  • Patent number: 11869659
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating self-administered medical diagnostic tests and receiving treatment based on the results of such tests. In some examples, a user may take a medical diagnostic test under the supervision of a proctor over a video conference connection. The proctor or the system can verify the results of the test. The system can enable treatment based on the results of the test by, for example, facilitating the generation, fulfillment, and delivery of medication.

  • Patent number: 11858346
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods, implementable in a vehicle equipped with adaptive cruise control, for maintaining in a subject vehicle substantially constant following distance relative to a preceding target vehicle where there has been a change in slope of a surface on which the subject vehicle is travelling and/or where pitch of the subject vehicle has changed. Systems and methods disclosed herein may maintain such substantially constant following distance by managing engine torque. Such engine torque management effective for maintaining substantially constant following distance relative to a preceding target vehicle, notwithstanding change in driving surface slope and/or change in pitch of the subject vehicle, may be realized, according to the subject vehicle's torque map, based on data received into the subject vehicle's electronic control unit through sensors for detecting surface slope and sensors for detecting vehicle pitch, which may be located on the subject vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11850756
    Abstract: A method of operating a robot includes detecting the occurrence of an abnormal operating condition of the robot during operation from hardware state data relating to the operation of the robot system. In response, current hardware state data of the robot at the time of the detection is captured, including robot positional information. A counter corresponding to the abnormal operating condition may then be incremented and, if the counter exceeds a threshold value or exceeds a threshold value in a certain time, a report may be generated including the captured hardware state data. The abnormal condition may for example be a fluctuation in vacuum level or a data transmission error.

  • Publication number: 20230397537
    Abstract: A draper header for harvesting crops includes a header frame with a middle frame section pivotally coupled between a pair of side wing sections. A cutter bar assembly extends across a front portion of the header frame and is flexible with the side wing sections for cutting the crops to be harvested. A pair of crop pick-up reels are rotatably supported by center and outer reel support arms for engaging the crops to be harvested. A sensing system is operatively coupled to the header frame for detecting when at least one of the side wing sections pivots downwardly relative to the middle frame section. When the sensing system detects that at least one of the side wing sections pivots downwardly past a predetermined pivot angle, a down-stop cylinder is actuated to raise the crop pick-up reels, thereby preventing contact of the crop pick-up reels with the cutter bar assembly.

  • Publication number: 20230344822
    Abstract: A system is provided for secured electronic data access through machine-learning based analysis of combined access authorizations. In particular, the system may maintain an access provisioning database which stores data regarding the data access authorizations that have been granted to one or more third party computing systems or entities. The system may further continuously monitor and aggregate electronic data from one or more electronic data streams and analyze the electronic data to intelligently generate probabilities for future events that create certain combinations of access authorizations that affect the security of the electronic data to which the third party computing systems have authorized access. In this way, the system may provide an effective way to manage access authorizations.
