Publication number: 20240142917Abstract: A method is provided. The method is implemented by a semantic automation builder executed on a processor. The method generating semantic automations of a robotic process automation. The method includes receiving user inputs corresponding to a target application, a written automation task, or steps to identify actions of the robotic process automation. The method also includes mapping each action to an activity to generate mapped activities, transforming the actions into the semantic automations based on the mapped activities, and providing the semantic automations in a user interface of the semantic automation builder to enable editing of the actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: UIPATH, INC.Inventors: Iulian Gabriel MARIN, Alexandru-Cristian PETRESCU, Adrian-Valentin PETRE, Paul-Stefan BOTAN

Patent number: 9211393Abstract: The present invention may include a medical device having a handle, a catheter coupled to the handle, and an expandable element coupled to the catheter. The medical device may also include first and second elongate bodies that traverse a length of the handle and the catheter. A housing may be disposed within the handle, with the housing defining a first opening able to receive a portion of the first elongate body, a second opening able to receive a portion of the second elongate body, and a third opening opposite the first and second openings able to receive a portion of both the first and second elongate bodies. A separation element may be disposed within the housing, with the separation element defining a path able to receive a portion of the second elongate body, and whereby a portion of the first elongate body forms a loop around the separation element.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2006Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: Medtronic CryoCath LPInventors: Yixin Hu, Vladimir Tzonev, Teresa Ann Mihalik, Benoit Thibault, Dan Wittenberger, Miriam Lane, Cristian Petre

Patent number: 8585690Abstract: A cryogenic catheter includes an elongate, contiguous, thermally-transmissive region coupled to the catheter, the thermally-transmissive region being sufficiently flexible to change from a linear configuration to an arcuate configuration. The thermally-transmissive region may include a plurality of interconnected thermally-transmissive segments that are generally cylindrical in shape. The cryogenic catheter may be in fluid communication with a fluid source, and may include one or more fluid injection tubes. Further, an injection tube may be slidably disposed within the catheter so that the injection tube is longitudinally movable relative to an outer surface of the catheter. The cryogenic catheter may also be in communication with a controller programmed to regulate delivery of a cryogenic fluid from the fluid source to the medical device.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Medtronic CryoCath LPInventors: John W. Lehmann, Dan Wittenberger, Claudia Lückge, Jean-Pierre Lalonde, Cristian Petre, Domenic Santoianni

Patent number: 8398632Abstract: A medical device is provided having a means for actuating a pair of opposing jaw members. The jaw members are movable relative to one another from a first position, wherein the jaw members are disposed in a spaced apart relation relative to one another, to a second position, wherein the jaw members cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween. An ablation tool is connected to at least one of the jaws members, such that the jaw members are capable of conducting ablation energy through the tissue grasped therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2006Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Medtronic Cryocath LPInventors: Daniel Nahon, Sean Carroll, Dan Wittenberger, Cristian Petre, Allan Skanes, Alan H. Menkis, Réal Ste-Marie
