Centurion+ Patent Holders as of October 1, 2024

David C Newkirk

Industrial Design Principle at Baxter International Inc.

Patent №: 12102579 (October 1, 2024) – Patient support apparatus having patient lift.

A patient bed features a siderail that can be raised above the mattress for use with a patient lift. When lowered, the siderail prevents patient egress. In the raised position, a sling arm can be attached to the siderail, with a sling connectable to hooks on the sling arm.

Moses Mekala David

Staff Scientist at 3M Corporate Research Laboratories.

Patent №: 12103846 (October 1, 2024) – Nanostructured article.

A nanostructured article consists of a substrate with polyurethane nanostructures, topped by a covalently crosslinked fluorinated polymeric layer. This layer partially fills the spaces between the nanostructures, extending at least 30 nm above the substrate and creating a nanostructured surface.

Kathiravetpillai Sivanesan

Principal Engineer | Senior Standardization Specialist at Nokia.

Patent №: 12108483 (October 1, 2024) – Discontinuous reception alignment in dual connectivity networks.

A 3GPP LTE enhancement improves DRX power-saving by aligning DRX operations between a Master eNB (MeNB) and Secondary eNB (SeNB) for dual-connectivity User Equipment (UE). The UE synchronizes frame timing and DRX start offsets, enabling DRX ON durations at specific frame times after the DRX inactivity timer expires.

Yong Yang
