  • Patent number: 12144752
    Abstract: Stent delivery systems and methods for making and using stent delivery systems are disclosed. An example stent delivery system may include an inner member having a stent receiving region. A stent may be disposed along the stent receiving region. The system may also include a deployment sheath axially slidable relative to the inner member. The deployment sheath may have a proximal end region. A rack may be coupled to the proximal end region of the deployment sheath. An outer shaft may be disposed along at least a portion of the deployment sheath. The deployment sheath may be rotatable relative to the inner member, the outer shaft or both.

  • Patent number: 11988411
    Abstract: An inline heater includes a heater core that includes a heat spreader assembly comprising a tubular heat spreader that extends axially along a longitudinal axis and that comprises an external surface. The heat spreader assembly includes a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. At least one conduit extends helically about the longitudinal axis of the heat spreader between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet to define a fluid heating flow path that fluidically connects the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The heat spreader assembly further comprising an electrically operated heating element for heating the heat spreader.

  • Patent number: 11733047
    Abstract: Exemplary methods and systems provide for production of geographically located, accurate indoor maps of physical spaces and provide navigation guidance for users in physical spaces, and process requests for users related to available physical space within said physical spaces. Aggregated information about the physical spaces is curated and converted using automated procedures into a data model that contains all elements of said physical spaces, including geographic data about the physical space's location on the globe. The system and computer program embodiments retrieve the converted data, load it on mobile devices or computers, rendering it on these devices in the correct global geographic context, allowing users to interact with the data to select rooms, and send and receive requests to and from external systems regarding these selections. Users navigate within the physical spaces using mobile devices and the computer program embodiments in tandem to provide accurate directions and guidance.

  • Patent number: 11634587
    Abstract: A coating for vehicle components, such as frame assemblies and cradle assemblies formed of steel, is provided. The coating includes a first layer including a high phosphate composition applied to the substrate, and a second layer including wax applied to the first layer. For example, the first layer can include a first inorganic acid, an inorganic salt, a second inorganic acid, nickel salt, and ammonium bifluoride; and the second layer can include petroleum, carbon black pigment, and a corrosion inhibitor, the corrosion inhibitor including magnesium. The coating has been found to improve corrosion resistance when applied to steel substrates, compared to wax coatings which are currently applied to steel substrates.

  • Patent number: 11366883
    Abstract: Methods and systems for deploying an enhanced processing system that performs reflection based endpoint security testing are described herein. A computing system may determine, by performing reflection on a web server library, controller types corresponding to an API. For each of the controller types, the computing system may determine method information objects corresponding to the respective controller types. Based on calls to an endpoint method for each of the one or more method information objects, the computing system may determine endpoint failures associated with the API. The endpoint methods may correspond to each of the one or more method information objects. Based on the determined endpoint failures associated with the API, the computing system may adjust one or more endpoints of the API.

  • Patent number: 11277436
    Abstract: Identifying and mitigating harm from malicious network connections by a container. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving, from a shim, notifications of all network connections that a container has sought to establish through the shim. The method may also include monitoring all actual network connections established by the container. The method may further include comparing the notifications to the actual network connections to determine whether any actual network connection established by the container bypassed the shim. The method may also include, in response to determining that any actual network connection established by the container bypassed the shim, identifying the network connection established by the container that bypassed the shim as a malicious network connection, and performing a security action to mitigate harm from the malicious network connection.

  • Patent number: 11253414
    Abstract: An armrest assembly is disclosed herein. The armrest assembly includes a main body with a proximal adjustment assembly disposed at a first end and a distal adjustment assembly disposed at a second end. The proximal adjustment assembly provides for adjustment of the main body about a first axis. The distal adjustment assembly provides for adjustment of an arm pad about a second axis as well as a third axis. To prevent damage, a breakaway assembly is provided by the distal adjustment assembly to unlock the arm pad from a raised position and lower it into a lower position in the event a weight applied to the arm pad is beyond a particular weight threshold.
