Publication number: 20240389976Abstract: Ultrasound systems and devices are provided that facilitate positioning and orientation of an ultrasound beam relative to the vasculature of the patient for the detection of Doppler signals from vessels and the determination of a hemodynamic measure. In some example embodiments, a support structure, such as a patch, is provided that supports one or more ultrasound transducers relative to a coupling component, the support structure being removably attachable to a skin surface of a subject. Control and processing circuitry is connectable to the one or more ultrasound transducers to generate ultrasound beams, receive ultrasound signals, and process the received ultrasound signals to provide a Doppler signal and determine an associated hemodynamic measure. In some example implementations, the example embodiments disclosed herein may be employed to determine a hemodynamic measure associated with blood flow with major and/or minor vessels of the pedal arch, such as a pedal acceleration time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2023Publication date: November 28, 2024Inventors: ADAM GOLD, ABUBAKER KHALIFA, JILL SOMMERSET, JEFFREY LEADBETTER, JULIAN ZOU, JEREMY BROWN

Publication number: 20240378354Abstract: Example systems and methods are disclosed for use in interpreting traits of interest in agricultural crops. One example computer-implemented method includes compiling multiple data sets including a first mode of data and a second mode of data, and accessing a simulation architecture, which includes a mode layer and an aggregate layer connected to the mode layer, where the mode layer includes a first model and a second model. The method also includes inputting the first mode of data to the first model and the second mode of data to the second model, whereby latent feature data is generated by the mode layer and input to the aggregate layer, and then presenting an output, from the simulation architecture, which includes a trait of interest based on the first mode of data and/or the second mode of data.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: Neal CARPENTER, Srinivas Phani Kumar CHAVALI, Bhaskar DUTTA, David Paul FLEMING, Sambuddha GHOSAL, Megan Eileen GILLESPIE, Adam GOLD, Wei-Ting LIAO, Chenyong MIAO, Ethan Marcus PICKERING, Kai-Wei YANG

Patent number: 11931239Abstract: Collapsible branched anastomosis devices allow for the formation of percutaneous vascular anastomoses using a Seldinger wire technique. This minimally invasive approach eliminates the need for a large surgical incision and also avoids the use of time consuming hand-suturing. The devices collapse to a fraction of their expanded volume and are configured to fit within a delivery sheath for over the wire delivery through a small incision in a blood vessel.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2019Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONAInventors: Charles T.

Publication number: 20230385035Abstract: The present technology relates to devices for treating arteries. In several embodiments, for example, the present technology comprises an expandable structure configured to be intravascularly positioned within a lumen of the artery at a treatment site, where the artery has a substantially circular cross-sectional shape at the treatment site prior to deployment of the expandable structure therein. When the expandable structure is in an expanded state and positioned in apposition with the arterial wall at the treatment site under diastolic pressure, the expandable structure may force the artery into a non-circular cross-sectional shape. A cross-sectional area of the artery in the non-circular cross-sectional shape may be less than a cross-sectional area of the artery in the substantially circular cross-sectional shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2020Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Hanson S.

Patent number: 11439394Abstract: The present invention relates to surgical clamps and clamp devices that provide a handle-free surgical field and to methods of operating such clamps and clamp devices. Such methods may include moving a second rotating element relative to a first rotating element such that the rotational axis of the second rotating element is not parallel to the rotational axis of the first rotating element and rotating the first rotating element about the rotational axis of the first rotating element to cause rotation of the second rotating element about the rotational axis of the second rotating element. The rotation of the second rotating element causes translation of a first actuation element along the rotational axis of the second rotating element. The translation of the first actuation element causes pivotal motion of the first jaw portion towards the second jaw portion. Other methods and devices are provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: INTUITIVE SURGICAL OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: Adam Gold, David J. Danitz

Publication number: 20220032022Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for treating chronic rhinosinutisits (CRS) are described herein. The devices can have a guide member defining at least one lumen therethrough. A drug delivery component is advanced through the lumen to deliver a substance to the sino-nasal cavity of a patient. Once the drug delivery component is positioned at the desired area in the sino-nasal cavity, a user actuates the system to deliver the substance to the target area. Actuation of the system delivers the substance to the middle meatus, osteo-meatal complex, or other areas within the sino-nasal cavity of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: The Board of Trustees of The Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Adam GOLD, Ashley SEEHUSEN, Jonathan TOMA, Shira KOSS

Publication number: 20200352666Abstract: The invention provides an articulating mechanism useful, for example, for remote manipulation of various surgical instruments and diagnostic tools within, or to, regions of the body. Movement of segments at the proximal end of the mechanism results in a corresponding, relative movement of segments at the distal end of the mechanism. The proximal and distal segments are connected by a set of cables in such a fashion that each proximal segment forms a discrete pair with a distal segment. This configuration allows each segment pair to move independently of one another and also permits the articulating mechanism to undergo complex movements and adopt complex configurations. The articulating mechanisms may also be combined in such a way to remotely mimic finger movements for manipulation of an object or body tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2020Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventors: David J.

Patent number: 10722314Abstract: A surgical instrument comprises a spacer element comprising a proximal region and a distal region, an end effector coupled to a distal end of the spacer element, a user hand interface at a proximal end of the spacer element, and a securing element for securing the proximal end of the spacer element to a user wrist. The user hand interface comprises an elongate member including a lumen and extending from a distal end to a proximal end of the user hand interface. The user hand interface further comprises an actuation cable extending within the lumen from the distal end to the proximal end of the user hand interface. The proximal region of the spacer element comprises a curved portion extending from the user hand interface. The user hand interface is movable in a manipulation space proximal of the distal region and distal of the proximal end of the spacer element.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: INTUITIVE SURGICAL OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: David J.

Patent number: 10702272Abstract: A method comprises rotating a first rotating element to cause rotation of a second rotating element and restricting, by an elongate slot of a first body portion and a pin affixed to a second body portion, a range of rotational motion of first and second jaw portions of a medical instrument. The first jaw portion is coupled to the second jaw portion by the first body portion and the second body portion. The rotation of the second rotating element causes translation of a first actuation element along a rotational axis of the second rotating element. The translation of the first actuation element causes pivotal motion of the first jaw portion towards the second jaw portion about a single pivot pin. The elongate slot of the first body portion and the pin affixed to the second body portion are positioned between the second rotating element and the single pivot pin.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2017Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: INTUITIVE SURGICAL OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: Adam Gold, David J.
