Patent number: 11945021Abstract: A needle bending assembly configured to at least temporarily contain a needle can include a first housing section, a second housing section, and a coupling element coupled between the first housing section and the second housing section. The first housing section defines a first cavity configured to at least temporarily contain a first section of the needle. The second housing section defines a second cavity configured to at least temporarily contain a second section of the needle forming a distal tip. The coupling element is configured such that when the needle is contained within the housing sections, movement of the second housing section relative to the first housing section results in a bending of the needle at a location corresponding to the coupling element.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: BendRx, Inc.Inventors: Scott Edward Parazynski, John Spiegel Michels, Jr., Jeffrey William Bull, Roy Melling

Publication number: 20230259371Abstract: Dynamically overriding a function based on a capability set. A computer system reads a portion of an executable image file. The portion includes a first memory address corresponding to a first callee function implementation. The first memory address was inserted into the portion by a compiler toolchain. Based on extensible metadata included in the executable image file, and based on a capability set that is specific to the computer system, the computer system determines a second memory address corresponding to a second callee function implementation. Before execution of the portion, the computer system modifies the portion to replace the first memory address with the second memory address.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Pranav KANT, Joseph Norman BIALEK, Xiang FAN, YongKang ZHU, Gabriel Thomas Kodjo DOS REIS, Russell Bivens KELDORPH, Mehmet IYIGUN, Russell Charles HADLEY, Roy WILLIAMS, Kenneth Dean JOHNSON, Pedro Miguel SEQUEIRA DE JUSTO TEIXEIRA, Yevgeniy BAK
