Publication number: 20200368053Abstract: A method for deploying an expandable implant in a body passage of varying diameter includes selecting a balloon having a radial dimension that varies, when the balloon is inflated, in accordance with the varying diameter of the body passage. The balloon is inserted, in a deflated state, into the body passage, with the expandable implant fitted radially around the balloon. The balloon is inflated so as to cause the implant to open, responsively to the varying radial dimension of the balloon, into an expanded shape that approximately matches the varying diameter of the body passage, thus anchoring the implant in the body passage.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2020Publication date: November 26, 2020Inventors: Shmuel Ben-Muvhar, Ilan Shalev, Jonathan Tsehori, Nissim Darvish

Patent number: 8556954Abstract: Methods of using flow reducing implants for treatment of abnormal growths in the body are described. In embodiments of the claimed subject matter, a source blood vessel feeding the abnormal growth is first determined, and a flow reducing implant is then inserted into the source blood vessel to reduce the blood flow through the source blood vessel. The flow reducing implant includes at least one flared section for contacting a blood vessel wall, and at least one narrowed section defining a flow passage. Anchor tabs that lie generally in a plane of the flared section may also be employed.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2009Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Neovasc Medical LtdInventors: Shmuel Ben Muvhar, Ilan Shalev, Jonathan Tsehori, Nissim Darvish

Patent number: 8342098Abstract: A projectile launched from a conventional weapon; upon impact with a human target the projectile attaches to the target and stuns and disables the target by applying a pulsed electrical charge. The electric round is defined as non lethal ammunition directed to incapacitate a human, to prevent him from moving for a short time, to prevent him from committing a crime and to allow authorized personnel to arrest the target. A novel thin film technology transformer and thin film technology battery produce an electrical shock capable of stunning a human being in a device the size of a conventional bullet. The transformer and battery are smaller and lighter than conventional transformers and batteries with similar power output.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2006Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Security Devices International Inc.Inventors: Ilan Shalev, Matwey Bereznitsky, Haim Danon, Nathan Blaunstein, Ginnadii Swarzshtein

Patent number: 8336462Abstract: A method for incapacitating an object using a non-lethal projectile equipped with a motion sensing device. The non-lethal projectile is fired at and preferably attaches to the object. Motion of the object is monitored by the motion sensing device. Upon sensing motion of the object, the non-lethal projectile provides a first or another incapacitating stimulus to the object if the motion is sensed as meeting at least one criterion. The criterion may be based on a previously determined algorithm or the threshold is previously determined.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2009Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: SDI - Security Device International Inc.Inventors: Haim Danon, Ilan Shalev

Patent number: 8061276Abstract: A projectile is provided for use in a non-lethal weapon system. The projectile includes a first body with a longitudinal axis. The projectile having kinetic energy is launched substantially along the longitudinal axis in the direction of a target. The projectile preferably includes a second body with the same longitudinal axis and a hollow. A portion of the first body fits marginally within the hollow. The elastic mechanism includes an elastic deformation of the first body and/or second body while the first body is forced into the hollow during the impact.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: SDI—Security Device International Inc.Inventors: Haim Danon, Ilan Shalev

Patent number: 7861657Abstract: A projectile is provided for use in a non-lethal weapon system. The projectile having kinetic energy is launched substantially along the longitudinal axis in the direction of a target. Upon impact of the projectile with the target an elastic mechanism absorbs elastically a first portion of the kinetic energy. A locking mechanism stores the first portion of the kinetic energy within the elastic mechanism; whereby the remaining kinetic energy of the impact is reduced to a non-lethal level of the target. The projectile preferably includes a deformable head attached to the first body. The deformable head is formed from a viscoelastic material which manifests both the elastic mechanism (with the elastic mechanical properties of the viscoelastic material) and further manifests the locking mechanism with the viscous properties of the viscoelastic material.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: SDI - Security Device International, Inc.Inventors: Haim Danon, Ilan Shalev

Publication number: 20100179643Abstract: A narrowing intraluminal stent is disclosed and comprises a hollow body and a flow passage therethrough, the hollow body designed for intraluminal placement and having “at least one portion of an inner cross sectional dimension smaller than the cross sectional dimension of the lumen, so as to artificially narrow a passage through the body lumen. A method of artificially narrowing a passage through a body lumen using the stent is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2009Publication date: July 15, 2010Applicant: NEOVASC MEDICAL LTD.Inventor: Ilan Shalev
