  • Patent number: 11930555
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are set forth for providing digital and non-digital content to a segment of a population that is identified using geolocation data and other activity data. In some implementations, non-digital content is delivered via postal mail to a segment of a population according to whether the segment of the population viewed certain content before, during, or after visiting a particular geographic location. In other implementations, digital content, such as phone calls or voice messages, can be delivered to a segment of a population according whether the segment of the population is present or has recently been present at a particular location and previously viewed certain content associated with the location. Segmenting populations in this way can conserve computational resources and materials that might otherwise be wasted on serving a larger population that may have less of an interest in the content.

  • Patent number: 11918302
    Abstract: An interactive control unit is disclosed. The interactive control unit includes an interactive touchscreen display, an interface configured to couple the control unit to a surgical hub, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive input commands from the interactive touchscreen display located inside a sterile field and transmit the input commands to the surgical hub to control devices coupled to the surgical hub located outside the sterile field.

  • Patent number: 9751815
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to the conversion of a source material (e.g., a depolymerized oligosaccharide mixture, a monomeric sugar, a hydrolysate, or a mixture of monomeric sugars) to intermediate molecules containing 7 to 26 contiguous carbon atoms. These intermediates may also be converted to saturated hydrocarbons. Such saturated hydrocarbons are useful as, for example, fuels.

  • Patent number: 9469574
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the one step selective conversion of starch, cellulose, or glucose to molecules containing 7 to 26 contiguous carbon atoms. The invention is also directed to the conversion of those intermediates to saturated hydrocarbons. Such saturated hydrocarbons are useful as, for example, fuels.

  • Patent number: 4713564
    Abstract: The opening and closure of the contacts of a push-button actuated switch duces across impedance means a voltage which is stably high and low when such contacts are maintained closed and open, respectively. Bouncing of the contacts after their initial closures and openings produces superposition on the stable levels of such voltage of trains of impulses caused by such bouncing. A bistable semiconductor flip-flop is coupled to the impedance means to sense such voltage and to assume a "high" state and a "low" state only when the stable level of such voltage is, respectively, high and low and, further, the flip-flop receives a clock signal. A retriggerable semiconductor monostable multivibrator is coupled to such impedance means to be triggered by such impulses from its stable "off" state to its unstable "on" state which is repetitively renewed by repetitive retriggering of the multivibrator.
