Patent number: 11458285Abstract: A locking mechanism for a medical device to selective lock a first elongate member from longitudinal movement relative to a second elongate member of the medical device. The locking mechanism includes a flexible tubular member disposed in a bore of a handle assembly of the medical device, and an actuator, such as a cam member having a cam or eccentric surface. Pivotable movement of the actuator from a first position to a second position compresses or deforms the flexible tubular member against the first elongate member to lock the first elongate member from longitudinal movement relative to the handle assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Jacob Graham, Stephen Derosier, Jeffrey Bean, John Golden

Patent number: 11337836Abstract: Stent delivery systems and methods for making and using stent delivery systems are disclosed. An example stent delivery system may include a guide member having a proximal portion and a distal portion. A stent may be disposed about the distal portion of the guide member. The stent may have a wall having an opening formed therein. A pusher member may be disposed about the guide member and positioned proximal of the stent. A holding filament may be disposed at the opening and may extend to the proximal portion of the guide member. The holding filament may be configured to releasably secure the position of the stent relative to the pusher member. The holding filament may be releasable from the stent independently of movement of the guide member.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Michal Weisman, Jacob Graham, Gary Leanna, John Griego

Patent number: 10610388Abstract: A stent delivery system including an elongate shaft of a medical device, a stent selectively coupled to a distal portion of the elongate shaft, and a coupling mechanism for selectively coupling the stent to the elongate shaft by inserting a tab on one of the stent or the elongate shaft into an opening in the other of the stent or the elongate shaft. The tab may be deflected from a first position to a second position to disengage the tab from the opening.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2015Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Michael Devon Amos, John Lane, Jacob Graham, Gary J. Leanna, Andrew A. Hollett, Michal Weisman

Patent number: 9881453Abstract: A wager gaming machine may be configured not only to provide wagering games, but also to communicate with one or more hosts that can provide information and/or services pertaining to local wager gaming events, including but not limited to local tournaments, local restaurants, local messages (e.g., messages from other players in the gaming establishment), local social events, local sporting events, local dating opportunities, etc. Other hosts may provide information and/or services pertaining to business or finance (e.g., stock quotes), sports, news, weather, etc. Processes for conveying audio, video, etc., from host devices may be separate from processes used to control wager game presentations. At least some such processes may be able to output an associated “skin” on a video system of the wager gaming machine. These processes may involve providing one or more “widgets.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: IGTInventors: Jacob Graham, Gregory A. Schlottmann, Steven G.

Patent number: 9685034Abstract: A system for interfacing with a third-party application is described. The system includes a third-party device, a server-based system configured to communicate with the third-party device, and a gaming device configured to communicate with the server-based system to display content of the product or service. The gaming device is configured to generate an outcome of a wager-based game independent of the content that is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: IGTInventors: Reid M. Weber, William C. Little, Steven G. LeMay, Adrian R. Marcu, Warner R. Cockerille, IV, Nicole M. Beaulieu, David A. Gipp, Daniel De Waal, Vincent S. Manfredi, Bryan Bullard, Cara L.
