Patent number: 11957941Abstract: A fire suppressing insulation. This insulation will create a barrier that blocks a fire to protect a structure from damage and will assist in suppressing the fire. Also, a fire suppression system including two walls, such as an interior wall and an exterior wall or two interior walls. The walls are spaced apart from each other by a divider to define an interior volume. At least a portion of the interior volume includes fire suppressing insulation that will form a fire suppressing intumescent barrier between the walls when exposed to the heat of a fire.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Emily Margaret Gray, Brian Francisco Shipley, Justin Dax Haslam, Robert Wiseman Simpson, Donnette Moncrief Brown, Eric David Schroeder, Michael J.

Patent number: 11931608Abstract: A system for dispensing flame retardant foam on the exterior of a structure. The structure has an opening that enables distribution of flame retardant foam onto the roof. The system includes a foam distribution system having a foam expansion chamber and a roof plenum for delivery through the roof opening. Foam solution and compressed air are combined in a conduit and supplied to the foam expansion chamber. The structure may have at least one wall. In that case, the system may have a wall plenum for delivery of flame retardant foam from the foam expansion chamber through a first wall-associated opening. Each such wall will have an opening associated with the wall that enables distribution of flame retardant foam onto that wall.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Emily Margaret Gray, Brian Francisco Shipley, Justin Dax Haslam, Robert Wiseman Simpson, Donnette Moncrief Brown, Eric David Schroeder, Michael J.

Patent number: 11452590Abstract: A stent graft (2) for placement in the thoracic arch of a patient has a first tubular body portion (6) with a first lumen therein for placement in the ascending aorta of a patient and a second tubular body portion (8) to extend along the thoracic arch and down the descending aorta. The second tubular body portion is of a lesser diameter than the first tubular body portion. There is a step portion (10) between the first body portion and the second body portion. The step portion is joined to and continuous with the first portion and the second portion. A first side of each of the first body portion, the step portion and the second body portion are substantially aligned so that there is a step (18) defined on a second side opposite to the first side of the body portion. There is an aperture (30) in the step portion and an internal tube (32) extending from the aperture towards the first body portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2021Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Cook Medical Technologies LLCInventors: David E.
