  • Publication number: 20240401866
    Abstract: Perishable products, such as food items or biological samples, often require specific temperature control to prolong their shelf life or maintain their integrity during storage and transportation. Supercooling, achieved by subjecting the products to pulsed electric fields, can effectively reduce their temperature while preserving their quality. The present disclosure addresses the various drawbacks in the related art by providing a method and system for selectively applying pulsed electric fields to perishable products using a plurality of electrodes. The method includes supplying power to different combinations of electrodes positioned within a container housing the perishable products, obtaining measurement data for each combination, selecting the combination based on the obtained measurement data, and applying a pulsed electric field between the selected electrodes to cool the perishable products.

  • Publication number: 20210052869
    Abstract: The present technology includes systems and methods for treating pain by pulsing heat into a volume of tissue containing thermoreceptors. The pulsed heat may be configured to induce stimulation of thermoreceptors. The pulsed heat may also be applied at a frequency configured to induce desensitization of at least a subset of the thermoreceptors.

  • Patent number: 9160717
    Abstract: Computer systems, methods, and computer readable media for facilitating a secure transaction are provided in which a client application is executed on a client computer. The client application initiates a request to a first domain comprising (i) a credential for the client application, (ii) a transaction identifier that uniquely identifies the request, and (iii) optionally, an identification of a user of the client application. Responsive to this request, the client receives a validated transaction module from the first domain. The client application loads the validated transaction module into a separate domain security sandbox that is segregated from memory space in which the client application is run. The validated transaction module conducts a validated transaction between the second domain and the validated transaction module. Separately, through the client application, a determination is made as to whether the transaction is complete by querying the first domain.

  • Patent number: 9134881
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating character input using a graphical input display having a carousel of characters are provided. In an aspect, a system includes an interface component configured to generate a carousel graphical input display, the carousel graphical input display comprising a plurality of characters arranged in a fixed line, wherein a cursor is configured to move over the characters about the line and the cursor shifts from a first end of the line to a second end of the line in response to reaching either the first end of the line or the second end of the line. The system further includes an input component configured to receive a command to move the cursor over the characters to focus on respective ones of the characters.
