  • Patent number: 11911606
    Abstract: Technologies and implementations for a defibrillator electrode having communicative capabilities are generally disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 9, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 27, 2024
    Assignee: PHYSIO-CONTROL, INC.
    Inventors: Jennifer Jensen, Jennifer Hoss, Mitchell Smith, Kenneth J. Peterson, Maren Nelson, Andres Belalcazar, Daniel W. Piraino, John Knapinski, Matthew Bielstein, Ethan Albright, Jeffery Edwards, Paul Tamura
  • Patent number: 9533864
    Abstract: Vehicles equipped with certain embodiments may be used to pick up a load and to assist the vehicle operator's control of the vehicle in a manner that inhibits damage to the load. In some embodiments, portions of the system measure a distance between a vehicle and a load. The distance measurement is used by a controller in the vehicle to alter one or more of vehicle and/or vehicle component speed, acceleration characteristics, deceleration characteristics, target speed, or speed limit, singularly or in any combination.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6812953
    Abstract: A multiple ink jet printing system comprising a plurality of rows of dark dye nozzles and light dye nozzles. Each row of dark dye nozzles is coupled to a supply of dark dye ink, and each row of light dye nozzles is coupled to a supply of light dye ink. Each of the rows of dark dye nozzles and light dye nozzles are arranged substantially parallel to each other, and at least one row of dark dye nozzles is separated from the next row of dark dye nozzles by at least one row of light dye nozzles.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6536878
    Abstract: This present invention is embodied in a low-cost printing system including a printhead and an ink composition that provides photographic-quality resolution. The printhead of the present invention includes a high-density array of drop generators that eject ink drops having a low drop weight and that operate at a high frequency. Further, high-resistance firing resistors are used to provide minimum energy dissipation and the firing resistors are preferably thin-film resistors to ensure that a minimal amount of energy is needed to eject ink drops. The stability of the ink drop volume is maintained by including an overdamped structure within the ink drop generators that allow the ink chambers to fill up with ink slowly. The ink composition of the present invention includes an ink additive that prevents decel from occurring during sustained high-frequency printing bursts.
