  • Patent number: 11989480
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may, responsive to a secondary display being detected, cause a window including an option for a user to proceed with a location detection operation of the secondary display to be displayed on a primary display. The processor may also cause an icon to be displayed on the secondary display, track a movement of a cursor from the primary display to the icon displayed on the secondary display, and determine a position of the secondary display with respect to the primary display based on the tracked movement of the cursor. The processor may further store the determined position of the secondary display with respect to the primary display.

  • Publication number: 20240068597
    Abstract: The present invention addresses problems in the installation of multiple pipes through a single borehole at the same time. Attempting such an installation causes pipes to clash and rub. With multiple pipes being installed in a single borehole, in some cases, there will be multiple pipes crossing a single roller right before entering the borehole, increasing the chances of damage to the bumper/spacer and to pipe. This action causes safety issues for people, the environment, endangered species, and other wildlife, at an installation site. In at least one example, bumpers are applied to the pipes such that the chance of damage is reduced while also reducing risk to people and the environment.

  • Publication number: 20240058008
    Abstract: A seal assembly for insertion into a hollow body organ is provided. The assembly includes a tubular hollow extrusion having a proximal end, a distal end and an interior surface between the proximal end and the distal end. A proximal balloon is located at the proximal end of the extrusion and a distal balloon is located at the distal end of the extrusion. An expandable scaffold engages the interior surface of the extrusion.

  • Patent number: 9517073
    Abstract: A method for confined and controlled treatment of a target area of an internal body lumen using negative pressure applied to the target area, the method permitting treatment to proceed without interrupting the flow of bodily fluid through the body lumen, the method including deploying a resilient stent having a liner to define the target area and passages within the liner connected to a catheter tube so that the negative pressure may be applied through a lumen of the catheter tube from a source connected to the catheter tube without impacting the inflated stent and without impacting the ability of body lumen fluid to flow through the stent, thereby permitting therapy to proceed without disrupting the natural flow of bodily fluids or the delivery of nutrients within the body lumen during therapy.

  • Patent number: 9179921
    Abstract: A medical device consists of a dual lumen catheter with three intra-connecting balloons comprising a balloon stent. The adjustable tissue approximation using negative pressure exerted between device and mucosa of stomach/esophagus/colon with improved injury site isolation via adjustable balloon stent and added potential of negative pressure application to injury site for active healing process and distal feeding potential.
