Abstract: A universal payload may be integrated with each of a plurality of different orthopedic implants configured to replace or functionally supplement a natural joint of a body. In one aspect, a universal payload includes an electronics assembly, a housing enclosing the electronics assembly, and a payload coupling feature configured to couple to each of a plurality of different orthopedic implants. The electronics assembly includes at least one sensor and a controller having at least two joint-specific modules. Each joint-specific module is respectively configured to collect kinematic data resulting from movement of a respective specific joint sensed by the at least one sensor. In another aspect, a universal payload includes an electronics assembly comprising at least one sensor and a housing enclosing the electronics assembly. The universal payload has a payload form factor that is configured to be at least partially inserted into a payload receptacle in each of a plurality of different orthopedic implants.

Abstract: A boat lift assembly includes a first base member having a central beam portion and first and second sloped beam portions, and a second base member having a central beam portion and first and second sloped beam portions. The assembly includes a first plurality of roller tubes coupled to the first sloped beam portions of the first and second base members, and a first plurality of rollers disposed on the first plurality of roller tubes. The assembly includes a second plurality of roller tubes coupled to the central beam portions of the first and second base members, and a second plurality of rollers disposed on the second plurality of roller tubes. The assembly includes a third plurality of roller tubes coupled to the second sloped beam portions of the first and second base members, and a third plurality of rollers disposed on the third plurality of roller tubes.

Abstract: A security system in a vehicle extends its protection to installed equipment of the vehicle, such as audio components, navigation systems, and entertainment systems. The installed equipment is armed and disarmed by the security system, preventing the equipment from normal functioning after unauthorized removal. The security system further enables programming, monitoring, and diagnosing of the installed equipment through the security system's remote control, through a configuration and maintenance tool that connects to the security system, or through other items of installed equipment within the vehicle, such as a rear-seat entertainment system.

Abstract: A cail denial circuit is disclosed for restricting selected calls outgoing from a PBX or key telephone system. The circuit is arranged to handle both dial pulse signaling and multifrequency tone signaling from the same station while at the same time being arranged to prevent a mixture of the two types of signaling on the same call. One dial pulse detector is utilized for each line in conjunction with a multifrequency tone detector shared by all of the lines. A continuously operating scanner sequentially causes the registered digits, both from the individual dial pulse detectors and from the common tone detector, to be supplied to a common check circuit on a time-shared basis.
