Patent number: 11188103Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods for providing personalized comfort to occupants of a conditioned space. A precision air device having a standalone controllable fan with directional nozzles is provided. The precision air device includes environmental and occupancy sensors, and communicates with a user device and with other precision air devices in the space. Application software installed on an occupant's user device enables the occupant to specify whether it is too cold or too warm within his or her personal space, or microzone. The collective demand of all microzones within a VAV macrozone is determined by a precision air aggregator to adjust a controllable VAV damper for that macrozone.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Trane International Inc.Inventors: Taylor Ben Clark, Princeton Lobo, Scott A.

Patent number: 11097927Abstract: A lifting machine with a counterweight includes a sensing system for assisting in ensuring proper operating conditions are reliably achieved. The machine includes a lifter for moving the counterweight from a lowered position to a raised position. A first sensor is associated with the lifter for sensing a parameter corresponding to an amount of the counterweight (such as a pressure value associated with the rod end of a lifting cylinder), and a second sensor is provided for sensing a condition of the lifter (such as the position or extended length of the lifting cylinder). The amount of counterweight present may be determined by the output of the first sensor when the lifter is in a pre-determined (e.g., midpoint) position. The operator may be polled to verify the amount of counterweight present, thus providing a check against unintended operating conditions and ensure that reliable operation of the lifting machine is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2017Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Link-Belt Cranes, L.P., LLLPInventors: Will Draper, Ben Clark, Charles M. Watson, Bryan Sheroan, Richard Shultz, Tim Burdett

Publication number: 20160166243Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for treating damaged or diseased valves are disclosed. A representative embodiment includes an elongated shaft having a longitudinal axis, a proximal portion, and a distal portion, and a dissection arm at the distal portion. The dissection arm can have a longitudinal axis and be moveable between a low-profile state and a deployed state. In the deployed state, a portion of the arm can flex outwardly away from the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The arm is configured to be deployed within a space within a vessel wall such that, as the arm moves from the low-profile state to the deployed state, the arm pushes against vessel wall tissue at a periphery of the space, thereby separating tissue at the periphery to form a dissection pocket having a predetermined shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2015Publication date: June 16, 2016Inventors: Fletcher T.

Publication number: 20130245430Abstract: Medical devices and methods are described that include catheter systems for use in vasculature. The catheter systems include a re-entry catheter for use with numerous guide wires to direct the guide wire from the extraluminal or subintimal space back into a true lumen after the guide wire has entered the subintimal space. An example of the re-entry catheter is a single lumen catheter configured to facilitate placement and positioning of guide wires and catheters within vasculature. An embodiment places and positions guide wires and catheters within peripheral vasculature. More specifically, the re-entry catheter provides for re-entry of a guide wire back into the true lumen of peripheral vasculature from a subintimal space.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2013Publication date: September 19, 2013Applicant: LuMend, Inc.Inventors: Matthew R.
