Publication number: 20200046276Abstract: An arterial syringe assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a housing with a proximal end that may couple with a syringe barrel and a distal end that may couple with a needle. A needle cover is coupled with the housing at a hinge that may rotate to position the needle cover relative to the needle and may rotate to an orientation aligned with the needle such that the needle is within the needle cover. A needle plug is coupled to the needle cover at a distal end of the needle cover and may include plug material. The needle plug may slide axially relative to the needle to advance the needle plug at a distal end of the needle. A hydrophobic filter is positioned within the syringe barrel to evacuate air through a proximal end of the syringe barrel after the needle tip extends within the plug material.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2018Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventor: Anthony VALENTINO

Publication number: 20190362858Abstract: Systems and methods herein allow a monitored individual to monitored by a monitoring individual remote therefrom. The systems and methods allow the monitoring individual to define initial configuration settings by completing an on-line questionnaire. The monitored individual is then conditioned to use hardware components of the monitoring system based on these initial configuration settings, and then the system continues to self-learn and modify generated prompts to the monitored individual based on continued use and/or non-use of the hardware by the monitored individual.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2019Publication date: November 28, 2019Inventors: Anthony Valentino, Curt Terwilliger, Simon Milner, Ronald Kasper

Publication number: 20190311596Abstract: Enhanced GPS device and methods operate to configure the operating parameters of the GPS device according to a tracking application mode received at the GPS device. The tracking application mode is selected by a user. In some embodiments, the tracking application mode is used by the GPS device to configure the operating parameters by selecting an operating profile from a plurality of pre-set profiles in memory of the GPS device. In some embodiments, the operating parameters include a geofence. In some embodiments, the geofence may be created by the GPS device based on on-device data without interaction by the GPS device with a remote device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2019Publication date: October 10, 2019Inventors: Anthony Valentino, Ronald Kasper

Patent number: 10006075Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and automated loading mechanism for loading an apparatus. The apparatus of the present invention may include a means for automated loading, a means for automated transfer and/or a means for automated unloading of a container (e.g., a specimen container). In one embodiment, the apparatus can be an automated detection apparatus for rapid non-invasive detection of a microbial agent in a test sample. The detection system also including a heated enclosure, a holding means or rack, and/or a detection unit for monitoring and/or interrogating the specimen container to detect whether the container is positive for the presence of a microbial agent. In other embodiment, the automated instrument may include one or more, bar code readers, scanners, cameras, and/or weighing stations to aid in scanning, reading, imaging and weighing of specimen containers within the system.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2010Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: bioMerieux, Inc.Inventors: Richard Scott Remes, Stanley Michael Philipak, Mark Joseph Fanning, Ronnie J. Robinson, James Clement Bishop, Lawrence E. Guerra, Andrew Scherer, Anthony Valentino

Publication number: 20090094091Abstract: A method of dispatching a service call for an electromechanical device, such as a document production device, is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a dispatching server, a communication requesting service on a first document production device. The communication includes a unique identifier corresponding to the first device. A data server stores operational history data for a multiple document production devices, and the dispatching server accesses the operational history data in the data server to retrieve service data for the first device. The dispatching service sends a service order message to a customer service representative mobile communication device. The service order message includes a location identifier for the first device, operator contact information for the first device, and the service data.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2007Publication date: April 9, 2009Applicant: Xerox CorporationInventors: Tracy Eugene Thieret, Carl Gerald Nielsen, Robert Allen Gunther, James Gregg Bullen, Connie Treese Gaylord, Darrell Lynn Rublee, John Anthony Valentino
