Publication number: 20240190015Abstract: A robotic system includes a multi-sectional show robot. The multi-sectional show robot includes a primary robot with a controller and one or more sensors. The one or more sensors are configured to acquire feedback indicative of an environment surrounding the primary robot. The multi-sectional show robot also includes a secondary robot configured to removably couple to the primary robot to transition the multi-sectional show robot between a disengaged configuration, in which the primary robot is decoupled from the secondary robot, and an engaged configuration, in which the primary robot is coupled to the secondary robot. The controller is configured to operate the primary robot based on the feedback and a first control scheme with the multi-sectional show robot in the disengaged configuration and to operate the primary robot based on a second control scheme with the multi-sectional show robot in the engaged configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: June 13, 2024Inventors: Aaron Chandler Jeromin, Akiva Meir Krauthamer, Timothy Fitzgerald Garnier, Elam Kevin Hertzler, Matthew Sean Pearse, Samuel James Knox, Lee Marvin Wilson, Kimberly Anne Humphreys, Cody Daniel Nichoson, Trace Andrew Dressen

Publication number: 20220270173Abstract: There is provided a computing device, systems and methods for automatic generation of a portfolio. The computing device receives an index comprising index holdings and characteristics. The device then automatically projects the index to a target index providing a proforma benchmark characterizing a future state of the index holdings. The target index is based on expected future events impacting the index and includes a list of projected constituents, characteristics defining each of the constituents. The computing device predicts, using a machine learning model, a liquidity score associated with each of the constituents, the liquidity score for a particular constituent based on prior liquidity scores for other constituents in a past time period with one or more similar characteristics to the characteristics of the particular constituent. In response, an optimized portfolio is generated providing an optimized set of constituents with associated weighting tracking the target index.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2021Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: MATTHEW JAMES KNOX, ANTON BRJOZOVSKI, BO YAN, SUJAY KATHROTIA

Patent number: 11273314Abstract: A defibrillator and method for using a defibrillator which adopts an ECG analysis algorithm that can detect a cardiac arrhythmia in the presence of noise artifact induced by cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compressions. The apparatus and method offers guidance throughout a cardiac rescue protocol involving both defibrillation shocks and CPR that improves the effectiveness of the rescue, resulting in more CPR “hands-on” time, better treatment of refibrillation, and reduced transition times between CPR and electrotherapy.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Stacy Earl Gehman, James Knox Russell, Christopher William Fleming, Dawn Blilie Jorgenson, David Roy Axness

Patent number: 11197631Abstract: A defibrillator (AED) and method for using a defibrillator using two different ECG analysis algorithms which work sequentially to improve the accuracy of AED shock decisions. A first algorithm, such as (ART), is particularly suited for analysis in the presence of CPR periods. A second algorithm, such as (PAS), is particularly suited for analysis during hands-off periods. The AED switches algorithms depending on the period and on the current analysis of the cardiac rhythm. The inventions thus provide an optimized ECG analysis scheme in a manner that improves the effectiveness of the rescue, resulting in more CPR “hands-on” time, better treatment of refibrillation, and reduced transition times between CPR and electrotherapy.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2020Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Chenguang Liu, Stacy Earl Gehman, James Knox Russell, Christopher William Fleming, Dawn Blilie Jorgenson, David Roy Axness, Jeffrey Martin Boschee

Publication number: 20200407212Abstract: A saddle bag cooling system is provided. The saddle bag cooling system is for keeping contents retained therein cool, wherein the system embodies a center pad dimensioned and adapted so that when lain on a horseback a middle portion of the center pad is adjacent to and upward of a spine of the horseback, and the end portions are generally parallel to each other yet transverse relative to the middle portion. The center pad removably connects to a center bag and two coolers, each cooler adapted to retain a temperature less than the ambient air and removably connectable to one of two opposing end portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2019Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventors: Albert E.

Patent number: 10772516Abstract: A heart rate monitor (40) for detecting a pulse of a person (10) employs a platform (43), a plurality of multi-axis accelerometers (41R, 41L) and a pulse detector (44). The multi-axis accelerometers (41R, 41L) are adjoined to the platform (43) to generate differential mode signals (AZR, AZL) indicative of a sensing by the accelerometers (41) of physiological motion (12) of the person (10) relative to acceleration sensing axes (42R, 42L) and to generate common mode signals (AXR, AXL, AYR, AYL) indicative of a sensing by the accelerometers (41R, 41L) of extraneous motion by the person (10) relative to the acceleration sensing axes (42R, 42L). The pulse detector (44) is operably connected to the multi-axis accelerometers (41R, 41L) to generate a pulse signal (PS)as a function of a vertical alignment of the acceleration sensing axes (42R, 42L) combining the differential mode signals (AZR, AZL) and cancelling the common mode signals (AXR, AXL, AYR, AYL).Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2014Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: James Knox Russell, Haris Duric, Chenguang Liu

Patent number: 10583305Abstract: A method and associated apparatus (12) detects the presence and quality of chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by analyzing existing signals in automated external defibrillator (AED) devices without using a stand-alone CPR meter. The method includes analyzing both a thoracic impedance signal and a common-mode current signal, each of which can be measured with standard AED pads (18). The method applies criteria to the measured signals, the criteria being used to select which of the measured signals to use for providing CPR chest compression detections.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Chenguang Liu, James Knox Russell, Dawn Blilie Jorgenson, Haris Duric, Stacy Earl Gehman, Christopher William Fleming
