  • Publication number: 20240138860
    Abstract: Medical devices and systems for treating a stricture, for example along the biliary and/or pancreatic tract, are disclosed. An example system may include a guidewire having a distal end and defining a lumen. A stiffening rod may be slidably disposed within the lumen. The stiffening rod may have a distal end and a distal end region disposed adjacent to the distal end. The stiffening rod may be configured to shift between a first position where the distal end of the stiffening rod is disposed proximally of the distal end of the guidewire and a second position where the distal end of the stiffening rod is disposed distally of the distal end of the guidewire.

  • Publication number: 20210047040
    Abstract: A restraint assembly includes a base configured to be mounted to a tray of the cargo system, a lateral restraint, and a vertical restraint. The lateral restraint comprises a guide face and a top edge, wherein the lateral restraint is rotatably coupled to the base, according to various embodiments. The vertical restraint extends from the top edge of the lateral restraint, according to various embodiments. The restraint assembly comprises a stored position and a raised position. In the stored position both the lateral restraint and the vertical restraint are configured to be disposed within a volume defined by the tray of the cargo system. In the raised position the vertical restraint and at least the guide face of the lateral restraint are configured to be disposed above the volume defined by the tray of the cargo system to provide guidance and restraint to cargo.

  • Patent number: 9535583
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided that allow a user to draw and edit a chemical structure. Aspects of the present disclosure may include receiving an input corresponding to an amendment to a portion of an in-progress chemical structure, and identifying, based at least in part upon the amended in-progress chemical structure, one or more molecular scaffolds from a set of candidate molecular scaffolds. Each molecular scaffold may be configured to, upon one or both of (i) appending to the amended portion of the in-progress chemical structure and (ii) replacing or partially replacing the amended portion of the in-progress chemical structure, provide a resulting chemical structure or chemical structure fragment that has been previously rendered. The one or more molecular scaffolds may be provided for presentation on the graphical display as option(s) for selection by a user in creating the graphical representation of the chemical structure.

  • Patent number: 5760785
    Abstract: A method for graphically forming a difference spectrum from a sample spectrum and a reference spectrum on a computer system includes displaying an initial difference spectrum on the display the initial difference spectrum being equal to the sample spectrum, selecting a data point in the initial difference spectrum, having an associated wave number, with a relative pointing device on the display, moving the data point a measurable amount on the display with the relative pointing device, determining a scaling factor in response to the measurable amount and to a data point in the reference spectrum having the same associated wave number, scaling each data point in the reference spectrum by the scaling factor to form a scaled reference spectrum, determining the difference spectrum between the sample spectrum and the scaled reference spectrum, and displaying at least a portion of the difference spectrum on the display.
