Patent number: 11963691Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Ryan M. Asher, Brian D. Black, John E. Brady, Joseph Dennis, Geni M. Giannotti, Bryce L. Heitman, Timothy S. Holland, Joseph E. Hollo, Andrew Kolpitcke, Amy M. Krumm, Jason R. Lesko, Matthew C.

Patent number: 11169694Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin A. Bloch, Timothy J. Snyder, Scott A. Garman, John D. Rusenko, Jr., Joseph M. Fox

Patent number: 10691331Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin A.

Patent number: 10437467Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin A.

Patent number: 9738186Abstract: 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.
