  • Publication number: 20220040824
    Abstract: A jig for assembling a cabinet is disclosed. The jig includes a clamp assembly pivotally attached to a base. The clamp assembly includes a first jaw and a second jaw configured to apply a clamping force therebetween. The clamp assembly can pivot between a first position and a first inclined position. In the first position, a front support plate of the clamp assembly is oriented vertically, and in the first inclined position, a first angle less than 90 degrees is formed between the front support plate and a support surface on which the base rests. The clamp assembly may also pivot to a second inclined position at which a second angle less than the first angle is formed between the front support plate and the support surface.

  • Patent number: 11191896
    Abstract: Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of alerting a user associated with an infusion device delivering fluid to the body of the user involves obtaining a measurement value for a physiological condition being influenced by the fluid, obtaining a current amount of active fluid in the body of the user, determining a homeostasis metric based at least in part on the current amount of active fluid and the measurement value for the physiological condition, and generating an alert based at least in part on the homeostasis metric.

  • Patent number: 11115599
    Abstract: A computer system automatically corrects a view of an image capture device. A view of an image capture device is adjusted by applying one or more modifications selected from a group of: a zoom modification, a pan modification, and a tilt modification, wherein the view is displayed at a client device during a viewing session and the one or more modifications are indicated by the client device. One or more corrective operations are applied to the adjusted view based on user input, wherein the one or more corrective operations include a rotational operation to correct the adjusted view. Subsequent operations based on the one or more corrective operations are applied during a subsequent viewing session with corresponding view settings. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for automatically correcting a view of an image capture device in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Publication number: 20210111472
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for vertically transitioning signals between substrate integrated waveguides within a multilayered printed circuit board (PCB) are disclosed. A first substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is provided in a first layer of the PCB, the first SIW having a first terminal portion. A second SIW is provided in a second layer of the PCB, the second SIW having a second terminal portion that overlaps with the first terminal portion, wherein a first ground plane separates the first SIW and the second SIW. A vertical transition comprising an aperture in the first ground plane that is disposed in an area defined by the overlap of the first terminal portion and the second terminal portion, such that a signal propagated in the first SIW transitions to the second SIW in a different layer through the aperture.

  • Publication number: 20210112655
    Abstract: A printed circuit board (‘PCB’) including a substrate integrated waveguide (‘SIW’) formed using two ground planes representing the top and bottom walls of the waveguide, tightly pitched ground vias to act as two side walls and two back walls, and a pair of monopole antennas placed at each end of the SIW acting as signal feeding/receiving structures is disclosed. The waveguide dominant mode cut off frequency is determined by the spacing between the two side walls. Within each monopole antenna pair, the first monopole antenna operates at a first frequency while the second monopole antenna operates at another frequency. For each monopole antenna pair, the first monopole antenna and the second monopole antenna are located in the SIW at a distance from the back wall optimal for each operating frequency.
