Patent number: 11230124Abstract: An example device includes a page sensor to detect a page of a print medium picked from a source tray of a printer. The device further includes a processor connected to the page sensor. The processor is to determine a delay in detection by the page sensor of the page conveyed by a page feed mechanism. In response to determination of the delay, the processor is to control the page feed mechanism to continue to convey the page through the printer and the processor is further to trigger the printer to reprint data intended for the page to a subsequently picked page of print medium.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2018Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Brian Todd Bartlow

Patent number: 11229795Abstract: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) delivered to a heart of a patient may be adjusted based on detection of a surrogate indication of the intrinsic atrioventricular conduction of the heart. In some examples, the surrogate indication is determined to be a sense event of the first depolarizing ventricle of the heart within a predetermined period of time following the delivery of a fusion pacing stimulus to the later depolarizing ventricle. In some examples, the CRT is switched from a fusion pacing configuration to a biventricular pacing configuration if the surrogate indication is not detected, and the CRT is maintained in a fusion pacing configuration if the surrogate indication is detected.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Aleksandre Sambelashvili, Thomas J.

Patent number: 11232465Abstract: Disclosed is a churn prediction system that predicts with a high level of accuracy which users will and which users will not stop opening the app over a 30-day time period. To this end a model is created using historical event data where the churn-related behavior of each user is known. New event data is then applied to the model to determine the likelihood of each user churning in the future. With these prediction scores a user is then qualified as falling into one of three classifications: low-risk, medium-risk, or high-risk of churn.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2017Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Airship Group, Inc.Inventors: Elizabeth Marjory Orr, Gary Todd Johnson, Neel Banerjee

Patent number: 11232857Abstract: Systems and methods for fully-automated contact-less biometric measurement include receiving a stream of image frames from an internet capable device. Frame data is extracted from the stream of image frames. A predictive load balancer selects a worker server based on a load prediction. An interface delivery server communicates the frame data from the internet capable device to the worker server. A set of patient face images captured by the frame data are extracted. A facial recognition machine learning model determines a patient identity associated with the set of patient face images of the frame data. A shared memory system stores the set of patient face images. The worker server determines biometric measurements based on the set of patient face images in the shared memory system using independent biometric data processing pipelines with shared access to the shared memory system for inter-process communication.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Brainworks Foundry, Inc.Inventors: Phillip Alvelda, VII, Markus Krause, Zvi Huber, Todd Allen Stiers, Aleksandra Joanna Sokolowska
