Patent number: 11938046Abstract: A medical implant may include a structural member and a radiopaque marker. The structural member may include a first surface, a second surface disposed opposite the first surface, an opening extending from the first surface to the second surface and defining a central axis, and a plurality of barbs extending into the opening toward the central axis. The barbs may be spaced apart from one another and spaced apart from each of the first surface and the second surface. The radiopaque marker may be disposed within the opening.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: VESPER MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Michael Longo, Christopher Turek, Timothy O'Neil, Daniel Alexander

Publication number: 20230086454Abstract: Systems and methods are described that provide a backend micro-code architecture and a front-end user agent. For example, the user agent may accept an instruction that contains one or more components of an opcode. The backend system may receive the instruction and provide it to a bifurcated process. The first part of the process can decode the instruction and execute a series of search queries that correspond with the instruction. The second part of the process can receive the search results, create a data model/script that can be read by the user agent, and return/embed the data model/script to the user agent. The user agent may search the data model locally at the user device to reduce the number of electronic communications between the backend and front-end. The user agent can enable the user to dynamically create a new search by selecting different combination of the five components of an opcode.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: SRAX, Inc.Inventor: Christopher O'Neil

Patent number: 11136688Abstract: Systems and processes for treating surfaces of metal components are provided. The systems can include a container for containing a metal workpiece having a surface with a complex external geometry and for containing a solution that has electrolytes at a flow rate that varies according to a local shape of the surface to thereby treat the surface of the metal workpiece; optionally one or more electrodes for creating an electrical field; and optionally a temperature control device configured to provide a predetermined temperature or range of temperatures. The processes can include providing a metal workpiece having a surface with a complex external geometry; and contacting the workpiece in the presence of a predetermined electrical field at a predetermined temperature with a solution containing electrolytes at a flow rate that varies according to a local shape of the surface to thereby treat the surface of the metal workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: University of Louisville Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Li Yang, Yan Wu, Christopher O'Neil, Austin Lassell, Hengfeng Gu

Patent number: 10275538Abstract: A resource set comprising a set of resources may be provided to the public. It may be desirable to associate with the resources a set of public names, such as friendly URLs that may be more memorable, may indicate to users the type of resource so named, and may promote indexing of the resources by search engines. A name hierarchy (such as a portion of a file system) may store at least one reference that associates a public name with a resource. A name hierarchy navigation logic may facilitate navigation through the name hierarchy, and may specify a particular location within the name hierarchy where a reference associated with the public name is to be stored. This manner of associating public names with resources may promote the scalability and efficiency in associating public names with resources and in retrieving a resource associated with a particular public name.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Vladilen V.

Patent number: 5270135Abstract: An article includes a ceramic member (5) and a composite member (9) bonded together. The composite member is formed of a substrate member and a deformable metal layer which is mechanically fixed to the substrate member. The substrate member is formed of a material which is harder than the deformable metal. The ceramic member and the deformable metal layer of the composite member are hermetically sealed together by a solid phase bond formed by ultrasonic welding.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1991Date of Patent: December 14, 1993Assignee: Chloride Silent Power, Ltd.Inventors: Christopher O'Neil-Bell, Stuart McLachlan

Patent number: 5118574Abstract: The cathode region of a sodium sulphur cell has hitherto sometimes been sealed by a thin metal member welded at its outer periphery to the metal casing and at its inner periphery to the alpha alumina lid of the electrolyte. The welding operation damages the essential protective coating of the thin metal member. This invention discloses sealing the cathode region with a thin metal member (5) secured to a concentric outer thicker metal member (4), the thin member being sealed to the lid (15) and the thicker member being sealed to the casing (1). The thickness of the outer member eliminates the need for a protective coating so that the combined seal has greater integrity than previous seals.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1990Date of Patent: June 2, 1992Assignee: Chloride Silent Power LimitedInventors: Bindin, Peter J., Stuart McLachlan, Christopher O'Neil Bell, Gilbert Sands, Roger A. Ball
