Abstract: A coaptive surgical sealing tool may be similar to an ordinary hemostat with long (50, 60, 70 or 80 mm) thin jaws for sliding into the liver parenchyma, without tearing the larger blood vessels. The jaws are spring loaded and are designed for uniform compression, and to avoid closing too quickly. The jaws are capable of sealing a 50, 60, 70 or 80 mm sealing length, in a single bite, although it can also seal shorter lengths as well. The tool can be used with existing ablative therapy microwave generators. The tool may be provided with irrigation and/or suction.

Abstract: A method for collecting performance test data during a performance test of an athlete from timing devices associated with a performance test includes automatically receiving an electronic time stamp message from each of the timing devices, each electronic time stamp message incorporating a time stamp generated by the timing device in response to entering into a triggered state during the performance test; and automatically inserting time data corresponding to the received time stamps into respective fields of an electronic performance test record associated with the unique athlete identifier.

Abstract: A circuit breaker system includes an internal operating handle disposed inside an enclosure and coupled to a shaft extending from a circuit breaker. The internal operating handle includes a dog clutch coupled to the shaft and a rotary handle coupled to the dog clutch. The rotary handle is operative to rotate the shaft when the dog clutch is engaged. A safety operating handle system for turning a shaft to operate a circuit breaker includes a rotary handle and a dog clutch having a first clutch member coupled to the rotary handle and having a second clutch member coupled to the shaft. The dog clutch is operative to transmit a rotation of the rotary handle to the shaft when the first clutch member is in an engagement position.

Abstract: A method of detecting anomalies in a time series is disclosed. A training time series corresponding to a process is extracted from an initial time series corresponding to the process, the training time series including a subset of the initial time series. Outlier data points in the training time series are modified based on predetermined acceptability criteria. A plurality of prediction methods are trained using the training time series. An actual data point corresponding to the initial time series is received. The plurality of prediction methods are used to determine a set of predicted data points corresponding to the actual data point. It is determined whether the actual data point is anomalous based on a calculation of whether each of the set of predicted data points is statistically different from the actual data point.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for performing formal verification of circuit descriptions. In certain example embodiments, the disclosed technology involves the formal verification of a register-transfer-level (“RTL”) circuit description produced from a high level synthesis tool (e.g., a C++ or SystemC synthesis tool) relative to the original high level code from which the RTL description was synthesized (e.g., the original C++ or SystemC description) using sub-functional-call-level transactions.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for securely processing range predicates on cloud databases are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes separately encrypting a set of plain text data using two or more encryption functions, thereby producing an encrypted domain comprising at least two distinct groups of encrypted data items; converting a range query over plain text data items into a query over at least one of the distinct groups of encrypted data items; and combining results from the query over the distinct groups of encrypted data items, thereby generating a final encrypted result to the range query.

Abstract: A hand tool has a pivot connection pivotally attaching a first arm to a second arm, with the pivot connection fixed relative to the first arm and movable to first and second positions relative to the second arm. A spring urges the pivot connection into the first position. When jaws on the front ends of the arms clamp tissue with force greater than a pre-set threshold, the spring force is overcome and the jaws may move linearly apart, allowing for more uniform clamping of the tissue. The first arm may have an arm spring extending between a front segment pivotally attached to a rear segment of the first arm.

Abstract: A system and method for simulating the timing of an integrated circuit design using abstract timing models. An abstract or smart timing model is created as a model of a design component or block having partial timing that includes the timing for the boundary or interface logic but removes timing for internal registers. The smart timing model may additionally preserve the timing for asynchronous or multi-cycle paths, or add interconnect delays for certain internal elements, to ensure accurate timing.

Abstract: A method and device for ranking video feeds provide a user with the best feed depending on what the user wishes to see. The method includes obtaining one or more video feeds and ranking the video feeds. The ranking is based, at least in part, upon input from a viewer indicating an object of interest. The ranking can consider things such as video stream resolution and signal strength.

Abstract: A surgical tool includes first and second arms including a finger ring on the back section of each arm. A spring is positioned between the back sections of the arms, with the spring urging the back sections of the arms away from each other. First and second jaws are located on the front section of the first and second arms, with first and second electrodes on the first and second jaws. An irrigation port is located on the first arm connected to an irrigation line leading to one or more irrigation fluid outlets in or adjacent to the first or second electrode.

Abstract: A receiver in a CDMA system comprises a front end processor that generates a combined signal per source. A symbol estimator processes the combined signal to produce symbol estimates. An S-Matrix Generation module refines these symbol estimates based on the sub channel symbol estimates. An interference canceller is configured for cancelling interference from at least one of the plurality of received signals for producing at least one interference-cancelled signal.
