  • Patent number: 11932292
    Abstract: A system is provided that may include a first communication controller that may communicate with a vehicle system formed from two or more vehicles. The first communication controller may operate in different modes, including a first mode to control movement of the vehicle system without repeating any control signals communicated between the vehicles, and in a second mode to monitor different frequencies for receipt of the control signals, receive and repeat a first control signal of the control signals at a first frequency, and receive and repeats a second control signal of the control signals at a second frequency. The first communication controller may also operate in a third mode in which the first communication controller may monitor the first frequency but not the second frequency for the first control signal, receives the first control signal at the first frequency, and repeats the first control signal at the first frequency.

  • Patent number: 10867208
    Abstract: A high content analysis computing system, computer program product and method provides receiving two or more sets of microscopic images of respective sites of selected biological cell assay. Each set of microscopic images comprises one or more images having an aggregate field of view sufficient to encompass all of the cells within the respective site and a resolution sufficient to image cellular bodies within each of encompassed cells. For each set of microscopic images, a library of algorithms is executed that evaluate image features for each cell in each site producing a quantified feature measurement for each cell. Quantified feature measurements are compared for each one of the two or more sets of microscopic images. A subset of the library of algorithms is identified that discriminate at least two of the two sets or more microscopic images and deployed as a computer program product for evaluating additional biological cell assays.

  • Publication number: 20150095245
    Abstract: An Information technology (IT) company supplies a hardware service, a software service, and a bandwidth service for a client company so that a compliance posture of the client company can be completed. The IT company maintains the supplied compliance posture for a duration of a designated time period and then conducts a period evaluation for the client company. Then the IT company is able to identify at least inefficiency about the client company from the period evaluation so that the IT company is able to address the at least one inefficiency with a solution plan as the solution plan is implemented through an execution procedure. As a result, the IT company is able to improve the compliance posture of the client company through the solution plan.

  • Publication number: 20150079560
    Abstract: A wearable signal acquisition and computerized display device including at least one first sensor configured to measure at least one of the following attributes from a subject wearing the device: attention, focus, concentration, alertness, and mood. The device has a heads-up display or goggles, glasses, or another head piece having lenses. The measurement is derived from the subject's brainwaves by use of one or more algorithms. The subject wearing the device receives neurofeedback data based on this measurement through the projected image to train them how to control attention, mood, etc. and improve understanding as to how various external stimuli in the real world or virtual world impact these attributes. In one variation the sensors measure brainwave signals at two positions of the subject and use the difference in these measurements to derive an attention indicator signal used to provide neurofeedback.
