  • Patent number: 11986357
    Abstract: A single-use handle is configured to attach to a working shaft that can support a sounder for measuring the medullary canal of a proximal radius, and a planarizer that is configured to planarize a proximal edge of the proximal radius after the proximal radius has been resected. The handle can further include a plurality of sizing cavities that are configured to receive the resected bone so as to determine the size of the resected bone. The handle can further include an ejector that is configured to decouple the planarizer from the working shaft.

  • Publication number: 20240126832
    Abstract: A method comprises receiving a kernel used to convolve with an input tensor. For a first dimension of the kernel, a square block of values for each single dimensional vector of the kernel that includes all rotations of that single dimensional vector is generated. For each additional dimension of the kernel, group blocks of an immediately preceding dimension into sets of blocks, each set of blocks including blocks of the immediately preceding dimension that are aligned along a vector that is parallel to the axis of the dimension; and generate, for the additional dimension, one or more blocks of values, each block including all rotations of blocks within each of the sets of blocks of the immediately preceding dimension. The block of values corresponding to the last dimension in the additional dimensions of the kernel is output as the expanded kernel.

  • Patent number: 11936959
    Abstract: Television tuner emulation techniques are described. In an implementation, a television tuner is emulated through execution of software on a processing system by a computing device, the emulated television tuner includes functionality to obtain television content over an Internet Protocol (IP) based network. The functionality of the emulated television tuner is exposed to one or more applications that are executed by the computing device such that the application is not aware that the television tuner is emulated through execution of the software.

  • Patent number: 10644509
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques to evaluate power usage and characteristics on a power distribution system. The power distribution system may include local distribution systems as well as transmission systems. Additionally, this disclosure describes techniques to evaluate the power load on a power system, for example, by using two variable characteristics to model a power load as a sum of a constant impedance load and a constant power load.

  • Patent number: 6788195
    Abstract: A monitor for a light circuit comprising a power source, a light being monitored, and a sense resistor. A first voltage amplifier circuit connected to the light circuit has a first output signal representing the voltage across the sense resistor. A second voltage amplifier circuit connected to the circuit has a second output signal representing the voltage across the sense resistor. A microprocessor is configured to receive the output signals from the first and second voltage measuring circuit and is programmed to calculate the current to the light based on the first and second digital output signals, compare the calculated current against a threshold current, and initiate a failure signal if the calculated current is less than the threshold current. A visual indicator activates if the microprocessor initiates a failure signal, whereby the activated indicator notifies that the light is not operating correctly.
