Publication number: 20250256059Abstract: A package for a medical device such as an intermittent catheter has a case which is closed at one end and open at the other end. A cap is connected to the case by a hinge to permit selectable movement of the cap between an open position, wherein access is provided to the open end of the case, and a closed position, wherein the cap prevents access to the open end of the case. A seal is connected to one of the cap and case. The seal is engageable with the other of the cap and case when the cap is closed to form a barrier that maintains a sterile environment inside the package. The seal can be repeatedly made and broken whenever the user closes or opens the cap, respectively. The case includes a pair of slots at the open end. A pair of latches are formed in the cap. The latches fit into the slots to prevent lateral forces from distorting the cap when the cap is closed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2025Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Martin McMenamin, Daniel E. O'Brien, Vincent Naughton, Joseph N. Hanley, David A. Knauz, Martin P. Creaven, Stephen Collum, Jeanne E. Lee, Siobhan Duffy, Marine Veronique Germaine Richard, Eugene Canavan, Scott J.

Publication number: 20250139028Abstract: An apparatus in an illustrative embodiment comprises at least one processing device that includes a processor coupled to a memory. The at least one processing device is configured to implement a centralized discovery controller for coupling to a host and to a storage system accessed by the host, with the centralized discovery controller being configured to receive from the host a congestion alert, and responsive to the received congestion alert, to send to the host and to one or more targets of the storage system corresponding congestion control messages. The congestion alert is illustratively received in the centralized discovery controller from a multi-path input-output (MPIO) driver of the host, where the MPIO driver controls delivery of IO operations from the host to the storage system over selected paths. The congestion control messages may comprise respective Asynchronous Event Notifications (AENs) associated with respective Asynchronous Event Requests (AERs).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: James R. Salvadore, Claire O’Keeffe, Erik P. Smith, Arieh Don

Publication number: 20250011754Abstract: A method of target enrichment or depletion from a sample with an analyte is described. A probe has one of a left-handed PNA pair and a targeting moiety, in which the left-handed PNA pair are a complementary pair of PNAs that are chiral and have a cyclic backbone modification that induces a left-handed helical structure. A capture surface has the other of the left-handed PNA pair; and the left-handed PNA pair bind to hybridize the probe to the capture surface, which may be a magnetic bead.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Brian O'Farrell, Claire O'Connell, Kaylyn Oshaben, Daniel Appella

Patent number: 12149109Abstract: A portable charging adapter system for charging a vaporizer device is described. In some embodiments, the system includes a charging adapter including a charging adapter housing. The charging adapter can include a charging dock positioned along a first surface of the charging adapter housing and a power coupling feature positioned along a second surface of the charging adapter housing. The portable charging adapter system can include a cap that includes a cap housing having an inner chamber. The cap can include a securing element coupled to the inner chamber having at least one cantilevered spring configured to engage the power adapter for securing a coupling of the cap to the charging adapter.

Patent number: 12144935Abstract: A package for a medical device such as an intermittent catheter has a case with open and closed ends. A hinge connects a cap to the case to permit movement of the cap between open and closed positions. A seal connected to one of the cap and case is engageable with the other to maintain a sterile environment inside the package. The seal can be repeatedly made and broken whenever the user closes or opens the cap. The case includes a pair of slots at the open end. A pair of latches is formed in the cap. The latches fit into the slots to prevent lateral forces from distorting the cap when the cap is closed. A first use indication label spans a depression in the outer contour of a closed cap and case, assuring visual confirmation of breach of the label upon first opening of the cap.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: Hollister IncorporatedInventors: Martin McMenamin, Vincent Naughton, Daniel E.

The first and second print jobs are printed with a media roll change occurring during printing. A first finishing device information nonproduction (“FDIN”) frame and a second FDIN frame are printed. The first and second FDIN frames include coded information regarding the first print job and the second print job, respectively. The coded information is for reading by a scanner at a finishing device. A press calibration nonproduction (“PCN”) frame that includes a printer calibration diagnostic is printed. A scanner at the printer is caused to capture the printer calibration diagnostic. A calibration operation is performed at the printer utilizing data or attributes captured from the printer calibration diagnostic.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2024Publication date: June 27, 2024Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Thomas J.
