20130283158 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A CONFIGURATION OF A DOCUMENT PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT - A system implements a method for approving and modifying a configuration of one or more print-related devices or other assets. The method displays a schematic of an environment and the assets in the environment, receives a user instruction to modify an asset; and determines a key metric for the asset. In response to the instruction, the system produces a modified schematic and presents it to one or more other users for approval. The system may selectively present portions of the schematic and/or the key metrics, depending on each user's authorization level. | 10-24-2013 |

20090287079 | Hemostatic guiding catheter - A hemostatic guiding catheter is biased to curve toward the artery wall and the distal opening is shaped so its edge is congruent with the artery wall. One or more annular balloons are inflated to produce a barrier between the guiding/catheter and the artery wall stopping the flow of blood and thus hemostasis. The annular balloons may be biased to inflate more on the side away from the distal opening thus imparting a force vector toward the distal opening and/or biased to overhang their line of attachment like a foreskin over a penis to allow the hemostatic guiding catheter to move a short distance while the biased balloons maintain hemostasis. | 11-19-2009 |
20120083808 | Suturing graft tubes to lumen walls percutaneously - A graft tube is percutaneously placed inside the lumen of a vessel and attached to the lumen wall by loops of suture material.

20100121258 | LATERAL INTRAVASCULAR EXCISION/INCISION DEVICES - Various cutting devices and systems are described that excise and/or incise tissue from a target site. For example, the wall of an artery and/or adventitial to the artery wall from inside the artery. According to embodiments of the invention, a lateral incision catheter device configured to be introduced intra-luminally to a pre-selected site in the body is provided, generally including a rotating first catheter, including a proximal end, a distal end and lumen positioned therebetween; a first shell to a first rotating catheter and having a cutting surface; a second shell attached to a second catheter, whereby rotation of the first rotating catheter causes the first shell to rotate with respect to the second shell so as to permit the cutting surface to cut tissue at the pre-selected site. According to embodiments of the invention, a lateral sliding incising/excising device configured to be introduced intra-luminally to a pre-selected site generally including a catheter, a lateral sliding cup including a cutting surface and at least one inflatable balloon attached to the outside of the cup and configured to push the cup laterally toward the target site. | 05-13-2010 |
20130178872 | Intravascular suturing device for simultaneously placing 3-7 sutures with ideal spacing to close large openings in vessels including calfified - Centerboard entering vessel opening spreads it to a slit. Needle pairs in slots across centerboard width are at about 2 mm intervals inside vessel. Pushing a wedge or bridge wire between pairs spreads needle noses about 1 mm on either side of free edge of slit. Suture loop ends are attached to each pair. An outboard has legs on either side of centerboard with a foot on each leg that stands on either side of slit outside vessel. Needle nose housings in each foot are directly opposite needle noses. Operator turning a screw pushes needle noses through vessel wall overcoming resistance in calcified vessels and housings hold needle noses by detents. Removing device from body brings suture ends outside with suture loops across slit in ideal 2×2 pattern. Alternative configurations provide means of joining and cutting suture ends, with preformed knots slid to opening or clamping ends together with a clip. | 07-11-2013 |

20120151199 | Secure Encrypted Boot With Simplified Firmware Update - An approach is provided in which a security module, such as a TPM, identifies a change to a boot configuration used in a secure boot operation. This identification results in a non-release of a secret value that is stored in a memory controlled by the security module. The non-release of the secret value is detected by a boot process when the boot process is initiating a session of the information handling system. In response to the detection by the boot process, the boot process retrieves an update encryption key and then decrypts an update copy of a disk encryption key stored on a nonvolatile storage area of the information handling system using the retrieved update encryption key. The nonvolatile storage area also includes a primary copy of the disk encryption key that has been encrypted with the secret value. | 06-14-2012 |

The delivery pacing solution need not be predefined or pre-configured for any customer or any particular job or job type and can be implemented in various ways, for instance, in a queue manager or a dynamic ticketing server. In some embodiments, an agent may obtain from a queue an item specifying a destination and determine whether the item has a concurrency parameter for a group associated with the destination. If so, the agent delivers the item to the destination. If not, the agent dynamically determines a concurrency parameter and returns the item to the queue with the concurrency parameter which controls a maximum number of items in the group that can be concurrently processed for delivery to the destination. A queue manager applies a concurrency rule to the item based on the concurrency parameter. | 01-22-2015 |
