Software Patent Drafting Lessons from the Key Lighthouse Cases
January 9, 2019, 12:15 PM 3
"Obtaining a U.S. software patent is easier today than it was just a year ago, but still harder than it was five or ten years ago. These seven 'lighthouse' cases contain critical lessons for drafters that can improve the chances of success."
Obtaining a software patent today is easier than it was just a year ago in most Art Units at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), thanks to the Federal Circuit's decision in Berkheimer v. HP Inc., 881 F.3d 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2018) and the USPTO's guidance to patent examiners on the Berkheimer decision. Still, obtaining a software patent is more difficult than it was five years ago, and much more difficult than it was ten years ago. The patent laws relating to software have been in a state of near constant flux over the last decade.
In order to have the best chance at obtaining a software patent, and at having that patent survive any post grant challenges after it is issued, it is critically important that the description of the invention be as complete as possible at the time of filing the first patent application. This means the description must clearly identify the invention as of day one, even if you file a provisional patent application, since a provisional patent application must completely articulate the invention with enough detail to satisfy 35 U.S.C. 112 in order to provide priority.
This is easy enough to say, but what does it really mean? Over the last several years we have learned from a variety of cases what type of information the Federal Circuit will look to in order to be persuaded that the claimed invention is truly innovative and is either not an abstract idea, or—if it is an abstract idea at its core—has enough accoutrements surrounding it so that it does, in fact, define an invention.
The Software Patent Lighthouse Cases
In order to adequately identify and describe a software-related invention (also known as a computer-implemented invention) consider the lessons from the following cases. These are the cases you want the Federal Circuit to apply and analogize to your claimed invention because, when they do, the claims are patent eligible. This makes these cases "lighthouse" cases with critical lessons for drafters.
The key to obtaining a software patent is to thoroughly describe the system and processes from a technological level. As Judge Chen explained in DDR Holdings, in order for software patent claims to be patent eligible they must not "merely recite the performance of some business practice known from the pre-Internet world along with the requirement to perform it on the Internet." To be patent eligible, claims to software must be "rooted in computer technology in order to overcome a problem specifically arising in the realm of computer networks." To have a realistic chance of being patented, the computer method must be tied to a particular computer technology in a meaningful and substantial way. Said another way, the method really needs to be performed by and through a concrete and tangible system, where the system and processes are painstakingly described.
In Enfish LLC v. Microsoft Corp., 822 F.3d 1327 (Fed. Cir. 2016), the Federal Circuit explained that the Supreme Court suggested in Alice that claims that improve the functioning of a computer might not succumb to the abstract idea exception. The Federal Circuit relied on this important caveat because, according to the panel, the claims at issue in Enfish plainly focused on improvements to computer functionality. This led the panel to unanimously conclude that "the claims at issue in this appeal are not directed to an abstract idea within the meaning of Alice. Rather, they are directed to a specific improvement to the way computers operate, embodied in the self-referential table." Therefore, it is extremely important to describe the invention as an improvement, with at least some time in the specification spent explaining exactly what the invention provides that is superior compared with the prior art (obviously being careful not to run afoul of KSR concerns).
Computer-implemented methods are driven by rules engines that define the who, what, where, when, why and how. These rules engines are of critical importance, both to the programmer and the patent draftsperson. The presence of rules, specifically defined in the specification, and then incorporated into the claims, was what the Federal Circuit relied upon to find the lip synchronization invention patent eligible in McRo v. Bandai Namco Games Am., 837 F.3d 1299 (Fed. Cir. 2016). When addressing the specific limitations of the rules, the Federal Circuit in McRodid not cite to Enfish, but did observe: "The specific, claimed features of these rules allow for the improvement realized by the invention." Judge Reyna further wrote: "As the specification confirms, the claimed improvement here is allowing computers to produce 'accurate and realistic lip synchronization and facial expressions in animated characters' that previously could only be produced by human animators."
In Thales Visionix Inc. v. U.S., 850 F.3d 1343 (Fed. Cir. 2017), the Federal Circuit was faced with an invention relating to an inertial tracking system for tracking the motion of an object relative to a moving reference frame. The claims provide a method that eliminates many "complications" inherent in previous solutions for determining position and orientation of an object on a moving platform, with multiple advantages disclosed over the prior art in the specification. The panel found the "claims directed to a new and useful technique for using sensors to more efficiently track an object on a moving platform." While this is certainly the type of invention that can be patented, the claims were a bit weaker than ideal. With a different panel, it would be easy to see this case going another way. What likely saved the claims was the specification explaining that the inertial sensors do not use a conventional approach with respect to measuring inertial changes relative to the earth, which allowed the panel to follow Enfish. Still, it would have been preferable to draft the claims to incorporate that core uniqueness in the claims.
Can you read into the specification from the claims? Absolutely! The law says you cannot impermissibly read into the claims from the specification, so there must be a time and place when it is permissible. It is permissible with respect to definitions and disclosure of technologies. The whole point of the specification is to be the glossary for the claims and to facilitate in understanding what is in the claims. There is no better example of this than Finjan, Inc. v. Blue Coat Systems, 879 F.3d 1299 (Fed. Cir. 2018). At first glance, the claims are very short—even cryptic. But there are terms repeatedly used throughout the claims that are discussed and defined in the specification. And the specification defines a revolutionary computer virus scanning technology that was pioneered by Finjan. Judge Dyk, writing for the panel, explained the "method of claim 1 employs a new kind of file that enables a computer security system to do things it could not do before." This is significant because Judge Dyk, until recently, has seemed reluctant to find software patent eligible. So, the lesson here is simple: If your client is a pioneer and the innovation is important, make sure the specification explains that! Of course, don't just say it; really explain the difference a la Enfish.
Graphical user interfaces can receive design patents, but they can also receive utility patents. See Core Wireless Licensing S.A.R.L. v. LG Electronics, 880 F.3d. 1356 (2018). The claims disclosed a specific manner of displaying a limited set of information to the user, rather than using conventional user interface methods to display a generic index on a computer. Like the improved systems claimed in Enfish, Thales, Visual Memory, and Finjan, these claims recite a specific improvement over prior systems. Judge Moore explained the speed of a user's navigation through various views and windows can be improved because it "saves the user from navigating to the required application, opening it up, and then navigating within that application to enable the data of interest to be seen or a function of interest to be activated." Of course, to matter, the specification needed to adequately define the improvement in the aforementioned functioning of computers.
If the importance of a thorough description defining the core uniqueness of the innovation in the specification hasn't shone through yet, the Federal Circuit's recent decision in Ancora Technologies, Inc. v. HTC America, Inc. (Fed. Cir. 2018) should help cut through the fog. Relying on Enfish, Judge Taranto, joined by Judges Dyk and Wallach, found that the claims at issue covered "a concrete assignment of specified functions among a computer's components to improve computer security." The patent itself explained the claimed invention did this by relying on specific and unique characteristics not previously used in the way now claimed. Judge Taranto explained that the Court lacked any basis for disputing what was said in the patent itself, and what was said is reinforced by the prosecution history, including the examiner's stated reasons for allowance. Thus, the take-away lesson here is again the importance of describing the technology fully and clearly, including asserting its uniqueness, while obviously paying careful attention to not walk into obviousness rejections.

