  • Publication number: 20250028777
    Abstract: A method for analyzing Web content includes constructing an accessibility-related values graph for Web content including multiple User Interface (UI) components and associated attributes. The accessibility-related values graph includes (i) values derived from at least some of the attributes of the UI components, and (ii) interrelations defined between the values. On-going validation of the Web content is performed, including, in response to detecting a change occurring in the Web content (i) updating the accessibility-related values graph to reflect the change, (ii) identifying a subset of the values of the accessibility-related values graph that have been affected by the change, and (iii) executing, on the subset of values affected by the change, one or more validity tests t validate compliance of the Web content with a defined accessibility specification.

  • Publication number: 20230240542
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a patient's foot forms a thermogram of the sole of at least one foot of the patient, and determines whether the thermogram presents at least one of a plurality of prescribed patterns. The method also compares the thermogram against a prior thermogram of the same foot, and produces output information indicating the emergence of an ulcer on a given portion on the at least one foot as a function of 1) whether the thermogram is determined to present the at least one pattern, and 2) the comparison with the prior thermogram, which shows non-ulcerated tissue at the given location.

  • Publication number: 20220211277
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for evaluating emergence of an ulcer each uses at least one temperature detection modality to form a first thermogram and a second thermogram of the sole of at least one foot. Each thermogram forms a substantially continuous set of two-dimensional temperature values across the sole of the (at least one) foot. The thermograms have features; namely, the first thermogram has first features and the second thermogram has second features. The method and apparatus thus control a device to apply at least one transformation to the first and second thermograms to align the first features with corresponding second features, and determine, at any thermogram location, if at least one of the thermograms presents one of a plurality of patterns indicative of inflammation. Finally, the method and apparatus each produce output information indicating the result of the determination of whether the thermograms present one of the plurality of patterns.

  • Patent number: 10705629
    Abstract: A system is provided that includes a display or other support surface to which a repositionable control device may be removably mounted. The display may emit light. The repositionable control device may be a repositionable knob that has light sensors. The display may be directed to emit the light in a predetermined time-varying search pattern while the light sensors make measurements of the emitted light. The repositionable knob may wirelessly transmit the light sensor measurements to control circuitry associated with the display. The control circuitry may process the light sensor measurements or other sensor measurements to determine the location of the repositionable control device on the display. Visible tick marks or other scale information may be displayed around the periphery of the knob. An electromagnetic actuator may provide adjustable detents. Wireless power may be received by the knob.

  • Publication number: 20160004991
    Abstract: Delivering sales training videos includes matching content attributes of the sales training videos data stored at the customer relationship management (CRM) system. Matched sales training videos are sent to one or more remote devices for playback. User-specified feedback data is received from the one or more remote devices. The user-specified feedback data indicates a particular object stored in the CRM system. Upon detection of an advancement of a stage of the particular object, at least one content attribute of the particular sales training video is updated. Future recommendations of sales training videos consider the updated content attribute.
