Patent number: 11969665Abstract: A reversible toy includes a body having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The body may be reversible between a first configuration and a second configuration to alternatingly present the first and second surfaces as an outer body surface defining an exterior of the body. In this regard, the other of the first and second surfaces may alternatingly define a stored body surface defining an interior cavity within the body. The reversible toy may further include an appendage attached to the body at the first surface and comprising a coupling feature. The coupling feature may be configured to couple the reversible toy to an object at the appendage.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: TEE TURTLE, LLCInventors: Ramy Adly Badie, Michael Thai Ly, Charles Anthony Gaines, Jr., Shea Koch Pack, Alexander William Braun

Patent number: 9808266Abstract: The apparatus includes a catheter having a combined infusion/aspiration lumen, a three lumen proximal portion and a two lumen distal portion. An infusion/aspiration valve located at the distal end of the catheter facilitates performing infusion and aspiration through the same lumen, which in turn reduces the number of lumens, and enables the combined infusion/aspiration lumen to be made larger without the need to increase the diameter of the catheter. Differing material properties in the proximal and distal portions of the catheter enable the proximal portion to be made stiffer for pushability, while the distal portion is more flexible to navigate tortuous vasculature and enable a greater amplitude agitator to be received within the catheter.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2016Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Miranda Ray, Jessica Clayton, Lawrence Go, Michael Thai, James Hanlon, Young Vo

Patent number: 9242068Abstract: An infusion catheter includes a catheter body having a proximal end, a distal end, and two or more lumens extending therethrough. The infusion catheter also includes an infusion tube having a proximal end, a distal end, and one or more ports disposed therethrough. The first lumen of the catheter body is in fluid communication with the lumen of the infusion tube. A central member has a distal end connected to the distal end of the infusion tube, a proximal end, and a proximal portion slidably received in the second lumen of the catheter body. The infusion tube is disposed relative to the central member such that axial advancement of the central member relative to the catheter body radially collapses the infusion tube over the central member and axial retraction of the central member relative to the catheter body radially expands the infusion tube about the central member.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2009Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Michael Thai, Thomas Chien, Kelvin Ning, Robert Mcrae
