  • Publication number: 20200070294
    Abstract: Systems, and/or methods for movement control of material removal systems and/or assemblies are disclosed, such as saws, grinders, polishers, and/or more general material preparation and/or testing machines, for example. A material removal system may include a material removal machine that is configured to move at the urging of one or more actuators. The system may further include control circuitry configured to control movement (and/or speed, acceleration, etc.) of the material removal assembly (e.g., via the actuators) based on one or more power, thermal, position, and/or other parameters that indicate whether the material removal tool is in contact with a sample.

  • Patent number: 10567329
    Abstract: Content is inserted into conversations hosted on a takeoff site using creatives that provide lures and links to other material that users engaged in the conversation might find helpful and relevant. Such insertions are made in a contextually meaningful fashion through the use of a matching and decision process that determines best candidate creatives and an appropriate time and place for their insertion into the conversation.

  • Publication number: 20190266711
    Abstract: Provided is a circuit device that can appropriately detect an error in a display image in a head up display, an electronic apparatus, an error detection method, and the like. The circuit device includes an image processing circuit and a comparison circuit. The image processing circuit performs first mapping processing, which maps an input first image on a second image to be projected onto a projection target object, and second mapping processing, which converts the second image to a third image. The second mapping processing is reverse mapping processing of the first mapping processing. The comparison circuit performs comparison between the first image and the third image, and outputs the result of comparison as information for performing error detection on the second image.

  • Patent number: 9326791
    Abstract: The distal portion of a shape-memory filament extends from a needle containing at least one filament gripping element. To implant the shape-memory filament in tissue, the needle is inserted into a cannula with a flexible and removable hook. During partial withdrawal of the needle, the hook holds the distal portion of the filament stationary to deposit a section of filament in the distal portion of the cannula. The needle is re-advanced, pushing the section of the shape-memory filament to coil or fold within the tissue. Rotation of the needle with the filament gripping element further tightens the coiled or folded filament. Partial withdrawal, re-advancement, rotation and pushing of the needle are repeated to fill, pack, strengthen, enlarge or augment the tissue with the shape-memory filament.

  • Publication number: 20160119421
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing access to virtual storage systems is provided. A listening socket is configured for an application for detecting communication for a plurality of virtual storage systems presented by a clustered storage system having a plurality of nodes. A packet is received at a node of the clustered storage system from a client system for a virtual storage system from among the plurality of virtual storage systems. An identifier for the virtual storage system for which the packet is destined is determined. A connection socket is cloned for the virtual storage system such that any other packet for a same connection and for the virtual storage system can be forwarded to the virtual storage system. Thereafter, the packet is processed by the application on behalf of the virtual storage system.
