Publication number: 20240108463Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve includes an inner frame having a longitudinal axis, a plurality of prosthetic leaflets coupled to the inner frame, the plurality of prosthetic leaflets configured to allow blood to flow through the inner frame in an antegrade direction along the longitudinal axis and to substantially block blood from flowing through the inner frame in a retrograde direction along the longitudinal axis, an outer frame connected to the inner frame, and a sealing feature coupled to the inner frame at a coupling point and extending partially, but not completely, between the coupling point and a point of the outer frame that is radially outward of the coupling point in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, and wherein in an implanted condition, the sealing feature is positioned such that backpressure from ventricular systole acts on the sealing feature.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Cephea Valve Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jared Floersch, Carlton Jones, Zachary R. Vidlund

Patent number: 11931307Abstract: A method of operating an exoskeleton system that includes obtaining a first set of sensor data from one or more sensors associated with one or more leg actuator units of an exoskeleton system during a user activity, the first set of sensor data indicating a first configuration state of the one or more actuator units; determining, based at least in part on the first set of obtained sensor data, to change configuration of the one or more leg actuator units to a second configuration state to support a user during the user activity; and introducing fluid to one or more fluidic actuators of the one or more leg actuator units to generate the second configuration state by causing the one or more fluidic actuators to apply force at the one or more actuator units.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Roam Robotics Inc.Inventors: Kyle Allen Lamson, Austin Campbell, Ashley Swartz, Robert Stuart, Kevin Conrad Kemper, Phil Long, Jared Jones, Garrett Hurley, Timothy Alan Swift

Publication number: 20220169492Abstract: A method and apparatus of filing beverage combines pressurized beverage delivery (rather than gravity feed) with variable pressure control of the gas flow from the can during snift. By modulating beverage flow and especially pressure, it is possible to saturate a beverage, or optionally fill a can's widget with gas with a shorter set of fill steps. In addition, the speed of beverage filling can be dramatically increased compared to small scale systems normally used. Unlike known large scale pressure systems, the beverage bowl may be located beneath the rest of the apparatus and modulated pressure may be used, making for a smaller and more portable unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2022Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: Jared Jones, William Jones, Matthew Wetterlin

Patent number: 11274023Abstract: A method and apparatus of filing beverage combines pressurized beverage delivery (rather than gravity feed) with variable pressure control of the beverage flow into the can. By modulating beverage flow and especially beverage pressure, it is possible to fill a can's widget (gas reservoir) with gas with a shorter set of fill steps. In addition, the speed of beverage filling can be dramatically increased compared to small scale systems normally used. Unlike known large scale pressure systems, the beverage bowl may be located beneath the rest of the apparatus and modulated pressure may be used, making for a smaller and more portable unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Inventors: Jared Jones, William Jones, Matthew Wetterlin

Publication number: 20210177686Abstract: An exoskeleton system having an actuator unit configured to be coupled to a leg of a user. The actuator unit includes an upper arm and a lower arm that are rotatably coupled via a joint, the joint positioned at a knee of the user with the upper arm coupled about an upper leg portion of the user above the knee and with the lower arm coupled about a lower leg portion of the user below the knee; a fluidic actuator that extends between the upper arm and lower arm; and one or more fluid lines coupled to the fluidic actuator to introduce fluid to the fluidic actuator that causes force to be applied to the upper arm and lower arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2020Publication date: June 17, 2021Inventors: Kyle Allen Lamson, Austin Campbell, Ashley Swartz, Robert Stuart, Kevin Conrad Kemper, Phil Long, Jared Jones, Garrett Hurley, Timothy Alan Swift

Publication number: 20210025186Abstract: The present concrete crack repair device (CCRD) can be comprised of two nodules connected by an elongated strip wherein the elongated strip can be narrower than the nodules in at least one plane. Both the elongated strip and the nodules can comprise carbon fibers wherein most of the carbon fibers are located within the same plane maximizing the tensile strength of the device. Installation of the CCRD can be performed by drilling holes into the surface of the concrete on either side of the crack and cutting a slot in the surface of the concrete between the two holes, or adding the holes after the slot has been cut, wherein the slot and holes are located in a line that is roughly perpendicular to the crack. The CCRD can then be installed by placing each nodule in a hole and the elongated strip within the slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Robert Luke Secrest, Jared A. Jones, Gary L. Fox, Robert K. Smith

Patent number: 10758963Abstract: A continuous motion position controlled in-line linear seamer allows a manufacturer or brewery such as a microbrewery to have high speed can seaming (attachment of lids to full cans of beverage) with a single compact, inexpensive, independent and repositionable seaming machine. The seaming is carried out in-line with production, and is done using a linear can path with no need for a large carousel. The motion is continuous because a variable pitch worm drive is constantly operating, driving cans at different speeds for different portions of the can path, including one portion of the path at which the can may remain motionless while being seamed.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2017Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: CODI MANUFACTURING, INC.Inventors: Jared Jones, Matthew Wetterlin, Michael Hoffman

Patent number: 10694948Abstract: A first exoskeleton is in communication with a central server or a peripheral device. The first exoskeleton collects first data and transmits the first data to the central server or peripheral device. The central server or peripheral device generates second data using the first data and transmits the second data to the first exoskeleton or a second exoskeleton.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2016Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: EKSO BIONICSInventors: Reuben Sandler, Katherine Strausser, Mark Fiedler, Kurt Amundson, Dan Brown, Renata Smith, Matthew D Sweeney, Russdon Angold, Niel McCaffrey, Duane Edmonds, Chris Meadows, Jared Jones, Kelly Mettler
