Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090144156METHOD OF ADVERTISING - A retail establishment advertising system and method are disclosed. They allow a display of special content to interrupt a display of ongoing content on one or more display units. Ongoing content, such as advertisements, news, entertainment, or other relevant information, is provided on the display units until an urgent or security-related alert is required, and display of override content becomes necessary. Special content can include information relevant to specially discounted items or to security alert messages pertaining to, for example, security threats such as accidents, major delays, fire, missing children, terrorist activity, or other content deemed adequately pertinent to warrant interrupting the display of ongoing content.06-04-2009
20100199302DIGITAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH SECURITY FEATURES - A digital communication system is disclosed, that allows a display of override content to interrupt a display of ongoing content on one or more display units. Ongoing content, such as advertisements, news, entertainment, or other relevant information, is provided on the display units until an urgent or security-related alert is required, and display of override content becomes necessary. Override content can include information relevant to the security of a passenger or passer-by viewing the display. Override content can relate to security threats such as accidents, major delays, fire, missing children, terrorist activity, or other content deemed adequately pertinent to warrant interrupting the display of ongoing content.08-05-2010

20080249520System and method for providing even heat distribution and cooling return pads - A return pad for use with an electrosurgical system is disclosed. The return pad includes a conductive layer, a contact layer configured to engage a patient's skin and an intermediate layer disposed between the conductive layer and the contact layer. The intermediate layer is adapted to distribute energy.10-09-2008
20080249521System and method for providing even heat distribution and cooling return pads - A return pad for use with an electrosurgical system is disclosed. The return pad includes a conductive layer, a contact layer configured to engage a patient's skin and an intermediate layer disposed between the conductive layer and the contact layer. The intermediate layer is adapted to distribute energy.10-09-2008
20080275438Accordion style cable stand-off - A cable stand-off for use with an electrosurgical system includes an accordion body portion having a plurality of panels, and a plurality of hinges. Each panel has at least one hole formed therethrough. The holes of the plurality of panels are axially aligned with one another. The plurality of hinges couples adjacent panels to one another. In one embodiment, the hinges couple adjacent panels in a tip-to-tail fashion. The accordion body portion may be made of a flexible material. Each panels may further include at least one slot extending from a hole to an edge of the panel.11-06-2008
20080281310Temperature monitoring return electrode - An electrosurgical return electrode is disclosed. The return electrode includes a first and second flexible conductive material layers and a material layer disposed between the first and second conductive material layers. The material layer is transitionable between a solid state and a non-solid state, the material layer is also configured to melt upon an increase in temperature beyond a predetermined threshold, thereby increasing conductivity between the first and second conductive material layer.11-13-2008
20080281311Temperature monitoring return electrode - An electrosurgical return electrode includes a conductive pad including a patient-contacting surface configured to conduct electrosurgical energy, and a temperature sensing circuit coupled to the conductive pad. The temperature sensing circuit includes a plurality of switching elements connected in series, wherein each of the plurality of switching elements is configured to vary in impedance in response to temperature changes, such that an interrogation signal transmitted therethrough is indicative of the temperature change.11-13-2008
20110112525System and Method for Providing Even Heat Distribution and Cooling Return Pads - A return pad for use with an electrosurgical system is disclosed. The return pad includes a conductive layer, a contact layer configured to engage a patient's skin and an intermediate layer disposed between the conductive layer and the contact layer. The intermediate layer is adapted to distribute energy.05-12-2011

20100286691Apparatus, System, and Method for Performing an Electrosurgical Procedure - The present disclosure provides a bipolar forceps. The bipolar forceps includes a housing having a handle assembly including a movable handle and one or more shafts. An end effector assembly operatively connects to a distal end of the shaft and includes a pair of first and second jaw members. A solenoid is in operative communication with the movable handle and operatively couples to a drive rod operatively coupled to at least one of the first and second jaw members for causing movement thereof. One or both of the first and second jaw members includes one or more teeth configured to engage one or more teeth located on the drive rod such that rotation of the solenoid imparts one of longitudinal and rotational movement of the drive rod such that at least one of the first and second jaw members moves between the open and closed positions.11-11-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110069608System for providing backup programming at radio or television transmitter - A system transmits backup programming media in a transmitter station being connected to a remote media station. The media station includes a media programming input to receive a source media signal, which includes media programming. The media station further includes an Ethernet programming input that receives an Ethernet media signal including backup media programming being different the media programming. A transmitter station receives the source media signal via a transmission medium and transmits the media programming. The transmitter station further receives the Ethernet media signal and stores the backup media programming in a storage device. A controller detects a fault on a transmission medium connecting the media station and the transmitting station. The controller retrieves the stored backup media programming and generates a backup media signal. A transmitter transmits the backup media programming based on the backup media signal until it is controlled to re-transmit the source media signal.03-24-2011
