Patent number: 10952612Abstract: A biomedical implant includes a wall enclosing at least a portion of the implant. The wall includes a first stratum and a second stratum conformal with the first stratum. An interlayer is provided between the first and the second strata, and includes a structure that produces capillary pressure in an infiltrating fluid in response to rupture of the first stratum or the second stratum resulting in entry of the infiltrating fluid into the interlayer. A detector is exposed to the interlayer and configured to detect a presence, if any, of the infiltrating fluid and output a detection state indicator. A communication circuit is communicatively coupled to the detector and configured to communicate the detection state indicator to a reader external to the patient.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2017Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Geissler Companies, LLCInventor: Yuri Smirnov

Patent number: 8219053Abstract: A system and method of automatically tuning a reading device that remotely monitors RFID tags or transponders. The reading device utilizes the phase signal of an antenna signal wherein the harmonic of the antenna signal is filtered through a signal coupling transformer and utilizes the antenna current reading to determine the optimal capacitance setting for the reader by adjusting capacitors and storing the relative phase signal and level of current in a processor. In one embodiment, the method comprises supplying power to the reading device, monitoring the power supply, storing data related to the monitored power supply, emitting a signal from an antenna, filtering the harmonic of such signal, outputting the phase signal to a processor and adjusting capacitors based on the phase signal and monitored current.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2008Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Destron Fearing CorporationInventors: Ezequiel Mejia, Yuri Smirnov

Patent number: 8195524Abstract: In a combinatorial exchange, rules can be input for processing bids and a desired exchange objective can be defined. A subset of the rules can be used to determine if an allocation of the bids exists that is optimal for the type of exchange being conducted. If the desired exchange objective is not satisfied, new allocations can be determined using different subsets of rules each time until the desired exchange objective is satisfied. At least one of the bids can include a reference ratio; a discount; a price associated with a quantity Q1 of a first item; a price associated with a quantity Q2 of a second item; and a rule that causes said discount to be applied to an average price of Q1 and an average price of Q2 for each instance of the allocated quantity Q1 over the allocated quantity Q2 that equals the reference ratio.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2009Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: CombineNet, Inc.Inventors: Tuomas Sandholm, David L. Levine, David C. Parkes, Subhash Suri, Vincent Conitzer, Robert L. Shields, Yuri Smirnov

Patent number: 8190489Abstract: In a combinatorial exchange, rules can be input for processing bids and a desired exchange objective can be defined. A subset of the rules can be used to determine if an allocation of the bids exists that is optimal for the type of exchange being conducted. If the desired exchange objective is not satisfied, new allocations can be determined using different subsets of rules each time until the desired exchange objective is satisfied. Trigger bid groups and/or rules associated with trigger values can be used to determine whether to apply modification or discounts to bids. Item and bid groups can be partitioned into groups for the purpose of smoothing requirements. Trigger bid groups, rules associated with trigger values, item groups, and bid groups can be used for adjusting or constraining bids based on triggers, logical connectives, and adjustments.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2009Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: CombineNet, Inc.Inventors: Tuomas Sandholm, David L.

Patent number: 8190490Abstract: In a combinatorial exchange, a set of rules can be input for processing of bids received in connection with the exchange. At least one bid can be received from each of a plurality of exchange participants and a desired exchange objective can be defined. A determination can be made as a function of a subset of the rules if an allocation of the bids exists that is optimal for the type of exchange being conducted. If the desired exchange objective is not satisfied, the step of determining an allocation is repeated utilizing a different subset of rules each time until the desired exchange objective is satisfied. It can be determined if the exchange is overconstrained and, if so, rules can be relaxed. Also or alternatively, the demand for a quantity of an item can be increased or decreased based on the average cost of the item.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2009Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: CombineNet, Inc.Inventors: Tuomas Sandholm, David L.

Publication number: 20110307327Abstract: Data characterizing a population of consumers that is derived from history-based predictive analytics that describe expected outcomes for each of a plurality of offerings is used by a solver to solve an optimization problem. The solver identifies a subset of the population and assigns one or more of the plurality of offerings to be presented to consumers within the subset of the population while taking into account at least one constraint. Actions to be taken with the identified subset of the population in connection with the assigned one or more offering are then assigned so that at least a portion of the assigned actions can be initiated. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2010Publication date: December 15, 2011Inventors: Todd Bixby, Yuri Smirnov, Gabriel J. Tavares

Patent number: 7188075Abstract: Parameters of a re-configurable product include price and date when product will be available to a requesting party. Availability and or price parameters are integrated or extended into the configuration process of selecting product features to gain a higher level of customer service and satisfaction. The availability and or price parameters can be constrained, and can also be optimized with respect to other constraints. By defining a range of satisfaction that various parameters and product features can operate in, a customer can focus the configuration process on other parameters that are deemed critical. Optimizing focus parameters such as availability and or price with respect to all other parameters constitutes an extended product configuration technique. A dynamic BOM generated by this technique reflects all consumer dictated constraints, including any constraints on price and or availability.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2000Date of Patent: March 6, 2007Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventor: Yuri Smirnov
