  • Patent number: 11944768
    Abstract: A method of using a catheter assembly for inserting in a fluid filled space in a body includes providing a main body having a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is positioned within the fluid filled space. The second end portion is adjusted to extend outwardly from the fluid filled space when the first end portion is positioned within the fluid filled space. A catheter tip is connected to the second end portion of the main body. The catheter tip includes a housing having a cavity defined therein and a rotating element positioned within the fluid filled space. The rotating element is rotated within the cavity of the housing to impart movement of the first end portion of the main body within the fluid filled space.

  • Patent number: 11210598
    Abstract: A system and method for providing customized content recommendations to a user based on extrapolated data is described. The system may receive an answer to a question from a user and determine a second unanswered question having a threshold relationship level with the question. The system may compute a predicted probability that the user would answer the second question correctly, calculate a first comparative skill level of the user among a cohort of similar users, and rank the first comparative skill level of the user against a second comparative skill level of the cohort to determine a skill gap of the user. Further, in some implementations, the system may generate a search query based on the skill gap of the user, and determine recommended content customized to the skill gap of the user.
