  • Publication number: 20240285389
    Abstract: An intravascular emboli capture and retrieval system for intravascular embolism protection and embolism removal or maceration. Guidewire mounted proximally and distally located multiple opening filters are deployed within the vasculature and used to part, divide and macerate embolic debris and to capture such embolic debris within the confines thereof. A deployable flexible preformed memory shaped capture sleeve is alternatively used to collapse one or more filters and embolic debris therein for subsequent proximal withdrawal from the vasculature.

  • Patent number: 10311028
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve a system and/or method for replication size estimation and progress monitoring for a file system residing on a computing system. The replication progress monitoring system obtains a first snapshot of a file system for a first point in time and a second snapshot of the file system for a second point in time. The system may then calculate the difference between the first snapshot size from the second snapshot size and add to the difference the size a released data size. The released data size includes the size of any blocks of data included in the first snapshot and released before the second snapshot was taken. The replication transfer size may then be estimated by adding the snapshot size difference with the released size estimate.

  • Patent number: 9697215
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for resumable replication. In one implementation, an interruption in a transfer between a source and a target is identified. The transfer includes a send stream generated by the source and configured for receipt by the target. The send stream includes one or more snapshots of the source. A receive checkpoint generated by the target is received at the source. The receive checkpoint indicates data successfully received into the target during the transfer prior to the interruption. The transfer is resumed based on the received checkpoint. The resumed transfer skips any of the one or more snapshots and all data in a resumable snapshot already existing on the target. A complete transfer from the source to the target is verified using a chain of custody.

  • Patent number: 7591115
    Abstract: A tile support arrangement comprising interlocking panels adapted to support thereon a plurality of tiles, battens which support thereon the interlocking panels, the battens secured to load bearing frame members of an inclined roof or a wall of a building, wherein each batten includes an upright portion which supports the interlocking panels in spaced relationship to the frame members and wherein the securing of the battens to the load bearing frame members comprises a plurality of elongated beams having first longitudinal axes and which are secured in end to end relationship upon each load bearing frame member. Each frame member having a second longitudinal axis, the relationship being such that there is alignment of the first and second longitudinal axes, wherein for each load bearing frame member, a lower portion of a batten is sandwiched between facing surfaces of opposing ends of adjacent elongated beams and is secured to at least one of the opposing ends.

  • Patent number: 7547026
    Abstract: A wheelbarrow has a frame, having a top portion (12) and an undercarriage portion (14). There is an open topped vessel (15) mounted on the top portion (12) of the frame, and a pair of handle bars (16, 17) extending rearwardly and integrally from the top portion (12) of the frame. The wheelbarrow also has a pair of ground engagable legs (18, 19), and a front wheel (20) is connected to a front part of the undercarriage portion (14) of the frame, and a rear wheel (21) is connected to a rear part of the undercarriage portion (14) of the frame. The rear wheel (21) is aligned with the front wheel (20). There are pivot axis means (22, 24, 25) of the wheelbarrow for allowing the top portion (12) of the frame to pivot relative to the undercarriage portion (14) of the frame.

  • Publication number: 20080182507
    Abstract: A precipitation resistant ventilator for a structure enclosing an interior space. The ventilator encloses a space that is in communication with the structure interior space. A thin sheet of air permeable water resistant material is disposed within the ventilator interior. The thin sheet of air permeable water resistant material forms a barrier that excludes the entry of precipitation and other foreign matter into the roof structure while still allowing air exchange.

  • Patent number: 7117649
    Abstract: A wall system for a structure including elongate furring strips having a multiplicity of transversely oriented air passages. The elongate furring strips are arranged on a first envelope layer of a wall and covered with a second envelope layer. The furring strips space the first and second envelope layers apart, forming a plurality of enclosed cavities or air spaces. The cavities are in fluid communication with each other through the air passages in the furring strips, and may be in fluid communication with the outside atmosphere. Air is thusly enabled to circulate from the outdoors through substantially all portions of the cavities, promoting drying of the first and second envelope layers, which may be sheathing and finish siding.

  • Patent number: RE39825
    Abstract: A roof batten for use in spacing tiles or similar exterior roofing members from a roof overlayment is provided. In one embodiment, the batten includes at least one layer of a corrugated plastic material with a pair of generally planar plies and a convoluted ply cooperating with the planar plies to define a multiplicity of passages. The passages allow drainage of water infiltrating the tiles and further promote drying. REEXAMINATION RESULTS The questions raised in reexamination request no. 90/007,487, filed Mar. 19, 2004 have been considered and the results thereof are reflected in this reissue patent which constitutes the reexamination certificate required by 35 U. S. C. 307 as provided in 37 CFR 1.570(e), for ex parte reexaminations, or the reexamination certificate required by 35 U. S. C. 316 as provided in 37 CFR 1.997(e) for inter partes reexaminations.
