  • Methods and apparatuses for fitting an object
    Publication number: 20170216056
    Abstract: Linings for fitting an object to a body part, and their use, are provided. The lining may include a flexible sheet having a fluid impenetrable outer portion enclosing an internal volume and the lining may include barriers forming a number of compartments substantially secured in place within the internal volume. The barriers may be permeable to gas and/or liquid, yet may be impermeable to the conformable material and the gas and/or liquid may be supplied to or aspirated from one or more compartments within the internal volume. Aspiration of gas and/or liquid from the internal volume may limit both deformation of the conformable material and shape adjustment of the flexible sheet.

  • Broad spectrum ErBB ligand binding molecules and methods for preparing and using them
    Patent number: 9683222
    Abstract: Chimeric ErbB ligand binding molecules having detectable binding activity for more ErbB ligands than any one of native ErbB1, ErbB3 or ErbB4 are disclosed. Preferably, the binding molecules bind a broad spectrum and, more preferably, the full spectrum of ErbB ligands. The chimeric ErbB ligand binding molecules generally have a subunit LI derived from one of Erb-B1, 3, or 4 and a subunit LII derived from another distinct ErbB receptor type. The sub-domain, SI, which joins LI and LII can be from either one of the receptor types or can have portions from both. Pharmaceutical compositions that contain the molecules and methods for the treatment of ErbB sensitive diseases are also disclosed.

  • EXPANDABLE DEVICE SHEATH FOR VASCULAR CLOSURE PLUG DEPLOYMENT
    Publication number: 20170112480
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to methods and devices for closing and/or sealing an opening in a vessel wall and/or an adjacent tissue tract. In some cases, the device includes a sheath having a distal end that can expand radially as needed. In some cases, the distal portion of the sheath is weakened so that it may tear in a predetermined manner. In some cases, the distal portion of the sheath is weakened so that it may deform plastically in a predetermined manner. In some cases, the distal portion of the sheath or the entire sheath may be folded so that it unfolds in a predetermined manner. In general, each of these sheaths may have a relatively small introduction profile, may have a distal portion that can expand to a larger diameter than the introduction profile during use, and can be collapsed again to a smaller profile for removal.

  • Grid optimization resource dispatch scheduling
    Patent number: 9523967
    Abstract: Data comprising a request specifying a desired change in electrical load for a defined period of time is received. The electrical load is associated with a plurality of resources under control of resource agents and on a utility grid. Available capacity of resources within the control of each resource agent over the defined period of time is determined. Each available capacity is determined at least using a resource load model. Using the determined available capacity of resources over the defined period of time, resource scheduling instructions are calculated for a subset of resources. The resource scheduling instructions satisfy the desired change in electrical load of the request. Data characterizing the resource scheduling instructions is provided. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and articles are also described.
