Patent number: 11844637Abstract: A self-shielded and computer controlled system for performing non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy using a linear accelerator mounted within a two degree-of-freedom radiation shield coupled to a three-degree of freedom patient table is provided. The radiation shield can include an axial shield rotatable about an axial axis and an oblique shield independently rotatable about an oblique axis, thereby providing improved range of trajectories of the therapeutic and diagnostic radiation beams. Such shields can be balanced about their respective axes of rotation and about a common support structure to facilitate ease of movement. Such systems can further include an imaging system to accurately deliver radiation to the treatment target and automatically make corrections needed to maintain the anatomical target at the system isocenter.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2019Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Zap Surgical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Cesare Jenkins, Younes Achkire, Raymond Wilbur, John Adler, Manoocher Birang, Radhika Mohan Bodduluri, Hui Zhang, Tom McDermott, Chris Lee, Kaustubh Sonawale

Patent number: 9795979Abstract: A thermoelectric pumping apparatus for use with a heating device includes a water receptacle. A thermoelectric device includes a “cool” side coupled to the receptacle and an opposed “hot” side, the thermoelectric device generating current upon a temperature differential between the cool and hot sides. A conduction member is proximate the hot side and in selective communication with the heating device. A spring is positioned between a top side of the conduction member and receptacle, the spring being movable between a compressed configuration at which the conduction member is in thermal communication with the hot side of the thermoelectric device and an extended configuration at which the top side of the conduction member is not in thermal communication with the hot side of the thermoelectric device. A water pump is in fluid communication with the water in the receptacle and selectively energized by the thermoelectric device to output the water.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2013Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Inventor: Kenneth John Adler

Publication number: 20160342720Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system and computer program for ranking suspect components in a hardware design that fails verification, based on their likelihood of being actual error sources, and identifying design revisions or branches that are likely to contain actual error sources. The method is implemented as a suspect and revision ranking engine. The ranking engine involves the input of an engineer to provide an initial set of suspects or it can use the application of at least one automated debugging tool for each failure exposed by verification, and collects suspect sets returned by these tools. These tools can be based on simulation, path tracing, ATPG, BDDs, SAT, and QBF techniques. The engine applies either an analytical or statistical process on the suspects that are collected, to identify suspect components that are likely responsible for a large number of design failures.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2016Publication date: November 24, 2016Inventors: Andreas Veneris, Zisis Paraskevas Poulos, Djordje Maksimovic, John Adler

Patent number: 8707164Abstract: In various embodiments of the present invention, documents (eg, PDFs) are converted into HTML 5 (and CSS 3) formats and integrated into existing HTML 5 web pages to preserve the original embedded fonts. The fonts can also be integrated or embedded (e.g., via the standard HTML “iframe” tag) into other web pages. The original appearance of the source document is maintained, the text is preserved as searchable text, and the document is integrated into a web page that can be searched, zoomed, scrolled, and printed utilizing standard web browser controls. A significantly increased “ad inventory” is thereby enabled, wherein advertisements can be integrated between pages, or even within a page. Moreover, the resulting document can be passively shared with members of a user's external social networks (including those within the host website), along with other activities and behaviors performed by the user on the hosting website.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Scribd, Inc.Inventors: John Adler, III, Jared Friedman, Matthias Kramm, Michael Lewis, Matthew Riley
