  • Patent number: 11924376
    Abstract: An emergency call is initiated on behalf of a remote user by another software user who determines that the remote software user is experiencing an emergency event. During a real-time communication, a remote emergency alert is received from a first client device associated with a first user. The remote emergency alert identifies a second user associated with a second client device while the first client device and the second client device are in communication via real-time communication software. Based on location information determined for the second client device responsive to the remote emergency alert, an emergency call is initiated with a public safety answering point local to the second client device for indicating an emergency event associated with the second user to the public safety answering point on behalf of the second user.

  • Publication number: 20240073655
    Abstract: A lightshow control system for generating a lightshow across a plurality of pixels or mobile devices comprises a controller configured to receive a lightshow operator's input and to generate a plurality of lightshow parameters. The system comprises a beacon transmitter in communication with the lightshow controller and configured to receive the lightshow parameters from the lightshow controller, encode the lightshow parameters on a beacon signal, and broadcast the beacon signal to the pixels, wherein each pixel is configured to receive and decode the beacon signal to perform one or more display actions. The decoded beacon signal includes reference timing information to facilitate synchronization of the pixels. The display actions may be based in part on the individual pixel location which is determined by the pixel based on TDOA multilateration and/or trilateration from distinct audio signals emitted by a plurality of speaker nodes.

  • Patent number: 11865600
    Abstract: A hollow preform impact extruded from a metal billet to produce a progressing wall at a transition wall thickness. An axially forward portion of the progressing wall is ironed by extrusion past an extrusion point to form a sidewall portion of a lesser thickness. Extruding is stopped while some of the billet remains to form the closed bottom end. The preform has a bottom portion, a sidewall portion and a transition wall portion extending between the bottom portion and the sidewall portion. The transition wall portion is thicker than the sidewall portion and can be formed into at least part of the rim of an expansion shaped container. An impact extrusion punch has a central axis, an axially forward, impact surface for impacting metal to be extruded, a transition region for directing material displaced by the impact surface and a rear extrusion point for ironing material extruded past the transition region.

  • Publication number: 20240007565
    Abstract: A software platform supports multiple carriers, such as telephony carriers or public switched telephone network (PSTN) carriers, and routes calls between devices associated with different carriers without having to route the calls through the different carriers. The software platform establishes or maintains the calls between the devices associated with different carriers by transmitting a portion of call data associated with call record information to the respective carriers, and a portion of the call data associated with media and signaling information to the destination device.

  • Publication number: 20230363837
    Abstract: An image-guided robotic intervention system (“IGRIS”) may be used to perform medical procedures on patients. IGRIS provides a real-time view of patient anatomy, as well as an intended target or targets for the procedures, software that allows a user to plan an approach or trajectory path using either the image or the robotic device, software that allows a user to convert a series of 2D images into a 3D volume, and localizes the 3D volume with respect to real-time images during the procedure. IGRIS may include sensors to estimate pose of the imaging device relative to the patient to improve the performance of that software with respect to runtime, robustness, and accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20230330219
    Abstract: Compositions containing a nucleic acid nanostructure having a desired geometric shape and immunostimulatory agent(s) bound to its surface are provided. The nanostructures can be, for example, in the form of a 6-helix bundle, or icosahedron, or a pentagonal bipyramid. The nanostructure design allows for control of the relative position and/or stoichiometry of the immunostimulatory agent(s) bound to its surface. The immunostimulatory agent(s) displayed on the nanostructure surface are arranged with the preferred number, spacing, and 3D organization to elicit a robust immune response. The displayed antigen can be a TLR agonist, such as a TLR9 agonist. The immunostimulatory compositions may thus be useful as immunogens, vaccines, adjuvants, and the like. Methods of inducing immune responses, and for targeted induction of TLR activation are also provided.
