  • Patent number: 10841381
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring a premises are described. A touchscreen device may receive data from a security system that comprises a sensor, a video camera, or other devices. The touchscreen device determines one or more actions to perform by analyzing the data. The touchscreen device may determine to output, via a user interface, a message associated with the data. The message may comprise an indication of video associated with the data. If user input requesting the video is received, then video associated with the data may be output to a user.

  • Publication number: 20200352689
    Abstract: A dental pick logger and counter is described. In some examples, a dental pick logger and counter can include a microcontroller unit and a sensor, wherein the sensor, upon detecting a dental pick, can trigger the dental pick logger and counter to update a dental pick log by incrementing an existing dental pick count and recording the date/time of each detection. The dental pick logger and counter can also include a display to present the updated dental pick count. The dental pick logger and counter can further include a speaker/buzzer, a battery, and mounting hardware. The display and the speaker can provide feedback to a user of the dental pick. In some examples, the microcontroller unit can be enabled to send the updated dental pick count over a network using a messaging protocol and connected to a global positioning system (GPS) to track a location of the dental pick logger and counter in some implementations.

  • Patent number: 10834463
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for recommending content restrictions to a user based on chatter in a social network of the user. The system analyzes chatter in the social network to identify a correlation between what is posted by users and the content that the users are posting about. The system stores a mapping between chatter and expected attributes of the content referenced by the chatter. The system will determine whether to block the content when an expected attribute is associated with a content restriction.

  • Publication number: 20200339109
    Abstract: In various examples, sensor data recorded in the real-world may be leveraged to generate transformed, additional, sensor data to test one or more functions of a vehicle—such as a function of an AEB, CMW, LDW, ALC, or ACC system. Sensor data recorded by the sensors may be augmented, transformed, or otherwise updated to represent sensor data corresponding to state information defined by a simulation test profile for testing the vehicle function(s). Once a set of test data has been generated, the test data may be processed by a system of the vehicle to determine the efficacy of the system with respect to any number of test criteria. As a result, a test set including additional or alternative instances of sensor data may be generated from real-world recorded sensor data to test a vehicle in a variety of test scenarios—including those that may be too dangerous to test in the real-world.

  • Patent number: 10809213
    Abstract: A sensor for measuring thermal conductivity includes an insulator, a test material over the insulator, a conductor over the test material, and a gas within an open volume adjacent the test material and the conductor. An electrical source is configured to provide an alternating current through the conductor to heat the test material. Leads are connected to the conductor and configured to connect to a voltmeter. A method of measuring thermal conductivity includes disposing the sensor in a reactor core in which a nuclear fuel undergoes irradiation and radioactive decay. An alternating current is provided from the electrical source through the conductor to heat the test material. A voltage is measured as a function of time at the leads connected to the conductor. A thermal conductivity of the test material is calculated based on the voltage measured as a function of time. Methods of forming a sensor are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10799137
    Abstract: A system for facilitating a cardiac rhythm disorder diagnosis with the aid of a digital computer is provided. A download station retrieves cutaneous action potentials of a patient recorded over a time by an ECG device as ECG data. An R-R interval plot of the ECG data includes R-R intervals plotted along an x-axis of the plot and heart rates associated with the R-R intervals plotted along a y-axis. The R-R intervals are calculated as a difference between recording times of successive pairs of R-wave peaks. Each heart rate is associated with each time difference. One or more portions of the R-R intervals are identified in the plot. Each portion of the R-R intervals includes a cardiac event. Report strips are generated and each includes one portion of the R-R intervals and a portion of the ECG data. The report strips are included in a cardiac report for the patient.

  • Publication number: 20200302920
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for providing media guidance. Control circuitry may receive a first voice input and access a database of topics to identify a first topic associated with the first voice input. A user interface may generate a first response to the first voice input, and subsequent to generating the first response, the control circuitry may receive a second voice input. The control circuitry may determine a match between the second voice input and an interruption input such as a period of silence or a keyword or a phrase, such as “Ahh,”, “Umm,”, or “Hmm.” The user interface may generate a second response that is associated with a second topic related to the first topic. By interrupting the conversation and changing the subject from time to time, media guidance systems can appear to be more intelligent and human.
