Publication number: 20240082027Abstract: A distal aortic stent graft assembly including a main body having a proximal end and a distal end. The main body defines a peripheral opening. The proximal end defines a proximal opening. The distal end defines a distal opening. The proximal opening and the distal opening are configured to perfuse blood through the main body when the main body is in a deployed state. The distal aortic stent graft assembly further includes a coupling extending radially from the main body and corresponding to the opening in the main body. The coupling is configured to align with a blood vessel and perfuse blood through the coupling when the coupling is in the deployed state.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Keith PERKINS, Zachary BORGLIN, Mark STIGER, Julie BENTON, Steven CLAESSENS, Travis ROWE, Mark YOUNG

Publication number: 20240078628Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for a high-performance and low-latency implementation of a wavelet-based image compression scheme. A processor may generate, in a single pass for each of a plurality of horizontal and vertical divisions of an image frame, a set of wavelet coefficients for the image frame based on a DWT. The processor may select a set of bits associated with the set of wavelet coefficients to remove based on an entropy coding process. The processor may serialize the set of wavelet coefficients, where the set of serialized wavelet coefficients do not include the set of bits. The processor may output, for a second device, a bitstream including the set of serialized wavelet coefficients.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Juraj OBERT, Aravind SRINIVASA RAGHAVAN, Rex PERKINS, Mark Dale HAACK, Janardhan HARYADI RAMESH, Kevin HAWKINS

Publication number: 20190136912Abstract: A method of setting the clearance of a tapered roller bearing assembly of the type having a housing with an access opening, and in which housing is positioned an input shaft engaging a worm or gears for driving an output gear engaging an output shaft mounted on a bearing assembly for transmitting power. The method includes the steps of first tightening a removable cover in the housing to a point in contact with the bearing assembly and having a predetermined torque value, and thereafter backing the cover away from the bearing assembly by a distance calculated by the following formula: End play setting angle in degrees=(360 degrees)×(Clearance constant)×(Desired bearing clearance in inches)/(Thread pitch in inches). This method achieves a correct clearance setting defined by the end play setting angle in degrees where the cover is rotated by the number of degrees in the end play setting angle to reduce the predetermined torque value.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2018Publication date: May 9, 2019Inventors: Stephen Dunlap, Robert A. Geiser, Phil Gott, Robert N. Holdsworth, Abraham B. McClellan, Mark Perkins

Publication number: 20150202633Abstract: A Garbage Disposal Controls System utility invention that solves the inconvenience problems with using a Garbage Disposal (GD) while also preserving and enhancing safety of the GD for the User. The GD Controls System is applicable to, and provides unique and new functionality to, residential and industrial commercial applications. The invention features are 1) an ability to operate the GD by foot or knee action, 2) an activation delay for safety purposes, delay time being variable and User settable, 3) timed activation of safety devices, 4) a One-Touch capability which controls length of run time, such run time being variable and User settable, 5) automatic water injection during operation, 6) two form factors, which are the Add-On version and the Integrated version. The Garbage Disposal Controls System relies upon micro-controller(or micro-processor) based software that manages sensing and signal interpretation, and carries out sequences of activation actions in timed fashion.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2014Publication date: July 23, 2015Inventor: Alan Mark Perkins

Publication number: 20100171278Abstract: This invention pertains to a multi-function tool that when assembled in different configurations would meet many needs of the home or commercial mechanic. One configuration is height adjustable allowing users to work safely in an elevated position over the engine compartment of a light truck (i.e. half-ton to one-ton vehicle) even if that vehicle is lifted or taller than factory normal. Another configuration is an engine stand to hold a small engine block so the mechanic may repair it. Yet another configuration is a crane or hoist to assist in lifting engines or parts of engines (e.g. heads) out of the engine compartment to prevent injury to the mechanic. This hoist could also aid in lifting the engine or engine parts onto the engine stand or onto another conveyance (i.e. onto a truck).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2010Publication date: July 8, 2010Applicant: NOMAD MANUFACTURING & DISTRIBUTION LTD.Inventor: Mark Perkins
