Patent number: 10353858Abstract: A system for controlling a subsystem of a vehicle includes a memory, a first processor, and a second processor. The first processor allocates a portion of the memory upon booting to perform operations to control the subsystem and generates an indication when an amount of memory used from the allocated portion of the memory is greater than or equal to a threshold. The first processor monitors times when the vehicle is turned on and off and determines a time period during which the vehicle remains turned off. After the vehicle is turned off, the first processor enters a power save mode. The memory and the second processor continue to receive power. During the time period, on receiving the indication, the second processor wakes up the first processor, which performs a reboot operation, reallocates the memory, and reenters the power save mode. The memory continues to receive power.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Scott A. Rush, Vadim Draluk

Publication number: 20140222132Abstract: An endoprosthetic device for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms using suprarenal fixation. A stent ring is anchored in an area above the renal arties using self-flaring barbs that project during the nitinol expansion process. Sutures extend from the stent ring to an area below the renal arties to a bifurcated trunk portion comprising a nitinol fabric on a non-kinking frame. The bifurcated trunk is sealed proximal the iliac arteries and includes iliac leg holders having self-flaring retention struts for non-traumatic holding of iliac leg prosthetics. Suprarenal fixation and collapsible cells having retention projections and barbs that only flare during the nitinol expansion process assist in lowering the devices profile and sheathability for percutaneous delivery and may provide for recapturing the anchored device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2014Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: CORDIS CORPORATIONInventors: Donald D. Boucher, Michael Dugery, Kirk L. Johnson, Issac John Khan, David C. Majercak, Scott Rush

Patent number: 7405537Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for estimating the remaining state-of-charge of a non-rechargeable power source, such as a back-up battery for an electronic module normally connected to a primary power source. A processor within the electronic module implements a prediction algorithm, in order to monitor the temperature of the back-up attery, and to calculate various current draws of the back-up battery. The processor adjusts the nominal self-discharge rate of the back-up battery in accordance with the measured temperatures, and calculates an adjusted self-discharge quantity. The processor also accumulates current draw data and reduces the initial state-of-charge value of the back-up battery by the temperature-adjusted self-discharge quantity and the cumulative current draw quantities to determine a remaining state-of-charge of the back-up battery. At a predetermined state-of-charge threshold level, an indicator can be activated to advise a user to replace the back-up battery.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2004Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations, Inc.Inventors: Allan J. Hoffman, Edward J. Abeska, Scott A. Rush

Publication number: 20050137677Abstract: Medical devices, and in particular implantable medical devices, may be coated to minimize or substantially eliminate a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism. The medical devices may be coated with any number of biocompatible materials. Therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may be mixed with the biocompatible materials and affixed to at least a portion of the medical device such as a stent-graft. These therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may also further reduce a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism. In addition, these therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds may be utilized to promote healing, including the formation of blood clots. A stent-graft fabricated from a thin-walled, high strength material provides for a more durable and lower profile endoprosthesis.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2003Publication date: June 23, 2005Inventor: Scott Rush
