  • Electrosurgical generator
    Patent number: 10342606
    Abstract: This invention relates to high-frequency ablation of tissue in the body using a cooled high-frequency electrode connected to a high frequency generator including a computer graphic control system and an automatic controller for control the signal output from the generator, and adapted to display on a real time graphic display a measured parameter related to the ablation process and visually monitor the variation of the parameter of the signal output that is controlled by the controller during the ablation process. In one example, one or more measured parameters are displayed simultaneously to visually interpret the relation of their variation and values. In one example, the displayed one or more parameters can be taken from the list of measured voltage, current, power, impedance, electrode temperature, and tissue temperature related to the ablation process.

  • Systems and methods for sanitizing surfaces
    Patent number: 10335508
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sanitization of surfaces, such as hands, are provided. In general, the described techniques utilize a system including a housing having an active agent receptacle in fluid communication with at least one nozzle, and an air pump in fluid communication with the at least one nozzle. The system also includes a control module configured to control the delivery of an active agent as an aerosol spray through the at least one nozzle in a delivery dose. The delivery dose is expelled onto the surface as a thin uniform layer and dried such that the entire surface sanitization process is completed in less than or equal to 5 seconds. The active agent receptacle can be configured to receive a removable and replaceable cartridge carrying the active agent.

    Publication number: 20190120876
    Abstract: Improved electrically conductive guide plates for vertical probe arrays are provided by patterning a thin metal layer disposed on an insulating substrate. Holes passing through the guide plate for guiding probes can be electrically connected or isolated from each other in any pattern according to the deposition of the metal. Such structures can include several distinct ground and/or voltage planes. Furthermore, passive electrical components can be included in the guide plate, by patterning of the deposited metal and/or by integration of passive electrical components with the deposited metal traces.

  • BREAK-BASED INVENTORY FORECASTING
    Publication number: 20180374035
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for advantageously forecasting an inventory of a product having a particular duration (e.g., video content). The technique can include determining the particular configuration (e.g., maximum number of impressions, maximum amount of time permitted) of breaks identified within an impression log. Based on the number of breaks and the configurations of the breaks, the technique can forecast a future inventory of the product. In some implementations, the disclosed technique can identify an amount of a previous break that was not filled with video content. These forecasts can enable product sellers to better communicate with their customers, negotiate supply contracts, price their products, plan for business operations, etc.

  • CAMERAS AND DEPTH ESTIMATION OF IMAGES ACQUIRED IN A DISTORTING MEDIUM
    Publication number: 20180286066
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for depth estimation in image or video obtained from a distorting medium. In the method, a pixel blurriness map is calculated. A rough depth map is then determined from the pixel blurriness map while assuming depth in a small local patch is uniform. The rough depth map is then refined. The method can be implemented in imaging systems, such as cameras or imaging processing computers, and the distorting medium can be an underwater medium, haze, fog, low lighting, or a sandstorm, for example. Preferred embodiments determined the blurriness map by calculating a difference between an original image and multi-scale Gaussian-filtered images to estimate the pixel blurriness map.

  • Fastener-Installation Systems and Methods
    Publication number: 20180215018
    Abstract: A fastener-installation system is described that includes a driver to drive a fastener into a structure and a fastener feeder to load the fastener into a loaded position of the driver. The fastener feeder includes a fastener magazine to hold a plurality of fasteners. The fastener-installation system further includes a driver head having a plurality of jaws moveable between a closed position and an expanded position. In the closed position, the plurality of jaws form a piercing tip to pierce material of the structure. Further, the jaws spread apart the material of the structure when the jaws move from the closed position to the expanded position to create a path through the material through which the fastener is driven.
