  • Patent number: 11404152
    Abstract: A data collection device is configured to capture images of a dosage indicator of a medicament delivery device and, if an injection is administered without prior confirmation of a dosage amount, to prompt the user to set a value for the delivered medicament dosage amount for storing in a dosage log. For example, the determination may be based on specific confirmation from the user or detecting a zero dosage amount in captured images. A suggested dosage amount may be displayed to the user, for example a highest or more recently programmed dosage amount prior to the injection or based on one or more previously confirmed dosage amounts. The data collection device may use one or more of optical character recognition, optical pattern recognition and determination of direction of rotation of a dosage adjustment component to determine whether an injection is being, or has been, administered and/or a suggested dosage amount.

  • Patent number: 11276098
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein include techniques for providing information regarding a hardware part using a scannable code so that a customer can make an informed decision when placing the hardware part in a larger computing system. A customer may purchase hardware parts that are categorized into a certain bin which has guaranteed range of power consumption or performance. The customer may over design the computing system to accommodate the worst parameter in the range (e.g., the minimum performance or the maximum power consumption) to ensure the timing or power specifications are not violated. Instead, the embodiments herein provide a scannable code on the hardware part which the customer can use to access a database which stores more granular information about the part. The customer can use the performance parameters to make better informed decisions to determine where to place the part in the computing system.

  • Patent number: 11244381
    Abstract: A method comprises a computer-implemented virtual reality (VR) system connecting VR devices in a collaborative VR session. The VR devices are associated with participants in a collaborative activity to perform an ordered procedure directed to a real-world assembly. The VR system receives session inputs from VR devices associated with the participants. The session inputs correspond to actions of the participants to modify a virtual object included in a VR expression of the VR session. The virtual object corresponds to the real-world assembly. In response to the session inputs, the VR system performs a transaction directed to the virtual object, which produces modifications of the real-world assembly corresponding to the modifications of the virtual object. A collaborative VR system can comprise a VR server and VR devices configured to perform the method. A computer program product can instruct processors of a VR system to perform the method.

  • Patent number: 11151634
    Abstract: In some examples, a service computing device receives an indication that a buyer associated with a buyer profile has selected a first item to purchase from a first merchant site. The service computing device associates information related to the first item with a persistent virtual cart associated with the buyer profile. The service computing device receives an indication that the buyer has selected a second item to purchase from the second merchant site. The service computing device associates information related to the second item with the buyer profile. The service computing device receives, from a buyer device, an indication of intention to purchase the items in the persistent virtual cart. Consequently, the service computing device may send an order for the first item to a computing device associated with the first merchant and an order for the second item to a computing device associated with the second merchant.
