Patent number: 11991892Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a device having a substrate, at least one organic light-emitting layer disposed over the substrate, and at least one down-conversion layer. The at least one down-conversion layer may generate the NIR emission by absorbing at least a portion of the light emitted by the at least one organic light emitting layer, and re-emitting light at a longer NIR wavelength or range of wavelengths having a peak NIR emission that may be greater than 700 nm, greater than 750 nm, or greater than 800 nm. An out-of-plane optical density of the at least one down-conversion layer may be less than 0.1 for all wavelengths of light in a range from 400 nm to 600 nm.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Universal Display CorporationInventors: Eric A.

Publication number: 20230394441Abstract: A system and method for workforce scheduling using dynamic capacity ranges are provided. A capacity model associates distances of locations within a service area from a depot with a series of appointment time windows such that appointment time windows having a relatively greater amount of available worker capacity are associated with a greater range of distances than appointment time windows having a relatively smaller amount of available worker capacity. After a distance from the depot to a location of an appointment to be scheduled is determined, appointment time window suggestions are automatically produced based on which appointment time windows as defined in the capacity model are associated with the location of the appointment to be scheduled. As capacity changes due to bookings, the capacity model is dynamically updated. A system and method for workforce routing, based at least in part on using dynamic capacity ranges, are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventor: Stuart Thompson

Patent number: 11393197Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for quantifying augmented reality interaction. An exemplary system can be configured to capture, via a camera of a mobile computing device, a video feed, and extract, via a processor of the mobile computing device, an image from the video feed. The system can then determine, via the processor, that the image corresponds to a stored image in a plurality of stored images stored in an image database, resulting in a determination, and retrieve, via the processor and based on the determination, interactive content associated with the stored image. The system can then display, via a display of the mobile computing device, the interactive content as an augmented reality overlay.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Cvent, Inc.Inventors: Chad Busche, Mark Iris, Stuart Thompson, Bill Dwyer, Bhaskar Athmanathan

Patent number: 10753751Abstract: A system and method for street level routing includes dividing a mapping of a geospatial region into cells, each cell having one or more pathways located within the cell. A traversability weighting is determined for each of the cells, based at least on a traversability measure associated with the one or more pathways located within the respective cell. Total weights associated with one or more routes for traversing every cell to every other cell are pre-calculated, and the pre-calculated total weights are used to determine one or more routes between a first point and a second point in the geospatial region, with one or more preferred routes determined in accordance with a ranking of the one or more routes between the first cell and the second cell, the ranking based on one or more efficiency criteria.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2015Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Stuart Thompson, Robert Gardner

Publication number: 20170362558Abstract: An apparatus is provided for mechanically loading a biological sample. The apparatus comprises: a container for housing the biological sample; a ferromagnetic element, for attachment to the biological sample within the container; and a solenoid for generating a magnetic field within the container, so as to apply a force to the ferromagnetic element. The solenoid is configured, when energised by a constant current, to produce a force on the ferromagnetic element that varies by less than a predetermined amount over a predetermined range of movement of the magnet within the container. A method of mechanically loading a biological sample is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2015Publication date: December 21, 2017Inventors: Jonathan Joshua Burton, Malcolm McCulloch, Mark Stuart Thompson, Chris Stevens

Publication number: 20170004420Abstract: A method for generating workforce street level routing is provided. The method includes ranking each job within a set of jobs available for assignment at times of day to a worker and producing a street level routing assignment schedule including a sequence of jobs assigned to the worker in which each of the sequence of jobs corresponds to a highest ranked job within the set of jobs available for assignment to the worker at each particular time of day during a work-shift. The ranking step includes creating a coefficient representing an appeal for venturing or homing of the worker at each particular time of day during the work-shift, developing a score from a plurality of factors for each job within the set of jobs at each particular time of day, and using the coefficient representing the appeal for venturing or homing to produce at least one of the factors.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2016Publication date: January 5, 2017Inventor: Stuart Thompson

Patent number: 8377636Abstract: The present invention provides diagnostic and prognostic methods for predicting the effectiveness of treatment of a cancer patient with inhibitors of EGFR kinase, PDGFR kinase, or FGFR kinase. Based on the surprising discovery that tumors cells after having undergone an EMT, while being mesenchymal-like, still express characteristics of both epithelial and mesenchymal cells, and that such cells have altered sensitivity to inhibition by receptor protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitors, in that they have become relatively insensitive to EGFR kinase inhibitors, but have frequently acquired sensitivity to inhibitors of other receptor protein-tyrosine kinases such as PDGFR or FGFR, methods have been devised for determining levels of specific epithelial and mesenchymal biomarkers that identify such “hybrid” tumor cells (e.g. determination of co-expression of vimentin and epithelial keratins), and thus predict the tumor's likely sensitivity to inhibitors of EGFR kinase, PDGFR kinase, or FGFR kinase.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2008Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: OSI Pharmaceuticals, LLCInventors: John D.

Publication number: 20090040302Abstract: An automated intelligent surveillance system comprises one or more fixed reference cameras to spatially map and observe a panoramic field of view, together with a movable narrow-field high resolution camera which is controlled in pan tilt & zoom, and a computing device. The computing device is capable of analysing the reference images received from anywhere within the panoramic field of view, and identifying the presence of specific types of object or specific behaviours of objects. The computing device uses the outcome of this analysis to direct the movable camera to the appropriate area of the spatial map to cause it to zoom in to gather close-up images of one or more of the selected objects or events of interest. These images are recorded synchronously with the related wide angle reference images, in a high speed random access store within the computing device. The parameters defining an object or event as being of interest may be pre-set, user selected, or adaptively learned by the computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2006Publication date: February 12, 2009Inventor: Stuart Thompson
