  • Patent number: 11941413
    Abstract: At a managed control plane service, end-user application programming interfaces (APIs) of an application to be implemented at a provider network are determined. A set of common operational requirements of the application, to be fulfilled without obtaining program code for the requirements, are identified. In response to an invocation of an end-user API of the application, computations are performed at a resource selected by the managed control plane service, and one or more tasks to satisfy a common operational requirement are initiated by the managed control plane service.

  • Patent number: 11596360
    Abstract: A system for collecting data for assessment of cardiovascular function includes a plurality of monitoring devices coupled to different respective body parts. Each monitoring device is configured to measure a respective signal at the respective body part in response to cardiovascular activity. The respective signal includes a cardiovascular component attributable to the cardiovascular activity and an artifact component not attributable to the cardiovascular activity. When the monitoring devices measure the respective signals simultaneously over a same time period, the cardiovascular components are correlated, and the artifact components are not correlated.

  • Patent number: 11583185
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting the flow of blood or other fluids in biological tissue by illuminating the biological tissue with two or more beams of coherent light and detecting responsively emitted light. A difference in wavelength, coherence length, beam divergence, or some other property of the beams of illumination causes the beams to preferentially scatter from, be absorbed by, or otherwise interact with respective elements of the biological tissue. Flow properties in one or more regions of the biological tissue (e.g., a region with which both beams of light preferentially interact, a region with which only one of the beams preferentially interacts) could be determined based on detected responsively emitted light from the biological tissue. Variations in speckle patterns over time and/or space, Doppler shifts, or some other properties of the detected light could be used to determine the flow properties.

  • Patent number: 11504842
    Abstract: The collapsible sawhorse comprises a cross tie, a first vertical support member, and a second vertical support member. The collapsible sawhorse may be a sawhorse that separates and collapses for transportation and storage. When assembled, the collapsible sawhorse may be used to elevate and support a project. The collapsible sawhorse may be used in pairs to elevate both ends of the project. As non-limiting examples, the project may be a construction material such as a board to be sawed, a temporary work surface such as a sheet of plywood, or a tool such as a chop saw. The collapsible sawhorse may be fastenerless in that the collapsible sawhorse may be assembled and disassembled without using tools.

  • Patent number: 11456053
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, can be implemented to perform certain actions. The actions can include maintaining biological data related to multiple biological systems in a first format in a data repository, receiving a first selection of a biological system of the multiple biological systems for constructing a model that simulates a behavior of the biological system, retrieving a subset of data of the biological data that is associated with the first selection of the biological system, receiving a second selection of a modeling technique of the multiple modeling techniques for constructing the model, compiling the subset of biological data into configuration data of a second format that is specific to the modeling technique and that is different from the first format, and generating the model using the modeling technique and the configuration data.

  • Patent number: 10871503
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting the depth, flow rate, and other properties of regions of blood flow in biological tissue by illuminating the biological tissue with beams of coherent light and detecting responsively emitted light. This includes detecting lights emitted from the tissue having a plurality of respective different exposure times. The relationship between the intensity of the received light and the exposure times is determined and used to determine the depth, flow velocity, or other properties of regions of flow within the biological tissue. This can include determining a spatial and/or temporal contrast of the received light intensity. Determining the depth of a region of flow can include comparing determined properties of light received from the tissue at two different polarizations. Determining the depth of a region of flow can include comparing determined properties of light received from the tissue at two different locations.
