| 20110054586 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF PLACEMENT OF A GRAFT OR GRAFT SYSTEM - Some embodiments relate to endoluminal prostheses having a first stent portion and a second stent portion, a main graft body comprising first, second, and third portions, the second portion having a cross-sectional size that is significantly larger than a cross-sectional size of the first or third portions, and also significantly larger than a cross-sectional size of the target vessel. In some embodiments, the first portion of the main graft body can be attached to the first stent portion and the third portion of the main graft body can be attached to the second stent portion. The prostheses can be configured such that the second portion of the main graft body is not directly attached to the first stent portion, the second stent portion, or any other internal support structure. In some embodiments, one or more openings can be formed in the second portion of the main graft body. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110054587 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF PLACEMENT OF A GRAFT OR GRAFT SYSTEM - Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a method of deploying a graft in a patient's blood vessel having at least a first and a second branch blood vessel, comprising advancing a delivery catheter into a blood vessel, the delivery catheter supporting a fenestrated prosthesis therein, wherein the prosthesis comprises a main graft body, exposing at least one branch sheath, the branch sheath being positioned within the delivery catheter so as to project from a main lumen of the prosthesis through a first opening formed through a wall of the prosthesis, and advancing an angiographic catheter into the branch sheath and cannulating a first target branch vessel before expanding the main graft body of the prosthesis. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110054594 | FENESTRATED PROSTHESIS - Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to endoluminal prostheses having one or more reinforced fenestrations therein. The one or more reinforced fenestrations can have improved sealing capabilities with respect to branch grafts deployed within the fenestrations, improved tear resistance and expandability, and improved pull-out resistance for branch grafts. In some embodiments, the endoluminal prosthesis can have a main graft body defining a flow lumen therethrough, a first opening passing through a wall of the main graft body, and a first support member supported by the main graft body and overlapping an edge of the first opening, the first support member being configured to at least increase the tear resistance of the main graft body adjacent to the first opening. The support member can be stitched or otherwise attached to the main graft adjacent to the fenestration. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20110138589 | Sash window and door transportation clip - A clip assembly may safely secure sliding sashes of a window or door during transportation, and, in one embodiment, be comprised of a strap member and a pawl member. The strap member may be comprised of a bumper portion, and a strap portion extending therefrom, where the strap portion may have a plurality of teeth formed within the thickness of the strap. The pawl member may have a pair of sidewalls supported by a top wall and an intermediate wall. The top wall may have a protrusion which includes a plurality of pawl teeth formed to complement the strap teeth, and be located proximate to the intermediate wall. The strap may be introduced through the gap between the top rail of an upper sash and bottom rail of the second sash, to then be inserted into the pawl, and thereby be retained by the respective teeth to secure the sashes. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20090248046 | SURGICAL SUTURING APPARATUS WITH MEASUREMENT STRUCTURE - There is disclosed suture manipulating instrumentation having measuring structure to determine the length of suture during a given point in a surgery. The instrument is preferably a surgical suturing instrument capable of manipulating a suture carrying needle at the distal end. The measuring structure in the form of a scale is provided on the suturing instrument at a location remote from the distal end. The length of suture can easily be determined with the use of the scale at any point during a surgery. There is also disclosed a kit for providing the suture measuring structure on other suture manipulating instruments, as well as, methods of using suture manipulating instrumentation haying the disclosed measuring structure. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20100278125 | REDIRECTING A CALL BY A CIRCUIT SWITCHED NETWORK TO AN INTERNET PROTOCOL MULTIMEDIA SUBSYSTEM (IMS) NETWORK - A device receives a call for a user device associated with an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) network, where the call includes a mobile directory number (MDN) associated with the user device, and retrieves, from a home location register (HLR), an address of a wireless intelligent network (WIN) termination trigger service control point (SCP). The device sends, to the WIN termination trigger SCP, a first message that includes the MDN, receives, from the WIN termination trigger SCP, a second message that includes steering digits as a prefix to the MDN, and generates a third message that includes a called party number set to the MDN and omits the steering digits. The device also routes, based on the steering digits, the third message to a media gateway control function/media gateway (MGCF/MGW) of the IMS network, where the MGCF/MGW further processes the call. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20090141916 | Loudspeaker-Transducer Array - Loudspeakers optimized for use in array environments are described herein. In one embodiment, a system includes a transducer-array module having a plurality of piston-based transducers. Each transducer is configured to drive a particular one of a plurality of discrete non-concentric acoustic-radiating diaphragms. A frame is positioned around an outermost boundary of a plurality of the discrete non-concentric acoustic-radiating diaphragms, which are adjacent to the outermost boundary. The transducer-array module may be used in array configurations, including, but not necessarily limited to: line, planar, and phased arrays. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090141926 | Optimized Moving-Coil Loudspeaker - An optimized moving-coil loudspeaker is described herein. The loudspeaker includes an acoustic-radiating diaphragm that is non-cylindrical shape. The diaphragm is a substantially-planar substrate having uniform density. A moving-coil assembly is coupled to the acoustic-radiating diaphragm. The assembly is configured to move back and forth in a linear fashion. As the assembly is connected to the diaphragm it causes acoustic waves to be emitted from a front surface the acoustic-radiating diaphragm. The acoustic-radiating diaphragm is not supported by a conventional basket, among other differences. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20120112896 | VEHICLE GUIDANCE SYSTEM - A method and apparatus for monitoring movement of a vehicle system. A sensor system monitors movement of a structure relative to a vehicle. The structure is connected to the vehicle in the vehicle system. A computer system identifies a number of distances from the sensor system to a number of objects associated with the structure. The computer system identifies an orientation of the structure relative to the vehicle using the number of distances from the sensor system associated with the vehicle to the number of objects. The computer system determines whether the orientation of the structure meets a number of criteria. The computer system initiates an operation for the vehicle system in response to an absence of a determination that the orientation meets the number of criteria. | 05-10-2012 |
