Publication number: 20240064083Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards latency diagnostics for multiparty systems, such as a system comprising a communication network, a content delivery network (CDN), and one or more internet service providers (ISPs). A latency analyzer component can process latency data in response to a latency diagnostic trigger, such as an alert from a video quality monitoring system. The latency analyzer can determine whether latency is attributable to the communication network. If not, the latency analyzer can determine whether the latency is attributable to the CDN. If the latency is not attributable to the communication network or the CDN, the latency analyzer can determine that the latency is attributable to the ISP, and the latency analyzer can identify the ISP and generate appropriate reports and notifications.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Xiaowen Mang, Carolyn Johnson, Gregory Smith

Publication number: 20180172707Abstract: A method for the diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, or a predisposition towards Type 1 diabetes, or to monitor the efficacy of a therapy to prevent or treat Type 1 diabetes, said method comprising contacting a sample from a subject with a reagent selected from Tetraspanin-7 or a fragment, or a modified form thereof, and detecting an interaction indicative of the presence of an autoimmune response to Tetraspanin-7. Tetraspanin-7 is now understood to be the protein recognised by Glima 38 specific antibodies. Reagents and kits for use in the method and therapies associated with these form further aspects of the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2016Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Michael CHRISTIE, Kerry MCLAUGHLIN, Carolyn JOHNSON, Aarthi RAVISHANKAR

Publication number: 20160206316Abstract: Innovative and effective snap connector for sutureless vascular anastomosis is disclosed. The jas is made of material that can be absorbed by the human body which promotes faster and more effective healing, has three simple and easy to use parts, and takes on average less than two minutes to assemble. Use of the jas is effective at obtaining a proper seal, reducing potential complications that can arise from long operation times or more complicated application systems, reduces time in surgery, and reduces time for patient's to heal post-surgery.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2015Publication date: July 21, 2016Inventors: Cameron L. Johnson, Carolyn Johnson, Adam Leffler

Patent number: 9251727Abstract: A product display apparatus is provided. The display has a forward face with at least one display element disposed thereon. The display element is activated in some way upon receiving power. An inductive receiving coil is located on a flap that is below the forward face. This inductive receiving coil receives power from an inductive transmission coil located in proximity to the display apparatus. The receiving coil provides power to the display element when the coil is in proximity to the transmission coil. This power is used to activate the display element, such as by, for example, illuminating it.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: Caleb Browning, Carolyn Johnson, Leroy B. Johnson, Lynda Locke, Jason B. Turner

Patent number: 8910801Abstract: A product positioning apparatus for use on display shelves is provided. The system has a track with opposed sides, and a front portion that houses an inductive transmission coil. A product pusher is coupled to the track, and is guided down the track along the sides. The pusher has an inductive receiving coil in it, that provides power to a display element on the front face of the pusher, when the receiving coil is in proximity to the transmission coil within the track. The system also includes a biasing element that biases the pusher to the front of the track. A forward stop element is coupled directly in front of the track, and stops products on the track at the front of the shelf.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: L & P Property Management CompanyInventors: Carolyn Johnson, Leroy B. Johnson, Robert S. Old

Publication number: 20050059933Abstract: A catheter assembly is disclosed including a needle, a container, a tubular body, and a pair of tabs. The container includes a chamber adapted to receive the needle and a mechanism adjacent an opening. The mechanism is adapted for engaging an end of the needle and for moving the needle into the chamber when activated. The tubular body has opposed catheter and connection ends. The catheter end is adapted for insertion into a vein and has a channel adapted to receive the needle. The connection end is removably attached to the opening of the container and is adapted for connection to a fluid transfer device. The pair of tabs extend outwardly from opposite sides of the body adjacent the catheter.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2004Publication date: March 17, 2005Inventor: Carolyn Johnson

Publication number: 20040050391Abstract: The Leg Assist Device will make future medical procedures and needs safer and more user friendly. With the use of this simple device the medical field will be able to insert urinary foley catheters without the risk of patients bending their legs and contaminating the sterile field, thus cutting down risk for infection significantly. With the use of our device it will also lessen the need for staffing in this procedure since the bar holds the legs in place, thus no need for the two additional staff members to be performing this old job.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2002Publication date: March 18, 2004Inventors: Debra Kiwala, Carolyn Johnson
