Patent number: 11403714Abstract: A system includes a vehicle system including one or more sensors that to monitor one or more properties related to an operation of a vehicle. The system also includes a processor that receives expected vehicle usage information from an applicant, a database, publicly available sources, or the like and receive a set of data including the one or more properties from the vehicle system. The set of data is associated with the expected vehicle usage information. The processor may then determine a premium base rate based at least in part on the set of data and a risk associated with the applicant and determine a vehicle rate based at least in part of the set of data and a risk associated with the vehicle. The processor may then display a visualization including the premium base rate and the vehicle rate on a display.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Igor Alexandre Gregorio, Eric John Ortiz, Veronica Montemayor, Jennifer Lynne Gravely, Earl Sargent, Fernando Sanzzi, Mark Medeiros

Patent number: 8506619Abstract: A stent comprises at least one stent member woven to form a substantially tubular body that defines a flow path. The tubular body comprises a first region and a second region. In the first region the at least one stent member defines a plurality of first region openings and in the second region at least one first portion of the at least one member and at least one second portion of the at least one member are engaged together to form at least one primary strand. The at least one primary strand defines a plurality of second region openings. The at least one of the plurality of second region openings is in fluid communication with the flow path. The plurality of second region openings provide the second region with a greater porosity than the first region.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2010Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignees: Stryker Corporation, Stryker NV Operations LimitedInventors: John Ortiz, Masoud Molaei, Frank Musbach, Brent C. Gerberding

Publication number: 20050165352Abstract: A self-expanding stent delivery assembly includes a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, a distal region, a lumen, and a longitudinal axis. A retractable sheath having an outer surface, a proximal end and a distal end is co-axially disposed around the shaft distal region. A stent is disposed co-axially between the shaft and the retractable sheath. A tubular tapered tip is affixed to the retractable sheath distal end. The tubular tapered tip has an elongate region predisposed to fracturing.
