  • Publication number: 20220188453
    Abstract: A clinical communication system includes a first device, which can include one or more processors configured to receive a first command to receive clinical data from a second device, operate, responsive to receiving the first command, an image capture device, detect, by the image capture device, a first image representing the clinical data, identify a first patient associated with the clinical data, transmit, using communications circuitry, an identifier of the first patient and at least one of the first image or the clinical data to a third device, receive, using the communications circuitry, presentation data corresponding to the clinical data, and present a user interface representing the presentation data.

  • Patent number: 11101040
    Abstract: A system includes an image capture device and one or more processors. The image capture device is configured to detect a plurality of images regarding a subject. The one or more processors are configured to receive the plurality of images, identify the subject using the plurality of images, detect a movement of the subject using the plurality of images, compare the movement to a predetermined movement pattern, generate a movement metric based on the comparison, and store, in a database, an association between a subject profile corresponding to the identified subject, the plurality of images, and the movement metric.

  • Patent number: 7560893
    Abstract: A method and structure receives a desired rotational speed and/or step frequency for an electric motor. If the desired rotational speed is above a predetermined limit, the method performs closed-loop mode control of coil current of the electric motor by varying the average voltage supplied to the electric stepper motor according to observed feedback current from the current feedback loop connected to the electric stepper motor. To the contrary, if the desired rotational speed is not above the predetermined limit, the method performs open-loop mode control of coil current of the electric stepper motor by setting the average voltage supplied to the electric stepper motor according to values computed from the step frequency, irrespective of the observed feedback current from the current feedback loop.

  • Publication number: 20090026690
    Abstract: This is a simple and effective multi-feed system for use in marking apparatus where the transport of paper or other media is vital. The system is independent of the weight or type of paper used as was not the case in the prior art. The present system employs the natural strength and thickness of the paper to separate one sheet from the other. This separation is used to trigger a detector alerting the system of a multi-feed of paper.

  • Patent number: 5823831
    Abstract: A battery terminal connector which can be removed and connected securely without a tool, and is simple both in use and in construction is disclosed. The battery terminal connector comprises a body that receives a battery terminal and a cam shaft rotatable within the body for engaging the terminal to lock the connector to the terminal. The cam shaft on rotation between an unlock and lock position pulls the body downwards onto the terminal and moves laterally across the terminal to lock the connector to the terminal.
