Patent number: 11945021Abstract: A needle bending assembly configured to at least temporarily contain a needle can include a first housing section, a second housing section, and a coupling element coupled between the first housing section and the second housing section. The first housing section defines a first cavity configured to at least temporarily contain a first section of the needle. The second housing section defines a second cavity configured to at least temporarily contain a second section of the needle forming a distal tip. The coupling element is configured such that when the needle is contained within the housing sections, movement of the second housing section relative to the first housing section results in a bending of the needle at a location corresponding to the coupling element.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: BendRx, Inc.Inventors: Scott Edward Parazynski, John Spiegel Michels, Jr., Jeffrey William Bull, Roy Melling

Patent number: 11253670Abstract: A device includes a body defining a respiration passage in fluidic communication with a filter fitting disposed on a first end of the body and a mask fitting disposed on a second end of the body, and a treatment passage in fluidic communication with the mask fitting. A treatment fitting is disposed on the body and is coupleable to a treatment source such that a seal in the treatment fitting transitions from a closed state to an open state to allow fluidic communication between the treatment source and the treatment passage. The device configured to permit (i) inhalation air and/or exhaled breath to be drawn and/or expelled through the filter fitting, the respiration passage, and the mask fitting and (ii) a respiratory therapeutic to be drawn from the treatment source coupled to the treatment fitting, through the treatment passage, and through the mask fitting.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Apogee InnovationsInventors: Scott Edward Parazynski, Jeffrey William Bull, Roy Melling, Daniel Tagtow

Patent number: 11014141Abstract: Embodiments of assemblies used for bending spinal needles and method for producing bent spinal needles used in medical procedures are disclosed. In one embodiment, a straight needle is placed in position for a fulcrum to apply pressure onto a designated spot on the needle and apply a bending pressure to bend the needle while the needle is supported at both ends. A barrier wall is configured to limit the movement of the needle resulting from the bending force to prevent overbending of the needle. In two other embodiments, a dual angle bending member enables selecting the bending angle desired by the user to be applied onto the needle. The angle of the bent needle is considerably reduced due to metal relaxation; however, the angle reduction is predictable and is taken into account in calculating the target bending angle.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Inventors: Scott Edward Parazynski, John Spiegel Michels, Jr., Jeffrey William Bull, Roy Melling

Publication number: 20210096713Abstract: A device with one or more input devices receives a user input for navigating through a representation of a set of assets, determines that an attribute associated with the received input is above threshold value, and in response, sets a scrolling mode to be an accelerated navigation mode. While the scrolling mode is in the accelerated navigation mode and while scrolling through the representation of assets in accordance with the input, the device provides one or more asset subset identifiers that identify a respective subset of the assets through which the device is currently scrolling in accordance with the input.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2020Publication date: April 1, 2021Inventors: William Bull, Kourtny Minh Hicks, Policarpo Wood, Eric James Hope
