Abstract: In a control method of a terminal device which includes an OS, a first application, and a second application installed in the OS as a default function which is included in the OS, a first instruction is transmitted by the first application to a connected device. The first instruction is related to an operation of the second application. A second instruction transmitted by the connected device on the basis of a content of the first instruction is received by the terminal device. The second application operates on the basis of the second instruction.

Abstract: The Vertebra Pick Device represents a new instrument to bore pilot holes in vertebra pedicles while imaging the operation with an integrated endoscope. The pilot holes are bored to provide entry points for pedicle screws that serve as anchor points for spine stabilizing rods to treat several spine conditions. The device consists of a metal body that terminates in a tapered incision tip, an endoscope that runs inside said metal body, a handle to drive the device into pedicle boney tissue and a fiber optics bundle assembly that enters the device handle and is used to connect to imaging, illumination, irrigation and suction devices to enable the endoscopic functions of the device. The fiber optics bundle assembly connects to an imaging camera that provides an electrical signal to a monitor to view the operation in real time.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to a non-limiting system and method for generating an abstract code execution timeline from repetitive programs, such as video games and simulations. As a non-limiting example, a statistical sampling profile is first taken of the running program, and then the data is converted into several representations. By selecting representative functions based on sampling frequency and call tree hierarchy and then sorting those functions chronologically and hierarchically, an abstract code execution timeline can be generated that summarizes execution within a single repetitive time period, such as a video frame. This timeline is called “Story Mode” since it tells a story of how the program executes over the course of a frame. This abstract code execution timeline can then be used to facilitate program comprehension, primarily for the purposes of modifying the code to improve execution speed.

Abstract: Sidestick controller grips are provided with a base, an elongate column grip extending upwardly from the base, a head at an upper end portion of the grip column, and a thumb rest surface extending laterally and upwardly relative to the column grip. The thumb rest surface may be supported by a concave outwardly extending support wall which joins the thumbrest surface at a generally serpentine edge which may extend generally outwardly convexly from a lower region thereof at the column grip to a convex apex region, and then extends from the apex region generally upwardly and concavely to an upper region thereof at the head.

Abstract: The invention relates to a DC motor, particularly for a fan device of a motor vehicle, having a stator and a metal grounding plate arranged on the stator, for receiving at least one leadthrough capacitor of an interference suppressor device. The capacitor being arranged in a connection line of the motor. According to the invention, the leadthrough capacitor includes a metal housing with at least one contact section for contacting the stator and/or the metal grounding plate. Thus, a compact interference suppressor device, which can be produced in a cost-effective way and is easy to install, is achieved.

Abstract: An electrical machine, preferably a blower drive mechanism for a motor vehicle, having a shaft which is supported in at least two bearings with a specified axial play; a cylindrical bearing is secured in a bearing seat of an end shield and rests directly on the bearing seat. The cylindrical bearing has a cylindrical outer circumference, and the bearing seat is a sleeve with a cylindrical inside diameter, into which sleeve the cylindrical bearing is secured with a press fit on the outer circumference and is held axially in the bearing seat by the thus-attained frictional engagement. This has the advantage that more-precise adjustment of the longitudinal play of the armature is possible. Moreover, no additional components such as retaining springs are necessary.

Abstract: A rotisserie apparatus for rotating and roasting articles of food comprising a support assembly, a skewer assembly, a rotatable assembly and a drive assembly. The drive assembly turning a plurality of rotatable assemblies which are in turn removably mounted to skewer assemblies. The skewer assemblies hold food stuffs, which a user desires to roast, over a heat source. Because each skewer is independently and removably mounted to its own rotatable assembly, the entire device does not have to be stopped to remove a single skewer assembly. The support assembly, in conjunction with the rotatable assembly, cooperatively suspends the skewer assemblies over the heat source contained therein.
