Publication number: 20250161598Abstract: A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit may simulate a cigarette. A flow of electrical power may be coupled through solderless pressure contacts to activate a heating element. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the liquid to be vaporized may be vaporized by an atomizer assembly. Vapors may then be aspirated by the user through an oral aspiration tube, where they may be inhaled.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2025Publication date: May 22, 2025Inventors: Noah Mark Minskoff, Nathan Andrew Terry

Publication number: 20250152863Abstract: A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette has a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2025Publication date: May 15, 2025Inventors: Nathan Andrew Terry, Noah Mark Minskoff

Publication number: 20250141727Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a polar transmitter using a reduced frequency modulation (FM) range. Baseband complex data can be converted into magnitude and phase components by a cartesian-to-polar conversion module. For each respective phase of the phase component, a phase selection can be determined from a plurality of phase selection candidates and used to generate a phase select parameter and a modified phase for the respective phase. A set of clock signals includes a clock signal with a frequency controlled by the modified phase, and one or more shifted clock signals with phase shifts relative to the clock signal. An input clock signal can be selected from the set using the phase select parameter. A power amplifier can be driven by the magnitude component according to the input clock signal to generate a RF signal for transmission by the polar transmitter on a wireless medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2024Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: Ryan Thompson, Yingbo Zhu, Justin Penfold, Andrew Terry

Patent number: 12251200Abstract: The invention provides a neck-worn sensor (referred to herein as the ‘necklace’) that is a single, body-worn system that measures the following parameters from an ambulatory patient: heart rate, pulse rate, pulse oximetry, respiratory rate, temperature, thoracic fluid levels, stroke volume, cardiac output, and a parameter sensitive to blood pressure called pulse transit time. From stroke volume, a first algorithm employing a linear model can estimate the patient's pulse pressure. And from pulse pressure and pulse transit time, a second algorithm, also employing a linear algorithm, can estimate systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Thus, the necklace can measure all five vital signs along with hemodynamic parameters. It also includes a motion-detecting accelerometer, from which it can determine motion-related parameters such as posture, degree of motion, activity level, respiratory-induced heaving of the chest, and falls.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignees: BAXTER INTERNATIONAL INC., BAXTER HEALTHCARE SAInventors: Matthew Banet, Susan Meeks Pede, Marshal Singh Dhillon, Andrew Terry, Kenneth Robert Hunt

The disclosed technology can include receiving a data input including a plurality of features. The data input can be segmented into regions. At least one of the regions can include two or more of the features. Attribution scores can be respectively generated for features of the data input. The attribution scores for each feature can be indicative of a respective saliency of such feature. A respective gain value for each region can be determined over one or more iterations based on the respective attribution scores associated with the features included in the region. Further, at each iteration one or more of the regions with the greatest gain values can be added to a saliency mask. Furthermore, at each iteration a saliency visualization can be produced based on the saliency mask.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2023Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Andrei Kapishnikov, Fernanda Bertini Viégas, Michael Andrew Terry, Tolga Bolukbasi

Publication number: 20250036376Abstract: The present disclosure provides to transparent and controllable human-AI interaction via chaining of machine-learned language models. In particular, although existing language models (e.g., so-called “large language models” (LLMs)) have demonstrated impressive potential on simple tasks, their breadth of scope, lack of transparency, and insufficient controllability can make them less effective when assisting humans on more complex tasks. In response, the present disclosure introduces the concept of chaining instantiations of machine-learned language models (e.g., LLMs) together, where the output of one instantiation becomes the input for the next, and so on, thus aggregating the gains per step.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Carrie Cai, Tongshuang Wu, Michael Andrew Terry

Publication number: 20240414391Abstract: An example computing device establishes a first network connection to a playback device that supports a first communication protocol for sending audio content for playback to the playback device, and detects user input associated with a modification to the playback. While the computing device and the playback device are connected to a common data network that supports a second communication protocol, the computing device transmits, via the common data network using the second communication protocol, a command to modify media playback based on the user input. While the computing device or playback device are not connected to the common data network that supports the second communication protocol, the computing device (i) establishes a second network connection to the playback device that supports a third communication protocol, and (ii) transmits, via the second network connection using the third communication protocol, a command to modify media playback based on the user input.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2022Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Bruce Weathered von Kugelgen, Michael Nuzzolo, Michelle Diane Sintov, Marisa McKently, Damjan Stulic, Paul Andrew Terry
