  • Patent number: 10772623
    Abstract: A coupling system includes an applicator tool and an attachment ring mounted on the applicator tool. Clips are contained within the applicator tool and are deployed through the attachment ring in order to anchor the attachment ring to biological tissue. When deployed, tips of the clips follow a curved trajectory through an annular cuff of the attachment ring and through the underlying tissue. The tips loop back out of the tissue and to a location where they are later trapped or clamped by the attachment ring. While the tips are trapped or clamped, the applicator tool cinches the clips by pulling rear segments of the clips. Thereafter, the applicator tool disconnects from the attachment ring which remains anchored to the tissue and serves as a coupling for a cannula. The cannula can have movable lock members that secure it to the attachment ring.

  • Publication number: 20200116436
    Abstract: A heat transferring module includes a first conductor plate, a second conductor plate, a working fluid and a reinforcing layer. The second conductor plate is connected to the first conductor plate to form a cavity. The working fluid is located in the cavity. The reinforcing layer is formed on an outer surface of at least one of the first conductor plate and the second conductor plate, wherein at least one of the first conductor plate and the second conductor plate has a capillary structure. The capillary structure is located on an inner surface of at least one of the first conductor plate and the second conductor plate, and a structural strength of the reinforcing layer is greater than a structural strength of the first conductor plate and a structural strength of the second conductor plate. In addition, a manufacturing method of a heat transferring module is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10314571
    Abstract: Systems for tissue repair are described where an elongate tissue repair device may be introduced into a single incision to access the damaged tissue. A suture delivery assembly may be sized for insertion through a single incision and positioned into proximity with a damaged or ruptured tissue region. A first portion of the damaged tissue region may be positioned within or along a channel defined along the suture delivery assembly and one or more lengths of suture may be secured to the first portion via the device. A second portion of the damaged tissue region may be similarly positioned within or along the channel and one or more additional lengths of suture may be secured to the second portion via the device. The first and second portions may then be approximated and secured to one another via the sutures to facilitate healing of the damaged tissue region.

  • Patent number: 10085204
    Abstract: A data transmission system includes a device and a base. The base includes a near field communication (NFC) module and a processing module configured to determine whether a wireless network exits. The NFC module includes a determining unit configured to determine whether the NFC module writes a predetermined tag after the processing module determines the wireless network exits and configured to determine whether the predetermined tag is an authorization code, a sending unit configured to send a service set identifier (SSID) and a password to the device after the predetermined tag is the authorization code, and a control unit configured to switch an input mode of the base to a wireless network mode after the SSID and the password are sent to the device. The device is configured to be connected to the wireless network after receiving the SSID and the password. A communication method is also provided.
