Patent number: 10750738Abstract: Methods and systems of maintaining, evaluating, and providing therapy to a lung ex vivo. The methods and systems involve positioning the lung in an ex vivo perfusion circuit; circulating a perfusion fluid through the lung, the fluid entering the lung through a pulmonary artery interface and leaving the lung through a left atrial interface; and ventilating the lung by flowing a ventilation gas through a tracheal interface. Maintaining the lung for extended periods involves causing the lung to rebreath a captive volume of air, and reaching an equilibrium state between the perfusion fluid and the ventilation gas. Evaluating the gas exchange capability of the lung involves deoxygenating the perfusion fluid and measuring a time taken to reoxygenate the perfusion fluid by ventilating the lung with an oxygenation gas.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2008Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: TRANSMEDICS, INC.Inventors: Robert Fishman, Robert Havener, Ihab Abdel Fattah, Anas Abdelazim, Scott Newell, Thomas H. Bishop, Tamer Khayal, Stanley Kyi, Ron Taylor, Doug Harriott, Matthew De Remer, Paul Murray, John Sullivan, Mark Anderson, Richard Bringham, Michael Van Driel, Waleed Hassanein

Publication number: 20160250882Abstract: The solution involves a security diffractive code of quick response provided with a conglomerate of DNA and nanoparticles of highly variable properties whose substance is formed by a metalized foil with an imprinted code of quick response, which is further covered by an imprinted layer of synthetic DNA and another imprinted layer of synthetic nanoparticles. The imprinted lay of synthetic DNA and the imprinted layer of synthetic nanoparticles are covered by a top layer consisting of a protective transparent foil. A reader is turned towards the imprinted layer of synthetic DNA and the imprinted layer of synthetic nanoparticles. The reader is connected via the Internet networks to a databank having registered information codes and variable properties coming from the imprinted layer of synthetic nanoparticles and from the imprinted layer of synthetic DNA.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2014Publication date: September 1, 2016Inventors: Jiri PERKOUS, Ron TAYLOR, Luv SHRIRAM, Petr MILTNER

Patent number: 8218449Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes combining operations of a wireless access point with operations of a remote probe. An access point links a wireless client to a wireless switch. A remote probe captures wireless packets, appends radio information, and forwards packets to a remote observer for analysis. In an embodiment, the observer may provide a protocol-level debug. A system according to the technique can, for example, accomplish concurrent in-depth packet analysis of one or more interfaces on a wireless switch. The system can also, for example, augment embedded security functions by forwarding selected packets to a remote Intrusion Detection System (IDS). In an embodiment, filters on the probes may reduce overhead.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2009Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Trapeze Networks, Inc.Inventor: Ron Taylor
