Publication number: 20180154140Abstract: The present disclosure relates to neuromuscular stimulation and sensing cuffs. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff has at least two fingers and a plurality of electrodes disposed on each finger. More generally, the neuromuscular stimulation cuff includes an outer, reusable component and an inner, disposable component. One or more electrodes are housed within the reusable component. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff may be produced by providing an insulating substrate layer, forming a conductive circuit on the substrate layer to form a conductive circuit layer, adhering a cover layer onto the conductive circuit layer to form a flexible circuit, and cutting at least one flexible finger from the flexible circuit. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff employs a flexible multi-electrode design which allows for reanimation of complex muscle movements in a patient, including individual finger movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2016Publication date: June 7, 2018Inventors: Chad E.

Publication number: 20100023201Abstract: A computer implemented apparatus, and computer usable program code for automatically obtaining vehicle data. In one advantageous embodiment a computer implemented method monitors a vehicle for events over a wireless interface. In response to receiving an event sent over the wireless interface by the vehicle, a determination is made whether vehicle data is needed for the event based on a policy. A request for the vehicle data is sent over the wireless interface to the vehicle in response to a determination that vehicle data is needed. The vehicle data is stored in response to receiving the vehicle data over the wireless interface from the vehicle. The vehicle data stored after receiving the vehicle data from the vehicle is analyzed to form an analysis. A set of fault conditions may be identified using the analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2008Publication date: January 28, 2010Inventors: David Scott Kinney, James L.

Patent number: 7191188Abstract: An Adaptive Software Application consists of several types of modules, called Adaptive Units, which are highly parameterized such that they can adapt to varying business requirements by virtue of externally provided parameters. An Adaptive Application is assembled through repeated use of various combinations of different types of Adaptive Units. Large and complex business systems can be rapidly implemented through this approach. An Adaptive Unit includes an interface component that can present information to and accept information from the outside world (such as a web page or a system interface), a processing logic component that can manipulate and evaluate information based on received parameters received (such as comparisons and decisions as in the case of data dependency decisions), and a data persistence logic component that retrieves, adds, updates, and deletes data targeting one or more Occurrence Databases. All three components of an Adaptive Unit are parameter driven.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2004Date of Patent: March 13, 2007Assignee: Adaptik CorporationInventors: Tamer Uluakar, John Bartholomew Pettit, III, Lutfu Batakci, Bulent Kivanc, Govindaraj Kadambi, Christopher Fredrick Merkel

Patent number: 7148632Abstract: A lighting device that can generate light of variable color and intensity under processor control. Multiple lighting devices of a modular design can be incorporated into a lighting system to illuminate larger areas. A lighting module includes three groups of LEDs each of which generates light of a different color whose intensity can be controlled. A lighting system can be formed by coupling multiple lighting devices to a central controller comprising an operator interface panel and an interface to an external computer. The external computer can be provided with programming tools that allow the creation of lighting programs for controlling the operation of the lighting system. A user can select programs or modify the operation of the lighting system from the operator interface panel provided at the central controller or from the external computer. Procedures are provided for calibrating the color and power output of each lighting device.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2003Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Luminator Holding, L.P.Inventors: George Berman, Jerry Haden Graves, John Bartholomew Gunter
