  • Heart valve remodeling device
    Patent number: 10702381
    Abstract: A heart valve remodeling device may include a delivery device including an inner shaft slidably disposed over a guidewire and an outer shaft slidably disposed over the inner shaft, and a braided stent fixedly attached to the inner shaft and the outer shaft. The braided stent may be translatable between an elongated configuration and a deployed configuration by movement of the inner shaft relative to the outer shaft. The braided stent may include a valve having two or more leaflets disposed within the braided stent. Adjacent leaflets of the two or more leaflets may form longitudinally-oriented commissures proximate a perimeter of the valve, the commissures being fixedly secured to the braided stent along their length.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 1, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 7, 2020
    Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.
    Inventors: Tim O'Connor, Pat O'Toole, Richard O'Sullivan, Marc Feeley, Paul Gunning, Fergal Horgan, Coley Smyth, Sean Shanley, Axel Linke

  • Intake valve for an internal combustion machine
    Patent number: 6675757
    Abstract: A valve having a sleeve-like screening element for protecting an internal combustion engine against deposits in a region extending up from a hollow throat to a stripping edge. The screening element has a separate contactor guide surface for the combustion air supplied to the combustion chamber whose surface temperature is lower than the critical temperature for deposits at which fuel particles coke.