Zoobab:
Of course those cases are Alice compliant. Concrete steps that solve a real problem beyond the reach of professionals or experts were not prohibited in Alice or even EPG. It is illogical to even suggest that solving real problems would ever be patent ineligible, that is the nature of innovation and its incentive to invent (patents)
It is the patent examiners that are not Alice compliant or even innovation compliant. For example:
My process was rooted in computer technology, that is where the problem exists (McRO). My process was not even accomplished by humans (EVER). In McRO lip sync was accomplished by human but not computers and received a patent when performed by computers. Yet I put my process was "never" achieved by experts and professionals, I put the process on a computer and it is rejected? Illogical. That is where the problem existed, in their computer network.
My process improved their computer network, it stops the mistakes. Their administrative network or computer network could not stop the oversights when done manually for decades or by computer for decades. Again my solution was rejected.
In DDR Holdings, in order for software patent claims to be patent eligible they must not "merely recite the performance of some business practice known from the pre-Internet world along with the requirement to perform it on the Internet." My process was never done on the face of the Earth, pre-internet or post internet. Rejected again.
Having a patent examiner that follows their own memos, their own MPEP, the actual law, what these lighthouse court cases really say, and the hard evidence would be a plus for me.
I am holding my breathe whether the examiners will follow the new 101 guidelines of "practical application", another way of saying concrete steps that solve a real problem beyond the reach of experts and professionals are patent eligible. It may be just another dis-regarded "official" memo.
zoobab,
Alice is not Congress-written statutory law compliant.

Those CAFC decisions are not Alice compliant.

Imagine there are several Los Angeles County cities that make up one of the densest urban areas in the country, where much of the young, transit-dependent, ethnically mixed population commutes daily to jobs in other parts of the county. This would be one of the first areas to get a new rail line to the regionwide transit hub at L.A. Union Station, right?
Not if it's the board of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority calling the shots.
This sums up the situation for residents of the Gateway Cities of southeast L.A. County, a collection of dense (my city, Huntington Park, has about 60,000 people packed into three square miles), mostly working-class communities conspicuously absent from Metro's plans to build out its rail system over the coming decades. In fact, Metro's board recently delayed its projected completion date of the long-sought Eco-Rapid light-rail line 20 years to 2047. This line would span from Artesia to Bob Hope Airport and connect the points in between to L.A. Union Station; by one estimate, Eco Rapid would be the second-most-traveled line in Metro's network.
Meanwhile, Metro is spending billions of dollars chasing so-called choice riders in West L.A. and the San Gabriel Valley, opening the Expo Line to Santa Monica, the Gold Line to Azusa and slowly (and expensively) tunneling under Wilshire Boulevard to extend the Purple Line subway. Although it's important to entice more drivers out their cars and into trains or buses, these areas can't be described as economically transit dependent -- and they're getting rail decades before communities that are, including Huntington Park, Cudahy, Bell, Bell Gardens and other cities.
This is why those of us pushing to restructure Metro's leadership believe that the agency's governing board needs to be balanced with more voices.
In their June 1 op-ed article, Zev Yaroslavsky and Richard Katz accuse state Sen. Tony Mendoza (D-Artesia), who has written a bill to expand Metro's board, as "meddling" in the agency, which they describe as "on a roll." Those of us who live in the ill-served Gateway Cities don't feel Metro is on much of a roll; Yaroslavsky's and Katz's insistence otherwise shows just how important it is for the agency's board to gain new perspectives.
The Metro board currently has 13 voting members. Five are L.A. County supervisors and four are members of the Los Angeles City Council. The remaining four voting members directly represent the residents of the 87 cities in Los Angeles County that account for 51% of the population. This imbalance is reflected in Metro's decision-making and priority-setting, such as its two-decade delay of the Eco-Rapid line. Mendoza's bill (SB 1472) would, among other things, add five more members to the Metro board from those 87 cities. This is not a local issue, and it's certainly not a power play, but rather an update to the original state legislation that created Metro in 1992 that will provide better representation for those who live in smaller, under-served cities.
For residents of the Gateway Cities, representation on Metro's board and better transit service is about more than just fairness and social and environmental justice; it matters to our everyday lives. As a young woman growing up in Huntington Park, I thought of owning a vehicle as a luxury; this is still the case for many families in the Gateway Cities. I didn't own my first car until I graduated from college in 2010, so bus and rail were the only transportation options available to me throughout my middle school, high school and college days. Yes, Los Angeles County has "progressed a long way toward developing a regional transit system," as Yaroslavsky and Katz believe. However, that progress is still an elusive concept in my community.
The lack of progress isn't for a lack of effort on the part of the communities in southeast L.A. County and elsewhere. These communities have worked tirelessly to make projects such as Eco-Rapid a reality, and yet they barely register on Metro's radar. Sen. Mendoza's bill to bring more voices onto Metro's board will go a long way toward changing that and bringing rail transit to the residents of Los Angeles County who need it most.
Karina Macias is a Huntington Park City Council member and a member of the Eco-Rapid Transit board, a joint-powers authority consisting of 12 cities and one airport agency.

