  • Patent number: 12190139
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device performs a detection stage of an automated instrumentation pipeline during which the device detects an application server type by examining a command line of a process of an application. The device performs, based on the application server type, an extraction stage of the automated instrumentation pipeline during which the device extracts application server attributes. The device performs, based on the application server attributes, a naming stage of the automated instrumentation pipeline during which the device forms a naming hierarchy for processes of the application. The detection stage, the extraction stage, and the naming stage of the automated instrumentation pipeline do not have access to a controlled space of the application. The device inserts, based in part on the naming hierarchy, arguments into command lines of processes of the application that cause the processes of the application to be instrumented at runtime.

  • Patent number: 12153444
    Abstract: A technique relates to route planning. Points associated with a start location and a destination location are received. It is determined whether the points comprise one or more hard points, one or more soft points, or both. At least one obstruction to avoid is determined. A route is autonomously generated comprising the points and segments associated with the points, the segments comprising rhumb lines, great-circle arcs, or both. Responsive to the points comprising the one or more soft points, the at least one obstruction is avoided by permitting a distance associated with the one or more soft points to be reached and adding at least one free waypoint. Responsive to the points comprising the one or more hard points, the at least one obstruction is avoided by requiring the one or more hard points to be reached and adding the at least one free waypoint.

  • Patent number: 11911707
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a rotatable play device that comprises a central support post, a hub rotatably mounted to an upper end of the central support post, and an arm assembly attached to the hub and comprising a plurality of arms, a seat being suspended from the distal end of each of the plurality of arms. Rotation of the hub about the central support post causes the plurality of seats to rotate around the central support post in a substantially circular rotation path. Each of the seats may also be configured to move up and down by way of a spring assembly or a plurality of springs. Two or more seats may share the up-and-down movement in an alternating manner or each seat may be configured to have an independent up-and-down movement. In addition, each of the seats may optionally be configured to swing in substantial alignment with the circular rotation path and/or to swing outward due to centripetal forces created by the circular rotation path.

  • Publication number: 20230083181
    Abstract: A suture anchor comprises a tubular body having an axial bore therethrough and having one or more purchase enhancements on an exterior surface of the body adapted to enhance purchase of the body within a bone hole, such as threads. A lateral port passes through the body from the bore to the exterior surface and is formed of a slot entering the body from its proximal end. A length of suture for attaching soft tissue to bone passes down along the exterior surface over the one or more purchase enhancements, over a distal end of the body, up into the bore through and then back out of the bore and up along the exterior surface over the one or more purchase enhancements.

  • Patent number: 11592843
    Abstract: A technique relates to autonomous obstacle avoidance. A vehicle is controlled on a route to a destination, the route being a three-dimensional route. An obstruction is determined on the global route. A local route including alternate points to avoid the obstruction is autonomously determined. The local route is autonomously converged back to the global route in response to avoiding the obstruction.

  • Patent number: 11390867
    Abstract: The present invention relates to conjugates comprising (a) an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) and (b) at least one G-quadruplex structure, wherein the ASO and the at least one G-quadruplex structure are heterologous to each other. The G-quadruplex of the conjugate may be further conjugated with ligands or functional moieties for addressable delivery and enhanced properties including potency and therapeutic index. Further encompassed are such conjugates for use as a medicament, a method of modulating the stability, translation, splicing, cleavage, or activity of a target nucleic acid molecule using such conjugates, and use of G-quadruplex in stabilizing antisense oligonucleotides.

  • Patent number: 11185020
    Abstract: A hand cropping tool includes arm members that have handle portions and jaw portions. The jaw portions include curved surfaces that are at least partially covered by deformable materials. The hand cropping tool is configured to be moved from an open configuration in which the first and second jaw members are spaced apart from one another and a closed configuration in which at least a portion of the first jaw member is in contact with at least a portion of the second jaw member. In the closed configuration, the first and second deformable materials collectively define at least one first plant-receiving area.

  • Patent number: 11168791
    Abstract: A jaw nut of a vise has a threaded bore with at least one opening on an end face. The jaw nut includes an inner annular groove concentric with a centerline of the threaded bore. The inner annular groove has a radius larger than a radius of the at least one opening from the centerline so as to provide at least a portion of an annular flange about the at least one opening having an inner annular surface facing in a direction opposite the end face. A threaded screw supported for rotation on the vise body threadably engages the threaded bore of the jaw nut. A brush seal is disposed in the inner annular groove with an outwardly facing annular surface engaging the inner annular surface of the inner annular groove.
