Patent number: 9286814Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein generally relates to a sign assembly. In one embodiment, a sign assembly includes a first panel and a second panel. The first panel extends between an upper portion and an opposite lower portion. The second panel extends between an upper portion and an opposite lower portion. The first and second panels are pivotably coupled to one another about a pivot axis such that the sign assembly is positionable in an open configuration and a closed configuration. Further forms, embodiments, features, and aspects are disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2014Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: IMPACT INTERNATIONALInventors: Robert Joseph Thomaselli, John Michael Brown

Patent number: 8313330Abstract: Systems and methods for medical tool auto-capture are described. One described system for simulation of a medical procedure comprises a first grasper comprising a first grasper proximal end and a first grasper distal end. The system further comprises a first sensor coupled to the first grasper distal end and configured to identify a first medical tool approaching the first sensor, wherein the first grasper is configured to automatically grasp the first medical tool upon the first sensor identifying the first medical tool. The system also comprises an actuator to provide a haptic effect to a user.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2007Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Immersion CorporationInventors: Peter Maspoli, John Michael Brown, Robert F. Cohen

Publication number: 20110164985Abstract: A turbine includes a cone and a plurality of curvilinear blades extending substantially along the length of the cone, from at or near the apex of the cone to at or near the base of the cone. In one embodiment, each of the curvilinear blades includes two walls, a first wall oriented substantially upstream with respect to the direction of fluid flow and a second wall oriented substantially downstream with respect to the direction of fluid flow. The first and second walls come together to form the edges of the curvilinear blades.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2010Publication date: July 7, 2011Inventor: John Michael BROWN

Patent number: 6904553Abstract: A digital system having multiple clock domain, each including at least one edge-triggered device, such as a flip-flop, is structured to be submitted to scan testing. Each data path from one clock domain to another includes a latch that is operated by a test clock. During scan testing, when the digital system is logically reconfigured to form one or more scan chains for receiving a test vector, the latches are operated to ensure that the test vector is passed from one domain to another.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2000Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: John Michael Brown

Patent number: 5751932Abstract: A multiprocessor system includes a number of sub-processor systems, each substantially identically constructed, and each comprising a central processing unit (CPU), and at least one I/O device, interconnected by routing apparatus that also interconnects the sub-processor systems. A CPU of any one of the sub-processor systems may communicate, through the routing elements, with any I/O device of the system, or with any CPU of the system. The CPUs are structured to operate in one of two modes: a simplex mode in which the two CPUs operate independently of each other, and a duplex mode in which the CPUs operate in lock-step synchronism to execute each instruction of identical instruction streams at substantially the same time. Communications between I/O devices and CPUs is by packetized messages. Interrupts from I/O devices are communicated from the I/O devices to the CPUs (or from one CPU to another CPU) as message packets. CPUs and I/O devices may write to, or read from, memory of a CPU of the system.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: May 12, 1998Assignee: Tandem Computers IncorporatedInventors: Robert W. Horst, William Edward Baker, Randall G. Banton, John Michael Brown, William F. Bruckert, William Patterson Bunton, Gary F. Campbell, John Deane Coddington, Richard W.

Memory protection is provided by an access validation method maintained by each CPU in which CPUs and/or I/O devices are provided with a validation to read/write memory of that CPU, without which memory access is denied.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: November 18, 1997Assignee: Tandem Computers IncorporatedInventors: Steven C.