L.A. needs a great public transit system. Is a permanent sales tax the best way to do it?

Q: How to clone a local repository to Github (with permission denied error) I have a file of code stored locally that was sent to me by someone I hired to write code. The folder already has a .git folder inside of it. I want to clone the contents of the folder to my own github repository. When I run git clone I get the following error:
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
How do I get around this? I have all the code on my desktop already so is there a way to get around this and create a repository from the folder's contents?

A: It sounds like you want to push and not clone. Once you create a new repository on GitHub, you can run this command from the local repository with the existing .git file to create a link from the local repo to the upstream repo:
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/yourreponame
Then run this command to push the contents of your local repo to your upstream repo:
git push origin main (where "main" is the name of the branch you want to push up; if you're not sure of the name of the branch, just run git branch and use the name with an asterisk next to it.)
If you get an error from the first command that "origin" already exists, this just means that there's already a link called "origin" between your local repo and another upstream repo. In that case, just replace the word "origin" with a different name in both commands, like "upstream".

NYU-Poly Competes in US Department of Energy's Biennial Solar Decathlon
August 2013 will see participants in the US Department of Energy's biennial Solar Decathlon, a program that challenges college students around the world to design, build and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, attractive and energy efficient.
The competition aims to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration between institutions and facilitate innovation in energy efficient design and solar power. The resulting homes, built solely by students, will demonstrate that solar-powered houses can be fully functional, comfortable and sustainable living spaces. During the competition, homes are judged by their ability to conserve resources, control the physical environment and be fully energy efficient, running only on solar energy.
Polytechnic University of New York University (NYU-Poly) students were awarded a grant by the USDOE to participate in partnership with Ghent University in Belgium and with Worcester Polytechnic Institute, MA, in a joint effort to design and construct an energy-efficient house. Each school has been assigned specific responsibilities. NYU-Poly has been charged with the structural design of the home and the effective use of building materials to increase its energy efficiency. The students from Ghent are in charge of the architectural design and detailing; the WPI students are in charge of heating ventilation and cooling, including photovoltaic power generation. Students from the three universities work closely together and with industry partners in the U.S.
"The idea of working on a house that's kind of futuristic and [uses] zero energy really appealed to me," said NYU-Poly team member Javed Narain.
Masoud Ghandehari, associate professor in the department of Civil and Urban Engineering at NYU-Poly, is one of the faculty advisors. "Although the competition will take place in August, not demanding too much heating power, the home is designed for the northeast U.S.," he said. "Meanwhile the idea is for the students to sell this house at the end and recoup all the investment that's been pumped into it." Ghandehari adds, "helping students from three different universities to work on a common goal is also great education."
Engineering for Success
Building codes dictate very specific details in their comfort criteria, even relative humidity. To meet these codes, the team will employ cutting-edge science to solve certain problems. One such innovative approach involves using phase change materials as an additive to concrete; these materials absorb heat and later release it when the temperature drops below a certain point.
"It's like a thermostat," Ghandehari explained.
Dubbed "Solatrium" by the Belgium, Massachusetts and New York partners, Team BEMANY's design incorporates passive design in lieu of an active integration home energy system. The materials being used in the floor tiles, walls, countertops and other areas will allow the house to use less energy throughout its heating and cooling cycles.
Photovoltaic panels mounted on the roof will provide energy for heating, cooling, standard appliances, light fixtures and wall outlets. Architecturally, the design is a mix of an Asian style country home with a central atrium indoor garden that will provide its occupants with the sensation of coexisting with nature, providing natural light to the center of the square building.
The 2013 competition will take place in China's Datong Xian province. China joined the Decathlon as part of an agreement in early 2011 between the US Department of Energy and China's National Energy Administration. As a result of this agreement, SD2013 will be organized and hosted jointly by members of China's academic sector, government and industry.
The team will visit China twice in the upcoming months, once to tour the build site and another for the actual competition next August, where students will have 40 days to build and show their homes. It's an exciting prospect for team members. As Narain puts it, "working in China is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Additional NYU-Poly student participants include Enrico Tomassoli from university of Perugia, Italy, here as a research associate; Engui Liu, a PhD student; Jingyi Tang, an Undergraduate student from China on a dual degree program; Evan Wilke undergraduate student and NYU-Poly team leader; and Weihua Jin, industry professor in the department of Civil and Urban Engineering. The team has been diligently planning the necessary steps for a submittal schedule as requested by the competition operators.
A small group from the team representing all three schools visited Datong, China, last Memorial Day weekend to survey the building site and discuss competition logistics with their hosts. During their stay, the mayor of Datong, a city of over 10 million people, arranged a private showing of a traditional Chinese opera for the attending competitors from all 23 participating teams.
"When we were there, they actually stopped traffic for us when we were going from point A to point B on various occasions," said Evan Wilke. "The entire city, like 10 million people… just stopped traffic! They had police officers at every single intersection and we just went. Pretty incredible."
The NYU Tandon community mourns the passing on January 1, 2022 of Herb Fox.

