  • Publication number: 20230362291
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for connecting an external composite device to a smart device such as a smartphone using a USB connection. The apparatus allows for the creation of a communication interface between an external composite device such as a PTT device and a smart device with a single USB connector. The interface allows the external device to control transmission and reception of digital audio while simultaneously supporting serial data packets being transmitted to control PTT Press and Release (press and hold) from a USBC-Serial connection. The apparatus may be used with both Android and Iphone smart devices.

  • Patent number: 11728557
    Abstract: A passive-intermodulation-mitigating mounting assembly for a fixture, such as can be affixed to a utility or communications monopole can include a first bracket and a second bracket respectively defining a first through hole and a second through hole. In some examples, a mounting plate supports an antenna or a radio. A fastener can extend through the first through hole and the second through hole, for instance to couple the first bracket with the second bracket to attach the mounting assembly to a fixture. The passive-intermodulation-mitigating mounting assembly can include a bushing that can be inserted into a through hole, and the bushing can physically and electrically isolate the fastener from one or more of the brackets. The isolation of the bushing helps inhibit the passive-intermodulation of the mounting assembly when the fastener extends, via the first bushing, through at least one of the through holes.

  • Publication number: 20230236190
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of screening for agents that can partition in viral condensates and therefore may be effective anti-viral agents. Also disclosed are methods of optimizing the activity and reducing the side effects of known or suspected anti-viral agents by screening the portioning of modified known or suspected anti-viral agents in viral condensates and other condensates occurring in cells (e.g., transcriptional condensates).

  • Patent number: 11697178
    Abstract: Methods of laser processing a transparent material are disclosed. The method may include positioning the transparent material on a carrier and transmitting a laser beam through the transparent material, where the laser beam may be incident on a side of the transparent material opposite the carrier. The transparent material may be substantially transparent to the laser beam and the carrier may include a support base and a laser disruption element. The laser disruption element may disrupt the laser beam transmitted through the transparent material such that the laser beam may not have sufficient intensity below the laser disruption element to damage the support base.

  • Publication number: 20230149167
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a device for reshaping a heart valve. The device may include a central ring about a central axis and a plurality of arms coupled to the central ring, each of the arms coupled to the central ring at a pivot point at a first end of the arm, the arm comprising an attachment feature at a second point along the arm, the pivot point configured to allow movement of the arm about the pivot point through a plane extending radially from the central axis through the arm. Additionally, the plurality of arms may be contractable and may be extendable such that the hooks extend beyond a dilated heart valve. The present disclosure also includes associated methods and systems.

  • Publication number: 20230028648
    Abstract: A transcatheter valve prosthesis includes a stent and a prosthetic valve. The stent is mechanically or balloon expandable. The stent has an inflow portion and an outflow portion. The inflow portion includes a plurality of side openings defined by a plurality of crowns and a plurality of struts. The outflow portion has three circumferentially spaced apart commissure posts. The prosthetic valve is disposed within and secured to at least the outflow portion of the stent. The prosthetic valve is configured to block blood flow in one direction to regulate blood flow through a central lumen of the stent. The commissure posts are configured to flex or bend flex radially inwardly to reduce stresses observed during valve loading and thereby improve or increase tissue durability of the prosthetic valve.

  • Patent number: 10900221
    Abstract: The present application is generally directed to multifunctional flashing devices suitable for installation of lap siding. Flashing devices include a flashing section, a removable supporting section, and one or more alignment features configured to facilitate positioning of the flashing devices adjacent to an installed course of lap siding. The flashing devices may be fastened to a building substrate adjacent to an installed course of lap siding, at locations corresponding to butt joints of an additional course of lap siding. The supporting sections of the flashing devices are configured to retain and support additional cladding elements in position for installation. When the additional cladding elements have been fastened to the building substrate, the supporting section may be removed from the flashing section.
