  • Dynamic management of computing platform resources
    Patent number: 10666572
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for methods for the management of logically partitioned computing resources of a data processing system configured with a plurality of hypervisors that each manages one or more logical partitions of the computing resources. Each hypervisor and logical partitions managed thereby are allocated to a domain of a plurality of domains. Logical partitions and hypervisors allocated to a first domain are monitored to determine whether additional computing resources are needed for the first domain. Responsive to determining that additional computing resources are needed for the first domain, a second domain having available computing resources is determined. At least a portion of the available computing resources of the second domain are used by the first domain.

  • System and method for controlling operational facets of a compressor from a remote location
    Patent number: 10663960
    Abstract: Operational facets of a compressor are controlled from a remotely-located computer. Data from the compressor is automatically collected at a first data store every first time increment of a first time period. Portions of the data from the first data store are automatically collected at a second data store every second time increment of each first time period. The second time increment is greater than the first time increment, and the portions of the data are collected for a second time period which is greater than the first time period. Successful verification of user authentication data collected at the computer causes automatic generation of an image of application icons at the computer to enable the computer as an input device for controlling the compressor and selections of routines available at an analytics visualization generator that uses data from the second data store.

  • Structure for secure containment of information
    Patent number: 10661594
    Abstract: A structure for secure containment of information (SSCI) that is in the form of a laminate which includes at least two layers. The laminate is constructed to contain information such as a code, serial number, informational feature, encryption key or personal identification number (PIN). The information is located between the layer of the laminate such that the code, serial number, informational feature, encryption key, or PIN is not detectable from outside the laminate. The SSCI is configured to provide access and expose the code, serial number, informational feature, encryption key, or PIN by delaminating at least one layer, thereby indicating that tampering has occurred to the laminate. The SSCI can also function as a public key or private key for a blockchain, to provide access to a physical lock or to provide account access to claim financial value.

  • Systems and methods of tracking users within a facility
    Patent number: 10667057
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking users within a facility. The facility includes two or more zones and each facility zone is associated with a respective acoustic device. The system includes a communication module, a processor, and memory storing processor executable instructions. The instructions, when executed, cause the processor to: receive a first acoustic input from a first acoustic device associated with a first zone and determine that the first acoustic input is associated with a first user. The instructions, when executed, further cause the processor to associate the first acoustic input with the first user. Using contextual data of the first user, the instructions, when executed, further cause the processor to confirm the association of the first acoustic input with the first user and associate a location of the first user with the first zone.

  • Devices, systems and methods for inhibiting or disrupting pediatric anxiety
    Patent number: 10661048
    Abstract: Children who experience anxiety associated with novel situations react physically and emotionally in ways that make it challenging for the child, parents, educators, and providers to proceed with the intended goal of that novel situation. Anxiety in children can be reduced by introducing fun or distracting stimuli that act on specific neural pathways. The stimuli introduced can familiarize a child with the environment in which the procedure will take place and the equipment and people which the child will meet. In the healthcare setting, by using consistent stimuli, and by disrupting anxiety at one or more of a series of stages in which anxiety typically occurs, a reduction in needed anesthesia can be achieved, which is healthier for the child and reduces the costs associated with the medical or dental procedure.

  • Systems, devices, and methods for monitoring object locations
    Patent number: 10664704
    Abstract: Methodologies, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for monitoring object locations on a shelving fixture. An electronic detection device includes a first motor for winding and unwinding a first line and a second motor for winding and unwinding a second line. A controller can control the operation of the first and second motor and the electronic detection device is suspended from the first and second line behind a shelving fixture. When the first and second motor wind and unwind the first and second line, the electronic detection device moves to an expected location of an object on a shelving fixture. The electronic detection device also includes sensors that can determine an identity of the object and the quantity of the object on the shelving fixture.
