front cabin, and an armor component. The vehicle is reconfigurable between a B-kit configuration where the armor component is coupled to the vehicle, and an A-kit configuration where the armor component is removed. The armor component is configured to be coupled to at least one of a plurality of bosses disposed on a front wall or a side wall of the vehicle. A vehicle may also include at least two frame rails, a support, and a spacer that is coupled to at least one of the frame rails and the support. The armor component may replace the spacer in the B-kit configuration. The armor component may be an underbody armor panel. The vehicle may further include a retainer to simplify the conversion between the A-kit and a B-kit configurations and a step.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2018Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Oshkosh Defense, LLCInventors: Kris Krueger, Jake Leeman, Scott Mueller, Micah Richmond, Tim Snyder, Harold Vincent

Patent number: 9384327Abstract: A system for managing and exchanging electronic information provides a rules management component for executing conceptual rules, an ontology management component, an information model management component, and a system configuration management component. The ontology management component manages at least one ontology and mappings between members of different ontologies. The ontologies may include a code system and a terminology. The ontology management component may manage a value set that is a subset of the terminology. The information model management component manages one or more information model schemas, each defining an information model and comprising information defining at least one slot within the information model. The system configuration management component manages configuration information on the configuration of each system component.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2010Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Clinerion Ltd.Inventors: Tim Snyder, Alan Peter Honey
