Patent number: 9265554Abstract: A power source delivers oscillating electrical energy to an electrical conductor, such as a wire or catheter, which is coated circumferentially with a ferromagnetic material in a selected region. With high frequency electrical energy, the ferromagnetic material has a quick response in heating and cooling adjustable by the controllable power delivery. The ferromagnetic material can be used for separating tissue, coagulation, tissue destruction or achieving other desired tissue effects in numerous surgical procedures.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Domain Surgical, Inc.Inventors: Kim Manwaring, David McNally

Patent number: 9265553Abstract: Thermal, Electrosurgical and Mechanical modalities may be combined in a surgical tool. Potentially damaging effects in a first modality may be minimized by using a secondary modality. In one example, thermal hemostasis may thus help electrosurgical applications avoid the adverse tissue effects associated with hemostatic monopolar electrosurgical waveforms while retaining the benefits of using incising waveforms.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2013Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Domain Surgical, Inc.Inventors: Kim Manwaring, David McNally

Patent number: 9265556Abstract: Thermally adjustable surgical tools include a conductor and a ferromagnetic material. The ferromagnetic material may be quickly heated when subjected to high frequency alternating current through the conductor. The ferromagnetic material may also cool rapidly because of its relatively low mass and the small thermal mass of the conductor. The thermally adjustable surgical tools may be used to sculpt, melt, break and/or remove biological material. The thermally adjustable surgical tools may also include balloon catheters which can heat fluid to thereby treat biological material.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2011Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Domain Surgical, Inc.Inventors: Kim Manwaring, David McNally

Publication number: 20160030102Abstract: A thermal surgical instrument comprising a conductor having a ferromagnetic material in electrical communication with the conductor, such that passage of electrical energy through the conductor causes substantially uniform heating of the ferromagnetic material sufficient to produce a desired therapeutic tissue effect is provided. The conductor may be shaped to facilitate resection of tissue from a patient and include a support to provide increase rigidity to the loop so that the conductor better resists bending during use. The ferromagnetic material quickly heats and cools in response to a controllable power delivery source. The thermal surgical instrument can be used for substantially simultaneously resecting tissue with hemostasis.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2015Publication date: February 4, 2016Applicant: Domain Surgical, Inc.Inventors: Kim Manwaring, David McNally

Patent number: 9171473Abstract: A dynamic weather route system automatically analyzes routes for in-flight aircraft flying in convective weather regions and attempts to find more time and fuel efficient reroutes around current and predicted weather cells. The dynamic weather route system continuously analyzes all flights and provides reroute advisories that are dynamically updated in real time while the aircraft are in flight. The dynamic weather route system includes a graphical user interface that allows users to visualize, evaluate, modify if necessary, and implement proposed reroutes.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2012Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA)Inventors: B.
