20150038909 | INTERLOCKING NEEDLE HUB AND CATHETER HUB ACTUATOR TO INCREASE RIGIDITY OF IV CATHETER ASSEMBLY - The present invention extends to a design of a needle hub and an actuator of a catheter assembly that allows the needle hub and actuator to interlock within the catheter hub. This interlocking allows the needle hub to be inserted into the catheter hub thereby increasing the rigidity of the catheter assembly. The interlocking can be accomplished by forming channels in the proximal end of the actuator and corresponding protrusions from the distal end of the needle hub. In some embodiments, the channels and protrusions can be formed at the top and bottom of the catheter hub and needle hub respectively to thereby increase the vertical rigidity of the catheter assembly. The increase in vertical rigidity can prevent flexing of the catheter hub with respect to the needle shield when a downward force is applied to the catheter assembly such as is common during insertion of the needle. | 02-05-2015 |

20150239097 | METHOD FOR LASER CUTTING POLYCRYSTALLINE DIAMOND STRUCTURES - Methods of laser cutting polycrystalline diamond tables and polycrystalline diamond compacts are disclosed. Laser cutting of the polycrystalline diamond table provides an alternative to electrical-discharge machining (“EDM”), grinding with a diamond wheel, or lapping with a diamond wheel. Grinding or lapping with a diamond wheel is relatively slow and expensive, as diamond is used to remove a diamond material. EDM cutting of the polycrystalline diamond table is sometimes impractical or even impossible, particularly when the cobalt or other infiltrant or catalyst concentration within the polycrystalline diamond table is very low (e.g., in the case of a leached polycrystalline diamond table). As such, laser cutting provides a valuable alternative machining method that may be employed in various processes such as laser scribing, laser ablation, and laser lapping. | 08-27-2015 |

20140093130 | Systems and Methods For Sensing Occupancy - A computer implemented method for sensing occupancy of a workspace includes creating a difference image that represents luminance differences of pixels in past and current images of the workspace resulting from motion in the workspace, determining motion occurring in regions of the workspace based on the difference image, and altering a workspace environment based at least in part on the determined motion. The method also includes determining which pixels in the difference image represent persistent motion that can be ignored and determining which pixels representing motion in the difference image are invalid because the pixels are isolated from other pixels representing motion. | 04-03-2014 |
