Publication number: 20250161649Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a luer connector comprising relatively movable components to facilitate fluid flow therethrough. In some embodiments, a male luer tip supported by the housing can be configured to rotate with respect to the housing. In some embodiments, at least one of the luer tip and the internal member can be axially moveable between a first closed position and a second open position relative to the other of the luer tip and the internal member. Further, the luer tip and the internal member can cooperate such that rotation of the luer tip in a first direction relative to the housing increases an axial displacement between the first open end of the luer tip and an end portion of the internal member.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2025Publication date: May 22, 2025Inventors: Thomas F. Fangrow, Bruce Hubrecht, Harold Anderson, Christopher Lopez

Publication number: 20250137561Abstract: A fluid adaptor, comprising a funnel adaptor having a first open end and a second open end, the first open end having a greater diameter than the second open end, a plurality of annular protrusions disposed on an inner surface of the funnel adaptor and arranged between the first open end and the second open end, each of the plurality of annular protrusions having a radius, the radii decreasing from the first open end to the second open end, and an extension tube extending from and integral to the second open end. In some embodiments of the funnel adaptor, an elongated tube may removably and frictionally engage the second open end. In other embodiments, each adjacent pair of the plurality of annular protrusions forms an annular channel therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2024Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: Keneth Lopez, Christopher Lopez, Jacob Scott MORRISE

Patent number: 12280230Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a luer connector comprising a housing having a hollow bore therethrough, a first end, and a second end, a male luer tip supported by the housing configured to rotate with respect to the housing, the luer tip having a first open end and a passageway through the luer tip in fluid communication with the first open end, and a substantially rigid internal member extending into the passageway of the luer tip toward the first open end of the luer tip. In some embodiments, at least one of the luer tip and the internal member can be axially moveable between a first closed position and a second open position relative to the other of the luer tip and the internal member. Further, the luer tip and the internal member can cooperate such that rotation of the luer tip in a first direction relative to the housing increases an axial displacement between the first open end of the luer tip and an end portion of the internal member.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2022Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: ICU Medical, Inc.Inventors: Thomas F.

Patent number: 12265221Abstract: Head-mounted augmented reality (AR) devices can track pose of a wearer's head to provide a three-dimensional virtual representation of objects in the wearer's environment. An electromagnetic (EM) tracking system can track head or body pose. A handheld user input device can include an EM emitter that generates an EM field, and the head-mounted AR device can include an EM sensor that senses the EM field. EM information from the sensor can be analyzed to determine location and/or orientation of the sensor and thereby the wearer's pose. The EM emitter and sensor may utilize time division multiplexing (TDM) or dynamic frequency tuning to operate at multiple frequencies. Voltage gain control may be implemented in the transmitter, rather than the sensor, allowing smaller and lighter weight sensor designs. The EM sensor can implement noise cancellation to reduce the level of EM interference generated by nearby audio speakers.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: MAGIC LEAP, INC.Inventors: Brian Bucknor, Christopher Lopez, Michael Janusz Woods, Aly H. M. Aly, James William Palmer, Evan Francis Rynk

Patent number: 11255693Abstract: Technologies for intelligent traffic optimization include a directional flow server that receives dynamic traffic data from traffic infrastructure devices in a monitored region. The traffic data may include traffic volume data and traffic control status data. The server updates a dynamic layer of a high-definition map based on the dynamic traffic data. The high-definition map also includes a static layer and a directional flow layer. The server optimizes the directional flow in response to updating the dynamic layer. The directional flow layer is indicative of traffic direction associated with roads in the monitored region. The server may optimize each of several sub-regions and then optimize connection roads between the regions. The server may distribute the optimized directional flow layer to consumers such as traffic control devices, autonomous vehicles, and other subscribing devices. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Mehrnaz Khodam Hazrati, Ignacio Alvarez, Domingo Gonzalez, Christopher Lopez-Araiza

Patent number: 10936903Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for collecting annotation data via a gamified user interface in a vehicle control system. According to an embodiment disclosed herein, the vehicle control system detects a trigger to initiate an annotation prompt associated with an object classified from an image. The vehicle control system presents, via a user interface, the annotation prompt. The vehicle control system receives, via the user interface, user input indicative of a response to the annotation prompt by a user and updates a confidence score associated with the classified object as a function of one or more metrics associated with the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Domingo Gonzalez, Ignacio J.
