Publication number: 20240112261Abstract: A computer system for integrating trading account security with associate investment policy (AIP) governance is provided. The system includes a processor and a receiver. A received trade request may include an associate social security number, an associate name, a security name, a last security purchase data, and a broker dealer name. The employee may be a private side employee. The processor may use a series of containers in electronic communication with a database or database engine to determine that the trade request is industry compliant and employer regulations compliant. When the trade request is determined to be non-compliant, then the processor may electronically message or e-mail the employee 1) a trade denial and 2) insider trading mitigation messages. Following a determination that the trade request is fully compliant; the processor may transmit the trade request to an employer trading platform and prompt the associate to execute the trade request.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Aravind Shankaragouda Singtalur, Manmohan V. Datla-Viswasai, Petar Puskarich, Srinath Chakravarty, Steven Greene, Dinesh Kumar Agrawal, Kenneth Boyd, Kerry Vaughan, Stephen Belton

Publication number: 20240112259Abstract: A system for integrating trading account security with associate investment policy (AIP) governance is provided. The system includes a processor, a receiver, and a series of containers. The receiver may receive an associate trade request including an associate social security number (SSN), an associate name, a name of a security to which the trade request is directed, a last security purchase data, the last security purchase data associated with the security, and a broker dealer name. The employee may be a private side employee. The system may include a series of containers for storing microservices. The containers communicate with a database engine. The trade request may be industry compliant and employer regulations compliant. The processor may transmit a fully compliant trade request to an employer platform. Following receipt of a trade request confirmation from the employer platform, the associate trading platform may execute the trade request.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Aravind Shankaragouda Singtalur, Manmohan V.

Publication number: 20240112260Abstract: A system for integrating trading account security with associate investment policy (AIP) governance is provided, including a processor and a receiver for receiving an associate trade request. The trade request may include an associate social security number and name, a name of a security, a last security purchase data, the last data for the security, and a broker dealer name. The processor may determine that the employee is a private side employee and then use a series of containers in electronic communication with a database or engine to determine industry and employer regulations compliance, after which the processor may transmit the request to an employer trading platform and may include an instruction to allow executing the trade request within a pre-determined time period and prompting the associate with a selectable option to execute the trade request.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Aravind Shankaragouda Singtalur, Manmohan V.

Patent number: 11595520Abstract: Initiating a conference call includes receiving a conference call request message from an initiating user specifying a plurality of other users and determining an availability of the other users to receive conference call invitations. A conference call is initiated between the initiating user and one or more of the other users that are determined to be available. The availability of one or more of the other users determined to be unavailable is monitored and interaction with a conference call invitation by one or more of the other users determined to be unavailable is enabled upon their monitored availability changing from unavailable to available. The interaction with the conference call invitation by the other users is conditioned on whether the conference call is still in progress.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: W.

Publication number: 20220313425Abstract: A polymeric heart valve is disclosed which includes a valve body having a central axis and including a conduit extending along the central axis from an inflow end to an outflow end; and at least three flexible leaflets extending from the body into the conduit, each of the leaflets defining an attachment curve with the body. Respective pairs of leaflets each define a commissure located proximal the body. The at least three leaflets define a partially open position at rest, a fully open position deflecting away from the central axis during forward blood flow along a direction from the inflow end to the outflow end, and a closed position deflecting toward the central axis during reverse blood flow along a direction from the outflow end to the inflow end.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Applicant: ABIOMED, INC.Inventors: Scott C.

Publication number: 20210145475Abstract: A cannula supporting a percutaneous pump can include a proximal section with a first flexural modulus. The cannula can include one or more distal sections with a flexural modulus that is different than the first flexural modulus. The material and its arrangement along the length of the cannula can be selected so as to influence bending properties. This can, for example, allow efficient positioning of the cannula in a desired location without displacing the guidewire.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2020Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Zhenghong Tao, Christopher Zarins, Dion Mraz, Stephen Vaughan, Julius Steven Becker

Publication number: 20200406001Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a reinforced cannula for use in a blood pump assembly. The reinforced cannula comprises one or more thermoformed reinforced end portions. The thermoformed reinforced end portions may be stiffer than a medial portion of the cannula, allowing the medial portion of the cannula body to stretch and bend more readily than the cannula ends when the cannula is subject to an applied stress, reducing the stress and strain on the cannula ends.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2020Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventors: Zenghong Tao, Stephen Vaughan

Patent number: 9987063Abstract: A resorbable bone plate includes an elongated base member with a plurality of countersinks formed on the top surface. The countersinks provide a location for screw holes to be drilled through the plate and into a bone. Screws can then be inserted through the holes and into the bone. The countersinks allow the screw heads to remain flush or close to flush to the top surface of the bone plate, thereby reducing the overall profile of the system. The bottom surface of the bone plate is solid to provide significant resistance to deformation. The bone plate can have countersinks formed in a variety of configurations to provide a multitude of options for a surgeon to select a screw insertion location.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2015Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Stryker European Holdings I, LLCInventors: Stephen Vaughan Harris, Julia Zelenkova, Ediuska V.
