  • Publication number: 20250203210
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for tracking and monitoring. The system can include a track system, a chassis, and a control system. The chassis can be adapted to traverse along the track system. The chassis can include a chassis body and an image capture housing. The chassis body can have a drive system for propelling the chassis along the track system, a power source, and a guide wheel adapted to interface with the track system. The image capture housing can be disposed adjacent the chassis body and selectively movable between a first position and a second position. The image capture housing can include an imaging device. The control system can be in wireless communication with the chassis for navigation and imaging device.

  • Publication number: 20240293648
    Abstract: An implantation tool for implanting a paranasal sinus fluid access implant device through a surgical path between a lacrimal apparatus in an orbit and a paranasal sinus in an implantation procedure to provide direct fluid communication access from the lacrimal apparatus in the orbit to the paranasal sinus through an internal passage of the implant device. The implantation assembly comprises the implant device and an implantation tool wherein the implant device is mounted in a mounting orientation on a mounting portion of a carrier member of the implantation tool with a securement mechanism of the implantation tool in a securement configuration. The securement mechanism is reconfigurable to a released configuration to release the implant device from securement to the mounting portion of the carrier member.

  • Patent number: 12017023
    Abstract: An implantation tool to implant a paranasal sinus fluid access implant device to fluidly connect the lacrimal apparatus in the orbit with a paranasal sinus has a securement mechanism reconfigurable from a securement configuration to secure the implant device to a mounting portion of a carrier member to a released configuration to release the implant device from the carrier member, and with a release mechanism disposed at least partially in an interior working space housed within the implantation tool. An implantation method with an approach through the palpebral fissure advances the implant device through a surgical route mostly under tension.

  • Patent number: 11760481
    Abstract: This invention is directed toward an aerodynamically designed drone with a unique angle of propulsion. The drone uses airfoil design to move more efficiently through the air, and the aerodynamic design is optimized when the drone is tilted forward at various degrees of “tilt” to provide the most aerodynamic profile to the oncoming air. The invention contemplates single hull, double hull and triple hull designs, and is applicable to heaving lifting drones, drones use for photography and remote sensing, and racing drones.
