  • Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Providing Haptic Feedback
    Publication number: 20210264748
    Abstract: An electronic device, while displaying representations of a plurality of collections of media items, detects a swipe input that starts at a location corresponding to a first representation of a first collection of media items in the plurality of collections of media items. In response to detecting the swipe input: in accordance with a determination that the swipe input is in a first direction, the device scrolls the representations of the plurality of collections of media items in the first direction; and, in accordance with a determination that the swipe input is in a different, second direction, the device: ceases to display a representation of a first item in the first collection of media items, and displays a representation of a second item in the first collection of media items, without scrolling; and generates a tactile output corresponding to displaying the representation of the second item.

  • SURGICAL DEVICE AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20210259705
    Abstract: A surgical device and method for performing a controlled resection of the neck of a femur during a hip replacement procedure. The surgical device includes a body portion. The body portion has a mounting portion. The mounting portion is mountable on a femoral head of the femur to position the body portion with respect to a center of the femoral head. The body portion also has an opening for mounting the body portion on an intramedullary pin located in an intramedullary canal of the femur. The surgical device also includes a resection guide. The resection guide is adjustably locatable at a plurality of positions on the body portion for positioning a resection plane indicator of the resection guide with respect to the neck of the femur according to a measured radius/diameter of the femoral head.

  • Photonic integrated circuit for heterodyne imaging
    Patent number: 11102426
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first light source to produce a first reference light, a first pair of arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) to demultiplex a first optical signal and the first reference light, respectively, into multiple first signal beams and multiple first reference beams. A first heterodyne optical detector can mix the multiple first signal beams and the multiple first reference beams to generate first quadrature optical signals. A first pair of photo-detectors can convert the first quadrature optical signals to first in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) electrical signals. The apparatus is implemented as a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) incorporating the first pair of AWGs, the first heterodyne optical detector and the first pair of photo-detectors.

  • Methods and apparatus for installing sleeve on cable using active dimensional analysis
    Patent number: 11101582
    Abstract: An apparatus that melts and monitors sleeves for installation onto shielded cables. The apparatus includes a heat source for melting the sleeve, cable supports for supporting the cable during the melting process, a sensor system that is configured to measure a dimension of the sleeve during melting, and a computer that is connected to receive sensor data from the sensor system and send heater control signals to the heat source. The computer is configured to receive dimensional data from the sensor system, monitor that dimensional data by performing a dimensional analysis, and then deactivate or remove the heat source in response to dimensional analysis results indicating that the sleeve is fully melted (in the case of a solder sleeve) or only fully shrunken (in the case of a dead end sleeve) onto the cable.

  • Identifying requests that invalidate user sessions
    Patent number: 11102229
    Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented process for identifying a request invalidating a session excludes all marked logout requests of a Web application, crawls an identified next portion of the Web application and responsive to a determination, in one instance, that the state of the crawl is out of session, logs in to the Web application. The computer-implemented process further selects all crawl requests sent since a last time the crawl was in-session, excluding all marked logout requests and responsive to a determination that requests remain, crawls a selected next unprocessed request. Responsive to a determination, in the next instance, that state of the crawl is out of session and the selected request meets logout request criteria, the computer-implemented process marks the selected request as a logout request.

  • SEARCHING USING ENCRYPTED CLIENT AND SERVER MAINTAINED INDICES
    Publication number: 20210256146
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device searches encrypted objects stored in a secure virtual storage space is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a search query that includes a set of tokens and encrypts the set of tokens. The device further creates a hashed set of encrypted tokens using a second hash function. In addition, the device sends the hashed set of encrypted tokens to a first search server as a query. Furthermore, the device receives, from the first search server, a first set of encrypted object names as a search result. The device additionally determines a set of client-side indexes to search by hashing at least some of the first set of encrypted object names using a first hash function. The device further decrypts the set of encrypted object names. The additionally searches the set of client-side indexes using the set of decrypted object names.

  • Hypoxia Training Device
    Publication number: 20210252246
    Abstract: The present invention includes a device for hypoxia training including a breathable gas source; a mask in fluid communication with the breathable gas source; a mask-state detector that uses one or more criteria to determine if the mask is being worn by a subject, wherein the mask-state detector is capable of communicating an indication of a mask-off state or a mask-on state; a flowmeter in fluid communication with the mask and coupled to the mask-state detector; and a pressure regulator in fluid communication with the mask and with the breathable gas source, and coupled to the mask-state detector, wherein the pressure regulator sets a first pressure at the mask when the mask-state detector communicates an indication of a mask-off state or a second pressure at the mask when the mask-state detector communicates an indication of a mask-on state.
