  • Knotless suture anchor and methods of use
    Patent number: 11000267
    Abstract: Various devices, systems and methods for knotless suturing of tissue are disclosed. These devices allow sutures to be anchored to bone, and more specifically provide a suture anchor which eliminates the need for knotting the suture. Thus, damaged tissue may be re-attached to a substrate tissue. The anchors have a minimum of moving parts may be suited to being a single molded polymer construction. The anchors will find particular utility in hip and shoulder arthroscopy, e.g. labral re-attachment and similar procedures.

    Patent number: 11002064
    Abstract: A system for reversibly dividing a space is disclosed. A first panel consists of a first vertical member and a first horizontal member attached perpendicular to a bottom end of the first vertical member and extends away from the first vertical member towards a second panel. The second panel consists of a second vertical member and a second horizontal member attached perpendicular to a top end of the second vertical member and extends away from the second vertical member towards the first panel. The first and second panel can be stored in an overhead position. The space is reversibly divided when the first panel and the second panel are lowered. The first panel is lowered such that the first panel forms a top portion of a wall. The second panel is lowered until the second horizontal member rests on the first horizontal member, forming a bottom portion of the wall.

  • Food processor dampen system
    Patent number: 11000159
    Abstract: A vibration damper system used in a food processor to reduce the vibration of a high power motor that has varying speed cycles is disclosed. The motor is suspended from a ceiling that is mounted to the motor base through a plurality of bolted joints. The bolted joints are surrounded by a grommet that has a unique shape. The grommet comprises generally three parts, which are an upper portion, a middle portion, and a lower portion. The middle portion is smaller than other portion so that it creates a recess for the ceiling to be sandwiched between the grommet. In a preferred embodiment, the lower portion of the grommet further comprises a plurality of petal members that provide a non-uniform spring rate to the grommet so that the grommet is adapted best to reduce the upward impulse of the motor. The food processor also contains a novel air ventilation system.

  • Enhancing cybersecurity and operational monitoring with alert confidence assignments
    Patent number: 11003766
    Abstract: Tools and techniques are described to automate triage of security and operational alerts. Insight instances extracted from raw event data associated with an alert are aggregated, vectorized, and assigned confidence scores through classification based on machine learning. Confidence scoring enables heavily loaded administrators and controls to focus attention and resources where they are most likely to protect or improve the functionality of a monitored system. Feature vectors receive a broad base in the underlying instance values through aggregation, even when the number of instance values is unknown prior to receipt of the event data. Visibility into the confidence scoring process may be provided, to allow tuning or inform further training of a classifier model. Performance metrics are defined, and production level performance may be achieved.
