Patent number: 11076688Abstract: A height adjustable table can include a plurality of legs, a lower portion, a worksurface, a height adjustable surface, and a linkage. The worksurface can be supported by the plurality of legs and can include a fixed surface and a height adjustable surface. The fixed surface can be secured to at least one of the lower portion and the plurality of legs, and the fixed surface can define a recessed portion. The height adjustable surface can be movable between a raised position and a lowered position so that the height-adjustable surface retracts into the recessed portion when in the lowered position so that the height adjustable surface is coplanar with the fixed surface. The linkage can be configured to move the height adjustable surface between the lowered position and the raised position so that the height adjustable surface remains parallel to the fixed surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Ergotron, Inc.Inventors: Mustafa Ali Ergun, John William Theis, Michael John Mullen

Publication number: 20160220366Abstract: A vascular implant comprises a structure defining a flow passage, the flow passage having a first end and a second end. The vascular implant is also provided with a skirt around at least a portion of the outer periphery of the structure. A portion of the skirt is fixed to the structure to form a seal with respect to the flow passage. The skirt is compliant such that, in response to a higher fluid pressure at one of the ends of the flow passage, the skirt is configured to be urged against the anatomy at the site in which the implant is located, to span between the outer periphery of the structure and said anatomy.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2014Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventors: Gaetano BURRIESCI, Spyridon TZAMTZIS, Michael John MULLEN, Alexander SEIFALIAN, John YAP
