Publication number: 20200204683Abstract: Measures are provided for use in establishing a telephony session between first and second telephony devices in a telephony network. Telephony network equipment in the telephony network receives, from the first telephony device over a signalling link, a telephony session establishment request. The telephony network equipment receives, from the first telephony device over a data link that is separate to the signalling link, a message comprising data useable by the telephony network equipment to identify the second telephony device. The telephony network equipment correlates the received telephony session establishment request and the received message. The telephony network equipment transmits, to the second telephony device, a telephony session establishment request on the basis of the correlating. The first telephony device is associated with a multi-persona user having a first persona associated with a first telephony identifier and a second persona associated with a second telephony identifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2020Publication date: June 25, 2020Inventors: David HOTHAM, Richard UNDERWOOD, Andrew ROBINSON HODGES

Patent number: 10463348Abstract: A biopsy device holder includes a needle holder, a distal holder, and a proximal holder. The needle holder includes an elongated housing extending between an open proximal end and a distal end. The needle holder is adapted to releasably receive the biopsy device through the open proximal end. The elongated housing includes a coupler configured to couple the needle holder to the biopsy device. The distal holder includes an opening configured to pivotably receive the distal end of the needle holder. The proximal holder includes a longitudinal stop that engages with a portion of the needle holder to prevent the needle holder from proximal longitudinal movement. The longitudinal stop is configured to disengage the coupler of the needle holder from the biopsy device when the biopsy device is moved proximally in a longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Devicor Medical Products, Inc.Inventors: David Shuart, Andrew Paul Nock, Andrew Robinson, Rachel Yoon Choung, Mark Graham

Patent number: 10398415Abstract: A biopsy device includes a body, a needle, a cutter, and a tissue sample holder. The needle extends distally from the body. The cutter is longitudinally translatable relative to the needle and defines a cutter lumen. The tissue sample holder includes a rotatable member, an individual sample tray, and one or more bulk sample trays. The rotatable member defines a single chamber partially divided by a plurality of tray protrusions extending radially inwardly from a cylindrical wall of the rotatable member. The individual sample tray includes a single sample chamber that is configured to receive a single tissue sample. The bulk sample tray is configured to receive a plurality of tissue samples.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Devicor Medical Products, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Paul Nock, Andrew Robinson

Patent number: 10335124Abstract: A marker delivery device includes a cannula with a first end, a second end, a marker exit near the second end, a handle into which the cannula extends or to which the cannula is attached, the cannula being capable of receiving a plunger and rod that are operable to deploy a marker from the marker exit, the marker delivery device further including a tapered adaptor portion attached to or surrounding the cannula and abutting the handle. The tapered adaptor portion is configured to engage a plurality of different sleeves for differing biopsy devices. Various aspects offer improved ease of removal from commercially available biopsy devices due to its “pinch release” feature. Various aspects of the device allow use with multiple commercially available biopsy devices so as to ensure proper positioning of the devices for marker deployment.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Devicor Medical Products, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Robinson, Emmanuel Tanghal
