Patent number: 11938990Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, a mobile apparatus for identifying items. For instance, the mobile apparatus may include a frame, a basket that attaches to the frame, a tray that attaches to the frame, and a user-facing module that attaches to the frame. Weight sensors may be located beneath the basket and the tray in order to determine the weights of items added to the mobile apparatus. The user-facing module may include imaging devices, such as cameras, that the mobile apparatus uses to perform one or more functions. For example, the mobile apparatus may use the imaging devices to identify items placed within the basket, determine locations of the mobile apparatus within a facility, and/or the like. By including these components, the mobile apparatus is able to generate data that represents the items added to the mobile apparatus, the weights of the items, and the costs of the items.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Wade Burch, Robert David Serra, Matthew Clark Webster, Jacob A Siegel, Brendan Kyle McLeod, Jacob Paul Warren, Sridharan Thirumalai Vasu

Publication number: 20220379002Abstract: Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy systems, apparatuses, and methods for operating the systems and apparatuses are disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a negative pressure source, a connector port, at least one switch, and a controller. The negative pressure source is connected through the connector port to either (i) a wound dressing having a canister configured to store fluid aspirated from the wound or (ii) a wound dressing without a canister between the connector port and the wound dressing. The controller determines, based on a signal received from the at least one switch, whether the canister is positioned in the fluid flow path and adjusts one or more operational parameters of negative pressure wound therapy based on the determination. The switch is activated by the connection of either the canister or canisterless wound dressing to the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Ben Alan Askem, Anthony Jonathan Bedford, Kevin Bendele, Ali Khishdoost Borazjani, Nicola Brandolini, Ian Charles Culverhouse, Otteh Edubio, James Maxwell Eelbeck, Matt Ekman, Matthew Keith Fordham, Philip Gowans, Michael James Hayers, Mark Richard Hesketh, James Daniel Homes, Allan Kenneth Frazer Grugeon Hunt, Mark Edward Jones, William Kelbie, Reece Knight, David Mcleod, Nisha Mistry, Samuel John Mortimer, Fatoona Mosa, Matthew Murphy, Michael Paton, Neil Harry Patrick, Louis della-Porta, Felix Clarence Quintanar, Lee Michael Rush, Carl Dean Saxby, Daniel Lee Steward, Catherine Thaddeus, Simon Tyson, David Ronald Upton, William Jacob Ward, Nicholas Warrington, Hannah Bailey Weedon

Patent number: 8704863Abstract: Transitioning between an audio only circuit switched call and a video call. A client device, which is currently connected to one or more other client devices through an established audio only circuit switched call, receives input from a user to transition from the audio only circuit switched call to the video call. A video call invitation message is transmitted to the other client devices. The client device receives a video call accept message from the other client devices and begins transmitting video captured by its front facing camera to the other client devices. Responsive to receiving at least a video frame from each of the one or more other client devices, the client device transitions from the audio only circuit switched call to the video call. After transitioning to the video call, the circuit switched call is dropped.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2010Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Justin Santamaria, David McLeod, Jeremy Brown
