Patent number: 11058436Abstract: A measurement system and method for determining a depth of penetration of a working portion of a surgical instrument (e.g., a rotating drill bit in a bore). A first sensor outputs a first signal representative of a displacement of the leading edge of the drill bit in the bore. A second sensor outputs a second signal representative of a force applied to the leading edge of the drill bit. A processor outputs a third signal representative of the depth of penetration of the leading edge of the drill bit when the leading edge of the drill bit passes from a first medium having a first density to a second medium having a second density. The third signal is based on the first and second signals.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: McGinley Engineered Solutions, LLCInventors: Joseph C. McGinley, Kevin D. Simmons, Peter A. Privitera, Henry K. Sim, Shigeru Tanaka, David J. Rinaldis, Graham R. Faulknor, Martin A. Leugers

Publication number: 20200411256Abstract: Various arrangements of smart home devices are presented herein. A chassis assembly of a smart home device may define one or more compartments. The chassis assembly may include a plurality of cover fasteners. A rotatable cover assembly may be present and configured to be removably attached with the plurality of cover fasteners to the chassis assembly in any rotational orientation and to at least partially cover a front of the chassis assembly. While the rotatable cover is removably attached with the plurality of cover fasteners, the rotatable cover assembly is configured to block access to the one or more compartments defined by the chassis assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2018Publication date: December 31, 2020Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Giancarlo Giustina, Yu-Cheng Pan, Peter Privitera, Chang-Wei Wu, Aditya Narayanan, Ssu-Chieh Yu, Bhaveya Dhall, Jungmin Han, Brian Huynh, Sung Bai
