  • Publication number: 20250105932
    Abstract: Techniques for determining calibration data associated with a radio frequency (RF) testing environment are discussed herein. For example, an RF signal can be input to the RF enclosure and selectively applied to discrete attenuators. The attenuators can attenuate a strength of the signal and a signal strength can be measured by various user equipment (UEs) that are located within an RF enclosure. In some examples, a plurality of measured reference signal received power (RSRP) values can be determined by a plurality of UEs associated with a particular attenuation level. Different attenuation levels can be measured, and an average attenuation can be determined for attenuation steps. Measured attenuation steps can be extrapolated to other attenuation levels to expedite the calibration process. Then, a testing plan can be applied to the RF enclosure and the calibration data can be used to ensure accurate signals for testing UEs.

  • Patent number: 12202081
    Abstract: Disclosed are welding systems and methods for conducting a completed circuit testing process. The welding system includes a power source to deliver power via one or more power outlets. Control circuitry receives an input to initiate a welding process and to command the power source to deliver a power signal with a current below a threshold level. The control circuitry monitors characteristics of the power signal at the one or more power outlets and determines whether a completed circuit condition exists. The control circuitry performs this determination based on information obtained through monitoring the characteristics of the power signal. The control circuitry controls the power source to prevent delivery of power if a completed circuit condition exists.

  • Publication number: 20240424280
    Abstract: The disclosed principles prevent over pressurization of harvested veins by controlling the amount and consistency of pressure applied through the veins from a continuous flow of fluid. This combination of regulated pressurization and continuity/uniformity in the pressure applied through veins is provided using a preparation pump constructed in accordance with the disclosed principles. In some embodiments the pump incorporates a spiral spring to deliver fluids from a bladder within the pump and through a vessel cannula inserted into the grafted vein, and in other embodiments the pump incorporates magnets to compress the bladder. The disclosed apparatus provides only a limited amount of pressure such that no injury is caused to the vein. Pressure and flow are limited and maintained constant, i.e.

  • Publication number: 20240424200
    Abstract: The disclosed principles provide a vein graft preparation pump, and related methods of use and manufacturing thereof, providing a constant and uniform pressure of fluid flowed through a vein graft being prepared for use in a bypass procedure. An exemplary pump includes a syringe holder having an opening for holding a syringe body, and a slot formed within the opening for receiving a flange of the syringe body. The syringe holder also includes left and right side rails, and a spring housing coupled to rear ends of the side rails to secure the rear end of a spring therein. A plunger depressor includes a back in contact with the front end of the spring, and a front having a plunger base for engaging a syringe plunger. Decompression of the spring moves the plunger depressor along the syringe holder during use of the pump thereby providing constant and uniform pressure depressing said syringe plunger.
