  • Publication number: 20240422007
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes identifying one or more software processes that execute on the endpoint device and that perform at least one file operation including opening a file, reading the file, writing the file, or transmitting the file over a network. The method further includes storing for each software process of the one or more software processes identification information about the file. The method further includes responsive to determining that a triggering event has occurred, performing one or more actions including: preventing deletion of the file, determining one or more attributes of a suspicious process that accessed the file, requesting that a separate component analyze event journal records in relation to a time interval that overlaps with when the suspicious process accessed the file, or transmitting a cryptographic hash of the file to a server.

  • Patent number: 10595959
    Abstract: A cleaning fixture for cleaning a medical device includes a shaft receiving portion configured to receive a shaft and an end effector assembly of the medical device. The shaft receiving portion includes a nozzle disposed towards a distal end of the shaft receiving portion such that the nozzle is positioned adjacent the end effector assembly of the medical device upon receipt of the shaft and end effector assembly of the medical device within the shaft receiving portion. A handle receiving portion is configured to receive the housing and handle of the medical device. The handle receiving portion is releasably securable with the shaft receiving portion to enclose the medical device therein. The handle receiving portion includes a lever activation assembly positioned adjacent the handle and operable to selectively actuate the handle to manipulate the end effector assembly.

  • Patent number: 5403266
    Abstract: A cervical traction collar capable of ambulatory use by a patient comprises a pair of elongated overlying semi-rigid flexible upper and lower support members secured at their ends to encircle the neck, with releasable attachment means such as Velcro fasteners securing the overlying upper and lower support members for adjusting the height of the collar. A tubular, flexible, air-inflatable bladder is secured to the collar so as to project downwardly away from a bottom edge of the lower support member continuously around the bottom of the collar. The bladder is filled with air under pressure from a manually operated air pump to inflate the bladder so that it presses downwardly against the shoulder region of the patient continuously around the lower neck region.
