Publication number: 20240122712Abstract: Apparatus, for use at a valve of a heart of a subject, includes a first catheter, a second catheter, and a translation element. The translation element is connected to, and operatively joins, the distal ends of the first catheter and the second catheter. The translation element is operable to translate the distal ends laterally with respect to each other to transition the apparatus between (i) a first state in which the distal ends are held next to each other for transluminal advancement to the heart, and (ii) a second state in which the distal ends are spaced apart from each other for positioning at a first location on the annulus and a second location on the annulus, respectively. The apparatus is configured to, while in the second state, from the distal ends, anchor a first tissue anchor at the first location, and a second tissue anchor at the second location.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Jonathan Goodwin, Michael W. Sutherland, Morgan House, Richard J. Morrill, Matt Guimond, Christopher C. Lee, Kate E. Cutuli, Nareak Douk

Publication number: 20240089235Abstract: A packet-filtering network appliance such as a threat intelligence gateway (TIG) protects TCP/IP networks from Internet threats by enforcing certain policies on in-transit packets that are crossing network boundaries. The policies are composed of packet filtering rules derived from cyber threat intelligence (CTI). Logs of rule-matching packets and their associated flows are sent to cyberanalysis applications located at security operations centers (SOCs) and operated by cyberanalysts. Some cyber threats/attacks, or incidents, are composed of many different flows occurring at a very high rate, which generates a flood of logs that may overwhelm computer, storage, network, and cyberanalysis resources, thereby compromising cyber defenses.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: John Fenton, Peter Geremia, Richard Goodwin, Sean Moore, Vincent Mutolo, Jess P. Parnell, Jonathan R. Rogers

Patent number: 11890194Abstract: A catheter system including a wire, a translatable catheter, and first and second tethers is introduced into a body of a subject. The translatable catheter has a curved portion proximate a distal end of the translatable catheter. The first tether is coupled to the wire, and passes proximally through the translatable catheter. The second tether is attached to the curved portion. The catheter system is positioned such that the wire is disposed at a first location in the body. While the wire remains at the first location, the translatable catheter is translated away from the wire by manipulating the first tether and the second tether. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES CORPORATIONInventors: Jonathan Goodwin, Michael W. Sutherland, Morgan House, Richard J. Morrill, Matt Guimond, Christopher C. Lee, Kate E. Cutuli, Nareak Douk

Patent number: 11395648Abstract: A plication lock delivery system that enables a suture lock assembly to be delivered percutaneously. The plication lock delivery system comprises a lock assembly that secures sutures in place, a control assembly that allows a clinician to engage a suture to a suture lock assembly, apply tension to the sutures to cause tissue plication, and deploy the lock assembly, and a catheter assembly. This plication lock delivery system can be used to repair mitral regurgitation percutaneously or in an open-heart surgery.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Michael Sutherland, Jonathan Goodwin, Megan Holmes, Christopher Lee, Adam Vigneault, John DePiano, James Sellers

Patent number: 10682232Abstract: The present teachings generally relate to translation catheter systems and method of using thereof in treating defective mitral valves. Specifically, a translation catheter system includes a catheter configured to move substantially laterally along the mitral annulus and the lateral movement of the catheter is substantially continuous and substantially adjustable. Accordingly, a method of using such a translation catheter includes advancing a first wire across the mitral annulus at a first treatment location, delivering a catheter at or near the first treatment location, moving the catheter substantially laterally to a second treatment location, and advancing a second wire across the mitral annulus, where the distance between the first and second treatment locations is substantially adjustable and optionally visualized.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Jonathan Goodwin, Michael Sutherland, Morgan House, Richard Morrill, Matt Guimond, Christopher Lee, Kate Cutuli, Nareak Douk

Patent number: 7955814Abstract: A method for the in situ production of an emulsifier in a foodstuff, wherein a lipid acyltransferase is added to the foodstuff. Preferably the emulsifier is produced without an increase or without a substantial increase in the free fatty acid content of the foodstuff. Preferably, the lipid acyltransferase is one which is capable of transferring an acyl group from a lipid to one or more of the following acyl acceptors: a sterol, a stanol, a carbohydrate, a protein or a sub-unit thereof, glycerol. Preferably, in addition to an emulsifier one or more of a stanol ester or a stanol ester or a protein ester or a carbohydrate ester or a diglyceride or a monoglyceride may be produced. One or more of these may function as an additional emulsifier.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2007Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Danisco A/SInventors: Arno De Kreij, Susan Mampusti Madrid, Jørn Dalgaard Mikkelsen, Jørn Borch Søe, Mark Turner, Jonathan Goodwins
