  • Publication number: 20240108399
    Abstract: An apparatus including a body, a shaft assembly extending distally from the body, and an end effector configured to grasp and transmit RF energy to the tissue. The end effector includes a first jaw having a first tissue grasping feature and a second jaw. The second jaw is pivotably coupled to the first jaw between an open position, a partially closed position, and a closed position. The second jaw includes a proximal taper having a proximal electrode surface, a distal taper including a distal electrode surface, and a juncture between the proximal and distal electrode surface. The juncture is spaced further from the first tissue grasping feature compared to the proximal and distal end while the second jaw is in the partially closed position. The proximal and distal electrode surface deform to define a gap with the first tissue grasping feature while in the closed position.

  • Publication number: 20230012482
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method includes obtaining a media composition for display on an electronic display device is obtained. The media composition includes a plurality of layers, with each layer including a visual element. The method also includes selecting at least some of the layers of the media composition to have a parallax effect applied thereto and determining an amount of total parallax effect to apply to the selected layers. Also, the method includes determining an appropriate amount of offset to apply to each of the selected layers on an individual basis and shifting the selected layers in one or more directions by their respective appropriate amounts. Moreover, the method includes displaying the media composition showing the parallax effect on the electronic display device.

  • Patent number: 11184353
    Abstract: The embodiments set forth systems and techniques to authenticate a user device for device services, such as by transferring or extending a trusted device status from a separate and trusted associated user device, which can be paired with the user device. This can be done automatically without requiring the user to sign in at or on behalf of the user device, and the automated process can include verifying a trusted status for the associated user device, receiving data items from both devices, evaluating the data items, and facilitating an authentication of the user device when the evaluating returns a favorable result. Data items can include provisioned machine identifiers, temporally limited one-time user passwords, and a provisioned password reset key. Authentication or trusted device status transfer can be achieved by way of an authentication token that is given to the user device.

  • Patent number: 10917791
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for migrating data between a first device and a second device via a private wireless network hosted by the first device. According to some embodiments, the private wireless network is established based on a code generated by the first device. The second device derives wireless network parameters associated with the private wireless network and connects to the private wireless network. In turn, the data migration can commence when a connection between the first device and the second device has been established.

  • Patent number: 10255449
    Abstract: To perform a restricted action, such as access a restricted content item, a subordinate user account can transmit a permission request to an authorizing user account. The permission request can request authorization from the authorizing user account to perform the restricted action. The permission request can be transmitted to one or more client devices of the authorizing user account, and enable to the authorizing user account to remotely select to approve or deny the permission request, thereby either granting or denying the subordinate user account from performing the restricted action. In addition to approving or denying a permission request, an authorizing user account can also be enabled to ignore a permission request, thereby allowing the authorizing user account to respond to the permission request at a later time. Further, in some embodiments, an authorizing user account can select to deny all further permission requests to perform the restricted action.

  • Patent number: 10203272
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include aerosol impactors comprising one or more micromechanical resonators. Impactors according to embodiments of the invention can provide size classification and/or concentration of aerosol particulate. Aerosol impactors can use an air flow device, such as a pump, to create a constant flow of air. Nozzles of varying diameters are used to separate particulate of varying sizes and the particles that pass through strike a measuring device. MEMS resonators can be integrated into arrays to provide mass sensitivity in a small, lightweight and cost effective package, which will effectively allow for the measurement of the mass of every micro/nanoscale particle landing on the surface.

  • Publication number: 20180352042
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of providing information to a third-party service. From the third-party service, the method receives a request for information regarding a particular device that is transacting with the third-party service. The request includes data encrypted by the particular device that is inaccessible to the third-party service. The method accesses the encrypted data to determine a unique identifier of the particular device. The method uses the unique identifier to determine the requested information. The method provides the requested information to the third-party service without providing an identity of the device to the third-party service.

  • Publication number: 20170264674
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detecting documents within content received by a computing device. A computing device can receive content through an application. The received content is scanned to determine if it includes a file type indicating that it includes a redeemable document. A notification is presented to the user when a document has been detected within the content including a button enabling rendering of the document on the computing device. The rendered document can include a button to transmit the document to secondary computing devices associated with the user. A user profile associated with the user can include data indicating secondary computing devices associated with the user. The user profile can be accessed to retrieve the data and, if the button is selected, the document can be transmitted to the secondary computing devices from which the user can render the document.
