  • Publication number: 20240136983
    Abstract: A scalable periphery tunable matching power amplifier is presented. Varying power levels can be accommodated by selectively activating or deactivating unit cells of which the scalable periphery tunable matching power amplifier is comprised. Tunable matching allows individual unit cells to see a constant output impedance, reducing need for transforming a low impedance up to a system impedance and attendant power loss. The scalable periphery tunable matching power amplifier can also be tuned for different operating conditions such as different frequencies of operation or different modes.

  • Patent number: 11925378
    Abstract: An ultrasonic surgical device is disclosed including a surgical tool including a proximal transducer mounting portion defining a surface, a distal end effector end, and a waveguide disposed therebetween, the waveguide extending along a longitudinal axis. The ultrasonic surgical device further includes a transducer is in mechanical communication with the surface of the transducer mounting portion. The transducer is configured to operate in a D31 mode with respect to the longitudinal axis of the waveguide. Upon activation by an electrical signal having a predetermined frequency component, the transducer is configured to induce a standing wave in the surgical tool to cause the end effector to vibrate, the standing wave having a wavelength proportional to the predetermined frequency component of the electrical signal.

  • Patent number: 11901041
    Abstract: In certain aspects, methods of the invention involve performing modification state specific enzymatic reaction of nucleic acid in a sample, determining a value associated with efficiency of the modification state specific enzymatic reaction based on a control, determining an amount of target nucleic acid in the sample, and normalizing the amount of target nucleic acid based on the efficiency value. Based on the normalized amount of target nucleic acid, the method further includes determining whether the normalized amount of target nucleic acid is indicative of a condition.

  • Publication number: 20230382473
    Abstract: A trailer tandem slide stopping device for facilitating positioning of a trailer tandem includes a guide pin, which insertable into a first hole of a plurality of holes positioned in an outer rail attached to a the trailer. The first hole is positioned past either a rearward or forward end of an inner rail of the tandem trailer. The guide pin abuts the rearward or forward end of the inner rail upon driving a semitruck hitched to the trailer in forward or reverse, respectively, to move the trailer tandem toward the rear or front of the trailer, respectively, at which point a locking pin of the trailer tandem is aligned with and positioned for insertion into a target hole of the plurality of holes. The target hole corresponds to a desired position of the trailer tandem relative to the trailer.

  • Patent number: 11727054
    Abstract: A system to provide image processing services responsive to requests including image data includes a system layer that forwards a request to an image application processing interface. Image processing provides an image comparison, barcode recognition, and optical character recognition. The image processing compares the image data to products in a database in order to identify a matching product. The system layer receives the matching information and forwards to a user.

  • Patent number: 11619034
    Abstract: A fire hydrant marker can include an indicator that signals the location of a fire hydrant when the fire hydrant is obstructed. In some examples, the indicator is attached to the fire hydrant by a base. The base allows the indicator to be pivoted between an indicating position and a folded position, thereby providing enhanced user access to the fire hydrant.
