Abstract: A method of using a catheter assembly for inserting in a fluid filled space in a body includes providing a main body having a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is positioned within the fluid filled space. The second end portion is adjusted to extend outwardly from the fluid filled space when the first end portion is positioned within the fluid filled space. A catheter tip is connected to the second end portion of the main body. The catheter tip includes a housing having a cavity defined therein and a rotating element positioned within the fluid filled space. The rotating element is rotated within the cavity of the housing to impart movement of the first end portion of the main body within the fluid filled space.

Abstract: An electronic circuit, integrated circuit, and method for a bias-less Miller clamp protection circuit, electrically coupled to an output of a driver circuit and to an input gate of a semiconductor switch device, for dynamically protecting the semiconductor switch device from turning from an off state to an on state in response to a parasitic Miller turn-on signal at the gate, regardless of the bias-less Miller clamp protection circuit having, or lacking, a power supply that provides electrical power to the bias-less Miller clamp protection circuit.

Abstract: A method for computer-assisted exercise is described. The method includes loading a definition for the exercise including an ordered list of steps. Each step includes positions, and each position is defined by constraints. For each step in the ordered list, the method loads the current step, receives an image of a patient performing the exercise; and determines a plurality of keypoints in the image. For each constraint, a determination is made as to whether the constraint is being met by the patient based, at least in part, on the relative locations of the plurality of keypoints. In response to determining a first set of constraints in the position is met by the patient, the method proceeds to a next step in the ordered list of steps. Methods for authoring the definitions for the exercises are also described.

Abstract: The systems and methods provide continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline management using pipeline-agnostic rule sets applied to pre-deployment code samples. The system standardizes the application of a rule set to a pre-deployment code sample to use data at a given location, but the system allows for the sample itself to determine which data stream of the data streams at that data location is used. As such, the systems and methods avoid the need for the plethora of rule sets that would overwhelm a user and defeat the purpose of the CaaS product, but the system allows for processing pre-deployment code samples that are specific to the sample.

The controller is configured to: obtain data indicative of a request to move the one or more support bars from a stowed position to a deployed position; determine, based on sensor data detected by the one or more sensors, the deployed position for moving the one or more support bars; and control, based on the determined deployed position, the actuator to move the one or more support bars from the stowed position to the deployed position.

Abstract: Portable electronic devices by their nature are designed to be regularly physically repositioned and relocated, which can cause significant mechanical stresses on internal components, including printed circuit boards (PCBs). This is particularly true when a portable electronic device is handled roughly. These significant mechanical stresses can cause threaded mechanical fasteners securing the PCBs to become dislodged. A dislodged threaded mechanical fastener may contact electrically conductive features of the PCB or other internal components, thereby causing a ground fault or short. At a minimum, this may cause the portable electronic device to not work well, or at all. Further, this may cause the portable electronic device to overheat and become a fire hazard. The presently disclosed technology detects if the threaded mechanical fasteners within a portable electronic device become dislodged. A user of the portable electronic device may then be warned, and the portable electronic device may be powered down.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a substrate, a GaN FET power switch disposed on the substrate, and a totally-GaN-based driver disposed on the substrate and coupled to the GaN FET power switch. The totally-GaN-based driver has an input terminal for receiving a supply voltage and includes an under-voltage detector having an output terminal. The under-voltage detector outputs a UVLO signal when the supply voltage is below a low-to-high threshold value, and does not output the UVLO signal when the supply voltage is above the low-to-high threshold value. The totally-GaN-based driver includes a pulse stretcher having an input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the under-voltage detector, and an output terminal for outputting a stretched_UVLO signal for a predetermined amount of time after the supply voltage first rises above the low-to-high threshold value.

Abstract: The present jig for guiding placement of femoral component of the implant in a knee replacement surgery (J) is a pre-assembled Jig (J) which ensures precision fit femoral implant for knee replacement based on difference of cuts in millimeters instead of the usual angle measurement in degrees. It avoids intrusion of the intramedullary canal substantially decreasing the risks of embolism. It enables the surgeon to use precise values of depth of cuts obtained from a system for obtaining optimum fit implant as described in patent application number 3896/MUM2015. This enables the surgeon to control precisely the placement of the implant in terms of flexion or extension, varus or valgus, internal or external rotation It also enables precise placement of the fourin-one cutting block simultaneously with the distal femur cut; ensuring precise placement of knee femoral component of the knee implant. This reduces efforts and time taken during the surgery.
