Publication number: 20180236205Abstract: Loading tools for use with medical devices are disclosed. An example loading tool may include a tubular sleeve having a proximal end region, a distal end region, and a lumen. The distal end region may be designed to be engaged with a resilient seal member of a hemostasis valve so that a medical device disposed within the lumen can be passed through the resilient seal member. The tubular sleeve may include a tube wall. At least a portion of the tube wall may overlap to define an overlapping region.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2018Publication date: August 23, 2018Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: DANIEL LEE KRAUTKREMER, DANIEL J.

Patent number: 6571238Abstract: Method and apparatus for regulating a flow of information to one or more users is disclosed. A system includes a relevancy threshold for a user and an incoming message having a relevancy score, the relevancy score indicating a relevancy of the incoming message to the user. A method for regulating a flow of information to a user of the system is disclosed. The method determines whether the relevancy score of the incoming message satisfies the relevancy threshold, and delivers to the user message information derived from the incoming message and adjusting the relevancy threshold when the relevancy score of the incoming message satisfies the relevancy threshold. The method adjusts the relevancy threshold by an amount determined by a time-dependent function when the relevancy score of the incoming message does not satisfy the relevancy threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 1999Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: Abuzz Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jordan Pollack, Jeremy Stevenson, Zak Umanoff
