Patent number: 11964129Abstract: In various embodiments, a drug pump includes a housing and, within the housing, an expandable drug reservoir at least part of which is exposed to a pressurized propellant. The propellant exerts a substantially constant pressure on the drug reservoir. A flow restrictor significantly limits outflow from the pump, and preferably has both a small diameter and a long path length, which acts to control the outflow from the drug reservoir. As a result, the pump produces a substantially constant outflow.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: MiniPumps LLCInventors: Jason Shih, Gregory Harbers, Richard Purvis, Miho Matsuoka, Andrew Urazaki, Mark Humayun, William Andrew Brandt, Atoosa Lotfi, Didier Sagan, Andrew Dunn

Publication number: 20230379173Abstract: Permission control and management for messaging application bots is described. A method can include providing a messaging application, on a first computing device associated with a first user, to enable communication between the first user and another user, and detecting, at the messaging application, a user request. The method can also include programmatically determining that an action in response to the user request requires access to data associated with the first user, and causing a permission interface to be rendered in the messaging application, the permission interface enabling the first user to approve or prohibit access to the data associated with the first user. The method can include accessing the data associated with the first user and performing the action in response to the user request, upon receiving user input from the first user indicating approval of the access to the data associated with the first user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Shelbian Fung, Richard Dunn, Anton Volkov, Adam Rodriquez

Patent number: 11033098Abstract: A hair brush which has a specific arrangement of rows of substantially elliptical (eg oval) cross-section shaped bristles. Each bristle resembles a blade which has a tendency to flex on its minor axis and resist flexing on its major axis. By arranging such bristles in rows, the direction of flex is controlled, and hair can be moved in different directions to promote detangling but not at the expense of the quality of brushing.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Inventor: Richard Dunn

Patent number: 10207078Abstract: A steerable sheath for a catheter delivery system and associated devices and methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the catheter delivery system includes a catheter sheath having a steerable distal portion and a flexible elongate member connecting to a steering unit. The flexible elongate member has a central lumen through which a therapeutic or diagnostic device of a first modality can be inserted, used to perform a procedure, and then removed and replaced by a different therapeutic or diagnostic device while the catheter sheath remains substantially at the same location within a patient.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: Volcano CorporationInventors: Chester Whiseant, Richard Dunn
