  • Patent number: 11428533
    Abstract: A method and system of magnetic fingerprinting for mobile device indoor navigation and positioning. The method, executed in a processor of a server computing device, comprises generating a magnetic infrastructure profile of at least a portion of the indoor area; determining, in the processor, a magnetic field profile based on the magnetic infrastructure profile; and generating an association of magnetic field profile parameters associated with respective locations within the indoor area as the magnetic fingerprint map.

  • Publication number: 20220080093
    Abstract: A controller for controlling an apparatus comprising a blood pump, oxygenator, and blood filtering system connected together by blood flow tubing and to a patient to circulate blood from the patient through the apparatus and back to the patient, to oxygenate and filter the blood, the controller comprising at least one communication interface operable to receive signals generated responsive to monitored parameters characterizing blood flow and/or quality of blood from the patient circulating through the apparatus and configured to: determine values for the monitored parameters based on the monitoring signals; determine whether or not a value determined for a given monitored parameter for blood circulating through the apparatus is within a normative range for the parameter; and generate an alarm to alert an operator of the system if the value is not within the normative range.

  • Publication number: 20180087906
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems of updating an orientation of a mobile device in a global reference frame. The method includes gathering mobile device gyroscope data, gathering mobile device accelerometer data, gathering mobile device magnetometer data, determining a first orientation of the mobile device based on the gyroscope data, determining a second orientation of the mobile device based on the device accelerometer data and the device magnetometer data, determining a trust factor associated with the second orientation, and updating the orientation of the mobile device based on the first orientation, the second orientation, and the trust factor.

  • Patent number: 8251098
    Abstract: The invention relates to a slide vane (20) for a hydraulic power steering of automotive vehicles with a tubular control sleeve (24). Said control sleeve is connected to an output shaft (28) and comprises first control grooves (32) in its inner surface (34). Further, there is provided a tubular sliding sleeve (26) that is disposed at least in portions within said control sleeve (24). On its outer surface (38), the sliding sleeve (26) comprises second control grooves (36) that may be brought to coincide with the first control grooves (32) of the control sleeve (24), said first control grooves (32) being disposed substantially in the circumferential direction of the tubular control sleeve (24) and said second control grooves (36) substantially in the circumferential direction of said tubular sliding sleeve (26). The relative position of said control sleeve (24) and of said sliding sleeve (26) being relatively variable in the axial direction.
