  • Publication number: 20220101989
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are included for a providing a customized medical treatment. An example method can include receiving, at a medical system, patient data associated with a patient; detecting, at the medical system, a health condition of the patient based on the patient data associated with the patient; comparing, at the medical system, the patient data and the health condition of the patient with similar health conditions of a general population; determining, at the medical system, whether the health condition of the patient is actionable based on the comparing of the patient data and the health condition of the patient with the similar health conditions of the general population; and providing, by the medical system, a customized medical treatment plan to the patient based on the determining of whether the health condition of the patient is actionable.

  • Patent number: 11181626
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to laser range finders. In one embodiment, a shallow-trench isolation diode operates in a reverse-biased mode. In another embodiment, a poly-defined diode operates in a forward-biased mode. In both embodiments, the diode emits photons in response to a radio frequency current, and the photons are received by an avalanche photo diode during a calibration process.

  • Patent number: 10874024
    Abstract: A system or structure subject to external mechanical dynamic loading excitations propagated within the system or structure comprising a fluid filled structure and a fluid volume operable to facilitate fluid flow about at least part of the structure. Excitations within the structure can be propagated throughout. The system can further comprise a tuned mass damper (TMD) located within the fluid volume. The TMD can leverage the viscous properties of the fluid to attenuate the excitations within the structure. The TMD can comprise a mass and a spring operably connected to the mass. The TMD can further comprise a fluid resistance facilitating fluid flow about the mass and the spring for damping and a secondary tuning device operably connected to at least one of the mass and the spring and the supporting fluid-filled structure.

  • Patent number: 10872763
    Abstract: Processing methods may be performed to produce semiconductor structures that may include a high-k dielectric material. The methods may include delivering a nitrogen-containing precursor or an oxygen-containing precursor to a substrate contained in a semiconductor processing chamber. The methods may include forming reactive ligands on an exposed surface of the substrate with the nitrogen-containing precursor or the oxygen-containing precursor. The methods may also include forming a high-k dielectric material overlying the substrate.

  • Patent number: 10834376
    Abstract: The invention relates to capturing a still or moving image as well as object position and displacement data for the image, storing the image and the data as a dimension extractable object, and utilizing the dimension extractable object. In one embodiment, the dimension extractable object is used in a method of stitching a plurality of images together to form a stitched image. In another embodiment, the dimension extractable object is used in a method of generating a stitched image from a video image. In another embodiment, the dimension extractable object is used in a method of generating a three-dimensional model from a video image.

  • Publication number: 20190327211
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving from an initiating user a request for information of a target user, accessing information associated with the initiating user comprising one or more attributes, determining whether the initiating user is permitted to access information related to the target user based on privacy settings of the target user, wherein the privacy settings require the initiating user attributes to satisfy one or more social, spatiotemporal, geographic, or temporal conditions, and blocking the initiating user from accessing information of the target user in response to determining that the initiating user does not fulfill the requirements of the privacy settings of the target user.

  • Patent number: 10451715
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure use an “on chip” silicon LED to generate a light signal for calibration of a range finder. The light signal from the silicon LED may be detected by photo detectors in a reference path and a receive path of the range finder to generate a calibration phase offset, which may be subtracted out from a phase offset measurement of the range finder to correct the phase offset measurement for component mismatch due to, for example, environment, process variation, aging, etc.
