  • Publication number: 20230340823
    Abstract: A method for execution by a computing entity includes interpreting a fluid flow response from fluid flow sensors to produce a piston position of a piston associated with a head unit device. The head unit device includes a chamber filled with a shear thickening fluid (STF). The method further includes determining a door position based on the piston position. The method further includes determining parameters for wireless signals based on the door position. The method further includes facilitating utilization of the parameters for the wireless signals to promote successful communication of status and/or control of the door via the wireless signals.

  • Patent number: 8069151
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a system and method for detecting wrong storage media in data recovery processes. One embodiment can detect incorrect media via environmental factors such as source data type and format. One embodiment can detect incongruous media by pool membership. One embodiment can detect inappropriate media by comparing fingerprints. As each item is read, its fingerprint is calculated and compared to the overall fingerprint of a job. If the new fingerprint is different by some preset margin, a human inspector may be asked to validate the newly inserted storage medium. If valid, the overall signature for the job is revised to integrate the new signature. If not, the wrong medium is ejected and incorrectly loaded data is removed. Embodiments disclosed herein can detect the presence of a wrong medium quickly and early in a data recovery process, avoiding mistakes and saving time and costs.

  • Publication number: 20020046060
    Abstract: A multi-user meal planner for providing users with an individually customized, daily meal plan is disclosed. The multi-user meal planner includes a user interface and a relational database management system. The database management system includes nutritional information and an algorithm operationally connected to the nutritional information. The database management system further includes user information that is inputted through the user interface. After being inputted through the user interface, the user information is processed by the algorithm. The algorithm generates a meal plan for the user and the database management system transmits the meal plan to the user interface. A method of providing the individualized meal plan is also provided.
