  • Patent number: 12172578
    Abstract: A system for warning that a slope is too steep for securely parking a machine includes: at least one inclinometer configured to be disposed on the machine, the machine being disposed on the slope and to measure a pitch of the machine; a controller that includes a processor and is configured to be operatively connected to the at least one inclinometer and to determine, using the pitch, if the machine cannot park securely; and a warning generator configured to be operatively connected to the controller and to alert at least an operator of the machine that the machine cannot park securely when the controller so determines.

  • Publication number: 20190350589
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an occlusion device and methods of delivering the occlusion device. The occlusion device can include an expandable structure configured to move between an unexpanded configuration and an expanded configuration. The expandable structure can be configured to have an expansion ratio of at least about 5:1. Further, the occlusion device can be configured to prevent substantially all fluid from flowing past the occlusion device when the occlusion device is in the expanded configuration in the vessel.

  • Publication number: 20150190141
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an occlusion device and methods of delivering the occlusion device. The occlusion device can include an expandable structure configured to move between an unexpanded configuration and an expanded configuration. The occlusion device is configured such that arterial blood pressure enhances both sealing with the vessel wall and anchoring against migration. The expandable structure can be configured to have an expansion ratio of at least about 5:1. Further, the occlusion device can be configured to mechanically prevent substantially all fluid from flowing past the occlusion device when the occlusion device is in the expanded configuration in the vessel.

  • Publication number: 20040167602
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an expandable tubular device for implantation in the lumen of a body duct, such as a blood vessel in particular, in order to ensure a passage therein, said device consisting of an assembly of tubular elements aligned along a common longitudinal axis and successively joined together in parts by a plurality of liking members, each tubular element consisting of a strip forming a zigzag corrugation defining bent extreme portions which are sucessively connected together in pairs in opposite directions by rectilinear intermediate portions, the thickness (e) of said strip forming each of the above-mentioned tubular elements (1), measured radially relative to said tubular element, being greater than the width 1 of this strip in said bent potions (2).

  • Patent number: 6736840
    Abstract: There are two methods for securing the ultra-thin distal sheath section over the distal tip. A preferred method is to employ another thin tube shrunk down over the distal end of the ultra-thin distal sheath. It is also envisioned that simply shrinking the ultra-thin distal sheath section down on the tapered section of the distal tip will hold it securely. A monorail (rapid exchange) version of this stent delivery system is also envisioned. A second version of the present invention includes an unsheathed primary stenting system which uses radiopaque elastic bands mounted over the ends of the balloon just proximal and just distal to the stent to provide the lowest possible profile for a primary stent delivery system without the risk of stent embolization.
