Patent number: 11931483Abstract: Inserts can be formed with elution characteristics to cause the inserts to elute an antimicrobial agent when subject to a fluid within a medical device. An insert can be formed with a desired geometry to allow the insert to be compression fit within a medical device to prevent the insert from moving or becoming dislodged once inserted into the medical device. The material may also be hygroscopic so that the insert swells when subject to a fluid thereby enhancing the compression fit of the device within the medical device. In some cases, the material can be reinforced using an internal structure. Inserts can be formed in many ways including by casting, thermoforming, or extrusion. In some cases, the inserts can be formed using a peel-away sleeve or material. The peel-away sleeves can be formed of a non-sticky material which facilitates removal of the inserts once the inserts have cured.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Siddarth K. Shevgoor, Jonathan Karl Burkholz, Huibin Liu, Yiping Ma, Ming Zhou

Publication number: 20240028433Abstract: An information handling system includes multiple PCIe devices and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The BIOS receive a system management interrupt (SMI). The SMI is in response to a detection of an error on a first PCIe device of the PCIe devices. The BIOS collect data associated with the first PCIe device. The data includes a friendly full device description for the first PCIe device. Based on the friendly full device description, the BIOS determine a friendly name for the PCIe device. The BIOS provide an error message on a display device of the information handling system. The error message includes a type of the error detected and the friendly name for the PCIe device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Tzu-Hsiu Tsai, David K. Chalfant, Yiping Zhou

Patent number: 10296644Abstract: Architecture that enables the extraction of document-specific salient terms from documents for use improving the result summaries on a search engine result page (SERP), and methods to extract the salient terms from the documents using search engine logs, document metadata, and other algorithms. Document-specific salient terms can provide additional information and significantly improve user success in finding relevant documents while disregarding non-relevant documents. The architecture also enables the extraction of entity information from a variety of sources, some of which are at a query level, and other sources that are specific to a single document. All the entities available are aggregated for a set of results and the most relevant results are identified. The final set of results is then used to determine where in the document summary to apply visual emphasis or cues (e.g., bolding).Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yiping Zhou, Gianluca Donato, Aparna Rajaraman, Oana Nicolov

Patent number: 9880210Abstract: A scanner system and method operable for high-resolution spatial scanning of an electromagnetic field radiated by an electronic device under test (DUT) are provided. The electromagnetic field level radiated by the DUT is measured with a probe array comprising a plurality of spatially separated switched probes, an analyzer, and a computer. An actuator changes the relative position of the probe array to the DUT by a distance less than or equal to the separation distance between the probes, and the electromagnetic field level is measured and stored again.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2015Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: EMSCAN CORPORATIONInventors: Ruska Patton, Yiping Zhou, Gil Montag, Robert Xue

Patent number: 9864808Abstract: An entity-based search system is described herein that detects and recognizes entities in Internet-based content and uses this recognition to organize search results. The system associates one or more entity identifiers with a web page and stores this information as metadata of the page in a search engine index. This metadata will enable entity-based queries as well as rich data presentations in a search engine result page (SERP), including grouping results by entities, filtering results by one or more particular entities, or re-ranking search results based on user preference of entities. Thus, the entity-based search system allows users to identify a particular entity the user is interested in finding, and to receive search results directly related to that entity.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2017Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kang Li, Yi Li, Yiping Zhou, Zhengdong Lv, Yohn Cao
