Patent number: 11980413Abstract: An interface joint with one or both of a needle actuation mechanism or an integrated shaft rotation mechanism. The interface joint comprises a flexible shaft between a housing and an electrosurgical instrument, e.g. for conveying power and/or fluid therebetween. The needle actuation mechanism comprises an actuation rod extending out of the housing and an actuator movably mounted on the housing. The shaft rotation mechanism comprises a rotation actuator rotatably mounted on the housing and operably coupled to the flexible shaft. Providing an integrated shaft rotation mechanism may obviate the need for a separate torque transmission unit. The improved needle actuation mechanism may use a pivoting connection to enable longer needle extension distances to be achieved for a given actuation distance.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: CREO MEDICAL LIMITEDInventors: Christopher Paul Hancock, Rohan Monico, Huw Hopkins, Tom Craven, Steve Morris

Publication number: 20220335106Abstract: A cloud-native content management system includes a content file system for storing digital content to be accessed via the Internet using a compute device. The system includes an authentication and authorization service that applies rules of granular access controls among a group of specified individuals. Using a token-based, temporary access process, authorized individuals are provided direct access to selected digital content in order to bypass time-restriction limitations that traditionally prevent the streaming of large data files. The system is additionally designed to support the interactive, online editing of stored software models by authorized users. As part of the modeling process, model change requests are submitted by authorized individuals using user-intuitive, domain-specific language. Thereafter, the software model is temporarily locked while the change request is validated for correctness and compatibility.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Haralambos Marmanis, Simon Hutchinson, Rich Hart, Tom Morris, Stuart Leyland-Cole

Patent number: 10090615Abstract: A dielectric housing with a forward mating portion, a flange and a rear portion. The forward mating portion is receivable in a cutout in a mounting panel. The flange extends from the housing and is dimensioned larger than the cutout. The rear portion has a rear face with terminal-receiving cavities extending inwardly through the rear face. A top surface of the forward mating portion extends from the flange at an obtuse angle, the top surface is essentially perpendicular to a forward mating face of the forward mating portion of the housing. The terminal-receiving cavities extend from the rear face to the forward mating face, with the longitudinal axis of the terminal-receiving receiving cavities extending in a straight line. The forward mating face of the housing is angled relative to the flange and the mounting panel to prevent condensation from occurring on the forward mating face.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY CORPORATIONInventors: Chong Hun Yi, Tom Morris

Patent number: 7083525Abstract: A golf club head comprising an integral toe, heel and center section, with the center section including a cavity. The center section is structured so that the majority of the weight of the golf club head is positioned at the toe and heel. One embodiment of the golf club head includes an insert located in the cavity and a second insert is located in the golf ball striking face of the golf club head. The inserts, alone and in combination, increase the feel transmitted through the golf club head to the golfer.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2001Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Roger Cleveland Golf Company, Inc.Inventors: Brian Pond, Andre Shmoldas, Tom Morris, Jim McGeeney

Patent number: 6692378Abstract: The present invention relates to a golf club having a golf club head with a channel on the head. The golf club head may be a putter-type club head that is used to putt the golf ball on a green. The use of the channel on the club head provides a mass distribution that can result in a high moment of inertia so that the club head resists twisting in the player's hand when the club head strikes a golf ball. The channel also assists a player in aligning the club head to strike a golf ball. The channel may be located on the upper face of the club head so that the player can see the channel when addressing a golf ball with the golf club. The channel extends from a front, strike face of the club head to a rear face of the club head and is preferably aligned with an axis that corresponds to the desired direction of travel of a golf ball that is struck with the club head.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2002Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Roger Cleveland Golf Company, Inc.Inventors: Andre Shmoldas, Brian Pond, Jim McGeeney, Tom Morris
