Patent number: 11960683Abstract: A display system for sensing a finger of a user applied to the display system includes a display panel; a sensor for sensing the finger; a sensing light source configured to emit a first light having a first wavelength W1; and a reflective polarizer disposed between the display panel and the sensor. For a substantially normally incident light, an optical transmittance of the reflective polarizer versus wavelength for a first polarization state has a band edge such that for a first wavelength range extending from a smaller wavelength L1 to a greater wavelength L2 and including W1, where 30 nm?L2?L1?50 nm and L1 is greater than and within about 20 nm of a wavelength L3 corresponding to an optical transmittance of about 50% along the band edge, the optical transmittance has an average of greater than about 75%.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Bharat R.

Publication number: 20240085608Abstract: Optical films are disclosed that include a plurality of interference layers. Each interference layer reflects or transmits light primarily by optical interference. The total number of the interference layers is less than about 1000. For a substantially normally incident light in a predetermined wavelength range, the plurality of interference layers has an average optical transmittance greater than about 85% for a first polarization state, an average optical reflectance greater than about 80% for an orthogonal second polarization state, and an average optical transmittance less than about 0.2% for the second polarization state.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Adam D. Haag, Timothy J. Nevitt, Carl A. Stover, Andrew J. Ouderkirk, Robert D. Taylor, Zhaohui Yang

Patent number: 11918234Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for ligament repair procedures, and can be used to establish a location and trajectory for forming a bone tunnel in bone. One exemplary embodiment of a surgical guide for using in a ligament repair procedure includes a guide arm and a carriage that can be selectively locked along the guide arm to define an angle of the bone tunnel. The guide arm also defines a location of a distal end of the bone tunnel. In some embodiments the carriage is configured to have a bullet side-loaded into it, and the bullet can be used to define a location of a proximal end of the bone tunnel. The present disclosure also provides for a gage that limits the distance a drill pin that drills the bone tunnel can travel. A variety of other, devices, systems, and methods are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Medos International SarlInventors: Lauren Ardito, Gary Fernandes, Michael S. Varieur, Kevin J. Zylka, Scott Presbrey, Carl Livorsi, Franciso A. Amaral, Brian D. Busconi, Dean C. Taylor

Patent number: 9929477Abstract: A torque limited screw is used to secure a conductor to an electrical connector. The screw has a torque limiting feature between a head and a body of the screw which must be overcome by force to break the head free from the screw body. The screw assembly includes a threaded body configured to be releasably coupled to a coupling portion of the connector. A head of the screw assembly is joined to the body via a neck portion which under a specified torque applied to the head fractures to break the head away from the body seated in the connector and securing the conductor. In one embodiment, the screw includes a plate spaced from and coupled to the threaded body for contacting the conductor. The plate is rotatable relative to the threaded body when the threaded body is coupled to the coupling portion of the connector.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Ilsco CorporationInventors: Michael W. Beiler, Eric D. Besterman, Stephen M. Jackson, Alan Merritt, Philip G. Reed, Richard L. Shank, Thomas M. Sweeney, Carl J. Taylor

Publication number: 20090163087Abstract: A connector for connecting a transformer stud with at least one conductor includes first and second opposed end faces, with each of the faces respectively including first and second ports configured to receive the stud therethrough. A central bore extends from at least the first port for receiving the stud therein. The connector includes a plurality of channels oriented transverse to the central bore with each of the channels being configured to receive a conductor therein. The central bore may extend from the first port to the second port. The central bore may be configured to selectively receive studs of at least two different sizes. The central bore may be configured to selectively receive studs, for example, having respectively diameters of about ? of an inch and about 1 inch. The central bore may include an extruded toothed surface configured to secure the stud there against.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2007Publication date: June 25, 2009Applicant: ILSCO CORPORATIONInventors: Thomas M.