Living on a budget doesn't mean you can't experience the joys of pet ownership. It's great to have an inexpensive pet when you have young children so that they can practice responsibility and learn how to take care of bigger, more complex animals when they get older. If a pony, purebred dog or exotic bird is out of the question, you still have many options for inexpensive pets.
Shelter animals are often abandoned by owners who found themselves suddenly unable to care for them. Cats and dogs of all types get dropped off at these places. For a small adoption fee, you can bring home a kitten, puppy or mature dog or cat that won't need expensive food other than a well-balanced kibble and plenty of fresh water. Just be sure to spend some time with the animal before bringing it home, because some rescue pets may be too neurotic or high-strung for young kids. Most rescue facilities will have more information on each animal (including whether or not the pet is "kid-friendly").
Lizards can be great pets if you know which one to pick. They're low maintenance after the initial investment of buying things for their terrarium habitat. All you have to do is keep the temperature within a hospitable range, clean its terrarium regularly and read up on what they like to eat. Many lizards can get by on insects you can catch in your garden or buy at the pet store. Whatever lizard you choose to buy, be sure you know how large they get and how long they live before you buy!
Goldfish are easy to care for and cost only a few dollars! All you need is a bowl with clean water, a goldfish and a little canister of fish food. A pinch a day is all they need, though you can supplement with a cricket or two from your yard. Just be sure not to clean the bowl with detergent or fill it with chlorinated water, as that may poison these pretty swimmers. Goldfish generally grow slowly, and usually won't live long enough to become a full-grown carp.
There are many other types of inexpensive pets, but these four are a great start when you and your kids want to enjoy owning a pet but don't have a lot to spend. Read up more to find out which one is right for you, such as by taking into consideration the online opinion of people in a similar situation that you are in. Whenever you decide to own an animal, remember that you're not really its owner—you're its guardian. Whether it's a cat, a rat, or a larger animal, every species has different needs and it's up to you to provide for them and see them safely through life. The rewards you'll get from their interesting behavior and affection far outweigh the expense!

