  • Patent number: 11971256
    Abstract: A guided cold-atom inertial sensor system comprises an atom trap integrated platform, a laser system, a magnetic field system, a control system, and a computing system. The laser system and magnetic field system are adapted to form a magneto-optical trap (MOT) about a suspended waveguide of the atom trap integrated platform made of membrane integrated photonics. After loading cold atoms from a MOT, the photonic atom trap integrated platform generates one-dimensional guided atoms with an evanescent field optical dipole trap (EF-ODT) along the optical waveguide to create guided atomic accelerometers/gyroscopes. Motion of atomic wavepackets in a superposition state is created along the guided atom geometry by way of state-dependent momentum kicks. The light-pulse sequence of guided atom interferometry splits, redirects, and recombines atomic wavepackets, which allows measurement of atom interference fringes sensitive to inertial forces via a probe laser.

  • Patent number: 11953204
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for a controller for a fuel oil burner system that controls a fuel oil burner to perform intermittent ON cycles. In one example, a controller includes a memory configured to store a value for one or more burner control delay periods and a processor. The processor is configured to perform an auto-set procedure in a first ON cycle. The auto-set procedure includes detecting an oil valve in the fuel oil burner; determining that the value for a burner control delay period is a default value; and in response, storing a valve-present value as the value for the burner control delay period in the memory.

  • Patent number: 11948680
    Abstract: Systems and methods include a cardiac device advisory management platform to receive and distribute data related to advisory notification(s) for an implanted cardiac device. Advisory notification data includes a device identifier and/or a lead identifier corresponding to the advisory notification. Upon receiving the advisory notification data, the clinic matches the device identifier and/or the lead identifier with patient data for patients enrolled with the clinic. One or more action indicators for various workflow procedures are generated and presented at a clinic user interface (UI) of the clinic device. Clinician inputs are received via the clinic UI to perform steps in response to the advisory notification, such as reviewing patient information, scheduling an in-office visit, and/or sending a notification to a patient device. A clinic behavior analysis is performed on the clinician inputs to generate information regarding the impact of the advisory notifications on the clinic workflow procedures.

  • Patent number: 11929164
    Abstract: Systems and methods for visually displaying instances of increased susceptibility for commission of medical errors are provided. Execution of programming instructions on a computer-readable medium causes a processor to retrieve historical workload data corresponding to environmental conditions experienced by and near misses associated with an individual or team of individuals during a first period of time from one or more data repositories. Retrieved workload data is processed to establish threshold limits for distinct working conditions represented within the workload data for the individual or team of individuals. Workload data corresponding to a second period of time is retrieved for the individual or team of individuals and compared to established threshold limits by the processor. Based on the comparison, the processor generates one or more displayable indicia indicative of the individual's or team of individuals' risk of committing a medical error due to an experienced workload.
