Patent number: 11978436Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. For example, an intelligent automated assistant obtains a static vocabulary entry for an application and registers the static vocabulary entry to a knowledge base. While the application is running, the intelligent automated assistant receives a request from the application to register a dynamic vocabulary entry, and also registers the dynamic vocabulary entry. Upon receiving a user input, the intelligent automated assistant determines whether a matching vocabulary entry for the application has been registered and causes the application to perform a task based on the matching vocabulary entry.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Lewis N. Perkins, Pierre Belin, Deniz Dizman, Kevin D. Pitolin

Publication number: 20240016632Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method including positioning a first guidewire within a primary guidewire lumen of a multi-lumen tapered tip. A second guidewire is positioned within a secondary guidewire lumen and a shared guidewire lumen of the multi-lumen tapered tip, the second guidewire preventing the first guidewire from entering the shared guidewire lumen. A delivery system including the multi-lumen tapered tip is advanced over the second guidewire. By advancing the delivery system over a single guidewire, any possibility of entanglement of multiple guidewires during advancement of the delivery system is eliminated. The method further includes a guidewire exchange including releasing the second guidewire from the shared guidewire lumen, advancing the first guidewire through and out of the shared guidewire lumen, and advancing the delivery system over the first guidewire to a deployment location.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Manthan P. PATEL, Keith D. PERKINS, Robert J. MURRAY, III, Steven M. CLAESSENS, Haley M. KING, Nrupen N. ZAVER

Publication number: 20230157762Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for implementing an intelligent assistance (“IA”) or extended intelligence (“EI”) ecosystem for soft tissue luminal applications. In various embodiments, a computing system analyzes first layer input data (indicating movement, position, and/or relative distance for a person(s) and object(s) in a room) and second layer input data. The second layer input data includes sensor and/or imaging data of a patient. Based on the analysis, the computing system generates one or more recommendations for guiding a medical professional in navigating a surgical device(s) with respect to one or more soft tissue luminal portions of the patient. The recommendation(s) include at least one mapped guide toward, in, and/or around the one or more soft tissue luminal portions. The mapped guide can include data corresponding to at least three dimensions, e.g., a 3D image/video. The computing system can present the recommendation(s) as image-based output, using a user experience device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: May 25, 2023Inventors: Peter N. Braido, Randal C. Schulhauser, Niall F. Duffy, Julie A. Benton, Zhongping Yang, Richard J. O'Brien, Walton W. Baxter, Roy A. Wilsker, Tal Davidson, William C. Harding, Max L. Balter, Joseph D.

Publication number: 20230117928Abstract: Systems and methods for determining movement of a robot are provided. A computing system of the robot receives information including an initial state of the robot and a goal state of the robot. The computing system determines, using nonlinear optimization, a candidate trajectory for the robot to move from the initial state to the goal state. The computing system determines whether the candidate trajectory is feasible. If the candidate trajectory is feasible, the computing system provides the candidate trajectory to a motion control module of the robot. If the candidate trajectory is not feasible, the computing system determines, using nonlinear optimization, a different candidate trajectory for the robot to move from the initial state to the goal state, the nonlinear optimization using one or more changed parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2021Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: Boston Dynamics, Inc.Inventors: C. Dario Bellicoso, Logan W. Tutt, Neil M. Neville, Alexander D. Perkins

Publication number: 20220265417Abstract: A stent-graft prosthesis includes a graft material having a tubular construction, a frame coupled to the graft material, and a port or opening disposed between a proximal end and a distal end of the graft material. The port or opening is open during deployment of the stent-graft prosthesis to enable blood flow from a graft lumen within the graft material to exit the graft lumen, and the port or opening is blocked upon full deployment of the stent-graft prosthesis to prevent blood flow from within the graft lumen from exiting the graft lumen through the port or opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2021Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: Ian Benjamin Baranowski, Tessa Bronez, Keith D. Perkins

Patent number: 10969166Abstract: A cooler insert for placement into a portable hard cooler or ice chest for separating sandwiches, lunch meats, cheese, vegetables, and the like, and drinks from the materials used to cool these items, is described. Many commercially available portable coolers have rectangular-shaped cooling volumes with at least two of the opposing walls forming a horizontal ledge inside the cooling volume parallel to and below the opening thereof upon which the present cooler insert is supported. The present cooler insert includes three adjacent chambers, a first chamber for containing food items to be cooled, a second chamber for containing clean ice for use for cooling drinks; and a third chamber, having cylindrically-shaped compartments tapered toward the bottom, for holding cans or bottles. Bottom portions of the first two chambers may be formed using aluminum or other conductive metal plates covered with plastic, or using uncoated metal plates for improving conduction to the cooler insert from the cooler.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Inventor: Eugene D.

Publication number: 20210026437Abstract: This application relates to techniques that adjust the sleep states of a computing device based on proximity detection and predicted user activity. Proximity detection procedures can be used to determine a proximity between the computing device and a remote computing device coupled to the user. Based on these proximity detection procedures, the computing device can either correspondingly increase or decrease the amount power supplied to the various components during either a low-power sleep state or a high-power sleep state. Additionally, historical user activity data gathered on the computing device can be used to predict when the user will likely use the computing device. Based on the gathered historical user activity, deep sleep signals and light sleep signals can be issued at a time when the computing device is placed within a sleep state which can cause it to immediately enter either a low-power sleep state or a high-power sleep state.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Varaprasad V. LINGUTLA, Kartik R. VENKATRAMAN, Cyril de la CROPTE de CHANTERAC, Bob BRADLEY, Marc J. KROCHMAL, Matthew D. PERKINS, Christopher S. LINN, Akshay MANGALAM SRIVATSA
