  • Patent number: 11090465
    Abstract: The invention provides design, material, manufacturing method, and use alternatives for medical devices. An example medical device includes an elongate shaft having a distal region and a coil disposed along the distal region. The coil is formed from a winding member having a first filar region and a second filar region. The winding member has a first cross-sectional diameter along the first filar region, a second cross-sectional diameter different from the first cross-sectional diameter along the second filar region, a first centroid at a first position along the first filar region and a second centroid at a second position along the second filar region. The first centroid and the second centroid are axially-aligned.

  • Patent number: 10274296
    Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide a modular carrier for a tactical implement or for an accessory to a weapon, tool, or other implement, for example. The modular carrier comprises first and second shell components to at least partially encase the accessory. The first and second shell components are adjustably attached using at least one attachment member on each of the first and second shell components, to form an enclosure. At least one adjustable retention component may be used with the attachment members to adjust the retention of the enclosure.

  • Publication number: 20180010885
    Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide an adjustable clip that may be adjusted in overall length. The adjustable clip includes an upper clip portion and a lower clip portion, which are moveably coupled to each other. An actuator is included to set the overall length of the adjustable clip, and to prevent the upper clip portion and the lower clip portion from moving with respect to each other unintentionally, when the length is set. The clip length can be user-adjusted in the field if desired.

  • Publication number: 20050094664
    Abstract: A flight delivery system that utilizes an architectural structure and network that allows real-time digital signals to be stored, retrieved and converted to an audio signal for radio transmission to achieve nearly instantaneous transmission of real-time data. The system utilizes a computerized reservation system as a source of information and stores it on a database. The information is called up by a computer that converts the data to a digital audio signal. The digital audio signal is then broadcast over airport antennae. The system features programs that allow for a conversion from airport city codes to the common identification for local cities.
