  • Patent number: 11869283
    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating and transmitting combined external data from one or more assets are described herein. An example method may include collecting, by a data processing device communicatively coupled to a central data portal, sensor data from one or more assets, processing, by the data processing device, the sensor data to evaluate status data concerning status of the one or more assets, transmitting, by the data processing device, the status data to the central data portal, and storing and visualizing, by the central data portal, the status data. The data processing device can be co-located with one of the assets. The assets may be selected from a building, a room, outdoor location, a vehicle, a person, an indoor location, and an outdoor location.

  • Publication number: 20240000458
    Abstract: An occlusion clip is disclosed herein. The occlusion clip comprises a resilient base strip including a plurality of base strip segments defining a hexagonal profile that represents an open state of the occlusion clip. A plurality of housing segments is provided on each of the base strip segments. A core element is disposed and extends within the housing segments defining a half of the hexagonal profile, wherein the core element is configured for linear movement within the housing segments. An actuator cable extends from each of the core elements, wherein in an actuated state, the core element is pulled via the actuator cable, and the pulling facilitates relative movement between the housing segments and the core elements causing the core element to make the housing segments collinear, thereby defining a closed configuration of the occlusion clip.

  • Publication number: 20240005078
    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently designing a through silicon via (TSV) macro blocks are described. In various implementations, the circuitry of a processor executes instructions of a place and route tool that provides automatic placement of macro blocks and standard cells on an integrated circuit die based on a copy of a netlist of the integrated circuit being designed and a copy of a standard cell library that includes a variety of standard cells and macro blocks. The processor places two functional macros in the floorplan with a channel between them. In the channel, the processor places a TSV macro that includes at least one boundary cell inside of the TSV macro. The processor prevents placement of a boundary cell adjacent to at least one side of the TSV macro despite empty space exists due to no standard cells or macros about the at least one side.

  • Publication number: 20230414026
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiple-compartment mailbox device primarily comprised of a body, further comprised of at least one lid with at least one hinge, at least one interior space, and at least one divider wall. The device may be comprised of two interior spaces. One for outgoing mail and packages, and one for incoming mail and packages. In one embodiment, both compartments have mail lids. In a different embodiment, only the incoming mail compartment has a mail lid. The device may be comprised of at least one motion sensor, at least one transmitter, and at least one battery. The motion sensors detect when mail has been delivered or received by the postal worker, and electrically communicates with the mobile application via the transmitter, thus providing a notification on the user's smart device. The mobile application allows a user to know precisely when their mail was delivered.

  • Publication number: 20230414300
    Abstract: A surgical tool includes an elongate shaft, an end effector arranged at a distal end of the shaft and including opposing jaws, and an articulable wrist interposing the end effector and the shaft and comprising a plurality of articulation links arranged in series along a longitudinal length of the wrist. A closure redirect mechanism includes first and second rigid links arranged proximal to the wrist, first and second transfer mechanisms pivotably mounted to the first and second rigid links, respectively, first and second transfer links interposing the end effector and the wrist, and first and second tension members extending distally from the first and second transfer mechanisms, respectively, and being secured to the first and second transfer links, respectively. Moving the first rigid link relative to the second rigid link, and vice versa, causes the first and second transfer links to correspondingly move and thereby open or close the jaws.
