Patent number: 11623717Abstract: An inflatable flotation device having a reaction chamber with reactants that generate gas when mixed, said reactants being separated by a barrier assembly; an activating mechanism adapted to remove or puncture the barrier assembly such that said reactants mix; and an inflatable compartment fluidly connected to the reaction chamber by means of a pressure sensitive passageway, adapted to open only when the pressure of the gas in said reaction chamber exceeds a predetermined threshold. This ensures that most of the reactants are used up to generate gas before the gas enters the inflatable chamber, thus preventing scattering of the reactants. Some implementations have a reaction chamber without a barrier assembly, comprising reactants that generate gas when mixed with water and an activating mechanism adapted to expose the reactants to water. A variety of manual or automatic mechanisms may be employed to activate the reaction and inflate the device.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2018Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: SEA-ARK TECHNOLOGIES LTD.Inventors: Matityahu Azriel, Oriya Shoham, Noam Hassidov, Moshe Shoham

Publication number: 20220151657Abstract: Systems comprising a needle assembly configured to be inserted and steered within the brain, body tissue, or cavity, for the purpose of performing a surgical procedure. The needle assembly comprises robotically controlled and motorized concentric cannulas. For bending, there may be provided, for example, a tensioning wire configured to bend an inner cannula, or a cannula with an adjustable natural curve. A flexible inner element passing through the bend of the inner cannula is made self-straightening to minimize susceptibility to displacement from its intended path as it is advanced through the tissue. The self-straightening inner element comprises, for example, at least one of a super-elastic tube, a shape-memory alloy tube, a slotted tube, a tightly coiled memory alloy spring, circular links held together by pulling cables preloaded by springs, and a notched inner cannula with a cable connected via a loaded spring to tension the inner cannula.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2020Publication date: May 19, 2022Applicant: Tamar Robotics LTDInventors: Tom SHTENDEL, Hadas ZISO, Noam HASSIDOV

Patent number: 10925466Abstract: A sleeve assembly is described for coupling a colonoscope insertion tube to an add-on tube. In some embodiments, the sleeve assembly defines an elongated lumen and comprises an inner sleeve sized to receive an insertion tube of a colonoscope, an outer sleeve encircling the inner sleeve, and one or more add-on tubes positioned between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve. In some embodiments, at least the inner sleeve is collapsible to fit tightly over a colonoscope insertion tube received within the inner sleeve. In some embodiments, the inner sleeve is coupled to the outer sleeve at one or more locations along the length of the inner sleeve so that collapsing of the inner sleeve brings the outer sleeve radially closer to the inner sleeve, approximating the one or more add-on tubes to a colonoscope insertion tube received within the inner sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Motus GI Medical Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Noam Hassidov, Boris Shtul, Eyal Kochavi, Tzach Arnon, Koby Luleko, Dan Blecher

Patent number: 10583273Abstract: A self-propelled device for locomotion through a lumen, comprising a set of serially arranged inflatable chambers, the end ones of which expand at least radially when inflated. Connecting passages provide fluid communication between each pair of adjacent chambers. A fluid source is attached to one of the end chambers. The connecting passages are such that the fluid inflates the chambers in a sequence, beginning with the chamber closest to the source, and ending with the chamber furthest from the source. The same sequence occurs when the chambers deflate, beginning with the chamber closest to the source, and ending with the chamber furthest from the source. The fluid source can either be a fluid supply tube, extending to a supply outside the lumen, or it can be built-in and carried by the device. The device can crawl either along the lumen wall or on an inserted guide wire.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2018Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Technion Research & Development Foundation Ltd.Inventors: Moshe Shoham, Noam Hassidov, Daniel Glozman

Patent number: 10561823Abstract: A self-propelled device for locomotion through a lumen, comprising a set of serially arranged inflatable chambers, adjacent chambers being fluidly connected, and a fluid source attached to one end of the set, such that the chambers inflate sequentially. The chambers are constructed of an elastic material and have a wall thickness and dimensions such that they have a characteristic with a non-monotonous relationship between the inflation pressure within the chamber and the chamber's inflated size. The characteristic is such that after an initial inflation pressure peak, the non-monotonous relationship adopts a negative slope, such that the volume of the chamber increases more rapidly than the volume of fluid flowing into it, and the inflation pressure of the chamber falls. This effect causes the chamber to inflate and anchor rapidly, while essentially slowing down the inflation of the succeeding chamber until inflation of the first is complete.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2016Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: TECHNION RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION LTD.Inventors: Daniel Glozman, Noam Hassidov, Moshe Shoham
