Patent number: 11974793Abstract: A method facilitates the treatment of the spine of a patient by providing simultaneous access through at least a first opening and a second opening formed in the patient. For example, the method can include the acts of positioning the patient on a surgical table, providing the first opening into a posterior portion of the patient, providing the second opening into a lateral portion of the patient, inserting a first device through the first opening into the patient to contact the spine in a first direction that is transverse to the coronal plane of the patient, and inserting a second device through the second opening into the patient to contact the spine in a second direction that is transverse to the sagittal plane of the patient, where the first and second openings are accessible simultaneously, and, when the first and second devises are inserted into the patient, the position of the patient is stationary with respect to a portion of the table.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey W. Beale, Thomas A. Carls, Richard A. Hynes, Matthew M. Morrison

Patent number: 11874877Abstract: A method uses natural language for visual analysis of a dataset, and is performed at a computer having a display, processors, and memory. The computer displays a data visualization based on a dataset retrieved from a database and receives a first user input to specify a natural language command related to the displayed data visualization. Based on the displayed data visualization and the natural language command, the computer identifies an initial range of values for a first data field in the dataset and displays an editable user interface control showing the initial range of values. The computer receives a second user input, at the user interface control, specifying a modified range of values for the first data field and retrieves an updated dataset from the database using the modified range of values for the first data field. The computer then updates the displayed data visualization using the updated dataset.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Tableau Software, Inc.Inventors: Vidya Raghavan Setlur, Sarah E. Battersby, Melanie Karla Tory, Richard Carl Gossweiler, III, Angel Xuan Chang, Isaac James Dykeman, MD Enamul Hoque Prince

Patent number: 11428461Abstract: An apparatus includes a high side heat exchanger, a load, a compressor, a belt, a first bin, a second bin, and a controller. The high side heat exchanger removes heat from a refrigerant. The load uses the refrigerant to cool an enclosed space. The compressor compresses the refrigerant. The first and second bins are coupled to the belt and positioned within the enclosed space. The controller receives a first message, determines that the first bin should be selected, and cycles the belt to move the first bin to a retrieval location within the enclosed space. The controller also receives a second message, determines that the second bin should be selected, and cycles the belt to move the second bin to the retrieval location.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Heatcraft Refrigeration Products LLCInventors: Jonathan David Douglas, Kristal Chante Parker, Richard Carl Wise
