Publication number: 20240148429Abstract: A method for determining motional branch current in an ultrasonic transducer of an ultrasonic surgical device over multiple frequencies of a transducer drive signal. The method may comprise, at each of a plurality of frequencies of the transducer drive signal, oversampling a current and voltage of the transducer drive signal, receiving, by a processor, the current and voltage samples, and determining, by the processor, the motional branch current based on the current and voltage samples, a static capacitance of the ultrasonic transducer and the frequency of the transducer drive signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Eitan T. Wiener, Jeffrey L. Aldridge, Brian T. Noyes, Jeffrey D. Messerly, James R. Giordano, Robert J. Beetel, III, Nathan J. Price, Matthew C. Miller, Jeffrey P. Wiley, Daniel W. Price, Robert L.

Patent number: 11979721Abstract: A wearable device can provide an audio module that is operable to provide audio output from a distance away from the ears of the user. For example, the wearable device can be worn on clothing of the user and direct audio waves to the ears of the user. Such audio waves can be focused by a parametric array of speakers that limit audibility by others. Thus, the privacy of the audio directed to the user can be maintained without requiring the user to wear audio headsets on, over, or in the ears of the user. The wearable device can further include microphones and/or connections to other devices that facilitate calibration of the audio module of the wearable device. The wearable device can further include user sensors that are configured to detect, measure, and/or track one or more properties of the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Daniel A. Podhajny, Joshua A. Hoover, Nicholas R. Trincia, Yue Chen, Seul Bi Kim, Chad J. Miller, Kristen L. Cretella, Yi Zou, William Leith

Patent number: 11943679Abstract: Location mapping and navigation user interfaces may be generated and presented via mobile computing devices. A mobile device may detect its location and orientation using internal systems, and may capture image data using a device camera. The mobile device also may retrieve map information from a map server corresponding to the current location of the device. Using the image data captured at the device, the current location data, and the corresponding local map information, the mobile device may determine or update a current orientation reading for the device. Location errors and updated location data also may be determined for the device, and a map user interface may be generated and displayed on the mobile device using the updated device orientation and/or location data.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Robert William Mayor, Isaac T. Miller, Adam S. Howell, Vinay R. Majjigi, Oliver Ruepp, Daniel Ulbricht, Oleg Naroditsky, Christian Lipski, Sean P. Cier, Hyojoon Bae, Saurabh Godha, Patrick J. Coleman

Patent number: 11128568Abstract: A packet is analyzed at an outbound end of a tunnel from a first data network to determine whether the packet is directed to a first remote target in a first remote data network over a first tunnel or to a second remote target in a second remote data network over a second tunnel. A target address of the packet is present in both the first remote data network and the second remote data network. When the packet is to be directed to the first remote target in the first remote data network, an octet in the target address of the packet is changed from a first value to a second value, the changing forming a modified packet. When the second value is stored in the octet, the modified packet is caused to be sent to the tunnel for delivery to the second data network.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Eric M. Anderson, Susan A. Hearn, Linwood E. Loving, Martin G. Mclaughlin, Daniel R. Miller, John B. Simmons

Patent number: 11025542Abstract: At an outbound end of a tunnel from a first data network, a packet is analyzed to determine whether the packet is to be directed to a local target in the first data network or to be sent over the tunnel to a remote target in a second data network. A target address of the packet is present in both the first data network and the second data network. When the packet is to be directed to the remote target in the second data network, an octet in the target address of the packet is changed from a first value to a second value, the changing forming a modified packet.

Publication number: 20150321837Abstract: A container, that is usable for dispensing flowable materials, includes angled bottom walls which direct the flowable material to a dispensing opening. A flow cutoff device is supported, for movement between open and closed positions, in a frame assembly which defines the dispensing opening. A shield plate prevents any of the flowable material from being trapped in residual flowable material receiving areas that are adjacent the frame assembly at the outlet opening of the container. Openings are provided in an end rail of the frame assembly and also at the juncture of the end rail with spaced side rails of the frame assembly. These openings provide egress areas for any of the flowable material that might be supported by the side rails and the end rail as the cutoff device is slid along the frame assembly to the flow cutoff position.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2015Publication date: November 12, 2015Inventor: Daniel R.

Patent number: 8714388Abstract: A collapsible rectangular container includes a container body having a pair of opposed solid side walls, a pair of opposed foldable side walls hingedly connected to the pair of solid side walls and a base end wall and a top end wall removably and slidably connected to ends of the pairs of solid and foldable side walls when the container body is in an erected position. The base and top end walls are removable from the ends of the container body to permit the body to be collapsed into a flat configuration by folding the side walls inwardly when the base and top end walls are removed. The end walls are slidably received on one of the solid side walls when the container body is in a collapsed position. When the containers are collapsed and/or erected, the containers interlock for shipment.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2012Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Buchorn, Inc.Inventors: Daniel R.
