Patent number: 11597552Abstract: An actuator system for fabricating a cavity within thermoplastic material includes a plurality of actuators arranged in an array. When dimensions of an item are determined, the actuator system may be programmed with data regarding such dimensions to fabricate a cavity for the item. A subset of the actuators, and distances by which each of the actuators is to be extended, may be selected based on dimensions of the item, in order to fabricate a cavity within the thermoplastic material that may accommodate the item therein. Additionally, the actuators and the distances may be selected based on intrinsic or extrinsic data regarding the item, and a cavity fabricated within the thermoplastic material may include one or more buffer zones or protective regions that are specifically formed with respect to aspects of the item.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Brian Stuart Hoffman, Cory Richard Boudreau, Todd Ethan Brunner, David C. Franchino, Alexandra Kay Hartford, Vivian Lin, Mohan Mahadevan, John Gaetano Matrecano, Alexandra Surasky-Ysasi, Timothy Alan Talda

Patent number: 9101387Abstract: The invention provides a rotational atherectomy system, device and method comprising a flexible, elongated, rotatable drive shaft with a pre-curved abrasive section disposed within a catheter that deforms the abrasive section to a substantially straight profile and, when the abrasive section is moved distally out of the catheter, the abrasive section resumes its pre-curved profile. Directional ablation is achieved by rotation of the drive shaft along its pre-curved axis as the abrasive section is urged against a portion of the lumen wall.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2009Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.Inventors: Charles A. Plowe, Jesse C. Darley, David C. Franchino, Matthew D. Cambronne, Jody Rivers, Cassandra A. Piippo, Robert E. Kohler

Patent number: 8152486Abstract: A medical pump includes a chassis having a fixed seat, and a main carriage having a carriage footing for receiving a fluid delivery device and restricting its movement. An actuator automatically moves the main carriage between open and closed positions to engage the fluid delivery device to the seat. The seat establishes the position of both the main carriage and fluid delivery device in the closed position. The actuator is connected to the main carriage by a rear carriage assembly having a manual release element for disengaging the actuator from rear carriage assembly and thereby from the main carriage. A processing unit detects jam conditions by processing carriage position data and electrical load data from the actuator.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2009Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: Marwan A. Fathallah, John Stephen Ziegler, David C. Franchino, Todd J. Bakken, Kent B. Chase, Daniel J. Lee
