Patent number: 12264587Abstract: A hybrid propulsion system extracts electrical power using a combined heat engine and electrical generator. The propulsion system includes a gas generator, an electrical power generator disposed upstream of the gas generator and configured to be driven by a power turbine, an output power shaft mated to the power turbine and extending through a central axis of the gas generator and power generator unit, an engine enclosure circumferentially surrounding the power generator, and a shroud disposed between the power generator and the engine enclosure. The electrical power generator includes at least one rotating member and a stationary conductive member, wherein the at least one rotating member includes a magnetic portion, and rotation of the at least one rotating member relative to stationary conductive member generates a current transmissible by one or more coupled power output cables.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2023Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATIONInventors: Joseph Lawrence Simonetti, Mark P. Eisenhauer, Michael Strauss

Publication number: 20250017618Abstract: Disclosed herein are clot treatment systems including integrated/systemized mechanical thrombectomy devices and clot treatment devices, and associated devices and methods. In some embodiments, a method of removing clot material from a blood vessel of patient includes inserting a catheter to proximate the clot material within the blood vessel while radially constraining a clot treatment device and an embolic protection device within the catheter. The method can further include moving the catheter proximally to deploy the clot treatment device at least partially distal to clot material within the blood vessel, and then moving the catheter further proximally to deploy the embolic protection device at least partially proximal to the clot material.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Jakub Marek Truty, Garrett Thomas Offerman, Aaron Dederich, Brian Edward Merritt, Melissa Montejano Viveros, Alejandra Turcios, Brian Michael Strauss

Publication number: 20240415626Abstract: Systems and methods for the intravascular treatment of clot material within a blood vessel of a human patient are disclosed herein. A method in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, positioning a distal portion of a catheter proximate to the clot material within the blood vessel. The method can further include coupling a pressure source to the catheter via a tubing subsystem including a valve or other fluid control device and, while the valve is closed, activating the pressure source to charge a vacuum. The valve can then be opened to apply the vacuum to the catheter to thereby aspirate at least a portion of the clot material from the blood vessel and into the catheter.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Inventors: Ben Merritt, Jacqueline Macias, Brian Michael Strauss, Thomas Tu, John Coleman Thress, Paul Lubock
