Patent number: 11944350Abstract: A knob locking assembly for a laparoscopic medical device is provided. The knob locking assembly includes a lock configured to engage the knob locking assembly with a drive tube housing of the laparoscopic medical device in extended and retracted positions where the knob locking assembly rotates but does not translate with respect to the drive tube housing when engaged. The knob locking assembly also has a biasing member that provides a biasing force for biasing the lock in each of the extended and retracted positions to lock out longitudinal translation of the rotatable drive assembly when the knob locking assembly is engaged with the drive tube. In addition, the knob locking assembly includes an actuator to counter the biasing force for disengaging the lock to permit longitudinal translation of the rotatable drive assembly via the knob locking assembly when disengaged.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Gyrus ACMI, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey MacDonald, Jeffrey Radziunas, Carollynn Goldenberg, Zev Kartiganer, Judy L.

Publication number: 20210137560Abstract: A colpotomy device for performing a hysterectomy is provided. The device includes a flexible drive tube having a proximal end and a distal end and bendable therebetween. The device also has a rotatable cutting implement at the distal end of the flexible drive tube at a specified offset from a bendable longitudinal axis of the flexible drive tube. Furthermore, the device includes couplings located within the flexible drive tube and rotatable about the bendable longitudinal axis of the flexible drive tube. The couplings can be in a series that includes inter-coupling joints and transmits a rotational force between the proximal and distal ends of the flexible drive tube through a variable angle between the couplings. The variable angle can correspond to bending of the drive tube in order to drive rotation of the cutting implement at the specified offset about the axis of the flexible drive tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2020Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Jeffrey MacDonald, Jeffrey Radziunas, Lynn MacDonald, Zev Kartiganer

Publication number: 20200118156Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically providing a lending offer for loyalty points based on a customer account analysis. One example method includes initiating an offer analysis for a customer account associated with a particular customer and storing an account balance and a point deficit balance. The offer analysis determines whether to provide an offer for a point loan, and is based on profile information of the customer, a current point balance, and a reward identified from the loyalty account. If an offer is to be provided, an offer for a loan of points equal to the difference between the current point balance of a loyalty account and the point value cost of the reward is transmitted to a client device of the customer. If accepted, the current point balance and the point deficit are both incremented by the amount of the offer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2018Publication date: April 16, 2020Inventors: Adrian Bloy, Danielle Marie Mullenax, Dominic Elia, Michael James Taggart, Lance Lucas Leisher, Arlene Lori Maciver, Christiane Jewer, Ameya Warty, Javon Tavoy Findlator, Sean Michael Mullen, Stacey-Anne Callender, Jeffrey MacDonald, Sheirline Hanna
