| 20080249599 | Stent With Therapeutic Agent Delivery Structures in Low Strain Regions - A system for treating abnormalities of the cardiovascular system includes a stent having a plurality of therapeutic agent-carrying regions and non therapeutic agent-carrying regions. The therapeutic agent-carrying regions are located within low strain regions of the stent and the non therapeutic agent-carrying regions are located within high strain regions of the stent. Another embodiment of the invention includes a method of manufacturing a therapeutic agent-carrying stent comprising forming a stent framework and applying a formulation containing one or more therapeutic agents to the stent framework while preventing the therapeutic agents from contacting the high strain regions of the stent framework. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090012597 | Universal Modular Stent Graft Assembly to Accommodate Flow to Collateral Branches - Universal modular stented graft assemblies are assembled, on site, and often in a patient's parent artery, from at least two components; a first component and a second component. The first and second components each include a window, or fenestration. The second component couples with the first component by fitting at least partially in the first component to form the universal modular stent graft assembly with an adjustable collateral opening. As the first and second components are assembled, the first and second components are adjusted relative to each other so that the first and second component windows overlap to form a collateral opening whose size is selectable, depending on the overlap, with the desired position and dimensions in the universal modular stent graft assembly. | 01-08-2009 |

A method of manufacturing a drug elution stent includes the steps of providing a stent having a stent framework and coating at least a portion of the stent framework with a drug elution portion. The drug elution portion includes a first sugar layer disposed on the stent framework, at least one therapeutic agent layer disposed on the first sugar layer and a second sugar layer disposed on the at least one therapeutic agent layer | 01-22-2009 |
| 20110245782 | Method of Using Catheter with Rotating Portion - A catheter includes a proximal portion and a distal portion, the distal portion including an arcuate portion. The catheter further includes a rotating portion, the rotating portion connecting the proximal portion and distal portion, the rotating portion including a first piece and a second piece, wherein the first piece and second piece create a snap fit. Methods of using the catheter include threading the inserted catheter through the vasculature and allowing the distal portion to freely rotate about an axis defined by the rotating portion responsive to any tortuosity in the vasculature. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110270339 | Two-Stage Delivery Systems and Methods for Fixing a Leadless Implant to Tissue - Systems and methods of delivering and retaining a leadless medical implant to tissue, wherein a docking base and the implant are sequentially delivered to an implantation site. In a first stage, the docking base is delivered and deployed into tissue at an implantation site. In a second stage, the implant is navigated through the vasculature and coupled to the docking base. Various mechanisms for navigating the implant to the previously implanted docking base and coupling the implant thereto are described. Navigational mechanisms include advancing the implant over a proximally extending wire portion that is releasably attached to the previously implanted docking base, utilizing fluoroscopic visualization to guide the implant to a previously implanted docking base that is at least partially radiopaque and utilizing electromagnetism to guide the implant to a previously implanted docking base that is electro-magnetizable. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20090139439 | PORTABLE BOAT MOORING SYSTEM - A portable boat mooring system is provided that includes a base removably or non-removably attached to a pier. An arm assembly can extend from the base outwardly beyond an edge of the pier. A mooring line that has a resiliently flexible portion thereof attaches a boat to the system while mooring the boat to the pier and maintaining a space therebetween. A tool-less hardware assembly can be utilized which allows users to manually install the base to the pier while they remain on top of the pier or above an upper surface of the pier during the entire installation. An anchoring device can selectively hold the mooring line at a predetermined length or state of tension. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100096396 | Holder for Beverage Containers - Holders for beverage containers are provided that can hold a beverage container in place and also seal or cover the beverage container, making it more difficult for foreign matter to enter the beverage container. The holder includes a base in which an actuator is mounted. Upper and lower rails are connected to and biased toward each other by the actuator. Upper and lower arms and upper and lower plates are, respectively, connected to the upper and lower rails. The upper and lower plates axially restrain the beverage container from above and below. A locking arm selectively engages at least one of the actuator and the upper and lower arms in a manner that supplements the biasing force provided by the actuator, clamping the upper and lower plates more tightly against the beverage container, and fixing the upper and lower plates in that condition, so that the beverage container is securely and tightly held between the upper and lower plates. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20110233251 | ACCESSORY HOLDER SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING TO A CUP HOLDER - An accessory holder system for mounting to a cup holder is provided. The system includes an accessory holder and a mount that is attached to the accessory holder and that may be installed in a tool-less manner into a cup holder, such that the mount grips the cup holder with enough force to be usable in highly dynamic applications. The mount includes an arm that may be a component of a scissors link and that pushes a pad against an inner surface of the cup holder to lock the mount in the cup holder. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20110258529 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXCLUDING SERVING AN ADVERTISEMENT CAMPAIGN TO UNDESIRED WEB PAGES - Systems and methods are presented for determining whether a web page loaded by a user from a server other than the server of the enterprise providing the advertisement content is safe for displaying the advertisement content. In some aspects, the systems and methods discussed determine if content of a web page to be augmented is content safe for delivering content from a publisher. A script of a web page being loaded by a browser which may execute on a client may identify that content from a publisher is to be displayed with content of the web page. The script may transmit to a server a request to check a safeness of the content of the web page prior to displaying the publisher's content. The script may receive from the server, responsive to the server determining the content of the web page is not safe for the publisher, a predetermined content not from the publisher to display on the web page. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20120095834 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING A BEHAVIOR HISTORY OF A USER TO AUGMENT CONTENT OF A WEBPAGE - The present disclosure is related to systems and method for selecting keywords to augment on a web page based on a behavior history of a user. The system may include a profiler storing to a user profile identified by a unique identifier interactions of a user with one or more keywords on one or more web pages visited by the user. The interactions may be received from an agent of a client. The one or more keywords augmented with content from the server. The system may include a server receiving from the agent content of a web page being loaded on the client for the user. The server may determine keywords from the content of the web page that match a predetermined set of keywords of one or more campaigns for the web page. The server may identify that one or more of the matching keywords are stored in the user profile and may change, responsive to this identification, a ranking of the matching keywords based on the user profile. The server may transmit to the agent a set of matching keywords and their corresponding campaigns based on the changed ranking. | 04-19-2012 |
