  • Publication number: 20230181209
    Abstract: A cartilage dicing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes blades disposed in a housing configured to mitigate entry of the cartilage into the housing of the device. The device includes a number of circular blades used to dice the cartilage in a uniform fashion. The blades are disposed in a housing with a base that prevents the tissue from entering the body of the housing, which ensures that more of the tissue is available to be diced and used in a medical procedure. The blades are spaced at uniform distance.

  • Patent number: 10956127
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes accessing documentation and classifying the documentation. The method includes associating the documentation with symbols in a source code index of an integrated development environment. The symbols are of a code base. The method also includes creating annotations to the code base linking the documentation to the symbols associated therewith. A computer program product for an enriched integrated development environment includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are executable by a computer. The program instructions cause the computer to perform the foregoing method. A system includes a processor and logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor. The logic is configured to perform the foregoing method.

  • Patent number: 10835022
    Abstract: A wearable eyeglass holder that holds a temple of a folded pair of eyeglasses in a manner that resists the inadvertent unfolding of the held temple and the wearer's loss of the eyeglasses. The eyeglass holder has a connector that enables it to be attached, in a pendulous manner, to the wearer's neck, clothing, or other object. The eyeglass holder has an oblong body with a double convex shape and a longitudinal inner channel with two oblong openings on the same face of the body. A temple of a pair of eyeglasses, inserted through the upper opening, comes to rest upon a waist extending between the openings. The eyeglasses rest on the waist and a foot of the body provides a second contact point with the temple that maintains it in a closed position.

  • Patent number: 10489189
    Abstract: A computer-implemented mechanism is provided that monitors usage of one or more computing resources within a set of computing components relative to a received workload. The mechanism calculates a maximum workload for the set of computing components from the monitored use of the computing resources within the set of computing components and determines an available overhead between the calculated maximum workload for the set of computing components and a current workload being performed by the set of computing components. The mechanism selects one or more maintenance tasks for the set of computing components, the total workload of the selected maintenance tasks being less than the determined available overhead.

  • Patent number: 8623486
    Abstract: A hybrid data disc, method and system of forming the disc are disclosed. The hybrid disc includes a first substrate structure bonded to a second substrate structure, and at least two data layers of different formats for access from different sides of the disc. One example provides the second substrate structure with a second substrate that has at least one curable material layer on each side of the second substrate, and the curable material has a property that results in shrinkage associated with curing of the material. Other examples provide a data disc with different stacking ring configurations, a thinner substrate and substrate structures of opposite curvature.

  • Patent number: 5717699
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing a programmable logic device (PLD) that provides access to internal nodes of the circuit. The method and apparatus in accordance with the present invention uses a shadow programmable logic device to emulate the target PLD while coupling input and output terminals of the shadow PLD so as to provide more information about the target PLD than can be obtained from the target PLD itself. Also, the shadow PLD can implement internal stimulus and/or response functions to provide improve analyzing capability not possible with the target PLD alone.

  • Patent number: 4153246
    Abstract: This invention relates to a sports net and the mounting structure therefor which are of some height and width used for play or practice of golf, tennis, basketball, baseball or the like and secured to a one or two car garage and mounted in the garage above the top frame. The netting is of scrim, i.e., a coarse, open weave fabric on a plastic roller with a reel and axle support means for storing and lowering the netting. The sports net may be used in the garage for golf or tennis practice in inclement weather or out of doors with the garage door open. The mounting is between the lower edge of the raised garage door and the frame when the garage is raised.
