Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for occluding an anatomical structure including a device having at least first and second clamp portions adapted to cooperate to move from an open position adjacent an anatomical structure to a closed position engaging and occluding the anatomical structure. A system for delivery of a fluid to affect occlusion of an anatomical structure is provided, as well as an applicator for deploying occlusion devices having different sizes.

Abstract:

Webcrawlers and scraper bots are detrimental because they place a significant processing burden on web servers, corrupt traffic metrics, use excessive bandwidth, excessively load web servers, create spam, cause ad click fraud, encourage unauthorized linking, deprive the original collector/poster of the information of exclusive rights to analysis and summarize information posted on their own site, and enable anyone to create low-cost Internet advertising network products for ultimate sellers. A scaleable predictive service distributed in the cloud can be used to detect scraper activity in real time and take appropriate interdictive access up to and including denial of service based on the likelihood that non-human agents are responsible for accesses. Information gathered from a number of servers can be aggregated to provide real time interdiction protecting a number of disparate servers in a network.

International Classification:

A61B 17072

US Classification:

227178

Abstract:

A stapler mechanism is described which contains a stapling assembly, and anvil assembly, firing means and knife means. These means are activated by a firing trigger. The anvil assembly is closed upon the stapling assembly by means of a closure trigger. The firing trigger is inoperable until the closure trigger has been activated. Another mechanism in the stapler is capable of locking the closure trigger after use so it does not spring open inadvertently before actuation of the firing trigger. Additionally, the stapler mechanism allows forward motion of both triggers and also is capable of allowing reverse motion of the closure trigger to open the mechanism. Furthermore, the stapler mechanism contains means for obstructing the flow of insufflation gasses or bodily fluid from the surgical site through the instrument during endoscopic surgery.

International Classification:

A47C 3100
E05C 1904

US Classification:

5600

Abstract:

A mobile support unit such as an IV stand or the like coupled to a mobile hospital bed, gurney or wheelchair by a latch mechanism which provides hands free operation thereby avoiding the need for a nurse or care provider to manually manipulate the latch to secure the units together for tandem transport. Further, the latch mechanism according to this invention includes a clutch which prevents relative movement of the IV stand or support unit with respect to the hospital bed during transport up to a specific adjustable torque level thereby avoiding the problem of the IV stand or support unit swinging freely relative to the bed during movement. Further, the clutch permits movement of the IV stand or support unit through an arc relative to the bed when a specified force is applied as required by the nurse or care provider to reposition the stand or support unit relative to the bed and provide increased access to the patient or the like. The IV stand includes a relatively heavy base which provides a low center of gravity for the unit and offers a very stabile mobile IV stand which resists tilting or tipping during transport.
