  • Methods and systems of an all purpose broadband network
    Patent number: 9107094
    Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure improved capabilities are described for increasing the bandwidth in a network, where centralized optimization servers are utilized to reduce the time-latency for applications being run from a user device. Further, by associating additional local optimization servers, application functionality may be optionally transferred from the centralized optimization server to the local optimization server in instances where a number of user devices are requesting the same data via their access through the same access node, and in other instances, to the effect that associated communication network bandwidth utilization is reduced or eliminated.

  • Lancet Assembly
    Publication number: 20150209068
    Abstract: Lancet assemblies for puncturing the skin and creating an incision. Upon activation, the disclosed assemblies are configured to move through a firing sequence in which a puncturing instrument extends through an aperture in the device and then is retracted back into a housing of the device and cannot be re-fired. The assemblies are designed so that the aperture in contact with the incision site does not move relative to the incision site during the firing sequence. Accordingly, the tolerance of the assembly is reduced and the reliability of the incisions created by the assembly, including the depth and width of such incisions, is increased.
