Patent number: 11951322Abstract: Accessories of a medical device, such as a defibrillator, are described. The accessories reduce delays in treating or monitoring a patient by increasing the efficiency of using, and the ease of use of, the medical device. An adjustable kickstand is movable between a collapsed and extended position to recline the medical device. In the reclined position, a display of the medical device can be more easily viewed by the user. Storage bags can be coupled to the medical device to efficiently store accessories for use with the medical device. The stored accessories can be coupled to the medical device while the accessories are stored within the storage bags. A port guard can protect and shield a connection between a cable and a port of the medical device to prevent the cable (e.g., an ECG cable) from being disconnected from the port of the medical device.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: PHYSIO-CONTROL, INC.Inventors: Christopher G.

Patent number: 11501589Abstract: A wearable device is used to authenticate a user into a user account at a user device of the user. In particular, the wearable device may include a sensor configured to detect whether the wearable device is worn by or is with the user. If so, the wearable device may send a signal to the user device and the user device may authenticate the user based on the signal received from the wearable device. For example, when the sensor detects that the wearable device is worn by the user, the wearable device may send a unique signal periodically, such as every five seconds or every 10 seconds. Based on whether the unique signal from the wearable device is received, the user device may authenticate the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Megan Marie Williams, Michael Hwang, Michelle Serrano

Publication number: 20220330968Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, systems, and methods for tissue resection in a body lumen of a patient, and may include an elongate body having a cavity at a distal end and a tissue retractor extendable distally from the distal end of the elongate body. The tissue retractor may include an expansion mechanism. The expansion mechanism may include a plurality of arms each having a first end coupled around a distal cap and expandable radially outward from the distal cap such that an anchoring mechanism on a second end of the arms is engageable with selected tissue for resection of the body lumen. The tissue resection device may further include a tissue resecting device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: John B.

Patent number: 11295291Abstract: A system and/or method may be provided to assure a payment being made via a user device before the user device fully runs out of battery power. In particular, while a user device is running out of battery power, the system may allow a user to designate a merchant/user/service to which the user may make payments via a user device without user authentication and/or awareness. Under the same situation of low battery power, the system may also allow the user to make payments to a merchant/user/service with which the user frequently shops without user authentication and/or initial awareness. After the payment being made, the system may communicate with the user with further action, which requires no or low consumption of battery power.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventor: Megan Marie Williams

Publication number: 20210282068Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for wireless beacon devices for use in managing transportation service terminals. A user may travel with a device, such as a communication device, that includes a communication module that may utilize specialized hardware features to establish short range wireless communications with nearby wireless beacons. The wireless beacons may be established at or nearby transportation service terminals, such as bus/train stops. The beacon may provide the aforementioned communication services with the communication device and be utilized to determine whether the user will utilize a transportation service for the terminal. If the user wishes to utilize the transportation service, a transportation service may be alerted. The user may also be alerted of an expected time of arrival for the transportation service, other transportation services available at the transportation terminal, and/or of nearby transportation terminals.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: MEGAN MARIE WILLIAMS, MICHAEL HWANG, MICHAEL CHARLES TODASCO, MICHELLE SERRANO
