  • Publication number: 20230334926
    Abstract: A wireless lockout-tagout state machine-based access control system and method. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an electronic access control system that utilizes state machine-based single or multiple access codes to enable context-dependent or context-specific user-access permissions for different access points within an access-controlled area. Each state in the state machine may comprise an access event and a first state can lead to one or more subsequent different states, which may enable a feedback loop back to a past state to ensure a sequence of access events. In certain embodiments, the sequence of access events may be configured to ensure one or more safety protocols or parameters.

  • Patent number: 11773809
    Abstract: A leak detection module (LDM) includes a housing, a canister valve solenoid (CVS) that is arranged within the housing and in fluid communication along a first fluid passageway between first and second ports. The module also includes a pump that is arranged within the housing and is in fluid communication with the first and second ports, and a pressure sensor that is in fluid communication with at least one of the first and second ports. A first controller is arranged in the housing and is in communication with the pump, the CVS and the pressure sensor. The first controller runs a test procedure using the pump and operating the CVS between open and closed positions to monitor a pressure within the module. The first controller communicates a result based upon the monitored pressure to a second controller that is arranged outside the housing and remotely from the module.

  • Patent number: 11773562
    Abstract: A pin grabber coupler and method for locking and unlocking a tool to a machine is disclosed. The pin grabber coupler may comprise a tertiary lock configured to pivot between an unlocked TL position and a locked TL position. The tertiary lock may include a first and second shoulders, a leg, a tab, a latch, a bias member and a detent. The bias member may be configured to exert a biasing force on the tertiary lock to urge the tertiary lock to the locked TL position. The detent may be configured to exert, when in a hold position, a holding force against the latch that is greater than the biasing force exerted by the bias member. When the detent is in a release position, the holding force applied by the detent against the latch is less than the biasing force applied by the bias member.

  • Patent number: 11769598
    Abstract: This description provides risk notifications for a geographic region to inform patients and effect behavior changes to prevent rescue events and exacerbations from occurring. A risk analysis for a geographic region is based on data gathered from a population of patients who may experience respiratory events within the geographic region. Rescue medication events, environmental conditions relevant to the rescue medication events, and other contextually relevant information are detected by sensors associated with a population of patients' medicament device/s and are collected from other sources, respectively, to provide a basis to determine a risk score. This data is analyzed to determine the severity of the risk of a respiratory event occurring within a geographical region and accordingly sending a notification to patients within that geographical region.

  • Patent number: 11762793
    Abstract: DMA architectures capable of performing multi-level multi-striding and determining multiple memory addresses in parallel are described. In one aspect, a DMA system includes one or more hardware DMA threads. Each DMA thread includes a request generator configured to generate, during each parallel memory address computation cycle, m memory addresses for a multi-dimensional tensor in parallel and, for each memory address, a respective request for a memory system to perform a memory operation. The request generator includes m memory address units that each include a step tracker configured to generate, for each dimension of the tensor, a respective step index value for the dimension and, based on the respective step index value, a respective stride offset value for the dimension.
