  • Publication number: 20250032124
    Abstract: An embolization system for promoting clot formation in a body lumen (700). The system comprises a self-expandable embolization device (100), having a collapsed delivery configuration and an expanded deployed configuration in which the self-expandable embolization device (100) is radially expanded to anchor to a bodily lumen (700). The system also comprises an inflatable body (800) connected to the embolization device (100), the inflatable body (800) having a deflated configuration and an inflated configuration, wherein in the inflated configuration the inflatable body (800) anchors to the bodily lumen (700). The inflatable body (800) is positionable relative to the self-expandable embolization device (100) such that it is inflatable from the deflated configuration to the inflated configuration as the self-expandable embolization device (100) remains in the collapsed delivery configuration.

  • Patent number: 10719526
    Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing instrument specification data between a process control system and an external database are provided. A software application automatically connects to the process control system and scans a set of data utilized by the system to detect changes in the data since a previous scan. If changes are detected, the application notifies a manager to accept or reject changes. If changes are accepted, the application updates data stored on an instrumentation database external to the process control system so that the data stored on the instrumentation database is synchronized with real-time data used by the process control system. The system and method provide automated updates to ensure the accuracy of data utilized by users not having regular access to the process control system.
