  • Patent number: 11779693
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may relate to dressings configured to provide negative-pressure wound therapy to a tissue site, while simultaneously shielding a portion of the tissue site from the negative pressure. For example, dressing assembly embodiments may comprise an outer dressing configured for applying negative-pressure wound therapy to a tissue site, and an underlying isolation patch configured for use under the outer dressing. The isolation patch may be configured to seal the portion of the tissue site so that it does not experience the negative pressure. Additionally disclosed are other apparatus, dressings, systems, and methods.

  • Patent number: 10857449
    Abstract: A dice angle game is played on an apparatus that has a playing surface, at least one side wall, at least one barrier within the playing area, at least one demarcated scoring area, at least one enhanced scoring area of sufficient size for at least one die to enter, and a plurality of dice. The game is played by rolling a dice against a side wall and trying to have it land in a scoring area.

  • Patent number: 4860228
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for storing a count of incrementally increasing data exclusively in EEPROM using semaphores to avoid significant losses, as a result of power downs, greater than a single least significant bit in accuracy. The disclosed embodiment includes a first EEPROM register, comprised of 256 bits, for storing 256 incremental count increases, each bit is used to record an incremental count increase. A pair of 16 bit EEPROM registers is provided for incrementally storing updated count information in response to the first EEPROM register overflowing. Semaphores are provided for indicating whether or not the incrementally increasing count information has been at least partially stored in the pair of registers. Once an overflow from the first register is detected, the semaphores are checked to determine in what stage the update to the pair of registers was left (in case of power down).
