Abstract: A material handler comprises a motor, an interface device, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive an input from the interface device and can include a variable frequency drive (VFD). The controller provides a variable frequency drive (VFD) signal to the motor to control movement of one or more components of the material handler. If the interface device is inactive for a predetermined amount of time, the controller adjusts a frequency of the VFD signal from an operating frequency to a standby frequency with the standby frequency being lower than the operating frequency. Adjusting the frequency from the operating frequency to the standby frequency can include adjusting the frequency of the VFD signal to one or more intermediate frequencies. When adjusting the frequency of the VFD signal, the controller can skip at least one frequency or range of frequencies, for example, to avoid undesirable operating characteristics.

One feature includes a low power measurement circuit that can be switched between a measurement mode and a low power mode, in which charging circuitry continues to apply power to electrodes of a sensor during the low power mode. In addition, the sensor electronics module can be switched between in a low power storage mode higher power operational mode via a switch. The switch can include a reed switch or optical switch, for example. A validation routine can also be implemented to ensure an interrupt signal sent from the switch is valid.

Abstract: A sound system includes a sound source having an analogue audio signal output and a sound volume control; signal amplifier apparatus (10) comprising an analogue signal input (12) configured to be coupled to the analogue audio signal output of the sound source, an analogue signal output (18) and an amplifier module (62) coupled between the signal input and the signal output. The amplifier module (62) has a fixed amplification gain within a range of 10 to 12 decibels. Control of the audio signal is effected solely by the sound volume control of the sound source. The amplifier module (64) also provides a fixed gain bass boost of 6 decibels. The system provides linear amplification and allows a user to reduce the volume of the sound source, which significantly reduces signal distortion. Volume control is at the sound source and not at the amplifier module, which optimises amplification quality and reduces the power requirement of the amplifier apparatus (10).

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide various examples of monitoring adverse events in the background while displaying a higher-resolution surgical video on a lower-resolution display device. In one aspect, a process for detecting adverse events during a surgical procedure can begin by receiving a surgical video. The process then displays a first portion of the video images of the surgical video on a screen to assist a surgeon performing the surgical procedure. While displaying the first portion of the video images, the process uses a set of deep-learning models to monitor a second portion of the video images not being displayed on the screen, wherein each deep-learning model is constructed to detect a given adverse event among a set of adverse events. In response to detecting an adverse event in the second portion of the video images, the process notifies the surgeon of the detected adverse event to prompt an appropriate action.

The electronic report is provided to a computing device operated by the user. The electronic report includes one or more entries that each corresponds to an asset for sale. Each entry can include a link for the corresponding asset. In response to receiving user selection of a link on the report, one or more characteristics of the asset corresponding to the selected link are determined. One or more additional assets are determined based on the one or more characteristics. The electronic report is dynamically updated to include one or more entries corresponding to the one or more additional assets. A user profile of the user can also be updated in response to the user's selection.

Abstract: A secure element of a mobile device receives a first authentication token, which may have an encrypted portion and a non-encrypted portion, from a network gateway device to which the mobile device is connected. The secure element determines whether the first authentication token is valid based on a sequence number included in the first authentication token. If the secure element determines that the first authentication token is valid, the secure element generates a second authentication token that indicates a result of an authentication operation performed by the secure element. The second authentication token is sent to the network gateway device. The secure element derives a pre-shared key using a key derivation function, where the pre-shared key is usable to establish a secure communication channel with the network gateway device.

Abstract: This is directed to controlling the output of audio based on the mode of an electronic device. In particular, this is directed to an electronic device having a sound mode, silent mode, and mute mode controlling the output of audio along different audio output routes. In the sound mode, all audio can be output, while only registered or authorized audio can be output in the silent mode. In the mute mode, no audio can be output. The sound and silent modes can be enabled using an interface of the device (e.g., a switch having two possible states), while the mute mode can be enabled using an accessory coupled to the device. To disengage the mute mode, a user can provide a corresponding instruction using the accessory, or providing an instruction on the device related to volume control. For example, a user can change the device volume using an on-device interface, or toggle a sound/silent switch to a sound mode.
