Publication number: 20240148328Abstract: An intervertebral implant includes a body adapted to be implanted into an intervertebral space of a patient, the body defining a fusion aperture, and at least one cartridge with each cartridge disposed in the body and at least partially extending into the fusion aperture. Each cartridge includes an impedance sensor configured to measure electrical resistance, a radio frequency (RF) transmit antenna configured to transmit a RF signal, and circuitry for recording data from the impedance sensor and transmit the recorded data to an external clinician computing device through the RF transmit antenna. Such collection and use of data can be used to provide improved orthopedic outcomes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Shane Fedon, Mike Serra, Robert German, Matthew Jacobs, Michael Brotman, Greg Marik, Jeremiah Beers

Patent number: 10616747Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for determining and managing the location of a calling device during an emergency call. A computing device at a data store establishes a connection with a computing device at a public safety access point (PSAP). The connection is established upon activation of an emergency function at a calling device coupled to the computing device at the PSAP via a first communications channel. The calling device is associated with a unique identifier. The computing device at the data store receives location data for the calling device, where the calling device streams the location data to the data store via a second communications channel upon activation of the emergency function. The computing device at the data store makes the location data for the calling device available to the computing device at the PSAP using the unique identifier.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2019Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Rave Wireless, Inc.Inventors: William Todd Piett, Matthew A. Serra, Brett Wilfred Marceau

Patent number: 10341494Abstract: An approach to managing emergency response data for providing in response to an emergency call makes use of different management approaches depending on the source of the data. For example, data provided directly by the individual to whom the data refers may be handled in one way, while data provided indirectly by an entity or other individual may be handled in another way. Information provided indirectly may be validated and/or its source indicated when presented to an emergency responder.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2012Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: RAVE WIRLESS, INC.Inventors: William Todd Piett, Matthew A.
