Title: Dispensing device and method for delivering filamentary material into a patient
Inventor: AIDAN FUREY
IPC: A61M31/00
Filed: 2014-06-05
Abstract: Various dispensing mechanisms for dispensing filamentary material 650 through a catheter into a treatment site of a patient, for example into an aneurysm sack in a patient's vessel comprise a carrier 600, which may be conical or at least partly cylindrical, having an elongate body or shaft 620 around which is wound filamentary material 650 from its distal end 640 to its proximal end 630. A conical layer of material 650 may be created by winding turns of material 650 in increments from the distal end 640 towards the proximal end 630 of the shaft 620, the material feed 670 moving gradually towards the proximal end 630 in stages while reciprocating backwards and forwards by a given distance, so as to create a series of overlapping conical layers of material 650. When the material 650 is made to unwind from the carrier 600 it will do so one conical section at a time, to prevent turns of thread uncoupling prematurely from the shaft 620.

Title: Method for reducing data transfer from a server to a portable device
Inventor: RAJA TULI
IPC: G06F40/143
Filed: 2017-11-29
Abstract: The invention discloses a method for accessing and viewing Internet content on a portable device by means of a proxy server, which method reduces the amount of data transferred to the device and improves its performance. Based on the content of each part of a web page, the server calculates, assigns and saves unique identifiers for each of them. If the web page is revisited or refreshed, unique identifiers are calculated and assigned for parts of this revisited or refreshed page. Parts that have the same identifier as a part previously saved are not transferred as the part with the same identifier in a memory of the device is instead used for display. Various processes can be combined with this method to reduce the number of instances by which the display of the device is refreshed and to optimally adapt the settings of the server's browser.

Title: Valve assembly
Inventor: RUPERT WILKINSON
IPC: F16K31/44
Filed: 2020-02-17
Abstract: A valve assembly includes a valve arranged to move between an open position and a closed position by rotating an operating member 22 of the valve about an axis. An actuation unit 16 comprises a torsion spring 34, a trigger member 20, and a driving member 36. The driving member 36 engages with the operating member of the valve to drive rotation of the operating member 22. The torsion spring 34 applies a first torque to the driving member around the axis in a first rotational direction. An external second torque applied opposite to the first torque resets the valve to the open position in which the driving member 36 is held by a latching mechanism. The latching mechanism is arranged to hold the driving member only when the valve is in the open position. An external force applied to the trigger member 20 releases the driving member 36 from the latching mechanism, the first torque thereby rotating the driving member 36 to mechanically bias the valve to the closed position.
