  • Publication number: 20240293648
    Abstract: An implantation tool for implanting a paranasal sinus fluid access implant device through a surgical path between a lacrimal apparatus in an orbit and a paranasal sinus in an implantation procedure to provide direct fluid communication access from the lacrimal apparatus in the orbit to the paranasal sinus through an internal passage of the implant device. The implantation assembly comprises the implant device and an implantation tool wherein the implant device is mounted in a mounting orientation on a mounting portion of a carrier member of the implantation tool with a securement mechanism of the implantation tool in a securement configuration. The securement mechanism is reconfigurable to a released configuration to release the implant device from securement to the mounting portion of the carrier member.

  • Patent number: 11847472
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for linearizing interfaces within computing applications. In some embodiments, the techniques include defining a sequence of user interface elements, where at least a subset of user interface elements in the sequence of user interface elements correspond to controls for affecting a session state. Responsive to receiving an input value through a user interface element, a linearization process adds the input value to at least one dataset for evaluating a current state for each respective user interface element subsequent to the user interface element in the sequence of user interface elements. The process further evaluates the current state for each respective user interface element subsequent to the user interface element in the sequence of user interface elements based on values within the at least one data set. The process may disable and/or enable one or more user interface elements based on the evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20210209519
    Abstract: A method for reserving a vehicle dwelling zone includes receiving a request from a first user via a software application, and selecting (e.g., automatically), via the software application and based on the request, an available vehicle dwelling zone. The vehicle dwelling zone can include, for example, a curb space, an alley space, a private driveway, or a parking garage. The software application reserves (e.g., automatically) at least a portion of the selected vehicle dwelling zone for occupancy of a vehicle, by causing storage, in a memory operably coupled to the software application, of a reservation record including an association between the first user and the selected vehicle dwelling zone. The at least the portion of the selected vehicle dwelling zone can be reserved for a user-configurable hold period of A second user can be alerted, via the software application, of the reservation record.
