Publication number: 20240122706Abstract: A replacement heart valve prosthesis is loaded onto a balloon mounted onto a balloon shaft of a catheter system. The balloon shaft is rotatably engaged with an actuator on the handle of the catheter system. Rotation of the actuator by a first amount in a first direction permits rotation of the heart valve prosthesis by a known amount during the procedure so that alignment of the commissures of the replacement valve with the commissures of the existing valve can be predictably achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Jason L.

Patent number: 11953204Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for a controller for a fuel oil burner system that controls a fuel oil burner to perform intermittent ON cycles. In one example, a controller includes a memory configured to store a value for one or more burner control delay periods and a processor. The processor is configured to perform an auto-set procedure in a first ON cycle. The auto-set procedure includes detecting an oil valve in the fuel oil burner; determining that the value for a burner control delay period is a default value; and in response, storing a valve-present value as the value for the burner control delay period in the memory.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: R.W. Beckett CorporationInventors: Christopher Allen Fildes, Benjamin Scott Anderson, James Todd, III

Patent number: 11915187Abstract: In general, the present disclosure describes inventory management systems and methods which track all inventory of items within a retail supply chain. A computerized system aggregates inventory movement events to produce a common source of truth for the location and disposition of items within a supply chain. Order events and inventory events are received from multiple data sources. Additionally, a current inventory level for each item at each location within the supply chain is provided according to the data source. The computerized system normalizes the information in the event messages before it is stored in the centralized inventory database. The inventory information in the database can be accessed by multiple consumers through an API to obtain the most up-to-date information about the disposition and location of an item.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Abrahamson, Jon Dejong, Joshua Allen Reed, Joshua Wing, Matthew Michael Anderson, Michelle Lyn Fuller

Publication number: 20150025920Abstract: A method for improving boarding of passengers and baggage onto a flight, comprises, at a predetermined time before the scheduled departure of the flight, determining an eligible carry-on baggage items count of carry-on baggage items eligible for treatment as checked baggage items. The eligible carry-on baggage items count is based on predetermined criteria comprising at least one of an aircraft type for the flight, a passenger load factor for the flight and carrier historical data relevant to the flight. If the eligible carry-on items count is greater than zero, then an offer to a passenger on the flight to have the passenger's carry-on baggage item treated as a checked baggage item is communicated, and the passenger's communication in response to the offer is received. For each accepted offer, decrementing the eligible carry-on items count.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2014Publication date: January 22, 2015Applicant: ALASKA AIRLINES, INC.Inventors: Sandra Lynn Stelling, Brian Wendell Robey, Jerry Allen Tolzman, HerngChuan Michael Yu, Van Gia Bao, Benjamin Michael Casad, Marshall Scott Allen, Zachary Allen Anderson, Brandon Murray Cooper

Patent number: 7128539Abstract: Improved method for cleaning a pump, fluid hose, and spray gun is provided by, for example, repeatedly changing the flow rate of the cleaning fluid pumped through the system to generate turbulence or increased turbulence and increased frictional resistance for enhanced cleaning action. A pressure control can cyclically vary the speed of the pump motor and pump connected thereto to generate the turbulence. The pumping cycle can alternate between a first and second power level and at a desired time interval for each speed. With a suitable solvent as the pumped fluid, the turbulence that is generated by the cyclical pumping action causes an increase in the scrubbing action of the solvent to quickly loosen residual material in the fluid passageways.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2002Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Titan Tool, IncInventors: Troy Allen Anderson, Joseph W.
