20150127015 | ENDOVASCULAR ANEURYSM DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS - Devices, systems, and methods for implanting prostheses in the body lumens rely on tacking or anchoring the prostheses with separately introduced fasteners. After initial placement, a fastener applier system is introduced within the expanded prostheses to deploy a plurality of fasteners to at least one prosthesis end. The fasteners are usually helical fasteners which are releasably restrained on the fastener driver, and are delivered by rotation of the fastener driver. The fasteners may be applied singly, typically in circumferentially spaced-apart patterns about the interior of at least one end of the prosthesis. A lumen extension or lumens may be coupled to the prosthesis to extend the reach of the prosthesis within the implantation site. Fasteners may also be applied to the lumen extensions. | 05-07-2015 |
20150142016 | MULTI-FIRE FASTENER DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A prosthesis fastener applier includes a handle, a plurality of input controls, and a fastener delivery shaft. The handle contains a motor and a control circuit. The input controls are connected to the handle and communicatively connected to the control circuit. The fastener delivery shaft includes a fastener cartridge and a driver shaft. The fastener cartridge includes a plurality of internal threads configured to receive a plurality of helical fasteners in stacked relationship. The driver shaft is operatively connected to the motor, disposed within the fastener cartridge, and configured to pass through respective inner diameters of the helical fasteners. The control circuit is configured to control the motor in response to signals from one or more of the input controls to rotate the driver shaft to cause one or more of the helical fasteners to be advanced axially relative to the fastener cartridge. | 05-21-2015 |

20090271242 | Calendar-driven Business Intelligence - Techniques for aiding individuals in managing work activities. In one set of embodiments, information about work activities for an individual is received from a plurality of different business applications. The work activities relate to business transactions facilitated by the plurality of different business applications. Calendar entries are then generated for each work activity based on the received information, and presented in a calendar of the individual. In various embodiments, the calendar entries are generated automatically (i.e., without human intervention). By focusing on the time sequence in which work activities should be addressed, embodiments of the present invention enable individuals to quickly and efficiently prioritize and carry out their pending work activities, thereby improving the operational efficiency of an enterprise. | 10-29-2009 |
20100299174 | RULES DRIVEN FILTERING OF SERVICE REQUESTS FOR SHARED PROCUREMENT SERVICES - Techniques for supporting shared procurement services in an enterprise application. According to one set of embodiments, associations between procurement service providers and procurement clients are stored, where the associations represent outsourcing relationships between these entities in the operational structure of an enterprise. The associations are then used by the application to facilitate the management of procurement-related content and the processing of procurement transactions. In one embodiment, the associations enable procurement-related content to be created/managed centrally by a procurement service provider and then made accessible to procurement clients serviced by the procurement service provider. In another embodiment, a rules-driven mechanism is provided for routing procurement requisitions from procurement clients to associated procurement service providers for processing. | 11-25-2010 |
