Publication number: 20240083244Abstract: An electric power take-off system for mounting to a truck body to complement an existing power-take-off system powered by an internal combustion engine. The system includes a motor, battery, fluid reservoir, pump and a digital sensing unit for sensing at least one of fluid pressure or a fluid flow rate within the fluid delivery conduit. The digital sensing unit also includes an output capability. The system also includes a motor controller in operable communication with the digital sensing unit as well as the motor for instantaneously controlling the rotational speed of the motor. The motor controller in turn limits operation of the motor only to occasions of truck function operation initiated by the system operator.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Frank Miele, Fred Ross, JR., Benjamin A. Link, Richard L. Smith, Nathanael Quinn Armstrong

Publication number: 20240071178Abstract: An apparatus, system, computer-readable medium, and/or process to perform a house-based game matrix and provide information to a display device. The house-based game matrix may include a plurality of selectable gaming units (e.g., squares for a squares game for a sports betting event). Each selectable gaming unit may be associated with a first gaming number from a first set of event gaming numbers and a second gaming number from a second set of event gaming numbers. The score of the event associated with the house-based game matrix may be monitored. For a selected gaming unit made by the display device, the first score number with the first gaming number of the selected gaming unit and the second score number with the second gaming number of the selected gaming unit may be compared.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Richard Schwartz, Mattias Stetz, Ali Hajjafar, Dan Quinn, Vladislav Köster

Patent number: 11707326Abstract: A method comprises the steps of: imaging a patient anatomy; selecting an implant strategy for at least one bone fastener having a first member; registering the imaging of the patient anatomy with imaging of at least a portion of a robot; engaging the first member with tissue of the patient anatomy via robotic guidance according to the implant strategy; and subsequently, manipulating the patient anatomy. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Mark C. Dace, Richard Quinn Brown, Rodney Ray Ballard, William Alan Rezach

Publication number: 20220396077Abstract: Examples of electrical connectors are provided herein. In some examples, an electrical connector includes a contact pad at a first end of a route. In some examples, the electrical connector includes a bond at a second end of the route. In some examples, the contact pad and the bond include a copper layer on a substrate, a nickel layer on the copper layer, and a gold layer on the nickel layer. In some examples, the gold layer has a first thickness on the contact pad and has a second thickness on the bond. In some examples, the second thickness is greater than the first thickness.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2019Publication date: December 15, 2022Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Paul David Schweitzer, Max Richard Quinn, Daren L. Forrest, Thomas Stafford Johnson

Patent number: 11490883Abstract: An assembly for remotely manipulating a patient's spine. A compressor/distractor mechanism attaches to spinal anatomy or vertebral screws on adjacent vertebrae at a spinal surgical site on a patient's spine. A flexible cable is operatively connected to the compressor/distractor mechanism and to a control mechanism. The control mechanism manipulates the flexible cable, controlling the compressor/distractor mechanism to compress or distract the vertebrae. A rotatable surgical table with a remote control can be used in place of the compressor/distractor mechanism and the control mechanism. The rotatable surgical table can rotate the patient to place the spinal surgical site in a desired compressed or distracted position, and to place the patient in a desired orientation with respect to a horizontal reference plane.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: WARSAW ORTHOPEDIC, INC.Inventors: Keith E. Miller, Richard Quinn Brown
