Publication number: 20250207379Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a tank system including a gravity tank configured to contain water at atmospheric pressure, a rigid pressurized tank positioned within the gravity tank and configured to contain water at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, and a piston assembly positioned below the rigid pressurized tank and configured to open and close the rigid pressurized tank. The gravity tank is configured to channel water at atmospheric pressure into a toilet bowl at a first velocity and the rigid pressurized tank is configured to channel water at the pressure greater than atmospheric pressure into the toilet bowl at a second velocity. The second velocity is greater than the first velocity.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2025Publication date: June 26, 2025Applicant: Strategic Water Solutions Holdings, LLCInventors: PAUL MICHAEL GOUDREAU, ANDREW NATHANIEL SMITH, TYLER LORNE HEBIG, MICHAEL WADE STRAWN, JUSTIN MAGOLINE, DAVID ARGUELLES

Patent number: 12144752Abstract: Stent delivery systems and methods for making and using stent delivery systems are disclosed. An example stent delivery system may include an inner member having a stent receiving region. A stent may be disposed along the stent receiving region. The system may also include a deployment sheath axially slidable relative to the inner member. The deployment sheath may have a proximal end region. A rack may be coupled to the proximal end region of the deployment sheath. An outer shaft may be disposed along at least a portion of the deployment sheath. The deployment sheath may be rotatable relative to the inner member, the outer shaft or both.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Brady Scott Logan, Jason T. Anderson, Paul Michael Goudreau, Andrew Nathaniel Smith, Ian Thomas Forte, Tyler Lorne Hebig, Rowan Olund Hettel, Ryan Dale Hendrickson

Patent number: 10337180Abstract: The disclosed technology includes low flush toilet systems and methods of using low flush toilet systems. In one implementation, a low flush toilet system includes a first (or passive) tank, the first tank configured to preload a toilet rim, and a second (or pressurized) tank, the second tank including an internal air bladder, the internal air bladder configured to compress when exposed to water pressure from a supply line and configured to expand when a flush valve releases pushing water out of the second tank at a high flow rate and into a toilet for flushing. In some implementations, water flows from the pressurized tank at approximately 0.7-1.0 gallons per flush.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: OT LLCInventors: Andrew Nathaniel Smith, Tyler Lorne Hebig, Paul Michael Goudreau, Michael Wade Strawn
