Patent number: 11653941Abstract: This inflatable balloon includes a balloon body, an inflation opening for the introduction of a fluid into the balloon body so as to inflate it under pressure, and at least one device for measuring a biological quantity of cavity tissues and/or of biological fluids present in this cavity. The measuring device includes an external sensor attached on an external face of the wall of the balloon body and adapted to supply an electrical measurement signal sensitive to the measured biological quantity, and an internal module located inside the balloon body and including a processing device adapted to process the electrical measurement signal in order to provide at least one measurement of the biological quantity.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: DIANOSICInventors: Marc Augustin, Philippe Bastide

Patent number: 11627974Abstract: Disclosed is an implant intended to be introduced into a human or animal body cavity, and includes two walls intended to grip between them a biological protuberance present in the cavity in order to attach the implant to the biological protuberance. Each wall includes a structural element having corrugations such that the structural element is folded up on itself several times, enabling the wall to be folded up before the introduction of the implant, then deployed inside the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: DIANOSICInventors: Marc Augustin, Philippe Bastide

Patent number: 10687838Abstract: Disclosed is an inflatable balloon for medical use, intended to be inserted deflated into a human or animal body cavity and then inflated once inside this cavity so as to apply pressure against the cavity. The inflatable balloon includes a balloon body, the wall of which is made from a flexible inflatable material, the balloon body having a generally elongated shape with a proximal inflation end and a distal positioning end at the back of the cavity. It further includes an inflation opening formed in the proximal end through which a fluid is introduced into the balloon body so as to inflate it under pressure. The wall of the balloon body locally has an elongated portion called the sole that is stiffer than the rest of the wall, this sole extending from the proximal end to the distal end.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignees: DIANOSIC, UNIVERSITE DE STRASBOURG, INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE, HOPITAUX UNIVERSITAIRES DE STRASBOURGInventors: Marc Augustin, Christian Debry

Patent number: 10379814Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a tininess prediction and handler engine for handling numeric underflow while streamlining the data path for handling normal range cases, thereby avoiding flushes, and reducing the complexity of a scheduler with respect to how dependent operations are handled. A preemptive tiny detection logic section can detect a potential tiny result for the function or operation that is being performed, and can produce a pessimistic tiny indicator. The tininess prediction and handler engine can further include a subnormal post-processing pipe, which can denormalize and round one or more subnormal operations while in a post-processing mode. A schedule modification logic section can reschedule in-flight operations. The schedule modification logic section can issue dependent operations optimistically assuming that a producing operation will not produce a tiny result, and so will not incur extra latency associated with fixing the tiny result in the post-processing pipe.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Ashraf Ahmed, Nicholas Todd Humphries, Marc Augustin
