Publication number: 20240146694Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques for securely managing the transmission of register operations to endpoint devices (e.g., circuit breakers and other forms of electrical equipment). A firewall management component can add, through a secure communications channel, an entry to a firewall structure maintained on a firewall device. The entry can specify (i) a register operation for an endpoint device, (ii) a value for the register operation, and (iii) a count of times that the register operation can be performed. The firewall management component transmits register operation to the firewall device to be forwarded to the endpoint device. The firewall device is configured to forward the register operation to the endpoint device only if the count specified in the firewall structure would not be exceeded.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Schneider Electric USA, Inc.Inventors: Chad Andrew LLOYD, Daniel Andre PAILLET

Publication number: 20240096461Abstract: An inbound message including medical record content may be received. The inbound message may indicate a healthcare entity and a vendor entity. It may be determined, from the healthcare entity and stored correspondences between medical record formats and healthcare entities, that the medical record content of the inbound message is in a first medical record format. Which configuration record of stored configuration records specifying combinations of sets of rules may be determined to apply as a translation to the inbound message based upon the medical record content of the inbound message and the first medical record format. The sets of rules as indicated by the configuration record may be accessed and applied to the inbound message to translate the medical record content in the inbound message from the first medical record format to the standardized format.

Patent number: 11914084Abstract: For determining whether oil waste at a field testing site is exempt from selected naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) waste regulations, a measurement apparatus including a detection module that determine radioactivity counts per minute for an oil waste sample is utilized. The measurement apparatus includes an analysis module that uses a first nonlinear transfer function to determine a mass for the oil waste based on a volume of solids determined via BS&W testing. The analysis module uses a second nonlinear transfer function to determine a maximum radioactivity level for the sample which is then normalized to picoCuries/g. The normalized maximum radioactivity level per gram is compared to a NORM exemption level for a selected region and communicated to entities at the field-testing site and optionally to other entities. A system and a method perform the functions of the measurement apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Field Water Testing, LLCInventors: Christopher Lloyd, Andrew Duncan

Patent number: 11017548Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to techniques for computing dimensions of an object using multiple range images. In this aspect, the multiple range images are captured from selective locations and satisfy a pre-defined criterion. In accordance with various embodiments, at least a pair of 3D points are identified from the multiple range images, which correspond to at least one geometric feature on a surface of the object. In this regard, a correspondence score is estimated for the identified at least one pair of 3D points. The correspondence score is then utilized for registering the at least one pair of 3D points. Based in part on the registration of the 3D points and 3D point clouds retrieved from the captured images, the dimensions of the object are computed.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: HAND HELD PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Ryan Andrew Lloyd, Scott McCloskey

Patent number: 10859375Abstract: Methods to improve the accuracy of non-contact measurements of an object's dimensions using a dimensioning system are disclosed. The methods include a method for creating a mathematical model (i.e., error model) based on an observed correlation between errors in an estimated dimension and the characteristics of the measurement used to obtain the estimated dimension. These error models may be created for various dimensions and stored for future use. The methods also include a method for using the stored error models to reduce the error associated with a particular dimensioning-system measurement. Here an error model is used to create an estimated error. The estimated error is then removed from the estimate of the dimension to produce a final estimate of the dimension that is more accurate.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Hand Held Products, Inc.Inventors: Scott McCloskey, Ryan Andrew Lloyd, Jingquan Li, Brian L.

Patent number: 10679367Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to techniques for computing dimensions of a non-cuboid shaped object using angular estimates associated with 3D points captured in an image of a scene including the object. In this regard, a dimensioning system may capture at least one image of the scene including the object and identify one or more planes on the object from the captured at least one image. Further, a surface plane from amongst the one or more identified planes that contains a maximum number of three-dimensional (3D) surface points on the object is determined. Upon determination of the surface plane, angular estimation is determined representing angular values between a normal to the surface plane and a normal to a reference plane. Accordingly, the angular estimation is further used along with an estimated height of the object for computing the dimensions of the object.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Hand Held Products, Inc.Inventors: Scott McCloskey, Ryan Andrew Lloyd

Publication number: 20200121767Abstract: The disclosure features methods for identifying the health state of patients having hypophosphatasia (HPP). The health state of the patient, once identified, can be used to, e.g., assign a treatment regimen featuring the administration of a soluble alkaline phosphatase (sALP) to the patient, to monitor the efficacy of the treatment regimen, and/or to modify the treatment regimen. The methods also include assessing the transition of a patient with HPP from one health state to another, e.g., after completion of a treatment regimen that includes administering an sALP.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2018Publication date: April 23, 2020Applicant: Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Ioannis C.
