Publication number: 20250056375Abstract: An approach for detecting unplanned changes in the link performance of a delay tolerant network and making automatic and immediate adjustments to the contact plans of the network to provide route revisions that will reallocate traffic load to improve network performance. Physical layer information is used to predict link performance and to adapt route computation to avoid disruption and to optimize contact performance. Prediction is based on advanced software defined radio observable phenomena such as signal to noise ratio, background noise measurements, and forward error correction bit error counts. This approach can enable a delay-tolerant network node to recompute routes and revise bundle forwarding decisions automatically in response to changes in the properties of the communication link.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Applicant: TCT Networks CorporationInventors: Ronny Bull, Michael Moore, John Cook, David Cook, Scott Burleigh, Joshua Waszkiewicz, Joel Seif

Patent number: 10485558Abstract: A bone harvesting device may facilitate the removal of bone from a surgical site, for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. The device may have a harvester tube, a harvester tube fitting, and a slide hammer. The harvester tube may have a proximal end, a distal end, and a hollow portion that can receive a sample of the bone and/or a plunger with a point that breaches cortical bone. The harvester tube fitting may be coupled to the proximal end of the harvester tube, and may receive impact to urge the distal end of the harvester tube into the bone. The slide hammer may translate along the harvester tube and impact the harvester tube fitting to urge removal of the proximal end from the bone. Complementary attachment features on the harvester tube fitting and the slide hammer may detachably couple the slide hammer to the harvester tube fitting.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2016Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Inventor: Joshua Cook
