Publication number: 20240084750Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing redundant pulse-width modulation (PWM) throttle control. The system includes a manual throttle controller configured to generate a manual PWM throttle control signal, and an automated throttle control system. The automated throttle control system includes a plurality of automated throttle controllers, each of which being configured to independently control a throttle of a vehicle, and each including a processor configured to generate and output an automated PWM throttle control signal, a first double pole double throw (DPDT) relay that, when engaged, is configured to receive and output the manual PWM throttle control signal, and a second DPDT relay, configured to receive and output the automated PWM throttle control signal to an engine, when the second DPDT relay is engaged; and receive and output the manual PWM throttle control signal to the engine, when the DPDT relay is disengaged.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Kodiak Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Gary Chiu, Nathan Berg

Publication number: 20070293385Abstract: A centrifugal method, and corresponding system, for processing blood to collect platelet rich plasma. A separation chamber is filled with blood from a fill syringe by rotating the separation chamber at a fill rotation rate and pumping the blood from the fill syringe. A soft spin is used to initially separate red blood cells from platelets by spinning the separation chamber at a soft spin rate. A percentage of the blood is drawn from the separation chamber back into the fill syringe to remove separated red blood cells. A second portion of the separated blood is drawn from the separation chamber until a red blood cell/platelet interface is detected. A hard spin is performed by spinning the separation chamber at a higher rate and connecting tubing is cleared of red blood cells by drawing a predetermined clearing volume. The platelet rich plasma is then collected in the collection syringe.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2007Publication date: December 20, 2007Inventors: Victor Dolecek, Gary Berg, Kenneth Merte, David Malcolm, Kevin Mclntosh, Vitaly Sitko

Patent number: 6584352Abstract: A leadless fully automatic follow-up (LFAPF) device that is triggered into operation either locally or remotely is implemented extra-corporeally to access cardiac data such as ECGs stored in one or more implantable medical device (IMDs) implanted in one or more patients. A telemetry unit is used in the LFAPF to transmit and test stored data in the IMDs. The telemetry unit implements a series of adjustable commands depending on the desired level of detail of the follow-up. An alternate embodiment representing intra-corporeal use of an additional device includes cardiac data monitoring and cardioversion pulse synchronization in cooperation with another IMD such as a pacer.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2000Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: William J.

Patent number: 5372607Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing the performance of a rate-responsive cardiac pacemaker. A pacemaker is provided which is capable of obtaining and storing information about a patient's cardiac function and about a pacemaker's operation during a brief exercise interval. The data collected includes information about the number of cardiac events during each two-second interval of the exercise, as well as the percentage of paced events during each two-second interval. Data reflecting the output of the pacemaker's activity sensor output is also collected for each two second interval of the test. In addition, AV interval data for each cardiac cycle during the test is collected, this data being distinguished according to whether it reflects atrial-pace-to-ventricular-sense or atrial-sense-to-ventricular-sense AV intervals. The disclosed pacemaker is operable in conjunction with an external programming/processing unit, which receives the stored data after the exercise test is concluded.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1993Date of Patent: December 13, 1994Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Karen A. Stone, Richard M. Powell, Michael R. Tollinger, Gary Berg
