Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are configured to enable a receiver to provide feedback. In one example, a method performed at a device coupled to a serial bus includes receiving a write command from the serial bus in a datagram, writing a data byte received in a first data frame of the datagram to a register address identified by the datagram, and using a second data frame of the datagram to provide feedback regarding the datagram. Feedback may be provided by driving a data line of the serial bus to provide a negative acknowledgement during the second data frame when a transmission error is detected in the datagram, and refraining from driving the data line of the serial bus during the second data frame when no transmission error is detected in the datagram, thereby providing an acknowledgement of the datagram.

Abstract: An elevator provides for sliding and connecting or disconnecting an electronic device from a chassis circuit board and the subsequent removal of the device from a chassis slot. A sliding element between the device and the chassis includes tracks within which travel followers. Motion of the sliding element in a first direction causes the tracks to move with respect to the followers, pulling the device connector away from the mating circuit board connector. In a fully disconnected position, the device may be removed from the slot. Motion of the sliding element in the opposite direction causes the relative motion between the tracks and followers to urge the device connector toward the circuit board connector until, in a fully seated position, the device is connected to the circuit board.

Abstract: Generally, a computing device displays, on a display device of the computing device, a barcode to be read by a scanning device. When a barcode is displayed on the display device a determination is made as to whether the barcode is not fully displayed on the display device due to hardware of the computing device such as a punch hole in the display device for a camera, speaker, or microphone. If the barcode is not fully displayed due to the hardware of the computing device, the display of the barcode is modified so that the barcode is fully displayed on the display device despite the hardware of the computing device. Additionally or alternatively, if the scanning device has not completed the scan within a threshold amount of time, the display of the barcode on the display device is modified, such as by increasing or decreasing the resolution of the barcode.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods in which a surgeon can use computer-implemented deformity assessment and correction tools to create 3D models of a bone. To ensure adequate healing, a surgeon may choose to use a prefabricated bone plate, a semi-customized bone plate, or a fully-customized bone plate to hold first and second bone portions in a corrected position. To select the appropriate prefabricated bone plate, the surgeon may identify three landmark locations on the first and second bone portions corresponding to desired fixation hole locations on the bone plate. The surgeon can then use a software application to evaluate multiple bone plate designs in a library and compare the average proximity of the landmark locations to fixation hole locations on each of the bone plate designs. Then, the surgeon can determine which bone plate design best fits the patient anatomy based on his comparison.

Abstract: A transaction card comprises a piezoelectric chip configured to detect an impact applied to at least a portion of the transaction card, and generate an electrical pulse signal based on the detected impact. A processing circuitry of the transaction card is coupled to the piezoelectric chip.
