  • Patent number: 11962233
    Abstract: An isolated gate driver has a first portion in a first voltage domain and a second portion in a second voltage domain. The first and second portions are coupled by an isolation communication channel. The isolated gate driver transmits across the isolation communication channel a serial word containing first drive strength information and simultaneously transmits gate information with the serial word across the isolation communication channel. The gate information indicates a state of a gate signal for a transistor coupled to the second portion of the isolated gate driver. A demodulator circuit demodulates a signal containing the gate information and the drive strength information transmitted across the isolation communication channel in the serial word. A gate signal output circuit coupled to the demodulator circuit supplies the gate signal based on the gate information with a drive strength of the gate signal being based on the drive strength information.

  • Publication number: 20240114060
    Abstract: Systems and methods for remote monitoring of a Security Operations Center (SOC) via a mobile application are provided. According to one embodiment, a management service retrieves information regarding multiple network elements that are associated with an enterprise network and extracts parameters of the monitored network elements from the retrieved information. The management service prioritizes the monitored network elements by determining a severity level associated with security-related issues of the network elements and generates various monitoring views that summarize in real time various categories of potential security-related issues detected by the SOC. Further, the management service assigns a priority to each monitoring view and displays a video on the display device that cycles through monitoring views in accordance with their respective assigned priorities.

  • Publication number: 20240081843
    Abstract: Systems, techniques, and devices are described that may be used in a minimally invasive bone realignment procedure. In some examples, a method of performing a minimally invasive metatarsal correction procedure involves using a bone preparation guide having a guide surface with a length less than a diameter of a bone to be cut using the guide surface. The clinician can guide a bone preparation instrument along the guide surface and angle the bone preparation instrument beyond one or both ends of the guide surface to cut the end of the underlying bone beyond one or both of the ends.

  • Publication number: 20240087064
    Abstract: In some implementations, a reliability modeler may receive a plurality of webpages associated with a first entity from an Internet scraping device. The reliability modeler may detect, within the plurality of webpages, at least one of a logo, a font, or a color. The reliability modeler may apply a model, trained on a set of guidelines associated with the first entity, to the logo, the font, or the color. Accordingly, the reliability modeler may determine, based on output from the model, that the plurality of webpages are unlikely to be authorized by the first entity. The reliability modeler may transmit, to a user device, an alert based on determining that the plurality of webpages are unlikely to be associated with the first entity.

  • Publication number: 20240081816
    Abstract: An orthopedic implant system can be used to fixate two bones (e.g., to portions of a single bone) relative to each other during a surgical procedure. In some configurations, the implant system includes a staple having at least two legs separated by a bridge. The staple can include at least two couplings on either side of the bridge accessible through a top surface of the staple connectable to two corresponding coupling shafts. The coupling shafts can attach through the top surface of the staple without extending below an underside of the staple. The coupling shafts can be used to bias the at least two legs of the staple away from each other for insertion into holes formed into two bones. By attaching the coupling shafts through the top of the staple, the staple can be inserted flush with the two bones before releasing the shafts.
