Patent number: 11950832Abstract: Concepts presented herein relate to an interface module that can be electrically coupled to an electrical stimulation generator, a radio frequency generator and an instrument. A selection module is coupled to the interface module and operates in a first mode to deliver electrical stimulation signals from the electrical stimulation generator to the instrument and in a second mode to deliver radio frequency signals from the radio frequency generator to the instrument.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MEDTRONIC XOMED, INC.Inventors: Kevin Lee McFarlin, John C. Bruce, David C. Hacker, Robert Allen Tucker

Publication number: 20200034014Abstract: A computer implemented dual graphical user interface system having a dual graphical user interface program executable to segregate a patient's medical record into two distinct interacting parts which correspond with the use of a first graphical user interface and a second graphical user interface and correspondingly segregated in a first image display area and a second image display area. The first graphical user interface interactive with the user allows viewing of the cumulative electronic medical records of one or more patients and a second graphical user interface interactive with the user allows entry of information into the electronic medical record of one or more patients. The first and second graphical user interface allowing independent user interaction while interoperably connected to update the first graphical user interface with patient data entered into the second graphical user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Applicant: Gemini Interface Solutions LLCInventors: Robert C. Bruce, Lisa R. Bruce

Patent number: 5534125Abstract: To sequence DNA, DNA samples marked with flourscent infrared dye are applied at a plurality of locations for electrophoresing in a plurality of channels through a gel electrophoresis slab. The channels are scanned with a laser and a sensor, that include a microscope focused on the gel slab. The focal point and slab are adjusted with respect to each other so that the focal point of the microscope remains on the gel slab during a scan. The data from the scan is directly used to amplitude modulate density readings on a display, and the scan is displayed in a horizontal sweep of a cathode ray tube, whereby said cathode ray tube provides intensity displays of bands representing DNA. Different sizes of glass gel sandwiches may be mounted to the same console for different sequencing tasks.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 1994Date of Patent: July 9, 1996Assignee: Li-Cor, Inc.Inventors: Lyle R. Middendorf, Robert C. Bruce, Robert D. Eckles
