Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to current interrupt devices (CIDs) for electrochemical cells that use a thermal trigger (e.g., shape memory and/or bi-metallic materials) to open an electrical circuit just prior to a thermal runaway or during short-circuit event to prevent catastrophic failure of the electrochemical cell. Embodiments include CIDs comprising a housing, a bus bar coupled to the housing, and a thermal trigger operably coupled to the bus bar. In some embodiments, the bus bar can include an engineered fracture site. In some embodiments, the thermal trigger is dimensioned and configured to deform at a predetermined temperature to break the bus bar at the engineered fracture site. In some embodiments, a portion of the bus bar travels about a hinge, opening the electrical circuit and preventing overcharging, thermal runaway, and/or other catastrophic failure events.

Abstract: An implant driver for engaging an orthopedic implant for selective advancement and retraction of the implant. The implant driver includes a first jaw assembly comprising a helical cam surface corresponding with a first direction of rotation. The first jaw assembly is operative to engage, in response to rotation in the first direction, the implant using spherical jaw members disposed in constrictive helical channels. The implant driver includes a second jaw assembly comprising a helical cam surface corresponding with a second direction of rotation. The second jaw assembly is operative to engage, in response to rotation in the second direction, the implant using spherical jaw members disposed in constrictive helical channels. Absent rotation of the first and second jaw assemblies, the spherical jaws may not restrict relative axial movement between the implant and the implant driver to allow for advancement and/or retraction of the instrument relative to the implant.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which may be stored instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to access first identification information associated with the apparatus and send a portion of the first identification information to a server. A list of second identification information may be received from the server having portions that match the sent portion of the first identification information. In some examples, the processor may determine that the apparatus is authorized to communicate apparatus data of the apparatus to a services provider server based on a determination that the first identification information matches a second identification information among the received list of second identification information. Based on a determination that the apparatus is authorized to communicate the apparatus data, the processor may communicate the apparatus data over a network to the services provider server.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include a Doherty amplifier that includes a carrier amplifier having an output terminal, an output network coupled to the output terminal, and a peaking amplifier, wherein the output network comprises a non-linear reactance component, and wherein the non-linear reactance component changes an effective impedance of a load presented to the carrier amplifier when the peaking amplifier is off. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques implemented at least in part by a fuse-monitoring device to detect when a fuse cutout in an electric power system opens to disconnect a device and/or a load from a power line, and provides an indication of a location of the opened fuse cutout to a utility provider. The fuse-monitoring device may be attached to a fuse holder of the fuse cutout, and may include a movement sensor that detects when the fuse holder swings open due to its fuse melting, or blowing. The fuse-monitoring device may send a notification to the utility provider indicating that the fuse holder has swung open. The fuse-monitoring device may include a GPS sensor to determine the location of the fuse cutout, and may also notify the utility provider of the location of the fuse cutout so a line crew can quickly locate the fuse cutout that requires maintenance.

Abstract: A drone comprising a camera and a controller. The camera is configured to output data representing an object within a field of view of the camera. The controller is configured to attempt to maintain a visual line of sight with the object. The controller is also configured to cause control equipment of an operator of the drone to notify the operator of the drone, visually, audibly and/or haptically, as to whether or not the object is being tracked by the drone.
