Patent number: 11918763Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a catheter manipulation handle with user interface controls for steering a catheter in situ while providing an augmented (e.g., motorized, powered and tunable precision steering, and perforation safeguards) control and feedback user experience. In an illustrative example, the catheter manipulation handle may provide motor assisted operation to automatically rotate and/or deflect a distal tip of the catheter to steer and guide the distal tip to a target location in the patient's vasculature system. The augmented feedback may include, for example, haptic feedback via the handle. Haptic, audible, and/or visual feedback via the handle may indicate, for example, proximity or engagement of the distal tip with sensitive tissue. In some examples, the handle's augmented operation may advantageously amplify feedback signals to enhance the user's perception of the patient's safety with respect to the safe passage of the distal tip through the patient's vasculature.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Nextern Innovation, LLCInventors: Ryan J. Douglas, Richard Farrell, Dennis Berke, Davis Flanagan, David Bontrager, Brian Loushine

Patent number: 11526549Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for performing a facet search include receiving facet search commencement user input indicating that a search for a facet is to commence; in response to the facet search commencement user input, searching one or more video recordings for the facet; and displaying, on a display, facet image search results depicting the facet, wherein the facet image search results are selected from the one or more video recordings. An artificial neural network may be used for the facet search, and that network may be trained by generating a facet image training set that comprises training images, with the training images depicting a type of facet common to the training images; and training, by using the facet image training set, that neural network to classify the type of facet when a sample image comprising the type of facet is input to that network.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Tulio de Souza Alcantara, Courtney Anne Adame Cheng, Roger David Donaldson, David Flanagan, Ken Jessen, Eric Sjue

Patent number: 8179883Abstract: An apparatus, method and system for delivering Internet Protocol (IP) content within a system that includes a bypass architecture, using a Session Encapsulation Information Database (SEIDB). Within an existing PacketCable Multimedia (PCMM) framework used as a control plane for IP content bypass flow setup, the SEIDB system stores session bypass encapsulation information for IP content bypass flows within the system. Within the SEIDB, each entry of bypass encapsulation information has a flow classifier component that uniquely identifies a bypass flow in a manner that allows both a cable modem termination system (CMTS) and the IP content source to uniquely identify the bypass flow at the SEIDB. Initially, the CMTS gathers bypass encapsulation information and uploads it to the SEIDB. Before the bypass flow begins, the IP content source obtains the necessary bypass encapsulation information from the SEIDB, e.g., using a flow classifier as a search filter item.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: General Instrument CorporationInventors: Qi Bao, David Flanagan, Gerald R Joyce, Michael W Patrick

Publication number: 20100083329Abstract: An apparatus, method and system for delivering Internet content within a system that includes an encapsulation database and a last-hop router as part of a bypass architecture, such as a bypass architecture that transmits IP content from a source to a downstream modulator, such as an EQAM modulator, in a manner that bypasses the system's Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). The encapsulation database, which typically is controlled by the MSO, but also is in operable communication with the last-hop router and CMTS, is configured to store encapsulation identification information, which is used to identify which portions of the IP content receive bypass encapsulation. The encapsulation database also can include the QoS settings for such identified portions of IP content. The encapsulation database allows the MSO to provide QoS settings for select portions of IP content, such as videos from internet video providers with whom the MSO has made special arrangements.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2008Publication date: April 1, 2010Applicant: GENERAL INSTRUMENT CORPORATIONInventors: Gerald R.

Publication number: 20090310596Abstract: An apparatus, method and system for delivering Internet content within a system that includes a bypass architecture, such as a bypass architecture that transmits content from the Internet or an Internet content source to a downstream modulator, such as an Edge Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (EQAM) modulator, in a manner that bypasses the system's Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). Content from the Internet or an Internet source is transmitted to a last-hop router, which is configured to identify content for bypass encapsulation. The last-hop router also can be configured to perform at least a portion of the necessary bypass encapsulation for proper bypass flows of the identified content. Alternatively, the EQAM is configured to perform the bypass encapsulation, and the last-hop router transmits the identified content to the EQAM, which performs at least a portion of the necessary bypass encapsulation on the identified content.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2008Publication date: December 17, 2009Applicant: GENERAL INSTRUMENT CORPORATIONInventors: Gerald R.

Publication number: 20080008572Abstract: A lift and secure latch assembly for a vehicle tailgate includes a pair of cables capable of applying upward force to the tailgate and a tensioning mechanism positioned within the tailgate and connected to the support members to apply tension thereto. One of the cables extends from a first lateral end of the tailgate and the other of the cables extends from a second lateral end of the tailgate. The tensioning mechanism is operable between a first position wherein the cables are retracted with the tailgate closed and a second position wherein the cables are extended with the tailgate open. The tensioning mechanism includes a spring member biasing the tensioning mechanism toward the first position. A latch selectively engages the tensioning mechanism to releasably secure the tensioning mechanism in the first position with the tailgate closed. Preferably, the latch is centrally positioned between lateral ends of the tailgate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2007Publication date: January 10, 2008Inventors: Gregory Ruhlander, Patrick Meysenburg, David Flanagan
