Patent number: 11973730Abstract: A sender holds a first platform account with an interaction system. The sender selects a content item to be shared with a recipient. In response to determining that a recipient identifier of the recipient is not linked to a platform account, an off-platform communication is transmitted to a second user device associated with the recipient identifier. The off-platform communication is in an electronic format supported by the second user device and contains a user-selectable registration link. In response to detecting establishment of a second platform account linked to the recipient identifier, the recipient is enabled to access the content item on the second user device via a user interface provided by an interaction application. A relationship between the first platform account and the second platform account is established within the interaction system.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Nathan Kenneth Boyd, David Phillip Taitz, Jeremy Baker Voss, Xingnan Xia

Publication number: 20240115263Abstract: An apposition device having a first elongate element movably coupled with a second elongate element. The second elongate element is deployable distal to the structures to be apposed, in a position transverse to the first elongate element. The first elongate element may be pulled to pull the second elongate element to move the structures into apposition. A third element may be positioned proximal to the structures to hold the structures in apposition. The third element may be a ratcheting element fixable in place with respect to the first elongate element. The apposition device may be deployed with a fine gauge needle. The second elongate element may be deployed from a side port in the needle facilitating deployment, and/or movement of the second elongate element with respect to the first elongate element and into a deployment configuration. Such arrangement may allow control of the first elongate element independent of the needle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Jeff Gray, Katharine Eckerline, Kyle P.
