| Assignee: | Boston Scientific Scimed (Maple Grove, MN) with total patents of: 6528 (since 2005) |
| Counsel: | Firm: Bookoff McAndrews, PLLC |
| 1st Invent: | Roger Noel Hastings (Naples, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=4 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A vapor delivery system and method is provided that includes a number of features. In one embodiment, a method comprises inserting a vapor delivery needle into tissue of a patient, activating a flow of vapor from a vapor generator through vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle to cause condensed liquid to exit vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle, generating vapor in the vapor generator, delivering a dose of vapor through the vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle into the tissue, and after the dose of vapor is delivered, re-activating the flow of vapor from the vapor generator through the vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle to prevent a vacuum from forming in the vapor delivery needle. Vapor therapy systems are also provided. |

| 1st Invent: | Gilbert LaCroix (Naples, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A modular croquet mallet system, referred to as SwingW{b}8{/b}, enables players to customize mallet weight and length to suit individual preferences and playing style. The system includes a mallet head with one or more modular enclosures (Pod Pockets) attachable to each end, each configured to hold one or more weight modules (W{b}8{/b}pods) of uniform outer size but variable internal mass for incremental swing weight adjustment. The Pod Pockets also define overall mallet length, allowing quick configuration to variable lengths, including but not limited to 10, 11, and 12 sizes. End Caps secure the Pod Pockets to the mallet head and provide finished striking faces. By selecting and combining W{b}8{/b}pods, a player can quickly fine-tune balance and performance while maintaining symmetry and structural integrity. This modular design permits reversible weight and length changes without permanent modification, supporting consistent pendulum-style swings as player skills or preferences evolve. |
