  • Publication number: 20240168813
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for visualizing a run of a workflow on a GUI. The techniques include: (a) rendering an origin node of the workflow at a central position and an innermost ring therearound; (b) adding to the first ring, independent nodes representing respective tasks invoked by the workflow that are not dependent on any other task in order of invocation in a distributed manner, together with edges drawn from the origin node to respective added independent nodes; (c) rendering one or more outer rings around the innermost ring; and (d) adding to each of the outer rings, dependent nodes representing respective tasks invoked by the workflow that are dependent on another task represented by another node on another ring closer to the origin node in order of invocation in a distributed manner together with edges drawn to each added dependent node from all nodes representing tasks upon which the respective task represented by that dependent node is dependent.

  • Publication number: 20240160396
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to a head-mounted base system that allows a user to remove a display portion from a base portion thereof. According to some examples, the user captures video data via a head-mounted display (HMD) or other head mounted computing device. This head mounted computing device comprises a wearable system which allows the user to perform tasks and capture video data by the HMD simultaneously. It is desired that the user or technician be able to view video data provided to the HMD hands-free. The user may be able to attach an auxiliary display system which self-aligns with the head-mounted base system. When the auxiliary display system attaches to the head-mounted base system, a wireless connection capable of transmitting video is established allowing the user to attach and remove the auxiliary display system easily and without disrupting a video recording device.

  • Publication number: 20240163506
    Abstract: Embodiments can cause a media capturing device and a carrier device to establish a communication session there between so that the media capturing device can receive hotspot credentials and connect to a hotspot of the carrier device for Internet connectivity. The media capturing device can then connect to a remote streaming server via the hotspot, causing the creation of a media stream associated with a unique identifier of the media capturing device at a streaming server. The streaming server can return a URL associated with the media stream of the media capturing device to the carrier device, so that the carrier device can access, view, control, or share the media stream with other computing devices.

  • Patent number: 11974646
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a holder including a first surface, a second surface, a body portion in between the first surface and the second surface, and a protrusion. The first surface is configured to be coupled to a mounting surface. A magnet is disposed within the body such that a portion of the second surface is magnetically attractable to a first portion of an article. The protrusion is configured to engage a second portion of the article. The article being removably coupled to the holder when the first portion of the article is magnetically coupled against the portion of the second surface and the second portion of the article is engaged with the protrusion.

  • Publication number: 20240123123
    Abstract: A tubing component, and methods of forming, for a particulate material delivery assembly including a particulate delivery device to deliver a mixed particulate solution to a patient. The tubing component includes a material including a material density, and a determined thickness sufficient to shield a delivery line connector of a particulate delivery device from at least 90% of a radiation dose. The delivery line connector is configured to receive the mixed particulate solution from the particulate delivery device of the particulate material delivery assembly, and the determined thickness of the tubing component is calculated based on the material density to achieve shielding of the delivery line connector by the material of at least 90% of the radiation dose. The tubing component includes an integral wall of the delivery line connector, an outer sleeve configured to be removably disposed about the delivery line connector, or combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 11953678
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and structures for aberration correction of optical phased arrays that employ a corrective optical path difference (OPD) in the near-field of an OPA to correct or cancel out aberrations in emitted beams of the OPA including those reaching far-field distances by generating a spatially-varying OPD across the aperture of the OPA that is substantially equal and opposite to an equivalent OPD of the aberration(s).

  • Publication number: 20240082518
    Abstract: Apparatus for generating a supply of air at positive pressure for the amelioration or treatment of a respiratory disorder includes a first chamber, a second chamber, at least one inlet tube structured and configured to allow ambient air to enter the first chamber, at least one flow tube structured and configured to allow air to pass from the first chamber to the second chamber, and a blower structured and configured to produce a flow of air at positive pressure. The blower is positioned in the first chamber and structured and configured to receive air from the second chamber. The blower includes a housing structured and configured to sealingly separate air flow through an interior of the housing from the first chamber. The at least one inlet tube is axially spaced from the at least one flow tube.

  • Patent number: 11854218
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for detecting terrain variations within a field includes receiving one or more images depicting an imaged portion of an agricultural field. The method also includes classifying a portion of the plurality of pixels that are associated with soil within the imaged portion of the agricultural field as soil pixels with each soil pixel being associated with a respective pixel height. Additionally, the method includes identifying each soil pixel having a pixel height that exceeds a height threshold as a candidate ridge pixel and each soil pixel having a pixel height that is less than a depth threshold as a candidate valley pixel. The method further includes determining whether a ridge or a valley is present within the imaged portion of the agricultural field based at least in part on the candidate ridge pixels or the candidate valley pixels.

  • Patent number: 11698975
    Abstract: A distributed data storage system can have an attestation module that is connected to the data storage device to disconnect the device from a distributed data storage network or prevent the data storage device from being initialized into the distributed data storage network. A first security evaluation of the data storage device can be conducted with the attestation module to verify an authenticity of the data storage device. The attestation module may then disconnect the network controller from the distributed data storage network and verify an authenticity of the network controller to allow the network controller and data storage device to service a data access request from a host of the distributed data storage network.
