Publication number: 20250049252Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a selected volume of water at a specified temperature. The dispenser includes a source of water at an elevated temperature and a source of water at a lower temperature. An electronic controller determines the volume of water needed from each source in order to arrive at the selected volume and temperature. The dispenser uses a recirculation valve to circulate at least the elevated temperature water in the tank and in the outlet in order to ensure the temperature of the water is as expected throughout the system to achieve the specified temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Applicant: Tea Unwrapped LLCInventors: Errin Whitney Gnadinger, Benjamin L. Martin, Robert L. Lewis, Grayson Paul Newland, Dean Paul Haviland, Max Bock-Aronson, Cheryl E. Watson, Dan Johnson, Eric Krause, Todd Matthew Squires

Patent number: 12208007Abstract: An anchor assembly is configured to implant a cardiac anchor into a heart wall of a patient to anchor a suture configured to extend from a valve leaflet of the heart as an artificial chordae. The anchor assembly can include an anchor hub defining an open interior and a helical coil extending distally from the anchor hub and having a sharpened tip configured to embed the helical coil into the heart wall upon rotation of the helical coil. A spring can be disposed within the open interior of the anchor hub. Compressing the spring distally can create an open space within the open interior of the anchor hub for a suture extending through the anchor hub to slide freely and releasing compression on the spring can cause the spring to expand in a proximal direction to clamp the suture within the open interior of the anchor hub.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2021Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: NeoChord, Inc.Inventors: Daryl Edmiston, Tyler Nordmann, Graham Garvin, Dan Johnson, Max Bock-Aronson, Andy Freeman, Ryan Um, Randall Beyreis, Brady Hatcher

Patent number: 11433321Abstract: Systems and methods for sulfur-compound removal from hydrocarbon liquids may include at least one tank defining a chamber with top and bottom ends, a gas inlet into the chamber, a gas outlet from the chamber, a fluid inlet into the chamber, and a fluid outlet from the chamber. A fluid circulation assembly creates a hydrocarbon liquid flow on a liquid path, and a gas circulation assembly circulates a gas flow along a gas path. The gas inlet and outlet and the fluid inlet and outlet of the tank may be arranged to create a crossflow and counterflow of the liquid and gas flows in the chamber of the tank such that sulfur-containing compounds are transferred from the liquid to the gas flow. A gas processor assembly may remove sulfur-containing compounds from the gas flow before recirculating the gas flow. The gas flow may be predominantly nitrogen (N2) gas.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2019Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Inventors: Sjoerd Hoogwater, Tom Wilson, Dan A. Johnson