Justia Patents US Patent for Balloon-catheter Patent (Patent # 4,456,011)
Balloon-catheter
A catheter for intravascular occlusion of vascular connections and other defects provided with a tubular element and carrying at its very end a position-balloon behind which is provided the occlusion-balloon; the latter is detachable from the catheter and the position-balloon is either attached to the catheter or to the occlusion balloon to be detached therewith.
This invention relates to balloon-catheters and, in particular, to such occlusion-catheters for use in blood vessels and in the heart as therapeutic tools, according to the preamble of claim 1. A catheter of this type has been described in the German DE-OS (laid open print) No. 2817 972.
It is already known in the art that large vessels such as the inferior vena cava (Hunter, J. A. et al.: Annals of Surgery, Vol. 171, Nr. 2, page 315, 1970) and also small vessels as in the brain (Serbinenko, F. A.: J. Neurosurg., Vol. 41, page 125, 1974) can be occluded by a catheter device specified by a detachable balloon at the tip of the catheter to be filled with fluid or hardening material.
The structure of the catheter that can be used in this way has been disclosed, e.g., in the FR-A No. 23 83 673.
Also a large vascular connection, for instance between the aorta and the pulmonary artery, such as the persistent ductus arteriosus, can be occluded by means of a different catheter device used by W. Porstmann et al. (Thoraxchirurgie, Vol. 15, page 199, 1967), wherein a plug made of foamed material could be grafted with the aid of an aortic-venous guide wire. This method, however, is technically complicated, time and radiation consuming and risky to the patient because of potential damages to the arteries used and potential thrombosis. Furthermore a dislodgement of the foamed plug occurs due to a lack in exact positioning and inadequate matching with respect to the vascular connection to be occluded.
On the other hand, catheters with umbrella-type occluding members are already known in the art (FR-A No. 23 28 483, GB-PS No. 15 09 023) and have been used for the same purpose. As they are rigid, it seems hazarduous to push them is necessary in cardiac catherization. The main disadvantage of this device is due to the fact that the umbrella will be attached with grappling hooks in the tissue causing damage to it.
All these procedures and/or catheter devices are actually not being used as a matter of routine on account of the mentioned drawbacks.
Especially in the first-mentioned type of catheter which is provided with a detachable balloon, it will be readily observed that we are practically faced with almost impossible to resolve position problems as to place the balloon in the vascular connection to be occluded.
For this reason it is the object of this invention to provide for a catheter, and particularly a cardiac catheter with which vascular connections can be occluded by means of an occluding body or member, that can be precisely positioned. The catheter may be constructed such that it can be introduced from a peripheral vessel, preferably a vein, and that it allows within a broad range an adaptation or matching to the defect to be occluded.
This aim is achieved in accordance with the invention by way of the features disclosed in the claims.
The advantages achieved in the application of this invention are comprised in particular in that it is possible with a catheter of this invention to precisely place a detachable occlusion member in the vascular connection or in cardiac septum defects by means of the distal position-balloon.
The occlusion member or plug is to be made to adjust to the shape and size of the vascular connection to be occluded or to the cardiac septum defect to be closed. Moreover, it is possible for the occlusion member to be manufactured of a material and to be structured with a surface such that said member is not only biocompatible but will also be enclosed and shortly fixed by new growth of endogenic fibrous tissue. As a consequence a late reopening of the connection due to phagocytosis of the material is excluded. The occlusion member is mounted on the catheter in such a manner that it will adhere initially, whereas it can be detached at a predetermined point in time. The release from the catheter may be carried out without tension or pulling on the occlusion plug by using an outer cannula as a sheath. The injection of the filling material for the occlusion member is effected simultaneously with de-airing. Furthermore, it is possible to measure the inflation or filling pressures and to recognize an adequate filling of the occlusion balloon also by radiologic means using radiopaque filling substances. The filling substances may be suctioned off the balloon at a predetermined temporal interval before setting or curing takes place, and the catheter with evacuated occlusion-balloon may be removed from the body if so required. Additional passages or channels in the plurilumina catheter may be significant for diagnostic purposes as measuring oxygen and blood pressures.
Summarily, the catheter described is distinctive in that it can be used like a diagnostic cardiac catheter in the vascular system and in the heart. It may be of such minute size that it can be applied not only in adults but also in children and babies. Particularly it permits the occlusion of one of the most frequent lesions in congenital heart disease, the persistent ductus arteriosus, by approach via a vein whereby a damage of a peripheral artery is prevented.
An embodiment according to the invention provides for the position-balloon to be also detachable from the catheter. This embodiment is distinctive and characterized by a simpler method of manufacture, which also facilitates the release and detachment of the catheter, as the position-balloon is not withdrawn through the occlusion-balloon. Both balloons or balloon-sections are detachable from the catheter. The position-balloon is constructed such way that when it remains in the body it is not adversely affecting the blood stream, or the position-balloon will be withdrawn from the tip of the catheter into the opening of the occlusion-balloon and there detaches itself.
The foregoing objects and advantages of the invention will become more apparent as the following detailed description is read in conjunction with the accompanying schematic drawings, which respectively are longitudinal sections of two embodiments of this invention.
FIG. 1 shows a balloon catheter partially in section in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a similar view of a modified construction for a balloon catheter.
Referring to the drawing in FIG. 1 shown therein and generally designated by the reference character 1 is a catheter that comprises three passages 1a-c. At the distal end thereof the so-called position-balloon 3 is fixedly attached to the catheter. This position-balloon can be expanded via an opening 4 communicating with passage 1 c. At a predetermined distance from this position-balloon 3-- which distance is among others a function of the type of connection to be occluded-- a second balloon, the so called occlusion-balloon 5 is mounted. The occlusion-balloon 5 is releasably attached to the catheter such as e.g. by applying an adhesive which will dissolve chemically or in a thermic reaction which requires a certain period of time or, as in the example illustrated, by means of an elastic tube 6. Such a piece of tubing made of silicone-rubber may readily be connected during manufacture to the catheter before mounting the occlusion-balloon 5. This has the advantage that under the prevailing pressure conditions a tight seal is assured over the length of the occlusion-balloon 5. It is likewise possible to use elastic rings as seal. The occlusion-balloon 5 can be evacuated through an opening 7 in the passage 1 b of the catheter. Expanding and/or filling Of the occlusion-balloon 5 with liquid silicone-rubber is effected via passage 1 a and opening 8. Shown in the drawing are also the opening- and closing-cocks 9 a-c for the passages 1 a-c, respectively. The functions of the catheter and its mode of operation, and in particular the operation of the sheath 2, being displaceable on the catheter will be explained hereinafter.
The catheter described is introduced through the leg vein and pushed via the inferior vena cava to the right heart and from the pulmory artery through the persistent ductus arteriosus to the aorta, like routinely done in diagnostic heart catherization for this lesion. The position-balloon 3 is now filled with gas or dye via passage 1 c, the catheter is withdrawn until the position-balloon 3 stops at the insertion of the persistent ductus arteriosus. In that position the occlusion-balloon 5 is determined to lie in the vascular connection to be occluded. Subsequently, the occlusion-balloon 5 will be filled with liquid radiopaque silicone-rubber via passage 1 a, which passage is at the same time de-aired via passage 1 b. Hereafter the position-balloon 3 is deflated via passage 1 c. After the silicone-rubber within the occlusion-balloon 5 has hardened the sheath 2 is advanced on the catheter up to the occlusion plug. Then the catheter is withdrawn through the sheath without tension on the occlusio plug. Catheter and sheath 2 are removed from the body, the occlusion plug remains to close the vascular connection.
As pointed out above, the occlusion-balloon 5 is filled with a radiopaque, liquid material impermeable to radiation and being, compatible with the material of the balloon itself and also biocompatible. While the material stays liquid during the filling procedure, it must set after a certain lapse of time. As examples for such a substance we cite but silicone oil and hardener.
Furthermore, the catheter may also be provided with additional passages or lumina for specific purposes such as e.g. for measuring the blood pressure or for taking blood samples or, likewise, for measuring the blood oxygen or injecting substances such as contrast medium into the blood stream.
Referring now to the drawing of FIG. 2, shown therein and generally designated by reference character 1' is a catheter that comprises three passages 1 a'-c' and the corresponding openings 4', 7', 8'. At the distal end of the catheter there is provided in this embodyment a balloon extending along a determined axial length of the catheter tip and sourrounding the terminal end. This balloon is divided into two spherical section via an annular member or ring 10, on account of its being preformed in this manner. The two balloon-sections correspond respectively to the position-balloon and the occlusion-balloon of FIG. 1. However, the two balloons are combined here in a common balloon having sections 3' and 5' and having been slipped onto the catheter and is releasably attached thereto such as by means of suitable adhesives or mechanical connections. Detachment of the balloon from the catheter is effected with the aid of the sheath 2'.
The catheter described is introduced through the leg vein, pushed via the inferior vena cava to the right heart and from the pulmonary artery through the persistent ductus arteriosus to the aorta, as is routinely done in diagnostic heart catherization for this lesion. The position-balloon 3' is filled with gas or dye via passage 1 c' and opening 4', then the catheter is withdrawn until the position-balloon 3' stops at the insertion of the persistent ductus arteriosus. In that position the occlusion-balloon 5' is determined to lie within the vascular connection to be occluded. In the same manner as described for the first embodiment, the occlusion-balloon 5' is filled with radiopaque, hardening silicone-rubber after previous de-airing. The respective passages and openings have been designated by reference characters 1a', 1b' and 7' and 8', respectively. The position-balloon 3' is deflated. When releasing the balloon sections 3', 5' from the catheter with the aid of the sheath 2' the evacuated position-balloon 3' is also withdrawn with the tip of the catheter--where it has been releasably fixed--into the catheter channel of the occlusion balloon 5', and this until such time as the continued withdrawal of the catheter will result in a release from the tip.
Catheter and sheath are removed from the body, the occlusion plug remains exactly positioned and completely occludes the persistent ductus arteriosus.

