  • Publication number: 20230166099
    Abstract: A method and devices for mitigating the risk of limb ischemia includes inserting a femoral arterial cannula into a femoral artery of a limb, the femoral arterial cannula having a low-profile balloon to seal the femoral artery. Once in situ in the femoral artery, the femoral arterial cannula balloon is inflated to seal said femoral artery to deliver blood flow in a retrograde direction to said limb while simultaneously delivering systemic arterial blood flow. A femoral venous cannula is also inserted into a femoral vein of said limb, the femoral venous cannula having a broad-profile balloon to seal the femoral vein. Once in situ in said femoral vein, the femoral venous cannula balloon is inflated to seal the femoral vein to drain venous blood flow from the limb while simultaneously draining systemic venous blood flow.

  • Patent number: 8065299
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a response to a query. Multiple users' search engine activity in regard to a query is correlated. A response is provided based upon this correlated search engine activity information. For one embodiment of the invention, in the context of search engine result optimization, the user activity and/or user information of multiple users, during a search session, is correlated with queries to effect an evolving association between queries and the organization and presentation of documents. Systems in accordance with such embodiments employ the ability to store users' activity over the entire search session, thus making possible the correlation of a number of different types of user activity and user information. The use of correlated user input allows such systems to provide relevant search results without the limitations imposed by the key-word-based systems of the prior art.
