  • Patent number: 10367595
    Abstract: Apparatus for encoding a plurality of received radio frequency (RF) analog signals. The apparatus includes a plurality of pseudo-noise (PN) encoders for performing analog signal spreading and down-conversion. Each PN encoder is configured to encode a respective received RF analog signal using a respective one of a plurality of mutually orthogonal PN complex codes and to output a respective PN-encoded analog signal. The apparatus also includes a PN complex code source configured to provide the mutually orthogonal PN complex codes to the plurality of PN encoders. The PN complex code source includes a code generator for generating multiple mutually orthogonal PN codes, and a complex modulator for modulating the mutually orthogonal PN codes.

  • Patent number: 10159339
    Abstract: A shelving system includes brackets attached to support posts to hold the shelves above a horizontal support surface, such as a ground or floor. The support posts have a plurality of spaced apart projecting pins extending from opposite sidewalls thereof. The brackets each have a flange that defines holes to receive respective ones of the projecting pins. Each bracket is further secured to a support post with a C-shaped locking clip having first and second arms with hook-shaped fingers that hook around respective pins on opposite sidewalls of the support post. One of the arms of the C-shaped locking clip holds the bracket flange against the inner sidewall of the support post and the hook-shaped finger of such arm mates with one of the pins received in one of the holes of the bracket.

  • Patent number: 9848887
    Abstract: A surgical sagittal saw blade assembly and cutting guide for use with the blade assembly. The blade assembly includes a static bar from which a moving blade head protrudes. The blade head is reciprocated by a drive link internal to the bar. The cutting guide has a body that is positioned adjacent where the blade is to be used to cut tissue. The cutting guide has an outer surface over which the blade assembly is positioned. The cutting guide has a constraining feature. The constraining feature holds the blade bar to the body of the guide so the blade assembly can move over the body while being constrained from movement above the outer surface of the body. The constraining feature is mounted to the body of the cutting guide so as to be able to move while constraining guide retains the blade bar.
