Patent number: 11707322Abstract: The present invention relates to systems for use for radio frequency ablation. The systems can include one or more of an ablation tool, power source for use with the ablation tool and a backstop for use in conjunction with the ablation tool during surgical procedures. Preferred ablation tools comprise a series of three or more blade-shaped electrodes disposed in a linear, curved, curvilinear or circular array. The backstops are useful for reducing direct physical and thermal heat transfer injuries to the patient or surgeon during procedures using radiofrequency (RF) ablation devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2022Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Medical Engineering Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Steven Charles Southwell, Joshua Cook, Tim Holzmann, David Strait, Richard Schmidt

Patent number: 10751758Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of dynamically sorting items for delivery to diverse destinations in which at least one target location changes during the sorting process using an electronic array that correlates diverse destinations to target locations for sorting, wherein the electronic array changes based upon criteria relating to the results of the sort resulting in the removal of a first set of items from one target location while leaving a second set in the target location and placing the first set in another target location to adapt to the changed array and thereafter continuing to sort further items according to the changed array while some items remain in their initial target locations.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2017Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Engineering Innovation, Inc.Inventor: Ronald Robbins

Patent number: 10713520Abstract: A glare reducing optical recognition system that recognizes alphanumeric text wherein the system includes a first light emitter that emits light in a first direction and a second light emitter that emits light in a second direction different from the first direction. The system includes an image capturing device that captures a first image of alphanumeric text illuminated by the first light emitter emitting light in the first direction, and a second image of the alphanumeric text illuminated by the second light emitter emitting light in the second direction. The system includes an image processor that constructs a glare reduced image by comparing sections of the first image with corresponding sections of the second image and selecting the section with the least luminosity to populate the corresponding section of the glare reduced image. The system may include a character recognition processor, a label producing apparatus, and/or a conveyance system.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Engineering Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Rebecca Irrgang, Dale McCoy
