  • Publication number: 20240107665
    Abstract: Electronic devices that include a routing substrate with lower inductance path for a capacitor, and related fabrication methods. In exemplary aspects, to provide lower interconnect inductance for a capacitor coupled to a power distribution network in the routing substrate, an additional metal layer that provides an additional, second power plane is disposed in a dielectric layer between adjacent metal layers in adjacent metallization layers. The additional, second power plane is adjacent to a first power plane disposed in a first metal layer of one of the adjacent metallization layers. The disposing of the additional metal layer in the dielectric layer of the metallization layer reduces the thickness of the dielectric material between the first and second power planes coupled to the capacitor as part of the power distribution network. This reduced dielectric thickness between first and second power planes coupled to the capacitor reduces the interconnect inductance for the capacitor.

  • Publication number: 20240074829
    Abstract: Tissue access devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. The devices can have a sensor configured to occlude a flow path by deflecting a membrane into the flow path when the devices become dislodged from tissue. The sensor can be configured to partially or fully occlude the flow path. The sensor can have a spring. The spring can be biased to move the sensor from a sensor first configuration to a sensor second configuration when a force applied by the sensor first surface against a non-sensor surface changes from a first force to a second force less than the first force. The membrane can be deflected into the flow path when the sensor is in the sensor second configuration.

  • Patent number: 11918331
    Abstract: A movement detection device includes a signal transmission device configured to transmit a radar signal transmission toward a target area and to receive reflected radar signals, and a signal analysis device configured to analyze the reflected radar signals to detect a movement in the target area that is indicative of micro-shivering. In response to detecting the micro-shivering, the movement detection device generates an alarm.

  • Publication number: 20230090325
    Abstract: An eating utensil having a fork head that includes a plurality of tines and a concave fork bowl portion is described. One or both of the outer tines include a chamfered or tapered surface that extends laterally inward from a curved outer edge of the corresponding outer tine such that the curved tine/fork head edge acts as a splitting feature. In some embodiments one or both of the curved fork head edges that act as a splitting feature is/are smooth. In some embodiments, the eating utensil is formed of a glass reinforced thermoplastic material such as a glass filled nylon.

  • Patent number: 11540654
    Abstract: A combination spoon and fork system capable of being stored in a nested configuration or used as a combination eating utensil with the spoon and fork connected end to end. An interlocking mechanism can interlock the spoon and fork in either the nested position or in the end to end configuration. The interlocking system allows the handle of the spoon to slide between rails on the handle of the fork and to snap and lock the spoon in place either nested with the fork or end to end with the fork to form an elongated combination eating utensil. The spoon and fork of the system can also be used separately from one another.

  • Patent number: 10356587
    Abstract: A wearable device, such as a smartwatch, may be used to enable switching of network services between endpoints. The switching of network services may include transferring the telephone number associated with a user's account to a particular active device, selected from a number of possible devices, of the user. The switching may be based on a number of factors and coordinated through the wearable device. The factors may include, for example, the location of the user, the location of the user relative to the user's endpoints, user provided priority information, and/or other user-specified profile information relating to endpoint preferences.
