  • Patent number: 11883069
    Abstract: A medical device may include a shaft extending between a proximal end and a distal end. The shaft may include a lumen therein. The medical device may include a handle coupled to the proximal end of the shaft and may include a mode selector. The mode selector may be adapted to transition between a first mode and a second mode of the medical device. The medical device may further include a compressed fluid source. In the first mode, the compressed fluid source may be fluidly coupled with the shaft so as to impart a negative pressure in at least a portion of the lumen. In the second mode, the compressed fluid source may be fluidly coupled with the shaft so as to impart a positive pressure in the at least a portion of the lumen.

  • Publication number: 20220063960
    Abstract: A system includes an input/output (I/O) interface, a processor coupled to the I/O interface, and a memory accessible to the processor. The I/O interface may be configured to receive data from one or more sensors and to provide control signals to one or more actuators. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive sensor signals from the one or more sensors and send actuator signals to the one or more actuators to control movement of a plurality of discrete stair lifts of a staircase based on the received sensor signals.

  • Patent number: 10984501
    Abstract: File exploration is facilitated by enabling zoom with respect to a thumbnail as a function of an identified point of interest. More particularly, a scaled thumbnail of the same size as a thumbnail can be presented as a function of an identified point of interest. Furthermore, navigation, among other things, is enabled to allow panning with respect to a scaled thumbnail, for instance.

  • Publication number: 20210061617
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a stairway system may include a staircase having a plurality of steps and including a plurality of actuators. Each step may be coupled to one or more actuators and may be configured to move vertically in coordination with one or more other steps to provide a virtual platform to carry a user from a first elevation to a second elevation as the user moves. A control system may cause the virtual platform to move continuously along the staircase by progressively adjusting a sequential set of steps to a common elevation, such that a user can walk forward across a level platform formed from two or more steps while the virtual platform changes elevation carrying the user.

  • Patent number: 10489882
    Abstract: File exploration is facilitated by enabling zoom with respect to a thumbnail based on an identified point of interest. More particularly, a scaled thumbnail of the same size as a thumbnail can be generated and presented based on an identified point of interest. In one instance, a scaled thumbnail can be generated automatically by repositioning an image based on a point of interest and applying a scaling factor to the image behind a fixed clipping mask of the same size as the thumbnail. Furthermore, navigation, among other things, is enabled to allow panning with respect to a scaled thumbnail.