I have included this slide as a historical perspective. I do not see a need to update it. Essentially it was a pictorial of the 'sections' reconciling the 1994 and 2000 versions in Appendix A.
The 'old' standard had (has) 20 sections or elements. These have been grouped into 4 sections in the year 2000 version of ISO 9001.
I have left it in as it is an interesting way to look at the relationships. This will be of more interest to those going through an 'upgrade' than to you new folks.

The 126 hectares make up a natural site, where there are 75 hectares of forest and the other 60 hectares of woodland, mainly hazel and chestnut trees.
The design of the rehabilitation project will focus on obtaining the greatest sustainability, taking into account the four orientations and the movement of light, with the façade of the old farmhouse facing north, where it has the entrance.
The views of the surroundings, with centenary trees, the exclusivity and privacy of the estate are to be highlighted.
The first news about the existence of Mas Parés is the deed of purchase of the property in 1343.
In the CONSELL COMARCAL de la SELVA, about five years ago, a DOCUMENTARY BACKGROUND was deposited about the property, its history, relevant data, etc… which is permanently exhibited in this public body, based in the neighbouring town of SANTA COLOMA DE FARNERS, due to the relevance that this property had/has in the region.
The architectural style of the farmhouse has a modernist and Catalan Noucentista touch.
Mas Parés is a rectangular farmhouse of considerable dimensions, consisting of a ground floor and two upper floors, covered with a gable roof with slopes on the sides.
The ground floor has seven openings, especially the large entrance doorway with a semicircular arch, equipped with robust and powerful voussoirs, very well worked and squared. There are also two secondary doorways: on the one hand, the doorway in the form of a large arch. On the other, the quadrangular doorway with a powerful monolithic lintel and well-cut stone pillars.
On the first floor or noble floor there are four openings, with the large Gothic window in the centre being particularly noteworthy.
The monolithic stone or Girona limestone window is complemented by a series of very interesting ornamental elements.
First of all, there is the dust cap made up of the superimposition of two light strips and crowned in the centre by a small pointed arch.
Secondly, the back of the chandelier, from which the two strips that make up the dust cap start, are decorated with sculpted decoration.
Thirdly, the imposts are decorated with small circular motifs.
Fourthly, the mullion on which the two arches rest is decorated with small circular motifs, which is supported by a slender column with a smooth shaft and a fragile appearance that gives the impression of breaking, which in turn rests on a quadrangular base. Finally, the well-worked and squared stone uprights and the sill are worth mentioning.
Apart from this Gothic window, there are two other interesting elements on the first floor: on the one hand, the living remains of a sundial, which has practically disappeared and which only conserves its original appearance with the rod or bit for marking the hours, which is partially bent. On the other hand, on the lintel of the window on the far left, we can read a very interesting inscription that alludes to one of the original owners of the house, which reads as follows:
+1700 "JONPARES"
At first glance, the first floor has an obvious modern flavour and taste, as evidenced by the attractive curved forms and the vegetal and floral ornamentation, present both in the large circular medallion that crowns the building and in the corbels at the ends of the roof. In the centre of the first floor are three semicircular arched openings, which rest on a worked sill.
Both the three semicircular arches and the sill are made of monolithic stone or Girona limestone. Under the sill with polychrome ceramic we can read: "M A S P A R E S".
As far as the materials are concerned, stone is the most important. Stone is present in different formats: firstly, on the first and first floors, fragmented and plastered stone predominates. The first floor is dominated by irregular stone blocks, fragmented stones and pebbles, all bound with lime mortar. However, the crowning is where there is a greater concentration of brick. Finally, we have the monolithic stone or Girona limestone located both in the Gothic window on the main floor and in the three semicircular arches on the first floor.
It is worth highlighting the aesthetic value that the neo-Gothic elements introduced in 1900 add to the façade, as well as the differential value with respect to other farmhouses provided by the extension of the central bay to a third floor.
Another of the architectural pieces that give value to Mas Parés is the fortified entrance to the enclosure, where various agricultural treatises were written by the family's ancestors, as well as translations from Latin into Catalan of documents relating to the owner family, which with its sentry box and stone staircase give the complex an added historical landscape value.
Source: See the library/documentary collection of Mas Pares, on loan to the Consell Comarcal de la Selva, in the town of Santa Coloma de Farners, where extensive historical information on the property and the family, as well as some of its members, is permanently on display.
It has belonged to the same family since the 13th century.
Since 1920, when Mas Parés was built, the building has undergone numerous alterations.
The state of conservation is quite good and except for some specific aspects, such as the detachment of stones from the upper part of the farmhouse, the rest is in good condition.
The farmhouse was extensively remodelled around 1900. The works specifically involved the construction of a third floor and the coronamen.
The old stables have been completely refurbished and have 200 m2, renovated in 2002, adaptable to multiple uses.
The main house from the 13th century, of large dimensions, three floors and ample spaces, currently in need of renovation, conserves historical architectural elements of great value.
Two beams from the Eiffel workshop of the time have been preserved. Eiffel carried out several works in Girona, the most relevant being the iron bridge of the city of Girona, which links the Jewish quarter with the city's expansion.
The property is perfect for a hotel conversion or event business. The scope of the project will depend on the final objective of the investor, whether for hotel use or luxury housing.
OUR PROPOSAL HOTEL MAS PARÉS House-Museum.
The differential value of Mas Parés compared to other similar hotels located in farmhouses is the fact that some of the original rooms and outbuildings have been kept unaltered, showing the use given to the building over the years. It has managed to keep a small piece of history inside, conserving spaces and architectural elements that give the complex a different character and added value to the intervention.
The central hall, the library, the old kitchen, the dining room and the wine cellar on the ground floor remain unchanged. In this way we can add the term Casa Museo, a differential character that gives added value to the new hotel.
Restore and conserve the main façade, due to its marked eclectic character, a reflection of the extensions that have been carried out over the years.
Refurbish the existing building, conserving the spaces and rooms mentioned above, integrating the new facilities and equipment necessary for the proper functioning of the new use.
The refurbishment should be extended to its courtyards and outdoor spaces.
As these are one of the great attractions with great potential uses for events and activities of the future hotel.
PROPOSED HOTEL SOLUTION:
A three-storey building, each of them for the following uses:
Ground floor: Museum house + service and equipment facilities. First floor: rooms and common areas of the hotel.
Second floor: hotel suites.
There is also the need to act on the bodies and buildings annexed to the farmhouse: stables, stables and other spaces for agricultural and livestock use.
Annexes. Plans of the Hotel Proposal.
Capex of the proposal: 1.500.000€, excluding exterior volumes.

