  • Patent number: 11961171
    Abstract: In one aspect, an example method can be used with a system comprising a set of domain specific language (DSL)-compatible modules. The method can include: (i) designing a template for an interactive media object, wherein the template includes one or more fixed portions and one or more variable portions; (ii) curating the designed template by at least using received input to modify the one or more variable portions of the designed template; (iii) modifying the curated template by replacing a content placeholder of the curated template with a corresponding content item, thereby automatically converting the curated template into an interactive media object definition file; and (iv) using the interactive media object definition file to render and present, via a media selection menu of a presentation device, an interactive media object defined by the interactive media object definition file.

  • Patent number: 11950843
    Abstract: An electrosurgical apparatus comprising an electrosurgical forceps instrument that combines la robust jaw opening mechanism with an a microwave energy delivery mechanism. The instrument includes a rigid bracket mounted at a distal end of a flexible shaft, wherein a pair of jaws are pivotably mounted on the rigid bracket. The instrument includes an energy delivery structure comprising a flexible dielectric substrate having a first electrode and an second electrode formed on one of the pair of jaws, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are arranged to emit microwave energy. The electrosurgical apparatus may also comprise a handpiece that combines rotation control of an electrosurgical instrument with both power delivery and end effector actuation (e.g. jaw closure, blade retraction or the like).

  • Patent number: 11943341
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement contextual key management for data encryption are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed are to determine whether a key mapping is associated with a combination of two or more context rules defined for a set of context values associated with input data to be encrypted. Disclosed example apparatus are also to, in response to a determination that no key mapping is associated with the combination of two or more context rules, map a key identifier to the combination of two or more context rules and generate a key corresponding to the key identifier. Disclosed example apparatus are further to encrypt the input data based on the key to obtain encrypted data.

  • Patent number: 11918273
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a hollow cable for transmitting radiofrequency and/or microwave frequency energy to an electrosurgical instrument, wherein the hollow cable is provided with electrical connectors for forming a bipolar electrical connection with an electrosurgical instrument that fits within, e.g. slides relative to, the hollow cable. The connectors can be conductive protrusions extending in an axial direction on opposite sides of the cable. The protrusions can be tabs, fins, rods, pins, or wires. The protrusions can be strips which engage corresponding terminals on the instrument. The transmission line structure of the invention can have a greater diameter then convention coaxial cables, which can minimise loss whilst still providing access for control wires and/or fluid to reach an surgical instrument. The cable can be used with multiple instruments.

  • Patent number: 10972258
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement contextual key management for data encryption are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein to perform contextual encryption key management, which are also referred to herein as contextual key managers, include an example context discoverer to discover context information associated with a request to access first encrypted data. Such disclosed example apparatus also include an example contextual key mapper to identify a combination of context rules associated with a key that is to provide access to the first encrypted data, validate the context information associated with the request based on the combination of context rules associated with the key to determine whether the request to access the first encrypted data is valid, and obtain the key from a key management service when the request to access the first encrypted data is valid.
