Publication number: 20240099867Abstract: Stents useable for treating venous stenosis are disclosed. In embodiments, a stent is configured to be auxetic, expanding axially as it is expanded radially, to prevent the imposition of tension on portions of a blood vessel adjacent to the stented portion of the blood vessel, and thereby prevent a narrowing of the adjacent portions and improving luminal gain. The stent may include one or more cross members that are deformable axially, to allow the axial length of the stent to be adjusted while maintaining a constant diameter, and further to allow the stent to be curved to conform to vessel curvature.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Ramsey Al-Hakim, Khashayar Farsad, John Kaufman, Craig Bonsignore

Patent number: 11554006Abstract: A removable blood clot filter includes a number of locator members and anchor members disposed radially and extending angularly downward from a hub. The locator members include a number of linear portions having distinct axes configured to place a tip portion approximately parallel to the walls of a blood vessel when implanted to apply sufficient force to the vessel walls to position the filter near the vessel centerline. The anchor members each include a hook configured to penetrate the vessel wall to prevent longitudinal movement due to blood flow. The hooks may have a cross section sized to allow for a larger radius of curvature under strain so that the filter can be removed without damaging the vessel wall.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: C. R. Bard Inc.Inventors: Robert M. Carr, Jr., Andrzej J. Chanduszko, John D. McDermott, John A. Kaufman

Patent number: 10726026Abstract: The innovation relates to systems and/or methodologies for facilitating dynamic sustainability searches. A sustainability search component executes a query, and returns one or more results that satisfy a set of search criteria and a set of sustainability factors. The search criteria can include keywords, such as product types, process types, and additional features related to the keywords, such as price, location, brand, and so forth. The sustainability factors are alternative cost measures for a given process, product, or plant element. The sustainability search component can analyze the returned results, and rank the results based on sustainability.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Marcia Elaine Walker, Philip John Kaufman
