  • Publication number: 20240165839
    Abstract: The invention describes an apparatus for separating a two-ply film web which can first be wound up at a winding point, wherein the two plies of the film web are first joined to one another via two side edges, wherein the apparatus comprises as features at least one and preferably two lengthwise slitting units, with which a lengthwise slit can be made into a first of the two plies of the two-ply film web, which are at a distance from side edges, so that the one ply is narrower than the two-ply film web, and at least one pressing element, which can be moved in the orthogonal direction of the plane defined by the two-ply film web, wherein the two plies of the two-ply film web can be spaced apart from one another, and which can be moved in the plane of the two-ply film web, but perpendicular to its longitudinal direction, so that the pressing element can be guided between the two plies of the two-ply film web.

  • Patent number: 11822371
    Abstract: A term base can be used to index a raw medical term (e.g., a text string from an electronic health record) to generate a computational expression of the raw medical term. The computational expression of the raw medical term can be used to generate a uniform medical term for the raw medical term. The computational expression can be compared with other computational expressions to organize the electronic health record, filter the electronic health record, and provide a uniform presentation of raw medical terms from different events in the electronic health record.

  • Publication number: 20230366700
    Abstract: Third-party overlay data that includes customized graphics such as animations may be rendered on a base map using a hardware-accelerated framework. When third-party overlay data is deemed incompatible with a first version of a base map, features of the base map may be flexed to better accommodate the overlay data.

  • Patent number: 11798682
    Abstract: An electrosurgical system includes: an electrosurgical supply device, and an electrosurgical instrument, wherein the electrosurgical instrument includes a memory element which can be read out by the electrosurgical supply device when the electrosurgical instrument is connected to the electrosurgical supply device, and configuration data is stored on the memory element, which can be evaluated by the electrosurgical supply device in order to configure operating parameters which are compatible with the electrosurgical instrument. The electrosurgical system is characterized in that the configuration data is arranged in a flexible data structure which allows the memory element to simultaneously store multiple sets of configuration data which can be read and evaluated by different types of electrosurgical supply devices.

  • Publication number: 20230320605
    Abstract: An example technique may include tracking motion of a user wearing the wearable device using at least first sensors of one or more sensors of the wearable device. The technique may also include tracking a physical state of the user using at least second sensors of the one or more sensors of the wearable device. The technique may also include determining whether an application of the wearable device has been launched. The technique may also include determining an action category of the user based at least in part on at least one of the motion of the user, the physical state of the user, or whether the application has been launched. The technique may also include collecting heartrate data of the user. The technique may also include categorizing the heartrate data based at least in part on the determined action category.

  • Publication number: 20230289387
    Abstract: A user device can be used to generate medical term expressions, which represent medical terms of a health record. The user device can identify a medical concept present in the health record based on a medical term expression. The user device can generate a node in a personalized relational graph that corresponds to the medical concept. One or more sub-nodes can be added to the node. Responsive to a request, a user interface is presented that identifies the medical concept and some of the additional information.

  • Patent number: 11690522
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for tracking heartrate metrics using different operating modes associated with different contexts of a wearable device. For example, a heartrate sensor of the wearable device may be operated in a first operating mode when an activity is being tracked within an application session of a particular application. The heartrate sensor may be operated in a second operating mode after detecting conclusion of the activity within the activity session (e.g., during sedentary time).

  • Patent number: 11653324
    Abstract: A location control subsystem is provided that allows a user of an electronic device to define the granularity used to provide location coarseness. A user can define a coarse location granularity for an application. When a coarse device location is reported to an application, the location can be provided with at least a minimum degree of variable specificity based on the selected location coarseness. When an application is granted a coarse location, the application is to interpret the provided location indicating that the user may be anywhere within a geographic region of variable specificity, as opposed to being close to a center point with a horizontal accuracy based on the precision of the location fix, as when a fine granularity location is provided. In addition to reducing the spatial resolution of the location that is reported to the application, the temporal resolution may also be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11489178
    Abstract: A method for determining the starting state of a fuel-cell system is provided having cathode and anode chambers separated by a membrane-electrode assembly, comprising the steps of initially introducing hydrogen into the anode chamber, measuring the voltage and evaluating whether at least a threshold value has been reached immediately after the start of the introduction of hydrogen into the anode chamber, and determining the starting state as a function of whether the threshold value has been reached.
