  • Publication number: 20210121155
    Abstract: A position monitoring system is provided that includes a tracheal tube having a distal portion with a radiopaque indicator. The tracheal tube is configured to be positioned within an airway of a patient. The position monitoring system also includes an external sensor configured to be positioned on an external surface of the patient. The external sensor includes an emitter configured to transmit energy into the patient and toward the distal portion and a detector configured to receive a reflected portion of the energy to permit identification of a position of the distal portion. The position monitoring system, in certain embodiments, further includes a video laryngoscope communicatively coupled to the external sensor. The video laryngoscope includes a display and a processor, and the processor is configured to instruct the display to present an indication of the position of the distal portion based on feedback from the detector.

  • Patent number: 10572584
    Abstract: A system for spreadsheet region and cell sharing includes an interface and a processor. The interface is to receive an indication to modify a first cell of a first document, wherein a first user is associated with the first document and with a first set of user access descriptors. The processor is to determine whether the first user has write permission for the first cell based on the first set of user access descriptors; and in the event that the first user has write permission: indicate a modification to a location in a database storage location referenced by a pointer formula associated with the first cell; and modify a second cell in a second document based on a dependency graph, wherein the second document is associated with a second user different from the first user.

  • Patent number: 10552530
    Abstract: A system for spreadsheet region and cell sharing using formula templates includes a processor and an interface. The processor is to parse a formula of a first cell of a first spreadsheet document for a second cell, the first spreadsheet document being associated with a first user having a set of user access descriptors and to determine, based on the set of user access descriptors, whether the first user has access to one or more canonical names referenced in the formula. The interface is to provide display information to the first user either the canonical name in the event that the first user has access to the canonical name or an opaque identifier in the event that the first user does not have access to the canonical name.

  • Patent number: 10482172
    Abstract: A system for spreadsheet region and cell sharing permissions includes an interface and a processor. An interface is to receive a request to display a subset of a spreadsheet document. A processor is to: determine whether to enable display access to the subset of the spreadsheet document based at least in part on a set of user access descriptors; in the event that display access is enabled, provide data associated with the subset of the spreadsheet document for display; and in the event that display access is not enabled, provide an indication of access denial for display.

  • Patent number: 10437922
    Abstract: A system for converting units of measure for spreadsheet cell values includes a processor. The processor is to host a spreadsheet document; associate a first measure and a first unit of measure; associate a second measure and a second unit of measure; determine whether the first unit of measure and the second unit of measure are comparable; and convert the first measure or the second measure into a third measure in the event that the first unit of measure and the second unit of measure are comparable.

  • Patent number: 10394947
    Abstract: A system for performing units-based math for spreadsheet cell values includes a processor. The processor is to host a spreadsheet document; parse a formula containing a first measure, a first unit of measure, and an operator; in the event that the first unit of measure and the operator are compatible, determine a resulting measure by applying the operator to the first measure; determine a resulting unit of measure; and associate the resulting measure with the resulting unit of measure.

  • Publication number: 20170020517
    Abstract: A surgical stapler including a hollow shaft and a tube slidable axially within the shaft between a forward position wherein one end of the tube projects beyond a free end of the shaft to enter a puncture site in a blood vessel and a rearward position wherein the end of the locator tube is retracted within the shaft. A surgical staple straddles the tube and is slidable thereon forwardly towards an anvil against which the staple may be deformed to staple together the opposite edges of the puncture site. A cam mechanism drives the staple forwardly along the tube into deforming engagement with the anvil and at the same time retracts the tube into the shaft in time to allow the legs of the staple to close onto the puncture site.
