Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100005631HANDLE ASSEMBLY FOR A DOMESTIC APPLIANCE - A handle assembly for mounting to an appliance door includes a main body member having first and second end portions separated by an intermediate portion. First and second plastic end-caps are tightly fit to the first and second end portions via fasteners. The handle assembly is mounted to a front face of the door through interengagment of the fasteners with clips attached to the appliance door. Latch and ramp portions of clips cooperate with the respective fasteners to draw the end-caps into a close locking engagement with the appliance door.01-14-2010

20100042100Vessel Sealing Instrument - A bipolar electrosurgical instrument for clamping, grasping, manipulating, and sealing tissue includes first and second shafts each having a jaw member extending from a distal end thereof and a handle disposed at a proximal end thereof. The handle being operable to effect movement of the jaw members relative to one another from a first position wherein the jaw members are disposed in spaced relation relative to one another to a second position wherein the jaw members cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween. The bipolar instrument is connectable to a source of electrical energy having a first electrical potential connected to one of the jaw members and a second electrical potential connected to the other of the jaw members such that the jaw members are capable of selectively conducting energy though tissue held therebetween to effect a seal. Both the first and second electrical potentials are transmitted to the jaw members through the first shaft.02-18-2010
20100168520VIEW OPTIMIZER AND STABILIZER FOR USE WITH SURGICAL SCOPES - The present application discloses several devices for maintaining visualization with a surgical scope. The embodiments of the device are adapted to shield, defog or clean the lens of the surgical scope while the surgical scope is being used to perform a surgical procedure within a patient's body. In some embodiments, the view optimizer is provided in multiple parts enabling separation of one or more operator control features from engagement with the surgical scope. In some embodiments, the view optimizer features stabilization means for securement and positioning with the surgical scope.07-01-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080219928Measuring Gastrointestinal Parameters - The present application relates to methods for determining gastric residual volumes and amounts of dietary formula in gastric contents using measurements of soluble solids concentrations in gastric contents, and in some embodiments, a concentrate having a relatively high concentration of soluble solids. The methods can be used for measuring gastric residual volumes of subjects who have fasted or have a low or reduced gastric content.09-11-2008
20100198014Systems and methods for optimizing and maintaining visualization of a surgical field during the use of surgical scopes - Systems and methods make use of a view optimizing assembly having a deflector assembly with critical physical, pneumatic, and optical characteristics that make possible intra-operative defogging, surgical debris deflection, and cleaning of a laparoscope lens during minimally invasive surgery, while also maintaining visualization of the surgical site. The view optimizing assembly can incorporate a quick exchange feature, which makes possible a surgical method for maintaining clear visualization that includes the ability to make a quick exchange of laparoscopes having different operating characteristics (e.g., laparoscopes with different tip angles, lengths, or diameters) entirely on the sterile operating field and without interference with the preexisting surgical set-up on the sterile operating field. The view optimizing assembly integrates with the existing suite of minimally invasive instrumentation. It does not interfere with the surgical set-up, and it requires minimal change in the process or practice of a surgical operating room (OR) team.08-05-2010

20110202589SCRIPTING/PROXY SYSTEMS, METHODS AND CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS - Techniques for providing a proxy service are disclosed. In an embodiment, a proxy system includes a proxy service module and a scripting engine. The proxy service module is configured to intercept and process messages that travel between user devices and the Internet and the scripting engine is in communication with the proxy service module and is configured to manage a plurality of scripts that are written in one or more scripting languages. The proxy service module is configured to intercept a message that travels to the proxy service module and that is related to a user device, to associate a script with the intercepted message, and to cause the script to be executed at one of the user device, the proxy system, or a system that is external to the user device and the proxy system depending on the function associated with the script.08-18-2011
