  • Patent number: 9322201
    Abstract: An intelligent door lock system is provided with a position sensing device configured to be coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device. The position sensing device senses position of the drive shaft and assists in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device. An engine is provided with a memory coupled to the positioning sensing device. A circuit is coupled to the engine and an energy source is coupled to the circuit. A device converts energy into mechanical energy and is coupled to the circuit, positioning sensing device and the drive shaft. The device that converts energy is coupled to the energy source to receive energy from the energy source. Wing latches are used to secure the intelligent door lock system to a mounting plate coupled to a door.

  • Patent number: 8926606
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, devices, and systems for in vivo treatment of cell proliferative disorders. The invention can be used to treat solid tumors, such as brain tumors. The methods rely on non-thermal irreversible electroporation (IRE) or supra-poration to cause cell death in treated tumors. In embodiments, the methods comprise the integration of ultra-short electric pulses, both temporally and spatially, to achieve the desired modality of cell death.

  • Publication number: 20140163427
    Abstract: A kinematic system is described. The kinematic system includes a kinematic device to train a subject to move in an optimal form during functional activities. The kinematic system comprises an attachment mechanism, a projector to project a first light line along a first axis and a second light line perpendicular to the first light line, and a multi-directional joint. The kinematic system works such that when the subject performs functional activities, the functional activities comprising one or more of taking a step, sitting down, standing up, walking, running, cutting a corner and ascending or descending steps, a movement in the line of light indicates rotation, anterior-posterior tilt, abduction-adduction, flexion-extension and lateral tilt of the user's joint, enabling correction of movement associated with the functional activities to the optimal form.
