  • Patent number: 11963691
    Abstract: A surgical instrument, has an end effector that includes an ultrasonic blade, and a clamp arm that moves relative to the ultrasonic blade from an opened position toward an intermediate position and a closed position. The clamp arm is offset from the ultrasonic blade to define a predetermined gap in the intermediate position between the opened position and the closed position. A clamp arm actuator connects to the clamp arm and moves from an opened configuration to a closed configuration to direct the clamp arm from the opened position toward the intermediate position and the closed position. A spacer connects with the clamp arm to inhibit movement of the clamp arm from the intermediate position toward the closed position for maintaining the predetermined gap between the clamp arm and the ultrasonic blade.

    Abstract: Cooling systems and methods of operation are provided. The cooling system may include a two-phase pumped loop (TPPL). The two-phase pumped loop may include, a receiver, a pump downstream from the receiver, a heat load downstream from the pump, a TPPL tee downstream from the heat load, a TPPL check valve downstream from the TPPL tee, and a heat exchanger downstream from the TPPL check valve and upstream from the receiver. The cooling system may further include a vapor cycle system (VCS) loop. The vapor cycle system loop may include the receiver, a compressor downstream from a vapor outlet of the receiver, a compressor check valve downstream from the compressor and upstream of the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger, and the heat load downstream from a liquid outlet of the receiver.

  • Patent number: 11169694
    Abstract: A user interface can display a rendering associated with an interactive layer corresponding to one or more rendered elements of the rendering. Based at least partly on receiving an indication of an interaction with the user interface, a new rendered element can be displayed on the user interface. Based at least in part on information associated with the one or more rendered elements, a position in the interactive layer closest to a position of the new rendered element on the user interface can be determined and a rendered marking can be displayed at or near the position in the interactive layer that is closest to the position of the new rendered element. Based at least in part on a determination that the new rendered element is to be positioned at or near the position in the interactive layer, the rendering can be updated.

  • Patent number: 10691331
    Abstract: A web rendering module in the operating system is used to render and display a web page. The web rendering module also generates layout data that describes the position and size of each visual element on the rendered web page. A web editing application uses the layout data to generate a native overlay. The native overlay is an arrangement of cells, and each cell has the same position and size as a respective visual element. The application displays the native overlay on top of the rendered web page so that each visual element on the web page is aligned with a cell in the native overlay. The cells in the native overlay are transparent so that the rendered web page remains visible to the user, but the native overlay captures any interactions that the user performs. The interactions are then processed to make a corresponding change to the web page.

  • Patent number: 10437467
    Abstract: A native overlay for enabling rapid editing of web content is described. In an example, a web page comprising a plurality of visual elements can be rendered as a rendered web page which can be displayed on a user interface. In an example, responsive to an interaction via the user interface, a representation of a portion of the rendered web page can be generated, wherein the representation is positioned within an overlay displayed above the rendered web page. The rendered web page can be displayed with the representation positioned within the overlay on the user interface.

  • Patent number: 9738186
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis and a seating system. The seating system includes a frame coupled to the chassis, a seat cushion supported by at least one of the frame and a floor of the vehicle, a first recoverable insert configured to provide a first energy attenuation response, and a second recoverable insert configured to provide a second energy attenuation response different than the first energy attenuation response. The seat cushion defines a cavity shaped to interchangeably receive either the first recoverable insert or the second recoverable insert to thereby selectively vary an energy attenuation provided by the seating system.

  • Publication number: 20150056583
    Abstract: Training an operator of an underground mining machine. The training includes generating a simulated training environment that includes a simulated underground mining machine and generating an interface related to a training lesson for the simulated underground mining machine. The training lesson is related to performing a simulated cutting operation with the underground mining machine. The training also includes receiving an operator input from an operator input device related to the simulated cutting operation with the underground mining machine, executing the simulated cutting operation within the simulated working environment based on the operator input, determining an amount of simulated mining material removed from a cutting face of the simulated working environment during the simulated cutting operation, and generating an indication of the amount of simulated mining material removed from the cutting face of the simulated working environment during the simulated cutting operation.

  • Patent number: 7044892
    Abstract: A child activity device for entertaining and promoting activity in a child is disclosed. The child activity device is configurable between a use and storage position and may also include a frame providing bouncing motion for a child. The activity device includes a support frame extending vertically upwards from a lower end proximate to a support surface and terminating at an upper end, a supporting portion, and may further include a seat, coupled to the supporting portion, that is rotatable about a first axis relative to the support frame to allow a child placed in the seat to rotate about the first axis. A coupling assembly is also disclosed. The coupling assembly secures the supporting portion to the support frame upper end and permits rotation of the supporting portion about a second axis for configuring the seat and supporting portion in a storage position. An activity device with foldable support legs is also disclosed.
