Publication number: 20240090972Abstract: A medical instrument includes an instrument shaft with exit holes near a distal end of the shaft, a tool coupled to the distal end of the shaft, and a backend. The backend may include a mechanism that manipulates a drive element that extends through the shaft and couples to the tool, a fluid inlet, and a fluid channel assembly providing fluid communication between the fluid inlet and the proximal end of the shaft. Cleaning fluid is directed into the fluid inlet, through the fluid channel assembly, and into the shaft. A chassis or other structural piece of the backend may form part of the fluid channel assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc.Inventors: Bram Gilbert Antoon LAMBRECHT, S.

Patent number: 11316553Abstract: An RF clocked device can include a signal processor operable to receive an RF signal having an RF signal frequency and output a clock signal having a clock frequency based on the RF signal frequency. The RF clocked device can also include a clock operable to receive, and operate, using the clock signal. The clock can output at least one of a time and a date. In addition, a clock system can include an RF clocked device. The RF clocked device can include a signal processor operable to receive an RF signal having an RF signal frequency and output a clock signal having a clock frequency based on the RF signal frequency. The RF clocked device can also include a clock operable to receive, and operate, using the clock signal. The clock can output at least one of a time and a date. The clock system can also include a client device operable to receive timing information from the RF clocked device.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Raytheon BBN Technologies, Corp.Inventors: Thomas Gilbert Roden, III, John-Francis Mergen, Christopher Michael Wilder, David Brian Miller, Jr.

Patent number: 11226777Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for cluster configuration information replication, managing cluster-wide service agents, and/or for cluster-wide outage detection. In an example of cluster configuration information replication, a replication workflow corresponding to a storage operation implemented for a storage object (e.g., renaming of a volume) of a first cluster may be transferred to a second storage cluster for selectively implementation. In an example of managing cluster-wide service agents, cluster-wide service agents are deployed to nodes of a cluster storage environment, where a master agent actively processes cluster service calls and standby agents passively wait for reassignment as a failover master in the event the master agent fails. In an example of cluster-wide outage detection, a cluster-wide outage may be determined for a cluster storage environment based upon a number of inaccessible nodes satisfying a cluster outage detection metric.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2020Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Buzzard, Justin Travis Cady, Thomas Gilbert Snyder, Satya R. Venneti, Sakir Yucel

Patent number: 11095610Abstract: An apparatus includes a first communication interface communicable with a portion of a first network, a second communication interface communicable with a portion of a second network, and a memory. The apparatus is configured to be disposed between the portion of the first network and the portion of the second network. The portion of the first network and the portion of the second network are not otherwise coupled together. The apparatus is switchable between a first mode and a second mode. During the first mode, the apparatus is transparent to data transmission and is configured to store information representing the transmitted data. During the second mode, the apparatus is configured to block data transmission between the first network and the second network via the apparatus so as to form an enclaved network segment of the portion of the first network.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Blue Ridge Networks, Inc.Inventors: Thomas A.

Patent number: 10853493Abstract: A system and method for detecting Trojans and other intermittent severe defects in a digital circuit design. A simulation of the digital circuit design results in a value change dump file, which is compiled to form a value change summary file containing counts of the numbers of value changes for the signals in the digital circuit design. A discriminative neural network analyzes the value change summary file to determine whether an intermittent severe defect is present. A corpus of digital circuit designs, with and without intermittent severe defects, is used to train the discriminative neural network. The training process may involve dimensionality reduction of the data, enlargement of the data set, and data compression using an autoencoder.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Raytheon BBN Technologies CorpInventors: Thomas Gilbert Roden, III, James Brian Schneider, Zachary Isaac Grove
