  • Publication number: 20240160501
    Abstract: A first framework uses an actor pattern and a second framework uses an event based asynchronous pattern in a computing system. The computing system runs a compatibility layer configured to enable interoperation between the first framework and the second framework. A first message for a first component associated with the first framework is mapped to a second message that provides a corresponding result for a second component associated with the second framework.

  • Patent number: 11969540
    Abstract: A suction and irrigation implement includes a handpiece, a pair of aligned adjacent valve assemblies, a rocker and a hub. The body may be transparent to allow visualization of aspirated substances. The valve assemblies include a plunger with a conical core that increases the area of the valve opening with increased depression. The rocker, a pivoting actuator, opens one valve assembly at a time, thereby preventing simultaneous irrigation and suction. A suction and irrigation tube connects to the hub, which may be rotated to adjust the orientation of the tube, while the implement is in use. Detents define specific orientations.

  • Patent number: 11974418
    Abstract: This document describes a light-sealing gasket with crossbar force distribution. The gasket can be used in an electronic device with a sensor package that is capable of transmitting and receiving signals and is positioned behind a display of the device. The gasket provides a shield between the receive signals and the transmit signals, prevents signal crosstalk, and protects the delicate panel layer of the display. Use of this gasket in an electronic device allows manufacturers to add more features to the device and enrich the user experience.

  • Publication number: 20240122484
    Abstract: Exemplified methods and systems facilitate presentation of data derived from measurements of the heart in a non-invasive procedure (e.g., via phase space tomography analysis). In particular, the exemplified methods and systems facilitate presentation of such measurements in a graphical user interface, or “GUI” (e.g., associated with a healthcare provider web portal to be used by physicians, researchers, or patients, and etc.) and/or in a report for diagnosis of heart pathologies and disease. The presentation facilitates a unified and intuitive visualization that includes three-dimensional visualizations and two-dimensional visualizations that are concurrently presented within a single interactive interface and/or report.
