Publication number: 20240176172Abstract: An electro-absorption modulator (EAM) is configured to include an on-chip AC ground plane that is used to terminate the high frequency RF input signal within the chip itself. This on-chip ground termination of the modulation input signal improves the frequency response of the EAM, which is an important feature when the EAM needs to support data rates in excess of 50 Gbd. By virtue of using an on-chip ground for the very high frequency signal content, it is possible to use less expensive off-chip components to address the lower frequency range of the data signal (i.e., for frequencies less than about 1 GHz).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2024Publication date: May 30, 2024Applicant: II-VI Delaware, Inc.Inventors: Andrei Kaikkonen, David Adams, Robert Lewen, Nicolae Chitica

Patent number: 11994528Abstract: Purifying target biomolecules, such as nucleic acids or proteins, from a biological source is a time intensive process and is typically performed by a skilled technician or scientist owing to the highly technical nature of the work. Systems, devices, and methods disclosed herein enable the automated bioprocessing and purification of target biomolecules from a biological source. For example, an instrument and disposable cartridge are provided for automatedly isolating and purifying nucleic acids (such as plasmid DNA from a bacterial culture) or for isolating protein from any biological sample. Such an exemplary instrument and cartridge can work in concert to timely release, mix, and move the target biomolecule and various reagents and buffers through a target biomolecule purification process, resulting in a purified target biomolecule with less manual oversight than traditional approaches.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2020Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Alexandre Vlassov, Timothy Barta, Justin Inslee, Ethan Gentert, Robert Smith, Sara Thiele, Carolyn Adams, Kraig Kruger, Robert Schneider, Wade Lukianow, Jay Greco, Jason Jones, David Cerrone, Sumonto Ghosh, Brian Vajda, Andrew Basta, Allan Evans, Christopher Crowley, Robert Setterquist, Anne Cox, Mark Mayernick

Patent number: 11944551Abstract: A joint spacer therapeutically maintains separation of bones of a joint. A carriage is slideably retained within the frame and has at least one ramped surface. An actuator screw is threadably engaged with the frame, and rotatably connected to the carriage, to cause the carriage to slideably move within the frame when the actuator screw is rotated. First and second endplates engage the bones of the joint, and each has at least one ramped surface that is mateable with the ramped surface of the carriage, whereby when the carriage is slideably moved by rotation of the actuator screw, the endplates ramped surface slides against the carriage ramped surface to cause the endplates to move along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the frame, to increase the height of the spacer. Piercing elements are connected to the carriage to pierce bone of the joint when the carriage is moved.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Globus Medical, Inc.Inventors: Jody L.

Publication number: 20240104135Abstract: A system and method of identifying objects is provided. In one aspect, the system and method includes a hand-held device with a display, camera and processor. As the camera captures images and displays them on the display, the processor compares the information retrieved in connection with one image with information retrieved in connection with subsequent images. The processor uses the result of such comparison to determine the object that is likely to be of greatest interest to the user. The display simultaneously displays the images the images as they are captured, the location of the object in an image, and information retrieved for the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: David Petrou, Matthew Bridges, Shailesh Nalawadi, Hartwig Adam, Matthew R.

Publication number: 20240086479Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that identify and issue search queries expected to be issued in the future. A set of search queries that have been issued by multiple user devices can be obtained. For each query instance, contextual data can be obtained. A first query and its contextual data can be input to a model that outputs the query's likelihood of being issued in the future. The model can be trained using contextual data for training queries and a corresponding labels for the training queries. The learning model outputs the first query's likelihood of being issued in future, and this query is stored as a repeatable query if the likelihood satisfying a repeatability threshold. Subsequently, a stored repeatable query is issued upon a selection of a user selectable interface component and the search engine provides search results for the query.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Yew Jin Lim, David Adam Faden, Mario Tanev, Lauren Ashley Koepnick, Sagar Gandhi, William Ming Zhang
