Patent number: 11937860Abstract: There is an implant, comprising a plate portion at a first end, and a stem portion at a second end extending away from an end of the plate portion. In one embodiment, the plate portion comprises a first lobe with a first screw hole; and a second lobe with a second screw hole, wherein the first lobe is adjacent to the second lobe. There is also method of inserting an implant, comprising preparing a patient's bones, performing an osteotomy on the patient's bones to form a first bone segment and a second bone segment, aligning the first bone segment and the second bone segment and inserting an implant into an intramedullary canal in the second bone segment.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Paragon Advanced Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Selene G. Parekh, Gregory J. Kowalczyk, Brian R. McLaughlin

Publication number: 20240091020Abstract: There is disclosed a bone fixation device that can include a cage having an optional mesh portion. The bone fixation device can be configured to couple a leg portion to a foot portion of a user's body. In at least one embodiment, the device includes at least one cage having a plurality of struts forming cells. There can be an optional mesh portion having a pre-set porosity that can be either constant or variable in density. In at least one embodiment there can be a cage portion which is substantially spherical shaped. Alternatively, the device can be substantially egg shaped. In at least one embodiment there can be a central post hole for receiving a post. In another embodiment at least one plate or shaft can connect to the cage.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Paragon Advanced Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gregory J. KOWALCZYK, Brian R. MCLAUGHLIN, Selene G. PAREKH, Luciano Bernardino BERTOLOTTI

Patent number: 11921844Abstract: A novel compiler is described. The compiler is able to view source code of the application in its entirety and can do so from the inside. Unlike other tools which examine the forensic data from an application crash after the fact, from the outside, the compiler of the present invention can provide novel data on function call stacks and function profiles during runtime. The application may be stopped immediately during runtime to prevent further or potential damage, but the forensic data that is collected is focused and can be used to show where vulnerabilities exists in the application and how they were exploited. Hashes are taken of function call stacks and used as unique identifiers or thumbprints which can be used to reduce the volume of forensic data that needs to be analyzed after an attack.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Dellfer, Inc.Inventors: Brian H. Pescatore, James Blaisdell, Xonia Ivonne McLaughlin, Chetin Ersoy, Kenneth J. Wante

Publication number: 20090112154Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for treating diabetic patients on insulin therapy. More specifically, the invention includes apparatus for infusing insulin into a patient in an amount determined by the patient's carbohydrate intake, blood glucose level, and the amount of insulin calculated to be present in the patient at the time the therapy is to be administered. In one embodiment, an insulin infusion device having an on-board processor obtains a patient's blood glucose value from a remote sensor and receives input from a user indicating their recent meal intake. The device may include an on-board food database for determining the carbohydrate content of the patient's recent meals and compare that with recent insulin deliveries into the patient to determine the insulin present in the patient prior to determining an appropriate insulin dosage.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2008Publication date: April 30, 2009Applicant: Animas CorporationInventors: Barbara A. Montgomery, Brian J. McLaughlin, Carl Brewer, Mark DeStefano, Marat Shkolnik

Publication number: 20090005729Abstract: Disclosed is a medical infusion device including a dedicated processing unit for detecting abnormal operation of the operation of the device. Specifically, a watchdog controller is employed as an independent monitor of the functioning of microprocessors used in the medical infusion device for controlling things such as RF communication, insulin infusion, and system integrity. Through the use of an independently-powered watchdog control system, the accuracy and reliability of the device is enhanced, resulting in greater assurance to the patient receiving periodic or continuous infusion of a drug.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2007Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: Animas CorporationInventors: Charles Hendrixson, Ian Maxwell Shipway, John Quinlan, Brian J. McLaughlin, Steven Getz

Patent number: 5321758Abstract: A power efficient hearing aid uses a programmable biasing technique to set the quiescent operating points of amplifiers used by the hearing aid to avoid excessive power usage by the hearing aid. The hearing aid also includes power supply circuitry which develops +1.25 volts and -1.25 volts relative to ground from a single +1.25 volt source. The hearing aid also conserves power by selectively disabling low frequency signal processing channels in the presence of relatively large amplitude ambient noise.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1993Date of Patent: June 14, 1994Assignee: Ensoniq CorporationInventors: Albert J. Charpentier, Duane J. Loeper, Brian J. McLaughlin, Edouard A. Gauthier, David W. DiOrio
