Publication number: 20250049467Abstract: A method of suturing a trocar path incision in a tissue of a patient with an obturator includes inserting the obturator through the tissue such that a shaft of the obturator extends through a tissue opening about the trocar path incision and a distal tip of the obturator is positioned within a cavity of the patient. The method also includes directing the suture via a suturing feature with the obturator inserted through the tissue in order to direct the suture relative to the tissue. Furthermore, the method includes closing the tissue opening about the trocar path incision with the suture.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventors: Frederick E.

Publication number: 20240333577Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that can sort and prioritize anomalies and errors in a wireless communication system. An example can collect transaction data over a network for a first duration. A detection analysis using a detection algorithm can be run on the collected data to detect a number of events. Parameters can be provided and used to generate a trend moving average and a long-term moving average based on the number of detected events determined by the detection algorithm. For each of a number of sets of parameters, a trend moving average can be compared to a long-term moving average. Cases where the trend moving average exceeds the long-term moving average can be identified. For each identified case, a determination as to whether the case is long enough to be used can be made, and a severity score can be determined for each used case. The used cases can then be classified into several severity levels based on their severity scores.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: Anritsu CompanyInventors: Claudio Chiappetta, Nicolas Cornet, Brian Murray

Patent number: 11558326Abstract: A method of managing electronic media content items starts with a server system receiving a first electronic communication from a first client device in communication with the server system over a network. The server system then generates a first media content item based on the first electronic communication and causes the first media content item to be displayed on a display screen of a second client device. The server system receives a request from the second client device to store the first media content item and stores the first media content item in a storage that is associated with the first user and the second user. The server system then generates a notification to be displayed on a display screen of the first client device that indicates the first media content item is stored in the storage. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Brody, Michael Brian Murray, Jeremy Voss
