Patent number: 10898408Abstract: A mobility tool includes a body having first and second opposed ends and an outer surface, and a connection structure at the first end of the body, where the connection structure is configured for connection to a mounting structure. The outer surface of the body includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and side surfaces extending between the first and second ends, where the top and bottom surfaces have greater surface area than the side surfaces. The bottom surface has a contour that includes a convex portion proximate the first end and a concave portion proximate the second end. The height of the body is greater at the convex portion than the concave portion and smallest at the second end. The body further includes an inner body formed of a rigid material, and an outer body at least partially covering the inner body and formed of a flexible material having greater flexibility than the rigid material.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Coulter Ventures, LLC.Inventors: Charles Scott Merrill, Dylan Jones

Patent number: 10127510Abstract: A system is provided that manages aggregated information-driven approvals. The system creates an aggregation attribute that includes an aggregation function that automatically aggregates a plurality of data values into an aggregate data value for an attribute across a plurality of components of a document. The system defines an attribute identifier for the aggregation attribute, where the attribute identifier defines the attribute of the document whose data values are automatically aggregated by the aggregation function. The system further defines one or more filters for the aggregation attribute, wherein the one or more filters define the components of the document whose data values are automatically aggregated by the aggregation function.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2014Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Karlay Tan, Sudhir Subramanian, David Scott Merrill, Lee Hian Quek

Patent number: 7998191Abstract: An apparatus for preparing an endoluminal prostheses, having at least one layer of biocompatible material, for loading into a delivery device. The apparatus ensures the uniform collapse of the prosthesis and enables the use of diminished loading forces for loading the prosthesis into the delivery device. The apparatus includes a device to stabilize the prosthesis so that the prosthesis can be incrementally axially rotated, as well as a device to manipulate the layer of biocompatible material simultaneously at several distinct points along an axis of the prosthesis so that a set of alterations is formed in the layer of biocompatible material.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2004Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc.Inventors: Scott Merrill, Scott Pletzer

Publication number: 20100299174Abstract: Techniques for supporting shared procurement services in an enterprise application. According to one set of embodiments, associations between procurement service providers and procurement clients are stored, where the associations represent outsourcing relationships between these entities in the operational structure of an enterprise. The associations are then used by the application to facilitate the management of procurement-related content and the processing of procurement transactions. In one embodiment, the associations enable procurement-related content to be created/managed centrally by a procurement service provider and then made accessible to procurement clients serviced by the procurement service provider. In another embodiment, a rules-driven mechanism is provided for routing procurement requisitions from procurement clients to associated procurement service providers for processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2009Publication date: November 25, 2010Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Suman Guha, Margaret Lloyd, Seth Stafford, Lee-Hian Quek, Tom David Anthony, David Scott Merrill, Nigel King, Kim Elizabeth Powell
