  • Publication number: 20240074862
    Abstract: A delivery system includes an elongated shaft component, a self-expanding valve prosthesis, at least one cinching suture, and a radially-expandable sleeve. The valve prosthesis is disposed over a distal portion of the elongated shaft component and includes a compressed configuration for delivery and an expanded configuration for deployment. The at least one cinching suture removably couples the valve prosthesis to the elongated shaft component and radially compresses the valve prosthesis into the compressed configuration for delivery. The sleeve is secured to and encircles an outer surface of the valve prosthesis. The sleeve has a delivery state with a first diameter extending over a full length of the valve prosthesis in the compressed configuration and a deployed state with a greater second diameter extending over the full length of the valve prosthesis in the expanded configuration. The sleeve is configured to prevent paravalvular leakage in situ in the deployed state.

  • Patent number: 11911046
    Abstract: A resection guide locator includes a bone engagement portion with surfaces that are complementary to the surface topographies of a bone to be resected during surgery. A housing includes a socket defined by a resilient annular wall that is sized and arranged so to accept a resection guide by press-fit to thereby position and hold the resection guide within the socket. The resection guide is maintained in a predetermined, preferred position while the surfaces are releasably locked in position on the bone. A method is disclosed for forming and using the resection guide locator.

  • Patent number: 11846609
    Abstract: An electric actuator includes a stationary support and a guide system having a single stationary guide joined to the stationary support having an axis. The actuator also includes a stationary assembly secured to the stationary support. A moving assembly is movable relative to the stationary support on the guide, where the moving assembly and the stationary assembly provide at least two sets of interacting magnetic fields disposed about the guide at equal angular intervals. A test specimen support is joined to the moving assembly and disposed on one side of the stationary support so as to move along the axis with movement of the moving assembly, the axis extending through the test specimen support.

  • Patent number: 11627161
    Abstract: A data diode provides a flexible device for collecting data from a data source and transmitting the data to a data destination using one-way data transmission across a main channel. On-board processing elements allow the data diode to identify automatically the type of connectivity provided to the data diode and configure the data diode to handle the identified type of connectivity. Either or both of the inbound and outbound side of the data diode may comprise one or both of wired and wireless communication interfaces. A secure reverse channel, separate from the main channel, allows carefully predetermined communications from the data destination to the data source.

  • Publication number: 20200325692
    Abstract: The current invention comprises a set of Door Jamb Jigs designed to enable the user to temporarily hold a carpenters level, a carpenters square, and a door jamb firmly within the rough opening of a framed wall so that the door jamb can be permanently nailed in place pre-squared, pre-leveled, and pre-plumb. The current invention utilizes universally designed Jigs that enable users to utilize their own conventional carpenters square and carpenters level combined with the Door Jamb Jigs to practice a new method of installing pre-hung interior doors much easer, faster and more accurately compared to the conventional practice of holding tools by hand. The current invention solves problems during the Pre-hung door jamb installation process. #1 The invention enables the user to temporarily attach both a 90 degree carpenters square and a carpenters level to the door jamb so when the door panel is reattached to the jamb the clearance between the door panel and the door jamb is equal and parallel all around.

  • Patent number: 10212241
    Abstract: A system and method for analyzing network service usage is provided. In example embodiments, model users of the network service are identified using a number of target events and in-scope events. Users of the network service generate interaction data by interacting with the network service. The interaction data of the identified model users can be compared to the interaction data of the non-model users without exposing the interaction data.
