  • Patent number: 12290274
    Abstract: A medical device system configured to dynamically control a shaver window opening via controlling positioning of an opening in an inner drive shaft relative to an opening in an outer housing based on continuously tracking the motor is disclosed. The medical device system may include a shaver at a distal end and an aspiration system configured to aspirate material through the inner drive shaft. A processor of the medical device system may control rotational motion of the inner drive shaft based on continuously sensing the position of the opening in the inner drive shaft to reduce clogs and increase cutting effectiveness of the system. By continuously monitoring the medical device system, the processor can correct out of phase conditions in oscillation mode to prevent poor cutting conditions. The processor can also dynamically determine a reversal position on the opening in the inner drive shaft to create a desired cutting action.

  • Publication number: 20250134544
    Abstract: A rotary surgical shaver includes an outer housing forming an outer cutting window at a distal end portion. A rotary member extends through the outer housing and in connection with a motor at a proximal end portion and forms a plurality of cutting windows comprising a first window and a second window at the distal end portion. A controller is configured to control the motor to position the rotary member over a first angular range aligned with the first window defining a first cutting sequence and control the motor to position the rotary member over a second angular range aligned with the second window defining a second cutting sequence. The controller is further configured to selectively adjust a duty cycle between the first cutting sequence and the second cutting sequence.

  • Publication number: 20140337711
    Abstract: Automatically generating a fully functional website from multiple different third-party websites associated with a common user may include receiving input identifying multiple third-party websites, establishing communication with the multiple third-party websites, aggregating existing digital content residing at each of the third-party websites, generating a new website based on at least some of the aggregated existing digital content, and deploying the generated new website. Changes made to the content at the new website may be propagated back to the original websites from which the content originated, thereby keeping the user's information consistent and up-to-date across multiple platforms.
