Patent number: 11953808Abstract: A mounting system for an image capture device that includes three pivotably connected arms is disclosed. The first arm includes a first fastener that is lockable and unlockable to allow for connection and disconnection of the image capture device, and a second fastener that is lockable and unlockable to regulate the position of the image capture device relative to the first arm. The mounting system further includes a third fastener that is lockable and unlockable to regulate the relative positioning between the first arm and the second arm, and a fourth fastener that is lockable and unlockable to regulate the relative positioning between the second arm and the third arm. Whereas the first fastener is removable, each of the second, third, and fourth fasteners is captive to (nonremovable from) the mounting system.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Huy Phuong Nguyen, Bessy Liang, John George Muhlenkamp, IV, Scott Alberstein, Joshua T.

Patent number: 9173751Abstract: The invention relates to an expandable stent comprising circumferentially adjacent modules. The modules comprise longitudinally adjacent slide-and-lock radial elements which permit one-way sliding of the radial elements from a collapsed diameter to an expanded/deployed diameter, but inhibit radial recoil from the expanded diameter.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: REVA MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Eric V. Schmid, John D. Nguyen, Steven C. Howard, Orlando M. Padilla, Andrew Morris, Robert F. Eisele, Daniel Moore, Thomas R. Jackson, Joan Zeltinger

Patent number: 8617235Abstract: The invention relates generally to expandable medical implants for maintaining support of a body lumen and, in particular, to an axially nested, diametrically expandable, slide and lock vascular device for enlarging an occluded portion of a vessel. The axially nested vascular device desirably achieves both competitive crossing profiles while maintaining other key features, such as, for example, radial strength and luminal patency. The collapsed profile can also be made very thin without compromising radial strength. Thus, the vascular device can advantageously be deployed in small and difficult to reach areas or vessels. The axial nesting substantially eliminates radial overlap between mating structural elements thereby desirably allowing for a low, uniform profile.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: REVA Medical, Inc.Inventors: Eric V. Schmid, John D. Nguyen, Orlando Padilla, Andrew Morris, Daniel Moore, Thomas R. Jackson

Patent number: 8335879Abstract: A technique for differentiating nodes in a multi-node electronic system includes establishing an intended configuration for the system, the configuration including a number of nodes to be installed and a specification of intended node locations. A node ID for each of multiple nodes to be installed in the system is established, and the multiple nodes are installed. Using the node ID established for each of the multiple nodes, a determination is made whether the multiple nodes as installed comply with the intended configuration.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2010Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Larry E Wilson, Hank Dao, Vi T Lu, Adnan T Gunduz, John D Nguyen

Patent number: 8167933Abstract: An annuloplasty system for repairing a valve in a patient's heart comprises a surgical implant including a member having first and second end portions. The implant member further is configured and/or adapted to form a partial ring along a portion of one of the valve annulae of a patient's heart such as the mitral or tricuspid valve annulus. The implant member is axially elastic such that it can axially expand and contract and includes first and second anchors extending from the end portions of the implant member. The anchors are adapted to anchor the implant in tissue such as the mitral or tricuspid valve annulus. The system can facilitate tissue plication (e.g., of the posterior annulus of the mitral valve or the annulus of the tricuspid valve) and reinforcement of a valve annulus.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2010Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Lee, Norman Fung, John D.
