Publication number: 20210386980Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling fill media in a balloon catheter are disclosed. The system comprises a catheter having an inflatable balloon, a reservoir for fill media, and a first conduit for delivering fill media from the reservoir to the balloon. The system includes a second conduit for returning fill media from the balloon to the reservoir and a pump configured to circulate fill media through the conduits. The system also includes a valve assembly configured for placement in at least three positions. In the first position, fill media is delivered from the reservoir to the balloon to inflate the balloon. In the second position, fill media is drawn out of the balloon and returned to the reservoir. In the third position, fill media circulates through the conduits between the pump and the balloon and is prevented from flowing back to the reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Gerald Melsky, Brian Estabrook, Lincoln Baxter, Sergei Babko-Malyi, Ronald Green, Paul DiCeare, Richard Clark, Richard Thompson, Michael Magill, Burke Barrett

Patent number: 10072398Abstract: An outdoor water service system is described. The system is primarily for providing water for outdoor applications in cold weather, such as flooding outdoor rinks but may also be used for other watering applications in warmer weather. The system includes a source of water connected to an underground hydrant with an above-ground hydrant valve and a heated enclosure with a floor and an opening in the floor through which the hydrant valve extends. The enclosure includes a hose, a heater, a water conduit extending from the hydrant valve to the hose, a first door for accessing the hydrant valve from outside of the enclosure and a second door for accessing the hose.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2017Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Ion Irrigation Management Inc.Inventors: Michael Magill, Casey Mahan, Chad Placsko
