  • Publication number: 20220039866
    Abstract: An example method includes receiving, via at least one processor, anatomical measurements of a lumen of a patient. The method includes performing, via the at least one processor, a geometrical fit analysis based on the anatomical measurements to identify potential prostheses to be implanted in the lumen and an optimal implantation landing zone within the lumen for at least one of the potential prostheses, wherein the geometrical fit analysis includes comparing a geometry of the lumen, including shape factors for the lumen, to geometries of a plurality of candidate prostheses at a plurality of potential implant deployment positions within the lumen. The method includes performing, via the at least one processor, a biomechanical interaction analysis to select one of the identified potential prostheses based on a risk of migration within the lumen of each of the identified potential prostheses.

  • Patent number: 9346509
    Abstract: A mirror assembly for mounting to a handlebar of a motorcycle or other cycle vehicle, including a handle enabling an operator of the motorcycle to rotate the mirror without requiring the operator to remove a hand from the handlebar. The rotation swivels the mirror from a view to the rear to a position with a view to the side. Upon releasing the handle, a compression spring within the assembly returns the mirror to its original position. The mounting arrangement for the assembly includes two portions rotatable perpendicularly to one another, permitting the mirror arrangement to be adjusted after coupling with the handlebar such that the stem of the mirror is plumb. This ensures that when the handle is engaged rotating the mirror, the orientation of the mirror is maintained such that the top edge of the mirror remains level during rotation and that the mirror stem remains plumb.
