  • Publication number: 20240115449
    Abstract: An embodiment of a storage device for medical products includes a cabinet defining an enclosure having a plurality of compartments. In addition, the storage device includes a plurality of storage containers, each storage container configured to be inserted into a corresponding one of the plurality of compartments. Further, the storage device includes an actuation assembly including a plurality of arms that are configured to engage the plurality of storage containers so as to secure the plurality of storage containers in the plurality of compartments. Still further, the storage device includes a release mechanism that is configured to simultaneously actuate each of the plurality of arms to release the plurality of storage containers from the plurality of compartments.

  • Patent number: 10476129
    Abstract: A rotatable antenna mount for mounting an antenna to a structure includes a mounting bracket, an antenna rotation assembly and an antenna mounting pole. The mounting bracket includes a base and two sidewalls that together define an opening into which the structure is received. An adjustment clamp is inserted through one of the sidewalls of the base and mounts the mounting bracket to the structure situated within the space. The antenna mounting pole is mounted to the rotation assembly. The antenna rotation assembly is situated on the mounting bracket and includes at least two rotation brackets that are hingedly joined to one another so that the antenna mounting pole to which an antenna is mounted may be selectively moved in at least two dimensions.

  • Publication number: 20140143657
    Abstract: Topical subjects are identified from search terms that are submitted by users registering for alerts. In one implementation, registration requests to transmit email alerts to a user are received and stored. Topical subjects are identified based on an analysis of the email alerts that were registered in a predetermined time frame.

  • Patent number: 6410934
    Abstract: An electronic fast switch for operation at room temperature utilizing uniform silicon nanoparticles (˜1 nm with about 1 part per thousand exceeding 1 nm) between two conducting electrodes. The silicon nanoparticles, when on an n-type silicon substrate exhibit, at zero bias, a large differential conductance, approaching near full transparency. The conductance is observed after one of the electrode is first biased at a voltage in the range 3 to 5 eV (switching voltage), otherwise the device does not conduct (closed). A practical MOSFET switch of the invention includes the silicon nanoparticles in a body of the MOSFET, with the gate and substrate forming the two conducting electrodes. Electrodes may be realized by metal in other switches of the invention.
