Patent number: 11219478Abstract: A surgical tool for removing a portion of an implant is provided that includes a housing, a motor contained within the housing and coupled to the housing, and an output shaft having a distal end and a proximal end opposite the distal end, wherein the proximal end is coupled to the motor and the distal end has an opening configured to rotateably engage an implant. The surgical tool further includes a counter-torque sleeve extending around the output shaft having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end, wherein the proximal end is coupled to the housing and the distal end is configured to couple to the implant relative to the counter-torque sleeve. Upon a rotational force to the implant, the forces transmitted by the output shaft and the counter-torque sleeve are balanced by the coupling of the output shaft and counter-torque sleeve through the housing.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Jeff Beale, Harold Taylor, Jeffrey Chapin, Timothy Proulx, Jared Alden Judson

Patent number: 10798467Abstract: In some embodiments, a method generates combinations of ad campaign content and media program campaign content and ranks the combinations of ad campaign content and media program content. The ranking is based on ad campaign content being shown with the media program campaign content. The method selects one or more of the combinations of ad campaign content and media program campaign content based on the ranking. Then, display of the one or more of the combinations of ad campaign content and media program campaign content is caused where the one or more of the combinations of ad campaign content and media program campaign content include ad campaign content shown with media program campaign content in a same area of a display.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: HULU, LLCInventors: Christopher Russell Kehler, Kang Kang, Jeff Beal, Chi Zhang, Zhebang Hua, Lutfi Ilke Kaya

Patent number: 10321203Abstract: A video delivery service may display different content on an interface, such as ad campaign content, media program campaign content, and recommendation content. For example, the video delivery service may communicate with an ad engine to determine ad campaign content that is available and ad campaign scores to rate the ad campaign content. The video delivery service may also communicate with a media program campaign engine to determine any media program campaign content for the user and media program campaign scores to rate the media program campaign content. Then, the video delivery service may communicate with a recommendation engine to rate the relevance of the ad campaign content or media program campaign content to the user. After receiving the ad campaign content, media program campaign content, and recommendation content, the video delivery service determines which of the ad campaign content, media program campaign content, and recommendation content to display in the interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: HULU, LLCInventors: Christopher Russell Kehler, Kang Kang, Jeff Beal, Chi Zhang, Zhebang Hua, Lutfi Ilke Kaya

Publication number: 20090261536Abstract: A quick-connect adapter, configured to receive an end of a medical tool, is disclosed and can include a base. A support sleeve can extend from the base having an internal cavity with a first portion defined by a first internal circumferential surface parallel to a major axis of the quick-connect adapter and a second portion defined by a second internal circumferential surface non-parallel to the major axis and generally adjacent to the first portion. A medical tool engagement sleeve can be slidingly disposed within the support sleeve and have a receiving channel and an opening through the engagement sleeve into the receiving channel. The quick-connect adapter can be movable between an engaged configuration, in which the lateral opening is substantially aligned with the second portion of the support sleeve, and an unlocked configuration, in which the lateral opening is substantially aligned with the first portion of the support sleeve.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2008Publication date: October 22, 2009Applicant: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Jeff Beale, James Cline, Harold Taylor