Pressure injuries occur in persons who are mostly bed or chair bound, or demonstrate limited movement. Treatment and prevention require the work of a dedicated team, including RDs, who play a vital role in ensuring patients receive proper nutrition and hydration, each of which significantly can affect prevention efforts and the healing process.
Over the last few years, there have been several developments regarding pressure injuries. In 2016, the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) replaced the term "pressure ulcer" with "pressure injury."7 This revised terminology more accurately describes injuries to both intact and ulcerated skin.
In addition, updates were made to the definitions and terminology of pressure injury stages, which included a change from Roman numerals to Arabic numerals and updated drawings. The modifications are an attempt to make terminology and concepts more universal and globally standardized.
The next NPUAP guidelines, which are projected to be published in August 2019, are a collaborative effort with the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel and the Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance. The guidelines, which will include input from professionals from Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, and Thailand, will be translated into at least 11 different languages and feature updated nutrition information from an international pool of research.
Even with these global efforts, strong research regarding nutrition interventions for pressure injuries are lacking. "It's expensive to do randomized trials, especially in nutrition," says Mary Ellen Posthauer, RDN, CD, LD, FAND, president of MEP Healthcare Dietary Services and a past president and director of the NPUAP who's currently on the editorial advisory boards of Advances in Skin and Wound Care and Nutrition411. "A grade C is the lowest grade research but still shows there's evidence available. A lot of the guidelines are a grade C simply because there isn't strong research."
Becky Dorner, RDN, LD, FAND, founder and president of Nutrition Consulting Services, Inc, and Becky Dorner & Associates, Inc, who specializes in treating the elderly population and pressure injuries, agrees. "That's been the biggest challenge for us, that there aren't enough randomized clinical controlled trials that focus on the areas of nutrition," she says. "They are very expensive, so they are few and far between."
While weight loss is easy to determine, malnutrition may be more difficult to pinpoint. Neither the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (the Academy) nor the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition recommend using inflammatory biomarkers such as albumin and prealbumin to determine malnutrition. Instead, an etiology-based approach is preferred to relying solely on lab values. This requires the identification of at least two of the following six indicators to make a malnutrition diagnosis: insufficient energy intake, weight loss, loss of muscle mass, loss of subcutaneous fat, fluid accumulation, and diminished functional status.
But even though dietitians shouldn't rely solely on labs to determine malnutrition, it's still important to consider all lab values, as they may shed light on other factors that can impact pressure injuries and skin integrity, such as blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.
Nancy Munoz, DCN, MHA, RDN, FAND, a director on the NPUAP board, applies the same principle in her own practice regarding lab values. "There is no specific lab I hang my hat on when dealing with pressure injuries, but I still look at all of them because they will tell you different things that can help you see the full picture," she says.
Adequate energy intake should be the top priority in individuals who have pressure injuries or may be at risk of pressure injuries, especially malnourished or underweight patients.5 The source of calories also is important; most calories should come from carbohydrates and fats to prevent the body from deriving energy from proteins or amino acids, which should be used for collagen synthesis and skin healing instead. If overall calorie needs are being met, the body will take energy from carbohydrate and fat first, leaving the proteins and amino acids to be used for healing.
Protein, which promotes wound healing by supporting the synthesis of collagen, enzymes, and connective tissue, encourages a positive nitrogen balance. An increased protein intake has been associated with improved healing rates.
While the general recommendation for protein intake is 0.8 g/kg of body weight per day, this may not be adequate for individuals with pressure injuries, especially elderly patients who may be experiencing sarcopenia, or loss of lean muscle mass.5 The NPUAP recommends a protein intake of 1.25 to 1.5 g/kg of body weight per day. In some cases of severe pressure injury, such as stage 3 or stage 4, needs may increase to up to 2 g/kg of body weight per day.
Two studies found significant increases in the healing process and a downsize in wound area after supplementing arginine in doses ranging from 6 to 9 g daily for several weeks.
Another study found improvements with supplementation of 18 g arginine daily, but results weren't statistically significant.
Although the research is promising, further studies must be conducted to make tangible recommendations.
Several vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, zinc, and copper, are associated with collagen formation and skin health.5 Deficiencies in any three of these can lead to delayed healing of pressure injuries. However, there's little evidence to support supplementation of these vitamins and minerals beyond the recommended daily intake. Supplementation of all vitamins and minerals through fortified foods or a multivitamin is recommended when the patient is deficient.
The NPUAP agrees with European guidelines that recommend starting patients at 1 mL water per kg of body weight, adjusting for individual conditions.5 Patients with significantly increased protein intake may have fluid needs that exceed this recommendation.
As more research supports the importance of nutrition for pressure injuries, additional emphasis is placed on the role of the dietitian, a change that should be embraced and encouraged. Dietitians should stay abreast of new developments and share them with their health care team to promote the best care for patients with pressure injuries.
"Nutrition is gaining momentum in the wound healing world. However, battling old theories and practices against doctors and nurses is a difficult task for RDs," says Tami Pruitt, MS, RD, NWCC, the first dietitian in the United States to be certified in wound care by the National Alliance of Wound Care and Ostomy. "We are vital, not only to treatment but to prevention as well."

