Dual towel hook with secure retention of a hanging article
Patent No. 12635833

Inventor(s): Douglas Arthur McCombie (Keller, TX)
Assignee(s): UNASSIGNED
Law Firm: No Counsel
Application No., Date, Speed: 18508420 on 11/14/2023 (924 days app to issue)

Abstract: The dual towel hook with secure retention of a hanging article is a spring activated device for securing articles such as bath and hand towels, robes, garments and the like, intended for use while traveling under jolting or vibratory conditions such as recreation vehicles, smaller nautical vessels, food trucks, semi-trucks, and airplanes. The hanging article is placed onto or removed from the hook by rotating a securing clip feature that contains a torsion spring securely encapsulated in the hook assembly, in an upward direction. The tensioned securing clip retains items placed on the hook by seeking its neutral, least untensioned position and thereby either retains the article though pressure or encloses the item placed on the hook. The towel hook device also contains a secondary, non-tensioned, position to hang articles. The dual towel hook device offers a space saving alternative to other traditional and wider bath and hand towel storage devices such as towel rings and towel bars.

Colored vitreous enamel composition for electrosurgical tool
Patent No. 12636068

Inventor(s): William X Siopes, Jr. (Tyngsborough, MA), Xiaoming Cheng (Keller, TX), Zahedul Huq (Keller, TX)
Assignee(s): Medtronic Advanced Energy LLC (Minneapolis, MN)
Law Firm: No Counsel
Application No., Date, Speed: 18658784 on 05/08/2024 (748 days app to issue)

Abstract: A colored (viz., not black) vitreous enamel coating for an electrosurgical metal cutting blade provides heat-resistant, durable blade coloration and facilitates differentiation or discrimination between, or identification of, different blades. Different colors may be employed on different blade shapes in an array of blades, on blades used for different surgical procedures, or on blades used on different tissue types. The color may be applied to a portion of a blade to denote an edge or other feature. The color may preferentially absorb the primarily blue-hued light emitted by an electrosurgery plasma and preferentially reflect light of other hues; make the blade more visible against surrounding tissues; or discourage reflection of visible or other light (e.g., infrared radiation) in colors that might interfere with markers, sensors or other instruments designed to measure light emitted by or passing through nearby tissue such as by transillumination.

Drug delivery system and method
Patent No. 12636473

Inventor(s): Ruth Sahler (Irvine, CA), Steven Edward Smathers (Dallas, TX)
Assignee(s): UNASSIGNED
Law Firm: No Counsel
Application No., Date, Speed: 18244609 on 09/11/2023 (988 days app to issue)

Abstract: A customizable drug delivery system and method utilizing a laser pattern generator (LPG) to define application of a drug delivery payload (DDP) contained within a drug delivery device (DDD) to a drug delivery target (DDT) is disclosed. A computer control device (CCD) supervises the LPG to select a drug payload pathway (DPP) from a drug pathway database (DPD) and writes the selected DPP to the DDD. This pathway patterning process (PPP) modifies the hydrophilic properties of the DDD and enables the DDD to selectively attract and absorb the DDP. The DDD is then injected with the DDP or exposed for drug exposure time (DET) by the CCD and DPD during which the DPP written to the DDD absorbs a controlled amount of DDP. The DDD when subsequently inserted into a drug delivery target (DDT) delivers the DDP to the DDT under controlled delivery rates defined by the DPP and the DET.

Application No., Date, Speed: 17587533 on 01/28/2022 (1579 days app to issue)

Abstract: A system and method for pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) tissue engineering enhances musculoskeletal tissue stimulation. A tissue engineering device may include both low and high pulse frequency signal generation components that may alternatively drive one or more coils to generate PEMFs. These PEMFs may be applied to bone tissue, tendons, ligaments, and/or cartilage. A prescribed treatment regimen using the tissue engineering device may include a first period of time where a first pulse frequency is used in treatment that supports tissue proliferation followed by a second period of time where a second pulse frequency (less than the first pulse frequency) is used in treatment that supports tissue differentiation. A treatment regimen may also include, with the frequency characteristic, applying a slew rate to the pulse characteristics that is on the order of around 30 to 100 Tesla per second to drive tissue differentiation in a targeted manner.

Application No., Date, Speed: 18383229 on 10/24/2023 (945 days app to issue)

Abstract: An arming tandem for a perforating gun is provided. The arming tandem includes an internal arming pin that is biased in a retracted position. Detonating the last perforating gun in a gun string forces the arming pin in the immediately adjacent tandem into contact with a grounding plate in the next perforating gun, thereby arming the next perforating gun. The arming pin is biased in the retracted position by a helical compression spring that is contained within a counterbored opening in the arming tandem. An adjacent bulkhead includes a grounding plate that surrounds a contact pin. The grounding plate provides a flat surface for contacting the arming pin and creating a secure connection to ground.

Abstract: A multilayer butterfly network is shown that is operable to transform and align a plurality of fields from an input to an output data stream. Many transformations are possible with such a network which may include separate control of each multiplexer. This invention supports a limited set of multiplexer control signals, which enables a similarly limited set of data transformations. This limited capability is offset by the reduced complexity of the multiplexor control circuits. This invention used precalculated inputs and simple combinatorial logic to generate control signals for the butterfly network. Controls are independent for each layer and therefore are dependent only on the input and output patterns. Controls for the layers can be calculated in parallel.

Assignee(s): International Business Machines Corporation (Armonk, NY)
Law Firm: No Counsel
Application No., Date, Speed: 16676954 on 11/07/2019 (2392 days app to issue)

Abstract: Validation of asset movement can begin with the definition of a virtual tripwire for video cameras of a video surveillance system that monitor a defined area of interest through which RFID-identified assets are conveyed. The virtual tripwire can visually define a boundary within the view field of the video camera. The video camera can detect the movement of an asset through a virtual tripwire and an asset management system can be notified of the potential misdirection of the asset. The asset management system can obtain the asset’s RFID data from a RFID handling system that monitors the area of interest. The validity of the detected movement can be determined using RFID data and an asset movement specification that defines pathing rules for assets and virtual tripwires. When the movement of the asset is determined to be invalid, a record of suspect movement data can be generated for the asset.
