Patent number: 11926504Abstract: A system and a method of implementing and using a preset elevator call using an elevator system and a mobile device are provided. The method includes generating the preset elevator call that includes programmed conditions that include a destination floor, storing the preset elevator call in a user profile on the mobile device and at least one corresponding triggering condition, retrieving the preset elevator call based on detecting the corresponding triggering condition, and executing the retrieved preset elevator call.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANYInventors: Lucien Wedzikowski, Adam Kuenzi, Bradley Armand Scoville, Kelly Martin Dubois, Ashley Chapman, Paul A.

Patent number: 9980801Abstract: Systems for providing support within the pelvic region of a patient. The systems can include an elongated incontinence sling having a central support portion adapted to be positioned to support any one of the urethra or anus, and a sling tension adjustment mechanism operatively attached to the elongated sling. The sling tension adjustment mechanism can include a plunger device adapted for traversal within an interior of the housing, and an inflatable bladder provided within the housing to selectively control traversal of the plunger. Alternatively, the adjustment mechanism can include a bobbin device within the housing and one or more retention devices to selectively restrict unwinding of a suture from the bobbin device.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2014Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Jason W. Ogdahl, Robert E. Lund, Jessica L. Roll, Kelly A. Chapman, John F. Otte

Publication number: 20120203199Abstract: Catheter systems and methods for facilitating the delivery of a therapeutic agent directly to the interior of a body organ, and/or the extraction of material from said organ. The catheter distal end is placed within the body organ to be treated. The catheter may carry a fixation device near the catheter distal end. When implanted, the fixation device retains the catheter distal end in the organ despite normal patient activity. The fixation device may include porous material to promote soft tissue ingrowth for anchoring the catheter distal end within the organ.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2011Publication date: August 9, 2012Applicant: INCUMED, LLCInventors: Alfred E. Mann, Gregory M. Harbers, Kelly A. Chapman, Abram D. Janis

Patent number: 8021340Abstract: A medical apparatus and method of use for implanting a percutaneous catheter in a patient's body which catheter can be easily positioned, repositioned, and replaced. The apparatus includes an elongate sleeve having a tapered forward portion to facilitate its insertion through an undersized incision. The sleeve provides an interior elongate passageway which extends from a sleeve proximal end to a sleeve distal end. The sleeve is intended to be percutaneously implanted through an incision in the patient's skin so that the sleeve distal end resides subcutaneously. The sleeve outer peripheral surface carries a layer of porous material intended to be placed under the patient's outer skin layer in contact with the dermis to promote tissue ingrowth for anchoring the sleeve and forming an infection resistant barrier. The sleeve passageway is dimensioned to snugly accommodate the outer surface of catheter while permitting the catheter to slide relative to the sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2009Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Incumed, LLCInventors: Christopher H. Porter, Claude A. Vidal, Russell J. Redmond, Byron L. Moran, Abram D. Janis, Kelly A. Chapman

Publication number: 20080127989Abstract: A flat iron comb in accordance with the present disclosure combines a comb with tongs to allow the user to section a portion of hair and clamp down with the comb portion to provide tension when the flat iron is pulled behind the flat iron comb. The flat iron comb also lines tip the hair prior to being heated by the flat iron thus allowing a straighter result on the hair. The flat iron comb possesses a slot in a lower armature to allow for the comb of an upper armature to be inserted therein when the tongs are clamped down. The lower armature also possesses a tapered sectioning point on the tip of the armature to allow the user to get closer to the scalp to gather the hair section to be straightened. The armature can also possess a ceramic attribute in the lower armature to assist in setting and drying the hair.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2006Publication date: June 5, 2008Applicant: GOODY PRODUCTSInventors: Kelly Chapman, Stan Chudzik, David Harper

Publication number: 20080110471Abstract: A finishing comb designed to meet the grooming needs of men is disclosed. The finishing comb has an elongated body having three parallel rows of bristles extending from end to end from the bottom surface of the body. The rows of bristles are a combination of natural bristles and synthetic bristles arranged so that the synthetic bristles penetrate the hair pack and the natural bristles distribute the natural sebum of the hair along the lengths of the hair shafts. In one embodiment, the center row of bristles comprises synthetic bristles and the outer rows of bristles comprise tufts of natural bristles. In an alternative embodiment, the inner row of bristles comprises tufts of natural bristles and the outer rows of bristles comprise synthetic bristles.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2006Publication date: May 15, 2008Applicant: GOODY PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Kent Oliver, Stan Chudzik, Joni M.