The Swan 120 – pushing the boundaries of a performance cruiser
The new carbon fibre model further demarcates the three core pillars of Swan's product range…
At the Monaco Yacht Show this year, Nautor's Swan unveiled its latest maxi yacht model, the Swan 120, reaffirming its reputation for impeccable craftsmanship.
The new model, designed by Germán Frers, not only serves its purpose as a tremendous performance cruiser with the latest design refinements from the experts at Nautor's Swan, but further demarcates the three core pillars of Swan's range of products: the production Swan line up to 78ft; Swan superyachts (98 and 120); and the ClubSwan performance range.
"Out of the four 115s we have built, the first one, Solleone, was very cruising performance-orientated. However, the last two, Highland Fling and Odin, were designed more for racing," explains Peter Naeyé, product line leader at Maxi Swan. "In my opinion, those customers should be attracted to the ClubSwan range, so what we've tried to do with the 120 is bring the focus back around to comfort inside and on deck, to have a more cruising-orientated yacht while maintaining a good level of performance."
The hull and deck of the Swan 120 will be entirely carbon fibre – specifically, they will be built from epoxy SPRINT prepreg carbon fibre skins on a core of M-grade Corecell foam. The result, according to Naeyé, will be excellent structural stiffness and rigidity at the lightest possible weight.
"There are many carbon fibre-orientated owners and captains now," he continues, "and while I understand their ambitions to make everything extremely lightweight, one thing I wanted on this particular boat was a good-sized tender, so that guests can make it from the boat to the restaurant on the shore [and remain] dry."
The transom folds down hydraulically to form a teak-decked swim platform – or 'beach deck' – and a clever storage area for a 4.5m tender of the owner's choice. "Having a big tender, especially with an inboard engine, can be used for exploration of coasts while at anchor too, so it's not only used for shore transfers," Naeyé adds. Once the tender is launched, the deck area can be used for sunbathing or dining.
Two principal interior concepts have been put together by Genovese designer and naval architect, Misa Poggi, and the team at Nautor's Swan: one has the master in the aft and one has the master forward. Both layouts feature three additional guest cabins, all of which are en-suite.
"What we've tried to do with the 120 is bring the focus back around to comfort inside and on deck."
The saloon has plenty of natural light from the coach roof design and there is a unique layout option featuring a large hull window adjacent to daybeds – a soft-furnished space that is perfect under sail or just before the night falls.
"We have been overwhelmed by the number of enquiries since the unveiling of the model at the Monaco Yacht Show," remarks Naeyé. "We are producing quotation after quotation at the moment, which is a good sign."
Despite this popularity, Naeyé says the shipyard will not begin a project on-speculation in anticipation of a first order. The rationale behind this decision, he explains, is the multitude of options available to potential clients. "We're sure these customers will have specific requirements. While the hull is the same for this platform, there are different layout options.
"For instance, you also have the option of three different rigs – you can have the standard pin-head rig, or a pin-head with a short bowsprit, or a square-top with a long bowsprit [over 3m]. These considerations have a significant impact on how you set up the boat, so we will wait for the first order."
As well as the specific requirements to be met, the shipyard are confident in the short amount of time needed to deliver the vessels to the owner. "We have a very short lead time – we can build these boats in under two years. In addition to the speed of the build, we have managed to reduce prices without sacrificing Nautor's quality and while using prepreg carbon," concludes Naeyé.
One certainly has to agree that this concept makes sense for a multi-faceted yacht builder such as Nautor's Swan, which is catering to a range of owners with different experience levels and ambitions, to have more clearly defined product ranges. The Swan 120 is certainly an excellent design put forward by the Finnish yard.

Margarida Folch de Cardona i Requesens (1535-1581), también conocida como Margarida o Margarita de Cardona, fue una noble catalana miembro de la corte de los reinos del imperio hispano. Fue la dama de compañía de la emperatriz Maria de Austria y de Portugal entre 1548 y 1581. Tuvo una posición influyente en la corte de la emperatriz y la correspondencia que mantuvo con su marido, Adam von Dietrichstein, y con su hija, Anna von Dietrichstein, nos ha proporcionado una valiosa documentación sobre la política interna de esta casa real y sobre sus miembros.

Biografía
Margarida de Cardona era hija de los nobles catalanes Antoni Folch de Cardona y Enríquez (Barón de Sant Boi, Virrey y Capitán General de Cerdeña y Mayordomo Mayor de Maria de Áustria, además de comandador de la Orden de Santiago) y Maria de Requesens (m. 1577), hija de Galceran de Requesens y Elena de Baucio. Margarida de Cardona fue nombrada dama de honor de la princesa María antes de su matrimonio con Maximiliano.

Acompañó a María a Austria en 1551. Allí se casó con el diplomático y oficial de la corte alemana Adam von Dietrichstein, en 1554. Tuvieron trece hijos. Su madre ya había servido como dama de compañía de María de Austria entre los años 1554 y 1577, y Margarita de Cardona fue nombrada dama de compañía después de su matrimonio con el camarlengo de Maximiliano. Margarida de Cardona y Adam von Dietrichstein, junto con María de Lara y Wratislav von Pernstein, pertenecían al círculo íntimo de cortesanos estrictamente católicos preferido por María en Austria.

En 1563, Margarida se marchó a la península ibérica con su marido, que había sido nombrado tutor de los hijos de María de Áustria, Rudolf y Ernst. En 1570, recibió el encargo de organizar la casa de la nueva esposa del rey Felipe II, Ana de Austria. Sus hijas y sus hermanas se convirtieron todas en damas de compañía de la reina Ana y de las princesas de la corte. Margarida de Cardona ilustra la influencia que podía llegar a tener una dama de honor respecto a los nombramientos de la organización interna de la corte.

En 1573, regresó a Austria y reanudó su cargo como dama de compañía de María de Austria. Margarida de Cardona acompañó a María a la península ibérica cuando la emperatriz quedó viuda y se retiró a morir.
