Publication number: 20240119820Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a condition associated with an individual in a home environment are provided. Sensors associated with the home environment detect data, which is captured and analyzed by a local or remote processor to identify the condition. In some instances, the sensors are configured to capture data indicative of electricity use by devices associated with the home environment, including, e.g., which devices are using electricity, what date/time electricity is used by each device, how long each device uses electricity, and/or the power source for the electricity used by each device. The processor analyzes the captured data to identify any abnormalities or anomalies, and, based upon any identified abnormalities or anomalies, the processor determines a condition (e.g., a medical condition) associated with an individual in the home environment. The processor generates and transmits a notification indicating the condition associated with the individual to a caregiver of the individual.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Aaron Williams, Joseph Robert Brannan, Chris Kawakita, Dana C.

Publication number: 20230147921Abstract: A configurable printing bed for a 3D printer includes a bed surface and linear actuators. The bed surface includes bed surface portions. Each of the bed surface portions is supported for independent movement. At least one of the bed surface portions includes a head that is twistable. When each of the bed surface portions is positioned at a reference level, the bed surface portions form different parts of a common plane. Each of the linear actuators is connected to at least one of the bed surface portions, respectively. The linear actuators are configured to generate the independent movement of the bed surface portions and to effect positioning of the bed surface portions. The linear actuators are configured to lower the bed surface portions in a staggered manner so that a release wave is generated and used to remove a 3D printed object from the printing bed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2023Publication date: May 11, 2023Inventors: Hamish C.

Publication number: 20220391613Abstract: In an approach for determining the date of planting of a crop growing in an agricultural field, a processor receives an aerial image of one or more agricultural fields in a pre-determined geographical region. A processor selects a plurality of points from the aerial image. A processor calculates a Vegetation Index of one or more crops growing at the plurality of points selected. A processor compares the Vegetation Index calculated for the one or more crops growing at the plurality of points selected to the Vegetation Index known for a plurality of historical reference signatures. A processor generates an actual signature. A processor cross-correlates the actual signature against the plurality of historical reference signatures to measure a degree of similarity. A processor identifies the one or more crops growing in the one or more agricultural fields in the pre-determined geographical region from the cross-correlation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2021Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Charles Daniel Wolfson, KEVIN BROWN, David Alec Selby, Hamish C.
