Publication number: 20230359468Abstract: User engagement is detected and used to control operation of a computing device. User engagement is detected by a sensor such as a camera that identifies if a user's face is oriented towards a display device. If the user is not facing the display device, the sensor determines that the user is unengaged. The computing device is thus able to perform a power-saving operation, such as dimming the display device, when the user is unengaged. The computing device includes an API that abstracts sensor data into a user engagement signal indicating that the user is either engaged or unengaged. The OS and applications running on the computing device act on the user engagement signal provided by the API without communicating directly with the sensor. The user engagement signal may be provided as an input to a state machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2022Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Ugan SIVAGNANENTHIRARAJAH, Sathyanarayanan KARIVARADASWAMY, Sanjeev Chandra REDDY, Sanjana Ramakrishnan SUNDER, Sayak CHATTERJEE, Sarah Anne BARNETTE, Mark LIN, Robert E.

Patent number: 11199269Abstract: The invention provides a valve having an elongated main body and a substantially flat area defined within the valve between its first and second ends; wherein a stopping screw is received in said flat area so as to prevent extraction of the valve from a casing by applying a force against a portion of the valve once the valve is moved a predetermined number of turns. The invention also provides a method for inhibiting the turning of a valve having the steps of installing a threaded portion of a valve in a first threaded aperture through a casing, where the first threaded aperture receives the threads of the threaded portion of the valve; and threading a screw through a second threaded aperture in an exterior of the casing, where the screw, is disposed in a position to come into direct contact with the valve after a predetermined number of turns.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2019Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Pull'r Holding Company, LLCInventor: Mark Lin

Patent number: 10953151Abstract: Embodiments of the invention described herein include low cost infusion devices having basal and/or bolus fluid delivery options. Embodiments of the device include a housing, a reservoir to contain the fluid, a source of pressure to exert a force to expel the fluid contained in the reservoir, a bolus port adapted to receive an optional extra dose of fluid, and a cannula in fluid communication with the reservoir and the bolus port. The cannula is adapted for insertion into the user's skin for delivery of the fluid to the user's body. The device can provide a continuous delivery of the fluid along a first fluid flow path from the reservoir to the cannula and the optional extra dose of fluid along a second fluid flow path from the bolus port to the cannula.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2017Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.Inventor: Mark Lin
