  • Patent number: 11351636
    Abstract: The invention discloses a laser engraving machine, comprising a casing, a processing platform, a laser engraving head, a laser emitter, and a red light projector, the platform is disposed in the casing, and has a lateral moving trajectory and a longitudinal moving trajectory; the longitudinal trajectory is disposed on one side of the platform, the lateral trajectory is spanned thereon; one end of the lateral trajectory is connected with the longitudinal trajectory, the other is engaged with the platform side; the head is disposed on the lateral trajectory and can move along it. The invention has reasonable structure and convenient use. By adding a working panel, the device can process hard and soft material products, meeting more requirements; by changing the external fan to the built-in fan and smoke exhaust chamber, the installation is simple, the exhaust effect is better, while the proportion of damage during transportation is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11141285
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an orthopedic device and method for carpal fusion that provides bone to bone compression and multiple fixation points to decrease multiple degrees of freedom and motion of carpal bones. The device is biocompatible, resistant to corrosion, and sufficient in mechanical strength. Bone to bone compression and fixation points can be increased by using a first set of fasteners in a peripheral portion of the device to couple through the device into bone structure, and a second set of fasteners in a central portion of the device can be coupled through the device into the bone structure.

  • Patent number: 10956960
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein, which utilize a combination of batch-processing and on-demand processing to provide recommendations, can include database(s) that store client data, item data, and executable code for composable algorithms that utilize the client data and/or the item data to provide recommendations. The system also includes a batch-process results data store that stores results of composable algorithms executed using batch-processing. Additionally, the system includes an algorithm engine that accepts calls to composable algorithms and output results thereof. The algorithm engine determines which called composable algorithms are designated as being executable using batch-processing, and which are designated as being executable using on-demand processing.

  • Patent number: 9619285
    Abstract: Provided is a method for managing operation requests using different resources. In one embodiment, a first queue is provided for operations which utilize a first resource of a first and second resource. A second queue is provided for operations which utilize the second resource. An operation is queued on the first queue until the first resource is acquired. The first resource is released if the second resource is not also acquired. The operation is queued on the second queue when the first resource is acquired but the second resource is not. In addition, the first resource is released until the operation acquires both the first resource and the second resource.

  • Patent number: 9600220
    Abstract: A process provides a multi-device display configuration. The process receives, at a master device, one or more device parameters from a plurality of display devices. The process also determines, at the master device, an arrangement of the plurality of display devices that provides a multi-device display. Further, the process sends, from the master device, one or more display indicia to the plurality of display devices that each of the plurality of display devices displays to allow one or more users to position the plurality of display devices in the arrangement. The process sends, from the master device, a first portion of the content to a first display device, and a second portion of the content to a second display device for the first and second display devices to simultaneously display the first and second portions of the content.
