Publication number: 20240070526Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable variable and dynamic feedback to electronic activities by receiving event data and utilizing a feedback machine learning model to predict an average feedback attribute and an average feedback variability attribute based on the event data. A feedback data entry is added to a user profile to store the average feedback attribute and the average feedback variability attribute. A new event and a new event attribute are received for the user profile, and a feedback probability distribution for the new event is generated based on the new event attribute, the average feedback attribute, and the average feedback variability attribute. A new event feedback is generated for the new event based on a random selection from the feedback probability distribution and is output to a computing device associated with the user profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Samuel Rapowitz, Bryant Yee, Zachary Sweeney, Steven Black, Alexander Lin, Jenny Melendez, Joshua Peters

Publication number: 20160001050Abstract: A ureteral stent includes a shaft having a soft tip and deployable anchor at its distal end and a coiled pigtail at its proximal end. The stent is delivered by a wire assembly which includes an inner wire and a sheath. The inner wire extends through a lumen within the stent shaft and is used to deploy the anchor structure. The wire then separates from the stent so that it may be removed for full stent deployment.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2014Publication date: January 7, 2016Inventors: Steven YEE, Robert BEHL, Randy KESTEN, Jose GALDOS

Publication number: 20130274791Abstract: A luminal occlusion device comprises a tension member, an elongate shaft, and a flat film having an axial receptacle which is received over a distal portion of the tension member. The flat film has proximal and distal ends which are attached to the distal ends of the tension member and the elongate shaft, respectively. Thus, distal advancement of the tension member relative to the shaft will cause the flat film to assume a low profile configuration, while proximal retraction of the tension member relative to the elongate shaft will cause the flat film to assume a foreshortened, compacted configuration. The film usually includes one or more radioopaque markers which help shape the compacted film.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2013Publication date: October 17, 2013Applicant: Percutaneous Systems, Inc.Inventors: Rupesh DESAI, Alexander L. HUANG, Steven YEE, Jennifer HODOR

Publication number: 20090287193Abstract: A stone removal system comprises a sweeping structure and a dilating structure. The sweeping structure is deployed on a kidney side of a urinary stone in the ureter. Should the sweeping structure be unable to remove the kidney stone, the dilating structure is placed on the bladder side of the kidney stone and used to dilate the lumen of the ureter. The dilated lumen allows the sweeping structure to more easily remove the kidney stone. Should the kidney stone still resist removal, a lithotripsy device may be introduced through the ureter and energy directed through openings in the dilation structure to fragment the stone.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2009Publication date: November 19, 2009Applicant: Percutaneous Systems, Inc.Inventors: Rupesh Desai, Steven Yee
