  • Patent number: 12065829
    Abstract: A cellulose-based structural building panel assembly includes a cross-laminated timber (CLT) core which is reinforced with one or more post-tensioned tendons stressed to a pre-selected tensioning force, following the placement as part of the panel assembly. The tendons are provided within a sleeve which is grouted with a channel formed in an underside of the core and which after post-tensioning of tendons is infilled with a binder securing the tendons in a fully bonded configuration.

  • Patent number: 11955717
    Abstract: A radio frequency system package may include waveguides and loading blocks. The loading blocks may include dielectric material having a high dielectric constant between 13 and 20. Additionally, the loading blocks may be made of mold, epoxy, or the like material, and the loading blocks may fit into a region cut out of the waveguides. Moreover, the loading blocks may lower the cut-off frequency for wireless communication otherwise provided by the waveguides without the loading blocks (e.g., 28 GHz). In particular, the loading blocks may facilitate communication in low mmWave frequencies, such as 24 GHz.

  • Patent number: 11811938
    Abstract: A computing device includes a processor and a machine-readable storage storing instructions. The instructions are executable by the processor to: receive a bit vector representing input data to be tokenized; divide the bit vector into two vector portions; and perform a plurality of rounds of a Feistel network on the two vector portions, each round including converting one vector portion using a table-based hash function that combines multiple tokens retrieved from at least one token table.

  • Patent number: 11281688
    Abstract: This document describes example methods, devices, and computing systems to rank a data string into a ranking value, and de-rank a second value representative of a variation of the ranking value (e.g., cipher value) into a second data string (e.g., cipher string), using a tree data-structure. The tree data-structure defines a domain of values representative of all variations of a set of characters that satisfy a format within which the data string is defined. The ranking value is identified with respect to a first offset value calculated for individual characters of the data string relative to the domain of values of the tree data-structure. The second value is de-ranked into a second data string of individual characters identified with respect to a second offset value calculated in the domain of values of the tree data-structure relative to the second value.

  • Patent number: 10378870
    Abstract: A meltable fuze plug for a munition has an upper flange ringed by a specially corrugated steel washer to absorb impacts of various strength levels from various directions, and against falls, to protect the ogive and munition. The meltable fuze plug renders the munition insensitive. It is formed of a meltable plastic for facilitating venting of the munition's interior areas during unexpected fires or explosions.

  • Patent number: 9579161
    Abstract: A system for tracking a patient is provided. The system can include a first reference frame coupled to a first portion of an anatomical structure. The system can include a second reference frame, which can be coupled to a second portion of the anatomical structure. The system can also include a first tracking device coupled to the first reference frame and a second tracking device coupled to the second reference frame. The system can also include a tracking system that can track a position of the first tracking device and the second tracking device to ensure that the position of the first reference frame relative to the anatomical structure is substantially the same throughout a surgical procedure.

  • Patent number: 8784800
    Abstract: A method of delivering therapy to a target site. The method includes (a) obtaining a base image of the target site, (b) injecting a dose of a mix of a therapeutic agent and a contrast agent into a first injection location at the target site via a needle passing through a catheter, (c) collecting sequential fluoroscopic images of a contrast agent dispersion cloud at the first injection location, (d) determining a contrast agent dispersion area from the sequential fluoroscopic images, (e) determining a therapeutic agent dispersion area from the contrast agent dispersion area, (f) marking the therapeutic agent dispersion area on the base image of the target site, and (g) repeating (b) through (f) until the target site is substantially covered with overlapping therapeutic agent dispersion areas corresponding to a plurality of injections at a plurality of injection locations at the target site.

  • Patent number: 8170035
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for bridging network protocols is disclosed. In one embodiment, a data frame is received and stored in a dual-port memory queue by hardware logic. An embedded processor is notified of the data frame once a programmable number of bytes of the data frame have been received and stored. Once notified, the embedded processor may then undertake to read the data frame from the memory queue while the hardware logic is still writing to the memory queue. In one embodiment, the processor may then translate the data frame's protocol and begin transmitting it out over a network connection, all while the data frame's payload is still being received.

  • Patent number: 7912086
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for bridging network protocols are disclosed. A protocol bridge may be used to function as a target for a network processor while performing a target mode operation, while functioning as an initiator on behalf of the network processor while performing an initiator mode operation. In one embodiment, the protocol bridge determines the mode of operation based on information in a received frame's header. In another embodiment, the protocol bridge couples a Fiber Channel device to a storage processor on a packet-over-SONET network.
