  • Publication number: 20260151174
    Abstract: Provided herein are catheter devices, systems, and methods to ablate a tissue location. The devises, systems, and methods disclosed herein include ablation systems including a catheter system with inner and outer shafts that deliver an ablation medium (e.g., a cryogenic ablation medium) to a body lumen and evacuate the ablation medium from the body lumen. Devices, systems, and methods disclose herein can include expandable structures that facilitate in positioning of nozzles and/or evacuation of ablation medium from a body lumen. A dehumidification or anti-freezing medium can also be communicated into an internal organ to dehumidify the internal organ before cryoablation.

  • Patent number: 12615233
    Abstract: The described systems and techniques provide improved storage for overlapping IP address ranges and improved access to a given IP address's membership in the stored overlapping IP address ranges, in constant, O(1) access time with respect to the number of IP ranges stored or number of overlaps. The systems and technique include receiving an IP address, generating a positional score for the IP address, querying a positional data set containing a plurality of positional values using the positional score to find a first matching positional value, and querying a tag storage set containing a plurality of tag identifiers (IDs) using the first matching positional value to find a tag identifier (ID) from the plurality of tag IDs matching the first matching positional value, where the tag ID contains one or more tags with each of the one or more tags identifying a range of IP addresses containing the IP address.

  • Patent number: 12533305
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a naturally derived surfactant system and an end use composition comprising the surfactant system. The naturally derived surfactant system comprises an anionic and nonionic surfactant comprising polyglycerol ester that is stable in an end use composition having a pH from 4.8 to 6.5. Such end use compositions are mild, have excellent lathering characteristics, and do not require glycinates, polyglycosides, betaines, sultaines and sulfates.
