  • Publication number: 20250318864
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a cryogenic device for ablating tissue. The device can comprise a handle comprising one or more tabs on lateral sides of the handle. The handle can further comprise an unlocked configuration in which the one or more tabs are pressed into an interior of the handle. The device can further comprise an elongated probe extending from the handle. The device can further comprise a receptacle, wherein the handle connects the elongated probe to the receptacle. The device can further comprise a plate within the handle. The plate can be configured to lock the one or more tabs in a locked configuration of the handle such that the handle is locked into the receptacle when one or more fluid supply passageways is pressurized, wherein the plate is moved axially by one or more elastic members between the locked configuration and the unlocked configuration.

  • Patent number: 9846722
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for distributing content are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes accessing data specifying a plurality of search queries. Content distribution campaigns (“campaigns”) in which distribution of at least one content item is conditioned on a distribution parameter matching one of the search queries are identified. Two or more similar campaigns are identified, and a search query that matches a distribution parameter in at least one of the similar campaigns is identified as a candidate content distribution parameter. A trend score for the candidate content distribution parameter is determined based on a change in a submission rate of search queries that match the candidate distribution parameter. Suggestion data suggesting the candidate content distribution parameter as an additional content distribution parameter for at least one of the similar campaigns is provided based on the trend score.

  • Publication number: 20120053963
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a system and method for dynamically scheduling patient medical facility appointments. The present invention is capable of contacting patients to ensure that each patient will be present for the appointment and is capable of dynamically adjusting the schedule in the event the patient plans to be late or plans to cancel the appointment. The present invention is also capable of contacting patients to reschedule appointments in the event that their medical service provider unexpectedly becomes unavailable. The system's scheduling method has the effect of increasing medical facility efficiency and standardizing medical facility wait time for the patients and thereby increasing profitability and increasing patient convenience.
