20090040063 | Power conservation in an intrusion detection system - In a tamper detection system, a control system controls power consumption by sensors and power consumption of a state machine that controls operations of the sensors. A first state machine controls which sensor is activated. A second state machine controls the operations performed by the activated sensor and the operations are timed according to a clock signal. Prior to activating a sensor, the second state machine is in a wait state. The clock signal is gated so that the logic state of the clock signal does not change when the second state machine is in a wait state. Power consumption by the state machine is reduced by gating the clock signal so that the clock signal is held to a fixed value. Immediately after the activated sensor performs all operations, the second state machine samples the pass or fail result from the sensor. Power consumption by the activated sensor is reduced by sampling the pass or fail result of the sensor immediately after the sensor performs the last operation and immediately turning off the sensor after sampling the pass or fail result. The second state machine enters another wait state after sampling of the pass or fail result. | 02-12-2009 |
20140223146 | Blank Bit and Processor Instructions Employing the Blank Bit - Reading a value into a register, checking to see if the value is a NULL, and then jumping out of a loop if the value is a NULL is a common task that processors perform. To speed performance of such a task, a novel “blank bit” is added to the flag register of a processor. When a first instruction (arithmetic, logic or load) is executed, the instruction operands are checked to see if any is a NULL character value. Information on the result of the check is stored in the blank bit. Execution of a second instruction uses the information stored in the blank bit to determine whether or not a second operation (for example, a jump) will be performed. By using the first and second instructions in a loop, the number of instructions executed to check for NULLs at the end of strings and arrays is reduced. | 08-07-2014 |

20130180832 | ARTICULATED DISCHARGE END FOR CONVEYOR - An articulated discharge end for a conveyor that is positionable adjacent to a moveable receiver includes a frame, having a distal end, configured to bear a discharge end of a conveyor belt at the distal end. The frame has two axes of rotation, whereby the distal end is vertically translatable and laterally rotatable. A guide is disposed near the distal end, and is configured to contact the moveable receiver, whereby motion of the moveable receiver can substantially govern vertical translation and lateral rotation of the distal end. | 07-18-2013 |

20120305731 | FIXTURE HOIST AND RETRACTABLE CEILING FIXTURE INCORPORATING THE SAME - A fixture hoist comprising a base assembly and a shuttle assembly. The base assembly is attachable to an overhead structure and includes a base with a motor disposed thereon. The motor includes a shaft rotatable in first and second directions and at least one drum coupled to the shaft. A cable is disposed about the drum, whereby the cable is selectively extended or retracted by rotating the shaft in one of the first and second directions. The base assembly includes at least one first datum fitting disposed on the base. The shuttle assembly is capable of supporting a fixture and is movable between a docked state and a deployed state. The shuttle assembly includes at least one second datum fitting configured to mate with the first datum fitting when the shuttle assembly is in the docked state. | 12-06-2012 |

20110015674 | Suture anchor implantation instrumentation system - An apparatus for inserting a suture anchor into an internal anatomical site through a cannula, or percutaneously, has a curved hollow guide for insertion into the cannula and/or tissue. The guide has a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end has a “parabolic ” shape for engaging the intended anatomical site such as a glenoid. A flexible obturator is insertable through the curved guide from the proximal end to the distal end to facilitate insertion of the guide through the cannula. A flexible drill is insertable through the curved guide from the proximal to the distal end once the guide is in place. A flexible inserter is provided for inserting a suture anchor into a bore at the anatomical site formed by the flexible drill. | 01-20-2011 |
20110015675 | SUTURE ANCHOR IMPLANTATION INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM - A system for implanting an anchor into bone, the system comprising a curved cannulated guide for percautaneous insertion, having a proximal end and a distal end; a flexible drill insertable through the curved guide from the proximal end to the distal end, the flexible drill having a shaft having a flexible portion; and a flexible inserter for inserting a suture anchor into a bore at the anatomical site formed by the flexible drill, the flexible inserter having a shaft having a flexible portion, wherein the flexible portions of both the flexible drill and flexible inserter include a series of discrete, interlocking segments. | 01-20-2011 |
20110251626 | SUTURE PASSER ASSEMBLY - A surgical instrument and method of using same are provided. The instrument includes a jaw portion extending along an axis and a handle portion rotatably connected with the jaw portion and configured to at least partially rotate about the axis with respect to the jaw portion. A needle assembly can be configured to pass through the jaw portion and along the axis by cooperation with the handle portion. The jaw portion, or a shaft portion connecting the jaw portion and the handle portion, can include at least one spring-assisted bearing and the handle portion can include at least one depression configured to engage the at least one spring-assisted bearing in an orientation that temporarily locks the shaft portion with respect to handle portion. A method includes rotating the handle portion with respect to the jaw portion and actuating the instrument to pass a portion of a suture through tissue. | 10-13-2011 |
20130131722 | FILAMENTARY SUTURE ANCHOR - In one embodiment of the present invention, a fixation device including a sleeve member including an interior and an exterior surface along a length defined between a first end and a second end, and at least two openings positioned along the length and extending from the interior and through the exterior surface; and a filament including a first free end and a second free end and a length therebetween, the filament positioned relative to the sleeve member such that the free ends extend from the sleeve member at the first and second ends of the sleeve member, the filament being disposed inside the interior from the first end to a first opening, outside the sleeve member from the first opening to a second opening, and inside the interior from the second opening to the second end of the sleeve member. | 05-23-2013 |
