Patent number: 11680674Abstract: An insulating jacket for enclosing a pipe fitting includes an elbow housing configured to envelop and cover a pipe elbow and a pair of coupling housings each configured to envelop couplings mounted to the elbow. Each of the housings is made from a pair of housing halves which are made from a block of rigid insulating material. Each pair of housing halves can be mated together by interlocking tongue in groove connection elements formed on the housing halves. The rigid insulating material is soft enough to be carved by hand and resilient enough to be deform sufficiently to allow the housing halves to be mated over the pipe fitting.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2018Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Inventor: Ken Perry

Publication number: 20120289977Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of securing suture within a patient. The method comprises advancing suture material into the patient, passing a portion of the suture material through tissue of the patient, and advancing a fastener catheter and a suture fastener along the suture material. The fastener catheter includes a catheter main body and a handle. The suture fastener has a generally cylindrical body formed of a shape memory material and a suture fastener inner lumen. The suture fastener has at least one engagement tab biased to extend at least partially into the suture fastener inner lumen to engage against and secure one or more lines of suture passing through the suture fastener.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2012Publication date: November 15, 2012Applicant: EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES CORPORATIONInventors: David Zarbatany, Tai Tieu, Ponaka Pung, Joseph Videll, Ken Perry, John Krumme, Maurice Buchbinder

Patent number: 6618002Abstract: A HF radar uses the same antenna array (414, 424, 424′, 424′) for both transmission (TX) and reception (RX). Each radiating element of the array may be driven by its own local transmitter and may have its own local receiver, both being connected to a central processor via fiber optic cables conveying digital data to the local transmitter relating to element energization in the TX mode and data representing signals received by the radiating elements in the RX mode. Each antenna element may have its own TX/RX unit, or a single TX/RX unit may serve two or more radiating elements. Each radiating element may comprise a skeletal pyramidal dipole mounted at ground level.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2000Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: Alenia Marconi Systems LimitedInventor: Ken Perry
