  • CONNECTOR ENCLOSURE ASSEMBLIES OF MEDICAL DEVICES INCLUDING AN ANGLED LEAD PASSAGEWAY
    Publication number: 20170087358
    Abstract: Connector enclosure assemblies for medical devices provide an angled lead passageway. The lead passageway which is defined by electrical connectors and intervening seals within the connector enclosure assembly establishes the angle relative to a base plane of the connector enclosure assembly. Various other aspects may be included in conjunction with the angled lead passageway, including an angled housing of the connector enclosure assembly, feedthrough pins that extend to the electrical connectors where the feedthrough pins may include angled sections, and a set screw passageway set at an angle relative to the lead passageway to provide fixation of a lead within the lead passageway.

  • Magnetic induction heat engine and heat pipe delivery system and methods of producing and delivering heat
    Patent number: 9544945
    Abstract: A magnetic induction thermal heat unit, capable of producing heat by magnetic field, inducing direct agitation and friction, at the molecular level within a ferrous magnetic or semi-magnetic substrate. The substrate is specifically designed to capitalize on storing the heat generated and then transferring the heat generated to a subsequent device that requires or uses heat as its primary energy source. The system can use both a combination of induction heated substrates that are ferrous or magnetic in various configurations. The substrates can also be joined or bonded to non-magnetic or ferrous materials such as aluminum or copper as a conductive heat path to a heat pipe system where a transfer of thermal energy occurs. Additionally, convective and resultant radiant heat from the magnetic induction system can be directed back into the cumulative total of heat energy produced.

  • Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Device Interference and Spoofing Detector With Timing Mitigation
    Publication number: 20150293234
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for a GNSS interference and spoofing fast detection and mitigation system. A RF signal associated with a PNT device, such as a GNSS receiver, is received. The received RF signal is split into a plurality of sub-data signals. The received RF signal is re-routed by sending each of the plurality of sub-data signals to at least one of a processing module and a switching module. An anomaly associated with a second sub-data signal is detected. The anomaly is detected during a capture period of an adversarial attack on the PNT device, prior to corruption of any associated system depending on outputs from the PNT device. An output of a first sub-data signal of the plurality of sub-data signals is terminated based on the anomaly detected with the second sub-data signal.

  • Digital art undo and redo
    Patent number: 9129416
    Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards saving undo state information for a digital art program. Changed state data is computed (e.g., via GPU-side logic) based upon the state information of the current state of a canvas and the previous state information, e.g., via an XOR operation or parallel XOR operations. The changed state data is compressed into compressed state data, e.g., via run-length encoding, and the compressed state data is stored, e.g., in a circular buffer in GPU memory. For an undo command, the compressed data is decompressed into the changed state data, and the bitwise operation reversed.
