Publication number: 20200121460Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for disabling and/or removing a mitral valve edge-to-edge repair device via minimally invasive, endovascular procedures. Additional procedures on a heart may sometimes become necessary after the installation of a mitral valve edge-to-edge repair device. To prepare for such additional procedures, the edge-to-edge repair device may be removed or disabled in minimally invasive ways (e.g., through an endovascular procedure), without requiring open access to the heart.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventors: Theodore Paul Dale, Tracee Elizabeth Johnson Eidenschink

Patent number: 9905106Abstract: Ergonomics awareness chairs, systems, and methods are disclosed. Methods include reading sensor values from sensors in an ergonomics awareness chair, calculating a posture type based on the sensor values, determining a time the user has been continuously sitting properly, and, if the time is greater than a predetermined threshold time, alerting the user to take a break. Systems include a user-interface computer and an ergonomics awareness chair with a controller. The ergonomics awareness chair includes a shoulder sensor, a lumbar sensor, a buttocks sensor, a thigh sensor, and an armrest sensor in each of the armrests. The controller is configured to acquire sensor values from the sensors. The user-interface computer is programmed to determine at least two types of postures based on the sensor values. The types of postures may include sitting properly and sitting improperly (e.g., slouching, hunching, straining shoulders, leaning, sitting on edge, and crossing legs).Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2015Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Yueli Yang, Kiran Thomas, Timothy Stumpf, Connie Starr, Quy V.

Publication number: 20150010506Abstract: This invention provides a therapeutic placental composition comprising placental cells and other placental components derived from placental tissue. A cryopreserved placental composition is also provided. The placental compositions can be used to stimulate and promote angiogenesis, reduce inflammation, and to reduce scar formation, among others. The placental tissue can optionally be an amnion, chorion, a trophoblast-depleted chorion, umbilical cord, Wharton's jelly, placental cotyledon, and/or maternal decidua. The placental composition of the present invention is useful in treating a patient with a tissue injury (e.g., wound or burn) by applying the placental composition to the injury or in close proximity. Placental compositions may also be used to promote or increase regeneration of tissue. Similar application is useful with ligament and tendon repair and for engraftment procedures such as bone engraftment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2014Publication date: January 8, 2015Applicant: OSIRIS THERAPEUTICS, INC.Inventors: Timothy Jansen, Samson Tom, Alla Danilkovitch, Dana Yoo, Jaime Zerhusen, Gabriele Putz Todd, Amy Elizabeth Johnson
