  • Patent number: 10925768
    Abstract: An ophthalmic treatment system and method for performing therapy on target tissue in a patient's eye. A delivery system delivers treatment light to the patient's eye and a camera captures a live image of the patient's eye. Control electronics control the delivery system, register a pre-treatment image of the patient's eye to the camera's live image (where the pre-treatment image includes a treatment template that identifies target tissue within the patient's eye), and verify whether or not the delivery system is aligned to the target tissue defined by the treatment template. The control electronics control the delivery system to project the treatment light onto the patient's eye in response to both an activation of a trigger device and the verification that the delivery system is aligned to the target tissue, as well as adjust delivery system alignment to track eye movement.

  • Patent number: 10930093
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system configured to generate synchronized electronic vehicle event records. The synchronized vehicle event records may include vehicle operation information, video information, and/or other information. The synchronized electronic vehicle event records may be generated remotely (e.g., “in the cloud”) from a vehicle. The system is configured to communicate with factory installed and/or other (e.g., third party) vehicle systems to generate the vehicle event information and/or cause other information relevant to a particular vehicle event to be transmitted in addition to the vehicle event information. By communicating with existing vehicle systems and causing these systems to transmit information related to vehicle events themselves, and generating the synchronized electronic vehicle event records remotely from a vehicle the system reduces the amount and/or cost of aftermarket equipment that must be installed in a vehicle for vehicle event monitoring.

  • Patent number: 10931031
    Abstract: A GNSS compact antenna comprising a conducting ground plane and a driven element for exciting right hand circularly polarized waves having a multi-segment structure such that the area around the driven element is divided into elementary cells with conductors and circuit elements arranged therein. The antenna includes a set of circuit elements connecting the neighboring elementary cells and the driven element. Each elementary cell has a horizontal conductor over the ground plane, and each elementary cell can have a vertical conductor and a circuit element connecting the horizontal and vertical conductors. The horizontal conductor comprises a set of characteristic points to which circuit elements, connecting neighboring elementary cells or any elementary cell and the driven element, are connected. Both the impedance of each circuit elements and the design of each elementary cell can be different, but the antenna has four-fold rotational symmetry relative to the vertical axis.

  • Patent number: 10930155
    Abstract: An infrastructure-based warning system, where the system is used as part of an intelligent intersection or intelligent road, and is used to detect various objects, such as vulnerable road users (VRUs) and vehicles. The system includes both cameras and radar, the operation of which is optimized based on which of the camera or radar is least affected by current conditions. This optimization includes the use of a marker, attached to infrastructure in the field of view of the detection device, such as a camera, to be optimized. If the camera accurately and consistently detects the marker, then camera detections of objects are weighted with more significance than the detection of objects using radar. If on the other hand, if the camera is unable to accurately detect the marker because of ambient conditions, then the greatest amount of confidence is placed on radar detection.

  • Publication number: 20210049023
    Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for stateless modification of operating system registry data across network boundaries. The system includes a processor coupled to memory and configured to execute instructions to receive, within a first network, a request to apply a modification to an operating system registry of a second device within a second network different from the first network. The processor queues data describing the requested modification, receives a polling request from the second device, and transmits, to the second device responsive to the polling request, the queued data describing the requested modification for the second device to apply to the operating system registry of the second device. For example, the requested modification may be to create a key, to create a value, to delete a key, or to delete a value.
