Publication number: 20240074829Abstract: Tissue access devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. The devices can have a sensor configured to occlude a flow path by deflecting a membrane into the flow path when the devices become dislodged from tissue. The sensor can be configured to partially or fully occlude the flow path. The sensor can have a spring. The spring can be biased to move the sensor from a sensor first configuration to a sensor second configuration when a force applied by the sensor first surface against a non-sensor surface changes from a first force to a second force less than the first force. The membrane can be deflected into the flow path when the sensor is in the sensor second configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Hemotek Medical IncorporatedInventors: Patrick ROUSCHE, Peter TEK, Charles VENTURA, Richard A.

Publication number: 20190358413Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a device for the reduction perceived pain in patients. Various embodiments comprise a flexible shell comprising a pliable material and a first non-planar surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The flexible shell defines an interior cavity located intermediate the first surface and the second surface and filled at least in part by a first substance. The first surface comprises a plurality of protrusions distributed therein and configured to be depressed into the skin of the patient. The pain reducing device may execute a cooling functionality upon being moved from a first position to a second position. When cooled and depressed against the patient's skin, the pain reducing device provides a sensory confusion sensation to the patient, thereby reducing perceived pain caused by a needle insertion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2019Publication date: November 28, 2019Inventor: Joshua Edward Lane

Publication number: 20160030685Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a device for the reduction of needle insertion site pain in patients. Various embodiments comprise a shell defining a hollow interior cavity filled at least in part by a freezable substance. The shell defines a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and a passage extending through the shell between the first surface and the second surface, wherein the passage is configured to at least partially surround a needle insertion site while a needle is inserted therethrough. At least one of the first and second surfaces comprise a plurality of protrusions distributed therein and configured to be depressed into the skin of the patient. When chilled and depressed against the patient's skin, the freezable device provides a sensory confusion sensation to the patient, thereby reducing perceived pain caused by the needle insertion.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2015Publication date: February 4, 2016Inventor: Joshua Edward Lane

Patent number: 9166936Abstract: A communications hub receives a messaging job creation request sent over a network connection. The messaging job creation request includes a destinations uniform resource locator (“URL”) plus an inline contents list containing content specifiers, a contents URL plus an inline destinations list containing recipient specifiers, or a destinations URL plus a contents URL. The destinations URL identifies a list of recipient specifiers, each with a delivery address and mode. The contents URL identifies content specifiers for content to be delivered. Some recipient specifiers include merge fields for merging values into message contents. The contents URL itself may include a merge field for merging to obtain a merged contents URL which then identifies a content specifier location. The URLs and the merge fields can appear in various combinations, thereby supporting flexible message customization without hindering bulk messaging.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2014Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Parlant Technology, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Bartholomew Stovall, Thomas Edward Lane, Stephen T. Jibson

Publication number: 20130024524Abstract: Various implementations of the present invention are provided as a network computer system configured to allow for creating, rating, tracking, monitoring, and disseminating user-created and user-customizable messages. The network computer system provides a user interface that allows a user to create templates for message creation, messages from the templates, ratings for messages (message “bias”), databases for storing templates and messages (message queue), and ratings, as well as storage for information related to the monitoring and tracking of messages as they are delivered to the intended recipients. The ability to create multiple messages, with disparate content, intended for disparate audiences, with batch sorting and sending, is also provided. Messages can be provided via commercial messaging services such as email, snail mail, telephone, SMS, facsimile, social media networking sites (e.g. Facebook® messages, Twitter® “tweets”, etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2012Publication date: January 24, 2013Applicant: PARLANT TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: John Graff, Dane Dellenbach, Bruce Hassler, Jacob Stephen Hutchings, David George Przybyla, Thomas Edward Lane, Daniel Bartholomew Stovall, Tyson Loric Holmes

Publication number: 20070197876Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of medical devices used in orotracheal intubation. The insertion and manipulation of laryngoscopes used by medical personnel may occasionally cause damage or breakage of incisors or other maxillary teeth. The present invention provides a device useful for the prevention of tooth damage occurring with common laryngoscopes and other airway intubation systems. The device comprises an upper mouthguard for the maxillary teeth attached to blocks or wedges for keeping the jaw open. Optionally, a light such as an LED may be incorporated in one of the blocks to facilitate the intubation procedure. The invention is placed into the subject's mouth, and then intubation using a laryngoscope may be safely performed. Once intubation has been accomplished, and the laryngoscope has been removed, the dental guard of this invention may be retained in the patient's jaw as a bite block, or removed, or replaced with another type of bite block.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2006Publication date: August 23, 2007Inventor: Edward Lane
