  • Publication number: 20250102119
    Abstract: An automatic changeover valve switches fluid communication between a fluid outlet and either a first cylinder or a second cylinder, wherein the first and second cylinders hold one or more fluids, such as a liquified gas fuel. A detection device detects acceleration information of the automatic changeover valve. A processing unit analyzes the detected acceleration information and determines when the detected acceleration information indicates that the automatic changeover valve is switching the fluid communication of the gas fuel outlet from the first cylinder to the second cylinder. An alert to a remote computing system is generated of the changeover event.

  • Patent number: 12256920
    Abstract: A method of suturing a tissue opening can comprise placing a tissue-facing surface of a first pad, a second pad and a third pad over respective tissue areas adjacent to the tissue opening. The second pad can be positioned on a first side of the first pad and the third pad can be positioned on a second side of the first pad. The first and second pads can be coupled to a suture, the suture forming a stitch over the upper surface of each of the respective pads. The suture can be stitched through an area of tissue between the first pad and the second pad, between the second pad and the third pad, and between the third pad and the first pad. A first distal portion and a second distal portion of the suture can be coupled to the third pad for forming the purse-string suture.

  • Publication number: 20250090323
    Abstract: An annuloplasty ring for repair of mitral valves whose shape can be altered directly or remotely to perform post-implant size and/or shape adjustments. One version of the annuloplasty ring has a size-adjustable remodeling inner core within an outer suture-permeable interface for attaching the ring to an annulus. The inner core has a size-adjustable segment formed by short spaced-apart tubular sections that can move toward and way from one another such as on rails. Alternatively, short sections separated by compressible connectors may be used. One or more tethers may be attached to one side of the size-adjustable segment and pulled from the other side to constrict the segment. Multiple tethers may be connect at different locations around the ring to provide some control over where the ring constricts. An adjustment handle with a flexible shaft may be operated from outside the body to adjust the ring post-implant.

  • Patent number: 12235351
    Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for a continuous-wave (CW) radar system for detecting, geolocating, identifying, discriminating between, and mapping ferrous and non-ferrous metals in brackish and saltwater environments. The radar system (e.g., the CW radar system) generates multiple extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves simultaneously and uses said waves to detect, locate, and classify objects of interest. These objects include all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as changing material boundary layers (e.g., soil to water, sand to mud, rock to organic materials, water to air, etc.). The radar system (e.g., the CW radar system) is operable to detect objects of interest in near real time.
