Publication number: 20240148447Abstract: Systems and methods of associating components of a surgical instrument for navigation-assisted surgery, and controlling the surgical instruments. A first association is generated between the end effector and the navigation array from an input based on an arrangement of tracking elements of the navigation array, and an identification signal. A second association is generated between a power source and the navigation array from a battery signal wirelessly transmitted from the power source that is indicative of current being drawn on the power source. The power source may be controlled based on a position and/or an orientation of the end effector and a pose of a patient tracker. Should the position of the end effector cross a predefined virtual boundary, a control signal wirelessly transmitted to the power source may alter the current being supplied to a motor. An inertial sensor may provide a movement signal used for generating an association.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Stryker European Operations LimitedInventors: Richard Evan Stein, Prashanth Chetlur Adithya, Kyle David Hanis, Alison Paige Kuhn, Zachary Bolthouse

Patent number: 11717840Abstract: A foam dispenser having a metal housing has a spool valve socket therein. A metal handle extends from the housing. A spool valve is disposable within the spool valve socket. A trigger couplable to the spool valve enables the spool valve to be rotated between open and closed orientations within the housing. The spool valve has internal channels for selectively passing liquids through the spool valve in the open orientation and not in the closed orientation. The spool valve also has a channel for selectively passing a gas through the spool valve in both the open and closed orientations.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Foam Supplies, Inc.Inventors: James Daniel Kalinich, Todd A.

Patent number: 11501273Abstract: A method for processing a transaction includes receiving, at a terminal and from a user, a selection of a service provider; receiving authentication credential requirements associated with the selected service provider that facilitate authentication of the user by the service provider; and communicating, to the service provider account server, authentication credentials associated with the user that satisfy the authentication credential requirements. When the user is authenticated, the method includes receiving, from the service provider account server, information indicative of an amount owed on an account with the service provider that is associated with the user. The method further includes receiving, via currency processing hardware of the terminal, currency; and communicating transaction information to the service provider account server that indicates an amount of currency received by the terminal to thereby reduce the amount owed on the account by the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: QUOTEPRO KIOSK, LLCInventors: Marco Andres Freudman, Kyle Evan Blair

Patent number: 11306536Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to improved downhole motor designs. In one illustrative embodiment, primary and secondary thrust bearings that are maintained in position by other structural components of the motor without compressive loading of the entire bearing assembly are positioned inside the motor housing for protection from cuttings and debris in the drilling fluid. In some illustrative embodiments, a drive train that features at least one multi-part sectional flex joint may allow for a shortened flex shaft while sufficiently converting eccentric forces from the power source to rotation of the mandrel.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Phoenix Drill Tools, Inc.Inventors: Brock Bennion, Kyle Evans

Patent number: 10781156Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions which may undergo thermolysis to produce a higher purity acrylic acid product. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the compositions comprise polypropiolactone and one or more active salts. The one or more active salts may catalyze thermolysis of the polypropiolactone so that the polymer depolymerizes into acrylic acid monomers. Certain concentrations of the one or more active salts result in higher purity acrylic acid products of thermolysis. In certain preferred embodiments, the one or more active salts include an acrylate group which may decompose under thermolysis to provide acrylic acid and thus decrease the concentration of undesirable contaminants in the acrylic acid product. In certain preferred embodiment, the one or more active salts comprise sodium acrylate.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Novomer, Inc.Inventors: Sadesh H.

Patent number: 10576002Abstract: An adjustable wheelchair headrest system to provide wheelchair users with the ability to control their headrest without assistance form another individual. Some wheelchair users are unable to adjust their headrests without assistance, and as a result, have no control over their head and neck positioning throughout the day. The system provides wheelchair users with a multi-directional adjustable headrest that may be controlled through a mobile device. The system includes a universal mounting system and manually adjustable starting positions for each linear translation and rotational assembly, which allows the system to easily mount to any existing wheelchair. The system enables users to adjust their headrest to suit any situation (driving, watching a movie, eating, etc.). Wheelchair reliant individuals can now enjoy day-to-day comfort, control their own upper body posture, and perform additional tasks without assistance.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: University of South FloridaInventor: Kyle Evan Stottlemyer

Patent number: 10457624Abstract: Reactor systems and processes produce organic acids through thermolysis of polylactones. The reactor systems and processes introduce at least one epoxide reagent and carbon monoxide reagent to at least one reaction vessel through at least one feed stream inlet. The epoxide reagent and carbon monoxide reagent contact at least one carbonylation catalyst to produce at least one beta-lactone intermediate. The beta-lactone intermediate is polymerized with at least one initiator in the presence of a metal cation to produce at least one polylactone product. The polylactone product is heated under thermolysis conditions to produce at least one organic acid product. The processes control the presence of contaminates, impurities, catalytic materials, and/or reagents to provide for highly pure organic acid products.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Novomer, Inc.Inventors: Sadesh H.
