Publication number: 20240102560Abstract: A valve may have a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The valve may include a valve stem having a lumen extending from a first opening at a proximal portion of the valve stem to a second opening at a distal end of the valve stem. A plurality of seals may be positioned relative to the valve stem. The valve stem and seals may be configured so that a fluid entering the inlet is prevented from flowing to the outlet in a first position of the valve stem and relative to the inlet and the outlet. The valve stem and the seals may be configured so that a fluid entering the inlet flows to the outlet in a second position of the valve stem relative to the inlet and the outlet, the second position being more distal than the first position relative to the inlet and the outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Larry STANTON, Allyn JENSRUD, James SCUTTI, Colby HARRIS, Robb GAVALIS

Patent number: 11876767Abstract: A mobile application for integrating a location sharing event with a messaging platform such as a text messaging or email platform allows users to be prompted about location sharing when at least a part of the message includes location or time information. In one embodiment, the mobile application takes the form of an integrated location sharing application that parses the message to discern the relevant location or time information. The application may also provide a notification of a future event and may optionally generate a location sharing event based on the notification. In another embodiment, the application permits interactive route sharing between at least two computing devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Glympse, Inc.Inventors: Bryan Trussel, Stephen Miller, James Stanton, Jason Keimig, Craig Link

Patent number: 11008900Abstract: A valvetrain for an internal combustion engine of the type that has a combustion chamber, a moveable valve having a seat formed in the combustion chamber, and a camshaft includes a rocker arm assembly, a pivot providing a fulcrum for a rocker arm of the rocker arm assembly, and a latch assembly. An electrical device mounted to the rocker arm assembly receives power or communicates through a circuit that includes an electrical connection formed by abutment between surfaces of two distinct parts. The rocker arm assembly is operative to move one of the two abutting surfaces relative to the other in response to actuation of the cam follower. Forming an electrical connection through abutting surfaces that are free to undergo relative motion may reduce or eliminate the need to run wires to a mobile portion of the rocker arm assembly.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2020Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Petr Liskar, Jiri Cecrle, Dale Arden Stretch, Michael J.

Patent number: 9332037Abstract: According to at least one embodiment of the invention, a protocol for managing redundant signaling links to form a reliable signaling connection is provided. The protocol has an initialization phase, in which the availability of signaling links is determined and an available signaling link is selected and activated, followed by an operational phase in which the activated link is used for sending signaling messages for a higher-level protocol. During the operational phase both links are monitored for availability using a query and reply technique. Should either link fail, a status message is sent to the remaining available link along with an activity switchover being performed, as required, depending on whether the failed link was the active link.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2003Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Balachandar S.

Patent number: 9190886Abstract: A foot-powered energy generation device includes a step plate that moves between an upper position and a lower position in response to the step action of a user. The device also includes an electrical generator, and a gear train that will cause a rotor of the generator to rotate in response to movement of the step plate up and down. A carriage is mechanically interconnected to the step plate and the gear train to cause the rotation of the gear train in response to the step plate motion.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Sole Power, LLCInventors: Matthew James Stanton, Hahna Alexander, Spencer Williams, Sarah Stroup, Arianna Golden
