Abstract: Systems for controlling obesity utilize a number of space occupiers positioned in the stomach to reduce the effective volume of the stomach. Such arrangements provides sufficient stomach volume consumption to induce weight loss, but enable use of space occupiers that are proportioned to minimize the threat of obstruction even if they should migrate into the intestine. In general, numerous small volume space occupiers are placed in the stomach such that the total volume equals or exceeds the single volume of prior art single unit space occupiers. However, each individual space occupier is proportioned so that it will pass without obstruction if it moves into the intestine.

Abstract translation: 用于控制肥胖的系统利用位于胃中的多个空间占用者来减少胃的有效体积。 这种布置提供足够的胃体积消耗以引起体重减轻，但是能够使用成比例的空间占用者，以尽量减少阻塞的威胁，即使它们应该迁移到肠中。 通常，许多小容量空间占用者被放置在胃中，使得总体积等于或超过现有技术的单个单位空间占用者的单个体积。 然而，每个单独的空间占有者是成比例的，以便如果它进入肠道，它将不会阻塞。

Abstract: Described herein are endoscopic staplers and methods used to apply one or more fasteners to body tissue. In one embodiment, a fastener-applying device, which is preferably a stapler, is passed transorally into the stomach to plicate stomach tissue by engaging tissue from inside the stomach and drawing it inwardly. In the disclosed embodiments, the tissue is drawn into a tissue chamber, causing sections of serosal tissue to be positioned facing one another. The disclosed staplers allow opposed sections of tissue to be moved into contact with another, and preferably deliver staples for maintaining contact between tissue sections at least until serosal bonds form. Each of these steps may be performed wholly from the inside of the stomach and thus can eliminate the need for any surgical or laparoscopic intervention, After one or more plications are formed, medical devices may optionally be coupled to the plication(s) for retention within the stomach.

Abstract: Described herein are endoscopic staplers used to apply one or more fasteners to body tissue. In one embodiment, a fastener-applying device, which is preferably a stapler, is passed transorally into the stomach and used to plicate stomach tissue by engaging tissue from inside of the stomach and drawing it inwardly. In the disclosed embodiments, the tissue is drawn inwardly into a vacuum chamber, causing sections of serosal tissue on the exterior of the stomach to be positioned facing one another. The disclosed staplers allow the opposed sections of tissue to be moved into contact with one another, and preferably deliver staples for maintaining contact between the tissue sections at least until serosal bonds form between them. Each of these steps may be performed wholly from the inside of the stomach and thus can eliminate the need for any surgical or laparoscopic intervention. After one or more plications are formed, medical devices may optionally be coupled to the plication(s) for retention within the stomach.

Abstract: Anastomotic components may be attached to hollow bodies or vessels by magnetic or mechanical force to create an anastomosis, form a port in a vessel, or repair a diseased vessel lumen. Anastomoses are created by coupling a first connection to an end of a vessel and then attracting it to a second connector secured to the side wall of another vessel. The connection between the first and second connectors may be solidly magnetic, solely mechanical, or a combination thereof. Also disclosed are methods and devices for treating diseased vessel lumens, for example abdominal aortic aneurysm. A plurality of docking members is attached to the vessel at solicited positions, and then one or more grafts is secured to the docking members in any suitable manner.

Abstract: A handheld computing device is utilized to control operations of an analysis system. The analysis system is communicatively coupled to a plurality of handheld computing devices. An authorized user may logon to a handheld computing device and control the operations of the analysis system. Once logged on, the authorized user may perform functions, enter data, or the like on the handheld computing device and transfer the information to the analysis system. In an embodiment, the handheld computing device is a calculator. The personal computer may be coupled to a projector such that a group of students may view the emulator.

Abstract: Conventionally, media manipulation tools, such as tools for editing video, are an integral part of a video editing application. But with the present invention, these tools can be shared by any application that can generate a video window in which video can be played back Hence, a conventional media player can now include video editing etc. functionality. Even more power-fully, any other application that can generate a video window, such as a presentation program, can now also be extended to include media manipulation tools.
