Surgical Instruments And Procedures For Stabilizing The Beating Heart During Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

View page
US Patent:
6394951, May 28, 2002
Filed:
Mar 13, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/525774
Inventors:
Charles S. Taylor - San Francisco CA
Dwight P. Morejohn - Davis CA
Benjamin Sherman - Milpitas CA
Gary B. Weller - Los Gatos CA
William Friederich Witt - Palo Alto CA
Caralin R. Adair - Mountain View CA
Assignee:
Cardiothoracic Systems, Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
A61B 132
US Classification:
600210, 600235, 600231
Abstract:
The invention is methods and devices which a surgeon may use to stabilize the beating heart during a surgical procedure on the heart. Pursuant to the invention, a stabilizing device is introduced through an opening in the chest and brought into contact with the beating heart. By contacting the heart with the device and by exerting a stabilizing force on the device, the motion of the heart caused by the contraction of the heart muscles is effectively eliminated such that the heart is stabilized and the site of the surgery moves only minimally if at all. Typically, in separate steps, the surgeon contacts the heart with the stabilizing device, assesses the degree of movement of the anastomosis site, and exerts a force on the stabilizing device such that the contraction of the beating heart causes only minimal excess motion at the surgery site. By fixing the position of the stabilizing device in a configuration where the motion of the beating heart is effectively eliminated, the surgeon is able to stabilize the beating heart for the duration of the procedure. The stabilizing device may be attached to a rigid support or may be attached to a semi-rigid support which is rendered motionless mechanically, chemically, or by human intervention.

US Patent:
7056287, Jun 6, 2006
Filed:
Mar 14, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/100314
Inventors:
Charles S. Taylor - San Francisco CA, US
Dwight P. Morejohn - Davis CA, US
Benjamin Sherman - Milpitas CA, US
Gary B. Weller - Los Gatos CA, US
William Friederich Witt - Palo Alto CA, US
Caralin R. Adair - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Cardiothoracic Systems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
A61B 1/32
US Classification:
600210, 600229
Abstract:
Devices for stabilizing tissue during a surgical procedure. The beating heart may be stabilized during a surgical procedure on the heart, using a described stabilizing device. In one example, a stabilizing device is introduced through an opening in the chest and brought into contact with the beating heart. By contacting the heart with the device and by exerting a stabilizing force on the device, the motion of the heart caused by the contraction of the heart muscles id effectively eliminated such that the heart is stabilized and the site of the surgery moves only minimally if at all.

US Patent:
7585277, Sep 8, 2009
Filed:
Feb 1, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/346004
Inventors:
Charles S. Taylor - Stockton NJ, US
Dwight P. Morejohn - Davis CA, US
Benjamin Sherman - Milpitas CA, US
Gary B. Weller - Los Gatos CA, US
William F. Witt - Palo Alto CA, US
Caralin R. Adair - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
MAQUET Cardiovascular LLC - San Jose CA
International Classification:
A61B 1/32
US Classification:
600210, 600229
Abstract:
Methods and devices which a surgeon may use to stabilize the beating heart during a surgical procedure on the heart. A stabilizing device may be introduced through an opening in the chest and brought into contact with the beating heart. By contacting the heart with the device and by exerting a stabilizing force on the device, the motion of the heart caused by the contraction of the heart muscles in a vicinity of a site of surgery to be performed, is effectively eliminated. A surgeon may contact the heart with the stabilizing means, assess the degree of movement of the anastomosis site, and exert a force on the stabilizing means such that the contraction of the beating heart causes only minimal excess motion at the surgery site. The stabilizing means may be attached to a rigid support or may be attached to a semi-rigid support which is rendered motionless mechanically, chemically, or by human intervention.

Firefighters Tracer Line Apparatus

US Patent:
8413763, Apr 9, 2013
Filed:
Mar 24, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/731064
Inventors:
Ronald William Hermann - Rocklin CA, US
Andrew Hudson - Santa Rosa CA, US
Caralin Adair - Santa Rosa CA, US
Assignee:
Rescue Products, Inc. - El Dorado Hills CA
International Classification:
A62B 35/00
US Classification:
182 18, 182231
Abstract:
A rescue line apparatus is configured as a horizontal tether for being readily connected between a door and a portion of the door jamb or other entry location and extending a line as the user moves within the structure. The device allows the user to readily locate their way back for egressing the structure, and can be readily disengaged by the user, which activates a braking system that prevents unit “run-away”. A multi-attach anchor head couples the far end of the line to any desired structure, and has a beacon assembly which outputs a light pattern of sufficient brightness to be seen by the user when visually locating their attachment point within the structure. A multi-element visual indicator is configured for indicating line extension distance, and displaying tether line status. Many options promote safety and a fully cooperative environment.

Post-Hole Digger With Foot Rests

View page
US Patent:
20160286711, Oct 6, 2016
Filed:
Mar 29, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/084139
Inventors:
Andrew John Hudson - Santa Rose CA, US
Caralin Riva Adair - Santa Rosa CA, US
International Classification:
A01B 1/02
E02F 3/02
E21B 11/00
A01C 5/02
Abstract:
A foot rest for a post-hole digger and post-hole diggers using the foot rest are disclosed. The foot rest includes two portions, one attached to each shaft of the post-hole digger. The two portions have structure that allows them to engage one another when the two shafts of the post-hole digger are vertical. The foot rest does not extend beyond the bore diameter of the post-hole digger. Thus, in order to keep the user's feet on the relatively short foot rest, the contact surface of the foot rest may be angled. In some embodiments, the foot rest may be symmetrical, so that either side may be used as the upper surface. A post-hole digger including the foot rests typically includes at least two foot rests, spaced from one another and facing different directions along the shafts of the tool.

Camera Quick Attachment And Release Mechanism

View page
US Patent:
20150346588, Dec 3, 2015
Filed:
May 27, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/723191
Inventors:
Andrew John Hudson - Santa Rosa CA, US
Caralin Riva Adair - Santa Rosa CA, US
International Classification:
G03B 17/56
F16B 2/14
F16M 13/02
Abstract:
A quick attachment and release mounting mechanism for a camera. The mechanism includes a clamping base with clamping structure adapted to be secured around an object, such as a paddle, and an adapter. The clamping base includes a receptacle which is trapezoidal and narrower at the top, and also tapers from one end to the other. The receptacle is disclosed forwardly of the clamping structure. The adapter includes a fastener adapted to engage a camera, and a leading portion with a shape that is complementary to that of the receptacle. A latch mechanism is provided to latch the adapter and receptacle together. The latch mechanism is shielded from accidental disengagement by a frame.

Digging And Tilling Implements With Knee Clearance

View page
US Patent:
20140292009, Oct 2, 2014
Filed:
Mar 31, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/231188
Inventors:
Andrew John Hudson - Santa Rosa CA, US
Caralin Riva Adair - Santa Rosa CA, US
International Classification:
A01B 1/02
A01D 9/00
US Classification:
294 555, 294 60
Abstract:
Digging and tilling tools with both a central step and an offset shaft are disclosed. The central step allows a user to apply pressure directly over the centerline of the tool head, and the shaft, offset to one side, allows clearance for the knee. The handle on the other end of the shaft may be offset in line with the centerline of the tool head. In some embodiments, the offset shaft may be connected with the tool head by means of connecting members which connect between the shaft and sides of the tool head, leaving a central opening and acting as “stirrups” or guides for the user's foot. In addition to the horizontal offset of the shaft, the tool head may be rearwardly offset from the shaft. Also disclosed are tool heads with tines having L- and T-shaped cross-sections.
