| 1st Invent: | Reinhard J. Warnking (Westlake, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Apparatus and methods for deactivating bronchial nerves extending along the secondary bronchial branches of a mammalian subject to treat asthma and related conditions. An ultrasonic transducer ({b}11{/b}) is inserted into the bronchus as, for example, by advancing the distal end of a catheter ({b}10{/b}) bearing the transducer into the secondary bronchial section to be treated. The ultrasonic transducer emits circumferential ultrasound so as to heat tissues throughout circular impact volume ({b}13{/b}) as, for example, at least about 1 cm{superscript}3 {/superscript}encompassing the bronchus to a temperature sufficient to inactivate nerve conduction but insufficient to cause rapid ablation or necrosis of the tissues. The treatment can be performed without locating or focusing on individual bronchial nerves. The apparatus and methods utilized for lung tumor ablation. |

| Counsel: | Firm: Hahn Loeser Parks LLP |
| 1st Invent: | Jeffrey Donald Poirier (Cape Coral, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A multi-path cleaning system is provided for a fuel tank. The multi-path cleaning system includes a controller, a fuel polisher, and a plurality of controllable valves. The plurality of controllable valves are operatively connected to the controller, and each valve fluidly coupled to at least one of the inlet and outlet of the fuel polisher on a first side and the interior of the fuel tank on a second other side. The pump, when operated, causes fuel to be drawn through the inlet and discharged at the outlet of the fuel polisher, and to pass through at least one filter/water separator. Selective operation of the plurality of valves by the controller selectively fluidly couples portions of the interior of the fuel tank to the inlet and the outlet of the fuel polisher, thereby creating a plurality of fluid flow paths through the interior of the fuel tank. |

| 1st Invent: | Kentigern Kyle (Naples, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: No name resolution. |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A shoe device having bimodal structures, configured to selectively snap the device to at least one of a second position and a first position, which selectively snaps the shoe into a first position upon being subjected to a first bending force, apt for placement or removal of a foot, and selectively snaps the shoe into a second position upon being subjected to a second bending force, apt for securement of a foot or having no foot. A forward leaning, flexible stadium arch structure, assembled to form a heel notch mechanism, connects to a sole. A morphing shoe collar portion connects to a heel. These are combined via vector changing devices for greater functionality. |

| Assignee: | Tropicana Products (Bradenton, FL) with total patents of: 112 (since 2005) |
| Counsel: | Firm: Barnes Thornburg LLP |
| 1st Invent: | Jeffrey D. Mathews (Naperville, IL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A method of minimizing material mixing in a piping system during a transition between a first material and a second material includes providing a plurality of pipe pigs in a first pipe section with the plurality of pipe pigs being sufficient to substantially fill a cross-section of the first pipe section and to define a plug having a leading edge and a trailing edge such that the leading edge is in contact with a first material and the trailing edge is in contact with a second material. Each pipe pig has a nominal size that is smaller than an effective diameter of the first pipe section. The plug is moved through the piping system by moving the second material. Advantageously, mixing of the first material and the second material is inhibited by the plug. |

| Counsel: | Firm: Bond, Schoeneck King, PLLC |
| 1st Invent: | Grady Breslich (Bradenton, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | An anchor construct having an anchor having a length of suture material passing therethrough, the suture material having a loop strand terminating at a first end and a post strand terminating at a second end, a splice loop formed by first end, a sliding construct formed by the first end and the second end, wherein the sliding construct is configured to adjust the relative position of the splice loop and the anchor. The anchor construct can be deployed by passing the first end through a first body and through the splice, creating a locking loop of a first size around the first body, implanting the anchor into a bone hole, pulling the post strand to decrease the perimeter of the positioning loop to a second size smaller than the first size, and pulling the loop strand to decrease the perimeter of the locking loop to a smaller second size. |
