  • Patent number: 10056005
    Abstract: A mission-based cyber training platform allows both offensive and defensive oriented participants to test their skills in a game-based virtual environment against a live or virtual opponent. The system builds realistic virtual environments to perform the training in an isolated and controlled setting. Dynamic configuration supports unique missions using a combination of real and/or virtual machines, software resources, tools, and network components. Game engine behaves in a manner that will vary if participant attempts to replay a scenario based upon alternate options available to the engine. Scoring and leader boards are used to identify skill gaps/strengths and measure performance for each training participant. A detailed assessment of a player's performance is provided at the end of the mission and is stored in a user profile/training record.

  • Publication number: 20180035871
    Abstract: A handpiece for interfacing with an instrument tip. The handpiece includes a tube end having an interface at a distalmost end thereof and configured to attach to the instrument tip, the tube end having a retention seal channel about an exterior of the tube end, a retention seal fixedly positioned in the retention seal channel, the retention seal having a sealing ring channel about an exterior of the retention seal, an elastically-deformable sealing ring press-fit into the sealing ring channel such that the sealing ring is immovable in a longitudinal direction of the tube, and an outer sheath positioned about the tube end such that the outer sheath and tube end sandwich the sealing ring and at least a portion of the retention seal.

  • Patent number: 9354202
    Abstract: A system configured to determine the mass of an object. The system generates a first output signal by transmitting an excitation signal through an oscillating resonator array. The oscillating resonator array includes a first oscillating resonator, a second oscillating resonator; and an electronic component coupled between the first oscillating resonator and the second oscillating resonator. A user adds an object to a surface of the oscillating resonator array. After adding the object, the system generates a second output signal by transmitting the excitation signal through the oscillating resonator array and determines a phase difference between the first output signal and the second output signal.
