  • Patent number: 10383646
    Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering fluids, aerosols, and/or acoustic energy to target sites on tissue surfaces and within body cavities or lumens, obstructions or undesired materials associated with body cavities and tissue surfaces and, particularly, target sites on tissue surfaces or at obstructions within natural orifices, such as ear, nose and throat passages and, particularly, nasal passages and cavities, are provided. Delivery of acoustic energy may be accomplished using a flexible, expandable member adapted to be expanded at a target site using an acoustically transmissive material for delivery of acoustic energy to tissue surfaces in irregularly configured tissue cavities and passageways.

  • Publication number: 20180230736
    Abstract: Implementations of a stiffener joint are provided. In some implementations, the stiffener joint comprises a pair of interlocking beams having a mechanical locking mechanism requiring no welding. In some implementations, the pair of interlocking beams comprises a first beam comprising a plurality of tabs extending from the first beam and forming a hook and a second beam comprising a plurality of opening. The tabs of the first beam extend through the respective openings of the second beam and a portion of the second beam is positioned in the hook formed by the tab of the first beam thereby interlocking the beams. In some implementations, the stiffener joints may be used inside hollow doors.
