Publication number: 20180021045Abstract: A system includes an inner filling structure around a stent-structure and an outer filling structure around the inner filling structure. The inner filling structure can be configured to produce a proximal seal with a first portion of an artery at a proximal end and a distal seal with a second portion of an artery at a distal end when the inner filling structure is in an inflacted state. The outer filling structure can have an inner surface surrounding at least a portion of the inner filling strucutre. The outer filling structure can be configured to be inflatable to occupy a space within an aneurysm at a lower pressure than a pressure in the inner filling structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2015Publication date: January 25, 2018Inventors: David Deaton, Eric Noda, Carlos Ortega, Girma Kebede, Kaushik Patel, Swanand Sardesai

Publication number: 20170079821Abstract: An implant configured for ingestion by a patient. After the implant has been swallowed by the patient and is disposed within the target location, e.g. the patient's stomach, an inflation subcomponent causes the implant to expand from a compact delivery state to an expanded, volume-occupying, deployed state. In the deployed state the implant creates a sensation of satiety in the patient stomach and thereby aids in limiting food intake and obesity. After a predetermined time a deflation subcomponent is actuated and the implant reduces in size so as to allow it to pass through the remainder of the patient's digestive track. The device may further incorporate tracking and visualization subcomponents, as well as pharmaceutical delivery subcomponents.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2016Publication date: March 23, 2017Inventors: Mark C. Brister, Nelson Quintana, Kaushik A. Patel, Neil R. Drake, Antonio C. Llevares, Dubravka Markovic, Andrew P. Rasdal, Amy D.L. VandenBerg

Patent number: 9475061Abstract: A paper shredder includes a housing, cutters positioned in the housing, and a feeder base coupled to the housing and adapted to support a stack of papers. The feeder base includes a feeder slot through which paper passes for shredding in the cutters. The feeder base further includes an aperture formed in the feeder base at a location spaced from the feeder slot. The aperture provides a pathway between a top surface of the feeder base and a waste area below the feeder base and has an edge with multiple surfaces that enhance an ability of the edge to peel away sheets of paper from the stack.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2016Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: ACCO UK LimitedInventors: Paul A. Aries, Kaushik Patel

Patent number: 9343450Abstract: A wafer scale implementation of an opto-electronic transceiver assembly process utilizes a silicon wafer as an optical reference plane and platform upon which all necessary optical and electronic components are simultaneously assembled for a plurality of separate transceiver modules. In particular, a silicon wafer is utilized as a “platform” (interposer) upon which all of the components for a multiple number of transceiver modules are mounted or integrated, with the top surface of the silicon interposer used as a reference plane for defining the optical signal path between separate optical components. Indeed, by using a single silicon wafer as the platform for a large number of separate transceiver modules, one is able to use a wafer scale assembly process, as well as optical alignment and testing of these modules.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2014Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Kalpendu Shastri, Vipulkumar Patel, Mark Webster, Prakash Gothoskar, Ravinder Kachru, Soham Pathak, Rao V.
