Patent number: 11886326Abstract: Techniques for configuring test operations on a per-module basis are disclosed. A system receives a command for configuring, on a per-module basis, test operations recited in a set of module code corresponding to a particular module of a plurality of modules in a module system. The module system specifies accessibility of each module in the plurality of modules to other modules in the plurality of modules. The system stores configuration information based on the command and configures a test operation included in an element of the particular module based on the stored configuration information. Configuring the test operation includes one of: (a) enabling the test operation without affecting other code recited in-line with the test operation in the element of the particular module; or (b) disabling the test operation without affecting other code recited in-line with the test operation in the element of the particular module.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Chris Hegarty, Daniel Jean-Michel Fuchs, Sean James Coffey

Patent number: 10837413Abstract: An air delivery system for an engine includes a first air filter, a second air filter, a first conduit, a second conduit, an air box, and a third conduit. Each of the first air filter and the first conduit, and each of the second air filter and the second conduit are disposed at a first angle with respect to a lateral axis of the air box. The first angle is adapted to limit restriction to flow of intake air from each of the first air filter and the second air filter toward the air box. The third conduit is disposed at a second angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the air box. The second angle is adapted to limit restriction to the flow of intake air from the air box to the engine.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Kalpeshbhai Ghanshyambhai Patel, Qinyang Rao, Dallas James Coffey, Amit Kashyap, Daniel Unger

Patent number: 9060892Abstract: A vascular endoprosthesis (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) includes a radially-expandable first segment and a radially expandable second segment. The vascular endoprosthesis further includes first and second coupling elements. The first coupling element extends from the proximal end of the first segment toward the distal end of the second segment, and the second coupling element extends from the distal end of the second segment toward the proximal end of the first segment. The first and second coupling elements cooperate one with another to couple the first and second segments together when the vascular endoprosthesis is in a delivery configuration and to decouple the first and second segments when the vascular endoprosthesis is in a deployed configuration.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2009Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: ABBOTT LABORATORIES VASCULAR ENTERPRISES LIMITEDInventors: Randolf Von Oepen, Lorcan James Coffey, Richard R.

Patent number: 8246670Abstract: A system for delivering a medical device, such as an angioplasty balloon, includes two catheter shafts. The distal portion of a first shaft includes a first balloon and is narrower than the proximal portion. A second catheter shaft includes a second balloon and is connected to a medial portion of the first shaft. The second shaft includes a guidewire passageway which is in communication with the passageway of a third shaft that is removably connected to the first shaft. The distal tips of the first and second balloons are connected together to allow the system to be advanced to an anatomical site using a single guidewire. A second guidewire may be used to separate the distal ends of the balloons and to position the balloons at vascular bifurcation. A stent can be crimped onto the balloons such that inflation of the balloons implants the stent within the bifurcation.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2007Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Abbott Cardiovascular Systems Inc.Inventors: Randolf Von Oepen, Thomas Michael Rieth, Lorcan James Coffey, Richard Roy Newhauser, Travis Richard Yribarren

Publication number: 20120209368Abstract: A stent delivery catheter system for accurately positioning a stent in a bifurcated vessel is disclosed. The system includes a catheter having a terminal portion and distal tip that is placed in a main branch of the vessel proximate the bifurcation. A fixed guidewire is attached to distal tip. A port is defined in the terminal portion of the catheter. The port is aligned with an ostium of a side branch of the bifurcated vessel to allow the passage of a stent delivery device, such as a balloon catheter having a stent crimped thereon, into the side branch. Radiopaque bands are positioned on opposite ends of the port. A positioning balloon is included on a surface of the catheter opposite the port and is selectively inflatable to position the radiopaque bands adjacent the side branch ostium. The radiopaque bands are referenced to place the stent proximate the side branch ostium.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2012Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: ABBOTT LABORATORIESInventors: Randolf Von Oepen, Thomas Michael Rieth, Lorcan James Coffey, Richard Roy Newhauser, Travis Richard Yribarren
