  • Publication number: 20250099201
    Abstract: A clamp assembly for use with a surgical attachment system for fixing a navigation tracker to a portion of bone. The clamp assembly includes a first clamp jaw with a first engagement surface and a second clamp jaw with a second engagement surface. The clamp assembly includes a linear driver with a shaft. The second clamp jaw is coupled to the first clamp jaw at a fixed pivot and coupled to the shaft at a moving pivot. The linear driver translates the shaft in a first direction to pivot the second engagement surface towards the first engagement surface. The linear driver translates the shaft in a second direction opposite to the first direction to pivot the second engagement surface away from the first engagement surface.

  • Publication number: 20250017666
    Abstract: A surgical tracker assembly includes a tracker body including a first connector. The surgical tracker assembly also includes a mount assembly couplable to the tracker body. The mount assembly includes a second connector engageable with the first connector in at least a first position and a second position different from the first position. One of the first connector and the second connector includes a multipositional receptacle extending between a first receptacle end and a second receptacle end. The first receptacle end defines a first opening, and the second receptacle end defines a second opening. The other of the first connector and the second connector includes a projection disposable in the first opening to couple the tracker body to the mount assembly in the first position and disposable in the second opening to couple to the tracker body to the mount assembly in the second position.

  • Patent number: 12178667
    Abstract: A clamp assembly fixes a navigation tracker to a bone. The assembly includes first and second clamp jaws. The second clamp jaw is pivotal about a first fixed pivot. A linear driver includes a shaft. A first linkage is pivotal at one end about a second fixed pivot and coupled at an opposing end to the shaft at a first moving pivot. A second linkage is coupled at one end to the shaft at the first moving pivot and coupled at the other end to the second clamp jaw at a second moving pivot. The linear driver linearly translates the shaft to apply force to the first moving pivot in a first direction to pivot the second clamp jaw towards the first clamp jaw and in a second direction opposite to the first direction to pivot the second clamp jaw away from the first clamp jaw.

  • Publication number: 20240418030
    Abstract: An astragal for a fenestration system includes at least first and second slots running along opposite sides of the astragal, each slot is configured to receive a stile of a panel of the fenestration system. The slots may be in different planes or in a common plane, and may be different depths or the same depth. In some embodiments, additional slots are provided in the astragal, on one or both sides of the astragal, and the astragal may be used in various placements and configurations within multi-panel door or window systems. A snap clip may be included within one or more of the slots to engage a stile when received in the slot and secure the panel to the astragal. Covers may fill slots that are not utilized in a particular panel configuration.

  • Patent number: 12135909
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include synchronizing a timing scheme between a display and a camera. The method may also include triggering, using a display trigger based on the timing scheme, the display to display a content frame, and triggering, using a capture trigger based on the timing scheme, the camera to capture the displayed content frame. The method may further include building a timeline of frame events for the displayed content frame and the captured content frame, and matching, using the timeline of frame events, the displayed content frame with the captured content frame. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240326051
    Abstract: A separation assembly has a microfluidic separation element having a substrate layer. The microfluidic separation element defines an element inlet, a first element outlet, and a second element outlet. The first element outlet is defined by the substrate layer. A permeate draining layer abuts the substrate layer. The permeate draining layer is downstream of the first element outlet.

  • Publication number: 20240333437
    Abstract: Some implementations relate to direct access to a storage device using a data plane of a switch. A response signal for a first packet transmitted from the switch to the storage device is received from a storage device. The first packet encapsulates a packet sequence number and first data to be transmitted by the switch. The response signal contains the packet sequence number. If the response signal is a negative acknowledgement response signal, a first state sequence number of the switch is updated with the packet sequence number contained in the response signal. The first state sequence number represents a sequence number of a packet to be transmitted by the switch. The first state sequence number and second data to be transmitted by the switch are encapsulated in a second packet to be transmitted to the storage device.

  • Publication number: 20240206983
    Abstract: A surgical clamp assembly for clamping tissue and supporting a navigation tracker. The assembly includes a clamp body. Clamp arms are coupled to the clamp body to grip tissue. At least one of the clamp arms includes a distal portion having a clamp surface to grip tissue and a proximal portion that is pivotable relative to the clamp body about a first pivot. A linear displacement mechanism and a carrier are coupled to the clamp body. The carrier is moveable relative to the clamp body along a carrier axis in response to movement of the linear displacement mechanism. The carrier is coupled directly to the proximal portion of the clamp arm. The clamp arm is also pivotable relative to the carrier about a second pivot in response to movement of the carrier.

  • Patent number: 12002290
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for intelligently switching between cloud processing mode and edge processing mode based on a variety of criteria, such as the desired eye-tracker settings (e.g., minimum tracker rate, ideal tracker rate, and processing mode) and the available network capabilities (e.g., latency, bandwidth, and the like). The criteria used for determining whether buffered cloud processing is viable include such parameters as upload bandwidth, tolerable processing delay, buffer drain rate, buffer fill rate, and maximum session duration. The cloud processing system may be used instead of available edge processing in cases where there are benefits to doing so, e.g., the cloud processing system provides added functionality, such as improved data analytics.

  • Publication number: 20230390769
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein relates to hydrodynamic separator. The hydrodynamic separator can be configured to separate a liquid having dispersed particles having a diameter. The hydrodynamic separator has a substrate and a liquid channel at least partially defined by the substrate. The liquid channel is configured to receive a liquid within the channel. The liquid channel has an inlet and an outlet. The outlet has a first outlet branch and a second outlet branch. The liquid channel has an inner wall defining an inner radius around a central axis and an outer wall defining an outer radius around the central axis. The liquid channel has a liquid channel length along the inner wall from the inlet to the outlet. The liquid channel has a channel width between the inner wall and outer wall, where the channel has a tapered region where the channel width increases towards the outlet.

  • Patent number: 11634943
    Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to a window assembly designed to facilitate the construction process by providing a simple and efficient method for joining mullion members and frame members along a window joint. The assembly includes a mullion end cap with a seal extending around the periphery of the end cap to help minimize moisture entry into the window assembly via the window joints. In addition, the seal includes fastener bosses designed to seal against fasteners extending therethrough to help seal the joint without need for separately applying a silicone or other sealant in a post-assembly process.
