Publication number: 20240099799Abstract: A sterile sheath configured to enshroud a non-sterile medical device. Certain non-sterile medical equipment, e.g., consoles, computing devices, etc. are not easily sterilizable without damaging the device itself. As such, these non-sterile medical devices remain outside of the sterile field. Engaging sterile medical devices that are within the sterile field with these non-sterile medical devices can compromise the sterility of the sterile field. Disclosed herein is a sheath configured to enshroud a portion of the non-sterile medical device. Further the sheath can include an access port to allow one or more sterile medical devices to engage the non-sterile medical device disposed within the sheath.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Kelton John Michael Stokes, Stefan Josef Fellner

Publication number: 20240100314Abstract: Connection systems and methods establish safe, routine, functional connections between sterile single patient-use (“SPU”) medical devices and multiple patient-use (“MPU”) medical devices. For example, a connection system can include a male connector associated with an SPU medical device and a female connector associated with an MTV medical device. The male connector can include a flexible member therearound but proximal of a plug of the male connector. The female connector can include a rigid member around an opening of a receptacle of the female connector. The flexible member can conform to the rigid member with a procedural barrier therebetween when the plug of the male connector is inserted into the receptacle of the female connector. Upon insertion of the plug of the male connector into the receptacle of the female connector, one or more functional connections can be established across the procedural barrier between the SPU and MPU medical devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Bard Access Systems, Inc.Inventors: Kelton John Michael Stokes, Stefan Josef Fellner

Publication number: 20240086529Abstract: A method includes detecting a user interaction with a particular region of a graphical user interface (GUI), and determining that the user interaction will be consumed by a particular user interface (UI) component that is overlaid by a plurality of UI components configured to allow the user interaction to pass through to the particular UI component. The method also includes, based on determining that the user interaction will be consumed by the particular UI component, determining a cumulative opacity of the plurality of UI components at the particular region of the GUI. The method further includes determining that the cumulative opacity exceeds a threshold opacity and, based on determining that the cumulative opacity exceeds the threshold opacity, blocking the particular UI component from consuming the user interaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2021Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Bernardo Rufino, Linus Tufvesson, Edward Cunningham, Alan Michael Stokes

Publication number: 20220316147Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel stone laying tool which allows for a perfect stone fit for irregularly sized and shaped stones. The tool is a compact, lightweight, one-piece device made from polypropylene and is positioned between two stones. More specifically, the tool has a pointed peg end and an opposite planar wedge end. The tool provides the functions of both a peg and a wedge and therefore eliminates the need to use separate wedges and pegs.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventor: Michael Stokes

Patent number: 10410304Abstract: Provisioning of digital asset management is provided. A service such as a management service retrieves digital assets from external resources in response to a search of the external resources. The digital assets are classified to asset categories, which are used to match the digital assets to suggested actions to dispose of the digital assets in case of an incapacitation of the asset owner. The digital assets, the asset categories, suggested trigger events, or the suggested actions are transmitted to an asset manager to prompt the asset manager customize the digital assets, the asset categories, suggested trigger events, or the suggested actions. A workflow is created from the digital assets, the asset categories, the suggested trigger events, and the suggested actions to dispose of the digital assets in case of the incapacitation of the asset owner.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2015Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Rajmohan Rajagopalan, Michael Stokes

Patent number: 10382528Abstract: Digital asset management with disposition actions based on trigger events are provided. A management service transmits actions to an asset manager to prompt the asset manager to customize the actions. The actions include operations to dispose of digital assets of an asset owner based on a detection of a trigger event. The management service detects a customization and/or a selection of a subset of the actions by the asset manager and monitors the digital assets to detect the trigger event. Once the management service detects the trigger event, the management service executes the subset of the actions to dispose of the digital assets.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2015Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Rajmohan Rajagopalan, Michael Stokes

Patent number: 10007714Abstract: Ongoing management for pre-planned handling of digital presence is provided. A service such as a management service monitors continuously monitors digital assets of an asset owner hosted at external resources. A change to the digital assets retrieved from the external resources is analyzed in response to a detection of the change. The change is processed to reclassify the digital assets into asset categories. The digital assets and the asset categories are matched to suggested actions and suggested trigger events. The suggested actions include operations to dispose of the digital assets in case of an incapacitation of the asset owner. A notification is transmitted to an asset manager to prompt the asset manager to review the updates to the digital assets, the asset categories, the suggested actions, and the suggested trigger events.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2015Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Rajmohan Rajagopalan, Michael Stokes

Patent number: 9980558Abstract: A mounting assembly 100 for mounting a roller brush 12 onto a cleaning apparatus includes a mounting flange 102 and an end cap 104 interconnected together by extension springs 176 spanning therebetween. An idle shaft 106 is slidably mounted in the mounting flange 102 by a bearing interface 108. The distal end of the idle shaft 106 is fixed to the end cap 104 so that the springs 176 that urge the end cap 104 into engagement with the mounting flange 102 also bias the idle shaft to extend forwardly of the mounting flange while also permitting the idle shaft to retract to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the roller brush with the mounting assembly 100. The bearing interface 108 is designed to permit the projecting proximal end of the idle shaft to tilt upwardly to facilitate engagement with and disengagement from the roller brush 12.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2017Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: John Bean Technologies CorporationInventors: Robert R.

Publication number: 20160261635Abstract: Trigger events and confirmation in digital asset management are provided. A service such as a management service monitors digital assets of an asset owner and content associated with the asset owner hosted at external resources. A trigger event is detected within the content or the digital assets. The trigger event identifies information about an incapacitation of the asset owner. A notification is transmitted to an asset manager to prompt the asset manager to validate an incapacitation of the asset owner associated with the trigger event. In response to a confirmation of the incapacitation, actions are executed to dispose of the digital assets.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2015Publication date: September 8, 2016Inventors: Rajmohan Rajagopalan, Michael Stokes
