Publication number: 20240086180Abstract: An Internet of Things (IoT) device is deployed with embedded software that may comprise multiple components. After deployment, updated versions of one or more components of the embedded software may become available. The IoT device maintains a manifest of the installed components. Periodically, the IoT device requests an updated copy of the manifest from an upgrade server. The installed manifest and the updated manifest are compared to determine if updated versions of any components are available. If so, the IoT device requests only the components to be updated. Prior to beginning the copying of the upgraded components, an upgrade flag is set. The IoT device then begins copying the received components into memory, replaces the manifest with the updated manifest, and clears the upgrade flag.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Peter Hartley, Philip Michaelson-Yeates, Jonathan Williams, Hugo Fiennes, Tejas Patil, Joseph Birr-Pixton

Patent number: 11045647Abstract: A system and method for PEMF tissue engineering enhances musculoskeletal tissue stimulation by monitoring treatment for compliance with treatment regimens. A PEMF device includes sensors that detect attributes indicating whether the PEMF device is in use. The PEMF device also includes communication devices that connect it with other devices. The data obtained from the sensors may be used to determine a level of compliance in use of the tissue engineering device with a prescribed treatment regimen for the patient. The data is transferred via a paired UE to a remote server. The remote server stores the data in a database and periodically generates compliance reports. The compliance reports are shared with subscribing access devices including the prescribing physician. The UE pairing with the PEMF device maintains a treatment calendar and dynamically modifies reminders based on current treatment status. The treatment regimen may be updated and sent to the PEMF device.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: ORTHOFIX INC.Inventors: James T. Ryaby, Mamak Monica Keramat, Lesley Allen Bowling, Bobby Don Harris, James Sterling Denton, Philip Hartley Garman, Jeffrey James Culhane, Jonelle Matilda Juricek

Patent number: 6771516Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for removably securing one or more computer circuit boards to a computer chassis. In one embodiment, the apparatuses include a bracket having attached sites that can be selectively aligned with corresponding fastening sites of one or more types of printed circuit boards. The circuit boards can be attached to the bracket without tools and without threaded fasteners, and the bracket can be attached to the chassis also without tools and with out threaded fasteners. The circuit boards can be grounded to the chassis solely through a compressible conductive gasket that extends between the chassis and input/output connectors of the printed circuit boards.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1999Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Michael V. Leman, Gregory P. Johnson, R. Doug Smith, Craig L. Boe, Jacques Gagne, Philip Hartley

Patent number: 6430041Abstract: The present invention provides for an apparatus and method for cooling a computer component in a computer system. Some embodiments include single or multiple panels hinged to a chassis of the computer system to carry, locate, and temporarily reposition cooling fans within the computer system. Some disclosed methods provide for cooling of computer components through various combinations of cooling fans that are employed to move air into the system and subsequently move air over components of the system.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1999Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: MicronPC, LLCInventors: Gregory P. Johnson, Paul Petersen, Jacques Gagne, Philip Hartley, Ray Gradwohl

Patent number: 6356438Abstract: The present invention provides for an apparatus and method for retaining a circuit board in a computer system. Some embodiments include single or multiple panels hinged to a chassis of the computer that are used to retain circuit boards such as expansion boards. The panel, or portions of the panel, may contact a circuit board through a card retaining member that may be slidable relative to the panel. In some embodiments the card retaining member will only slide toward an expansion card when controls for the member are so arranged by an operator. Expansion cards may be released from retention by movement of the panel away from the expansion cards, and in some cases by movement of the card retaining members away from the expansion cards.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1999Date of Patent: March 12, 2002Assignee: Micron PC, LLCInventors: Michael V. Leman, Craig L. Boe, Jacques Gagne, Philip Hartley, Ray Gradwohl

Patent number: 6222735Abstract: Minitower computers and housings for protecting the internal and external hardware components of minitower computers. In one embodiment, a minitower computer housing includes a component panel, an under section extending rearwardly from the component panel, and a cover section connected to the component panel and the under section. The housing of this embodiment also includes a first tilt member depending from the under section to tilt the front panel. The first tilt member includes a vent to provide airflow through the computer housing. The first tilt member, for example, can have a front surface extending downwardly from the component panel to a bottom region and a back surface extending upwardly from the bottom region to the under section. The vent can be an opening in the back surface of the tilt member to direct sound waves rearwardly away from a user.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1999Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: Micron Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Michael Leman, Jacques Gagne, Philip Hartley, Ray Gradwohl
