Patent number: 11944768Abstract: A method of using a catheter assembly for inserting in a fluid filled space in a body includes providing a main body having a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is positioned within the fluid filled space. The second end portion is adjusted to extend outwardly from the fluid filled space when the first end portion is positioned within the fluid filled space. A catheter tip is connected to the second end portion of the main body. The catheter tip includes a housing having a cavity defined therein and a rotating element positioned within the fluid filled space. The rotating element is rotated within the cavity of the housing to impart movement of the first end portion of the main body within the fluid filled space.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Washington UniversityInventors: Eric Leuthardt, Guy Genin, Matthew Smyth, David Limbrick, Daniel Moran, Lihong Wang, Aaron McLaughlin, Manish Shah, Alexander Yang, Samuel Stone, Devon Haydon, Michael Winek, Richard Marcus

Patent number: 11917510Abstract: One or more Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) beacons in communication with a remote server that provides check in capabilities and payment capabilities may be installed at a location. The BLE beacons may connect with a user's mobile device when the user enters the location and allow the user to check in to the location and authorize payments to be made at the location. Once the user is checked in to the location, the user may be provided with additional functionality, benefits, offers, and applications related to the location and facilitated by the check in. Further, the user may be pre-checked in into a next location when the user is at a current location.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Kent Griffin, John Hastings Granbery, Hill Ferguson, David Marcus, Michael Charles Todasco
