Patent number: 11504071Abstract: Apparatus for assessing medical risks of a patient includes an analytics engine and equipment that provides data to the analytics engine. The equipment includes a patient support apparatus such as a patient bed, a nurse call computer, a physiological monitor, a patient lift, a locating computer of a locating system, and an incontinence detection pad. The analytics engine analyzes the data from the equipment to determine a sepsis risk score, a falls risk score, and a pressure injury score. The apparatus further include displays that are communicatively coupled to the analytics engine and that display the sepsis, falls, and pressure injury risk scores. The displays include a status board display located at a master nurse station, an in-room display provided by a room station of a nurse call system, an electronic medical records (EMR) display of an EMR computer, and a mobile device display of a mobile device of a caregiver assigned to the patient.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2019Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Terry, Brian L.

Publication number: 20190371049Abstract: Scenes of objects, such as models in three-dimensional environments and user interface elements in window-based computing environments, are often rendered with shadows cast by a first object on a second object based on a light source. Full graphics engines often produce rich and high-fidelity shadows but involve extensive computation that may be unsuitable for some lower-powered devices. Simple shadowing techniques, such as drop shadows, may be rendered with modest computational processing, but only within significant restrictions and with poor fidelity. Presented herein is a shadow rendering technique that involves identifying a silhouette cast by an object due to a light source and applying a geometric transform, based upon the positions of the objects and the light source within the scene. The shadows may further include variations for opacity and/or edge blurring, reflecting distances between the light source and the objects, and colored shadows that exhibit translucency as a stained-glass effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2018Publication date: December 5, 2019Inventors: Anthony Tunjen HSIEH, Ryan Terry BICKEL, Nick Alexander EUBANKS, Minmin GONG, Danielle Renee NEUBERGER, Christopher Nathaniel RAUBACHER, Geoffrey Tyler TROUSDALE

Patent number: 9292161Abstract: A pointer tool in a touch-screen display is disclosed. The method includes activating a pointer tool in a touch screen display in response to contact with an area of the touch screen and persisting the displaying of the pointer tool in the touch screen display after the contact with the touch screen is removed. Once editing data is received, the pointer tool is removed from the touch screen display.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Benjamin F. Carter, Priyanka Singhal, Shawna Julie Davis, Tirthankar Sengupta, Jeffrey Cheng-Yao Fong, Ryan Terry Bickel, Peter Gregory Davis

Publication number: 20160073738Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some implementations a circumferential strap body having a magnetized item is fixedly attached to the circumferential strap body, an undersole strap having two ends is operably coupled to the circumferential strap body by at least one of the two ends of the undersole strap, and a metal item is magnetically attached to the magnetized item to pin or immobilize a boot cuff between the magnetized item and the metal item to prevent the boot cuff from moving under a heel of a boot and becoming damaged or frayed while walking.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2014Publication date: March 17, 2016Inventor: Ryan Terry

Patent number: 9027507Abstract: A method of internally restoring a pipe preferably includes the steps of isolating a leaking pipe from a system of pipes; drying an interior of a leaking pipe; measuring the airflow through the leak; cleaning the interior of the leaking pipe; presealing a leak with a leak sealing media, measuring the leak flow rate after the pre-sealing; applying an internal protective coating process; and pressure testing the leaking pipe for leaks. The pipe restoration method preferably uses a control box, a media injection system, an air compressor and a coating dispensing system at an inlet of the leaking pipe. The pipe restoration method preferably uses a coating overflow receiver, a muffler and a dust collector at an exit of the leaking pipe. After the treatments, the leaking pipe becomes a restored pipe. The restored pipe is pressure tested for leaks at a working pressure rating of the pipe.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2013Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Inventors: Roy A. Terry, Ryan A. Terry, Michael T. Terry

Publication number: 20140370183Abstract: A method of restoring a system of pipes preferably includes the steps of preparation of the system; airflow mapping the system; drying and cleaning the system of pipes; injecting the interior coating material into each system inlet; monitoring and controlling airflow rates through the system of pipes to track the progression of the liquid coating; curing or drying the interior coating; and airflow mapping the pipe system upon completion. The system restoration method preferably uses a multiple line control box, a media injection system, an air compressor and a coating dispensing system at an inlet of the leaking pipe. The system restoration method preferably uses a coating overflow receiver, a muffler and a dust collector at an outlet of the system of pipes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2014Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: Roy A.

Patent number: 7742923Abstract: A numbering scheme is disclosed for implementation in the context of an application display. A user is able to select an item on the display by speaking a number corresponding to a desired control item. In some cases, the screen can include so many numbers that the user loses context and is unable to identify which number they want to select. For this reason, in one embodiment, a temporal switching mechanism is implemented wherein periodic switches (e.g., second-long intervals) occur between showing numbered items and showing a non-numbered screen. In one embodiment, an optional secondary confirmation step is implemented wherein the user sees only the item they just selected and has the chance to (a) learn the programmatic name of the item they selected and/or (b) either confirm and proceed with their selection, or cancel. In one embodiment, the optional secondary confirmation step is omitted if the user speaks a number followed by a predetermined command word.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2004Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ryan Terry Bickel, Oscar E. Murillo, David Mowatt, Robert L. Chambers, Oliver Scholz
