Publication number: 20250025209Abstract: A catheter extraction tool has a head that can be placed in position to significantly surround a diameter of a catheter. The head is shaped to have a low enough profile above the catheter to allow the head to be slid down the catheter and into a subdermal region in which the catheter is subdermal with respect to a patient. The head of the catheter extraction tool is expanded sufficiently to slide the head over a catheter cuff located in the subdermal region. After the head of the catheter extraction tool slides over the catheter cuff, the head is contracted to engage the catheter so that a user can pull the catheter out of the patient using the catheter extraction tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Applicant: Qathex, LLCInventors: Gabriel Herscu, Curt Toppel, Elmer Tolentino

Publication number: 20160372155Abstract: A video bit processing system accesses video content. The video bit processing system has components that operate on a server and on a personal computing device. The video bit processing system converts the video content to a format recognized by the personal computing device. The video bit processing system plays the converted video content on a display of the personal computing device. A video bit is created in response to a user selection performed by a user while the video content is playing. An end time for the video bit is based on a selection time in which the user makes the user selection. A beginning time for the video bit is at a time in the video that is a predetermined length of time before the end time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2016Publication date: December 22, 2016Inventors: Elmer Tolentino, JR., Curt Toppel, Gabriel Herscu
