  • Publication number: 20240108361
    Abstract: A tool arrangement for forming a tunnel in a vertebra to perform nerve ablation includes a tamp having a distal end portion that includes a tip for creating the tunnel in the vertebra and a curvable portion to direct the tip along a curved path within the vertebra; a first cannula including a cannula body that is straight along an entire length of the cannula body and configured to receive the curvable portion of the tamp and straighten the curvable portion; and a tool hub including a stationary cannula attachment coupled to the first cannula and a movable head coupled to the tamp and configured to move toward or away from the stationary cannula attachment to extend or retract, respectively, the curvable portion of the tamp from or into, respectively, the first cannula.

  • Patent number: 11941008
    Abstract: The CONVERGED MERCHANT PROCESSING APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“CMP”) facilitates the generation of user accounts with merchants. The user may be logged into an electronic wallet or issuer account, and may initiate an account generation process with a one-click mechanism. The CMP may provide information to the merchant in order to facilitate the generation of the account after receiving data from the electronic wallet or issuer.

  • Publication number: 20240080780
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing maximum transmit power control when utilizing multiple radio access technologies. For example, a wireless communication device comprising two cellular radios may intend to transmit on the first radio, while concurrently transmitting on the second radio. To ensure compliance with a maximum transmit power limitation, the device may determine an allowed transmit power level of the first radio, representing a difference between the maximum transmit power limitation and the current transmit power level being transmitted by the second radio. The device may also determine a threshold power level for a communication by the first radio. If the allowed transmit power level meets the threshold power level, then the device may transmit the first communication having a power level between the threshold power level and the allowed transmit power level. Otherwise, the device may forego transmission of the first communication.

  • Publication number: 20190087879
    Abstract: Improved searching for network-based publication systems is provided via improved item listings. A set of rules is obtained that include string similarity functions generated from character patterns that contain unconventional character sequences not included in user search queries. Marketplace listing information is obtained from a user, where the marketplace listing information includes a listing title. The listing title is analyzed using the set of rules to identify at least one character pattern in the listing title based on a similarity between the listing title and the at least one character pattern determined using at least one of the string similarity functions. A request for a new listing title is generated based on identifying the at least one character pattern in the listing title.

  • Patent number: 10204362
    Abstract: One example embodiment relates to a method that comprises receiving marketplace listing information from a user, the marketplace listing information including a listing title, and accessing a plurality of character patterns for attracting attention to marketplace listings. The method includes analyzing, using one or more processors, the listing title to identify at least one of the plurality of character patterns in the listing title. A request for a new listing title is generated based on identifying at least one of the plurality of character patterns in the listing title.

  • Patent number: 6404654
    Abstract: A self-oscillation type resonant flyback converter includes a series combination of a primary winding and a switching transistor. A secondary winding is connected to a power diode and to an output capacitor. A feedback winding is connected to a delay driving circuit comprising a delay diode, a constant-current diode and a capacitor. The delay driving circuit is provided to delay a positive feedback signal from said feedback winding, so that when said power diode becomes non-conducting, said delay diode becomes in the reverse conduction state, starting a free resonance period that concludes when the said delay diode becomes non-conducting and the switching transistor is achieved at zero voltage switching.

  • Patent number: 5222430
    Abstract: A juicer/mixer includes an actuating device for providing electrical power to a rotating shaft thereon, to which a squeezing housing device is engaged, thus allowing food to be processed in the squeezing housing device. Food is milled in the squeezing housing device and, after double filtering, juice is obtained from a juice outlet, and the dregs are remained in an inside wall of the squeezing housing device. A dreg displacement switch is provided to trigger a stopper to expel the dregs via a dreg outlet device by utilizing centrifugal force.
