Publication number: 20240148362Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, methods, and apparatus, for coordinating scanners in an ultrasound cart. An ultrasound system can include an ultrasound cart having a scanner holder configured to hold ultrasound scanners, a display device configured to display a visual representation of the scanner holder, and at least one of the ultrasound scanners. The visual representation can be implemented to identify locations of the ultrasound scanners on the scanner holder. The ultrasound scanners can be configured to indicate, while being held in the scanner holder, that one ultrasound scanner of the ultrasound scanners is to be selected for an ultrasound examination. The ultrasound scanner can also be configured to implement a first ultrasound imaging mode when a display device is attached to the ultrasound cart, and a second ultrasound imaging mode and not the first ultrasound imaging mode when the display device is removed from the ultrasound cart.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: David Knapp, Kenji Kimura, Tyler Dawson, Craig Chamberlain, Andrew Lundberg

Publication number: 20190355271Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods of health reporting are disclosed that enhance decision support and provide alerts when health deterioration or the need for intervention has been detected. Embodiments utilize combined pictorial representations (including physical, mental, and social health determinants) as an avatar or pictogram, comparing health status to a general or target population, and using different methods to represent and reinforce health status. The apparatus, systems, and methods further enable individuals to access their own medical records in a way that can be understood by them and therefore is more widely accessible. The invention enhances health reporting, improving utility, usability and desirability of health reporting tools.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Inventors: Thomas Andrew DAWSON, Laura Miranda Gilbert, Ioannis TSITSONIS

Patent number: 10302161Abstract: Sealing means are disclosed for preventing the ingress of water and dirt between a brake caliper and the carrier guide pin. At the end of the guide pin facing away from the brake carrier, a retaining clip holds a sealing bead of a sealing boot at least partially within an axial bore of the guide pin. At the end of the guide pin which faces towards the carrier, a sealing boot is provided seated on a ring which in turn is attached to the caliper. The other end of the sealing boot is attached to the guide pin, in a space between the guide pin and the ring. The sealing means at either end are compact, and provide effective sealing where there is not enough space to provide known sealing means.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2017Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: MEI BRAKES LIMITEDInventors: Paul Roberts, Jonathan Leslie Christopher Jackson, Andrew Dawson, Alexis Jonathan Randall

Publication number: 20180295120Abstract: A method for granting access by a user to a computerized system includes first authenticating the user based on initial user authentication information and, every time upon a successful authentication: establishing a session, during which the user is granted the access to the computerized system; saving a resultant based on session-limited user authentication information; and using the saved resultant, during the established session, for authenticating the user for granting subsequent access by the user during the established session based on subsequent user authentication information that is manually entered. The subsequent access may include access following a period of inactivity by the user, or the subsequent access may include access to a sensitive area of the computerized system that is more secure than other areas of the computerized system to which access is granted upon the initial authentication.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2018Publication date: October 11, 2018Inventors: Laura Miranda Dawson, Thomas Andrew DAWSON

Publication number: 20180262503Abstract: A user generates a single session passcode after a normal authentication has been used to access a system. This single session passcode thereafter is used to re-authenticate the user during the session without requiring the repeated use of the normal authentication. Such re-authentication may occur, for example, upon a timeout event, or when the user attempts to access resources, data, or areas within the system that are more secure than other resources, data, or areas within the system that are accessible following the start of the session.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2018Publication date: September 13, 2018Inventors: Laura Miranda Dawson, Thomas Andrew DAWSON
