  • Patent number: 11415604
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and a computer readable medium are provided herein for providing an indication of a connection terminal on a measurement device for use in performing a test of a target device. The system can include a target device and a measurement device. The measurement device can couple to the target device via a plurality of connection terminals to perform a test of the target device. The measurement device can receive an input identifying a test to be performed on the target device by the measurement device. The measurement device can determine, based on the received input, an indication identifying at least one connection terminal of the plurality of connection terminals to connect to the target device to perform the test. The measurement device can provide the indication of the at least one connection terminal via an indication mechanism associated with the at least one connection terminal.

  • Patent number: 10265413
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are high molecular weight compounds comprising gelatin and doxorubicin, where the gelatin is covalently linked to doxorubicin through a cleavable linker. The cleavable linker can be cleaved under appropriate physiological conditions, and thus lead to the freeing of doxorubicin. The free doxorubicin can then exert its cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. Disclosed herein are methods of making the high molecular weight gelatin-doxorubicin conjugates and methods of use of the same.

  • Patent number: 9949879
    Abstract: A method of forming a web includes directing a first discrete segment at a first speed to a first pick-up location. The first discrete segment is transferred from the first pick-up location to an application location using a first segment transfer device. A second discrete segment is directed to at a second speed to a second pick-up location. The second discrete segment is transferred from the second pick-up location to the application location using a second segment transfer device. The first and second discrete segments are attached to each other at the application location to form a web.

  • Patent number: 9668923
    Abstract: Apparatus for attaching discrete segments together to form a continuous web include a first segment transfer device adapted to receive a first continuous web at a first pick-up location and to release a first discrete segment cut from the first web at an application location. The first segment transfer device has a first speed profile. A second segment transfer device is adapted to receive a second continuous web at a second pick-up location and to release a second discrete segment cut from the second web at the application location such that the second discrete segment is attached to the first discrete segment. The second segment transfer device has a second speed profile that is different than the first speed profile.

  • Patent number: 8813351
    Abstract: Apparatus for separately conveying a plurality of discrete parts from a web and applying each of the discrete parts to a substrate includes a plurality of transfer pucks and a drive assembly. The drive assembly is configured to rotate each of the transfer pucks such that a plurality of pairs of discrete parts is applied to the web. Each applied pair of discrete parts includes a first discrete part and a second discrete part spaced a first distance from the first discrete part, wherein adjacent pairs of discrete pairs are spaced a second distance that is different from the first distance.

  • Publication number: 20100114185
    Abstract: The described embodiments relate to a bone distraction plate device, which is surgically implanted, and a distraction tool for the purpose of growing new bone through the process of distraction. The device comprises a prosthesis housing a screw mechanism that attaches to a threaded post, which extends through tissue from an onlay plate and is surgically placed on the alveolar bone. The distraction tool is used to rotate the screw mechanism to create extension between the tissue and the onlay plate. After a brief, latent period, the screw mechanism is then activated daily using the distraction tool until the desired amount of new bone growth (height and width) is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20040181575
    Abstract: The present invention provides a peer-to-peer network for pushing data in response to a broadcast query from a content provider. The invention includes broadcasting a query message from a content provider to a plurality of nodes. After the content provider receives a response from at least one of the nodes, the content provider establishes peer-to-peer connections with the responding nodes. The content provider can then push data to the requesting nodes.

  • Patent number: 6252859
    Abstract: A radio communications system includes a plurality of talkgroups. Each talkgroup comprises a number of individual radio units having the capability to communicate with each other on one of a number of discrete communications channels temporarily assigned to that talkgroup by a control unit (CU). The control means identifies a communication channel (the selected channel) which is currently idle and transmits a “Free Channel” signal in that channel. A radio unit initiating communication with the other radio units in the same talkgroup starts to transmit on the selected channel, and the control unit (CU) assigns the selected channel to the respective talkgroup in response to the transmission to enable all the radio units in the talkgroup to communicate with each other on the selected channel.
