Publication number: 20220287270Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag insertion cartridge configured for use in implanting a flexible RFID tag into a small animal using a needle-retraction implant tool. In embodiments, the cartridge includes a cartridge housing and a bevel cap. In embodiments, the cartridge housing is configured to receive a carriage portion inserted into a first end of the cartridge housing with a retractable needle extended out of a second end of the carriage portion to present the retractable needle in an extended position with the RFID tag carried within the retractable needle. In embodiments, the bevel cap has a proximal portion with a mating feature configured to mate with the cartridge housing and one or more needle capture elements configured to selectively couple to the needle in the extended position in a side-mountable manner without a direct axial force being exerted on the needle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: Somark Group Pty LtdInventors: Adrian Knight, Paul Donohoe, Joe Nebolan, Steve Elliott, Alexander Bates

Patent number: 9311603Abstract: A system and method assesses and manages risk of an operation of a user. A rules engine of computer executable instructions stored in the storage device determines at least one of a safety risk measurement based on key performance indicators, an operational safety risk measurement for the operation as a function of the operational safety risk measurement information stored in a storage device and/or a conditional safety risk measurement for the operation as a function of the conditional safety risk measurement information stored in the storage device. A processor connected to the storage device executes the rules engine. An output interface connected to the processor indicates the determined safety risk for the operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2015Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Invensys Systems, Inc.Inventors: Peter G. Martin, Steve Elliott, Ajay Mishra

Patent number: 9137222Abstract: In one embodiment, a proxy receives, from a client node, a file to be stored by a cloud storage server, where the proxy and the client node are part of a private network that does not include the cloud storage server. The proxy retrieves an encryption key associated with a user of the client node and encrypts the file using the encryption key. The proxy then transmits the encrypted file to the cloud storage server.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignees: VMware, Inc., Decho CorporationInventors: Edward Scarlett Haeger, Karl Schurig, Michael Cenname, Steve Elliott, Andrew Skowronski

Publication number: 20070055790Abstract: A portable ultra wideband device wirelessly connects to personal computers and other computing or consumer devices with an ultra-high speed link. The ultra wideband device provides data storage and retrieval functionalities. Data or information is formatted for ultra wideband wireless transmission at a transmitting device. The data is transmitted from an ultra wideband communication interface of the transmitting device over a wireless medium to the receiving device. The data transmission is transparent to the receiving device. An ultra wideband communication interface on the receiving device processes the data according to an ultra wideband protocol. The original data is parsed from the file and translated into its original format which is supported by an application on the receiving device. The original data is used to execute a read/write action on a storage device of the receiving device such that the translated data is automatically available to the receiving device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2005Publication date: March 8, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Richard Yao, Steve Elliott, Ya-Qin Zhang

Patent number: 5257279Abstract: An assembly for use in a laser instrument which produces a plane of laser light by reflection from a cone. The assembly includes a weak focusing lens which improves the control over the planarity of the plane of light produced. Because it is weak, the weak focusing lens can be positioned over a relatively large distance to produce slight changes in the focus of the beam which is reflected to produce the plane of light. Critical, time consuming, and expensive manufacturing requirements can be relaxed, while improved performance results in superior laser instruments.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1992Date of Patent: October 26, 1993Assignee: Spectra-Physics Laserplane, Inc.Inventors: John P. Dugan, James N. Hayes, Steve Elliott
