  • Publication number: 20240190606
    Abstract: A packaging box blank and packaging box configured from the packaging box blank enables a shipper to package substantially planar articles for shipment and includes a base box portion, a pair of opposed side wall flap portions, and a pair of opposed top flap portions. The side wall flap portions extend from laterally opposed side wall attachment portions and the top flap portions extend from top flap attachment portions. The side wall flap portions are firstly folded to cover opposed lateral portions of a substantially planar article received in anterior adjacency to the base box portion. The top flap portions are secondly folded to cover opposed longitudinal portions of the article thereby enclosing the article for shipment. Particularly configured top and bottom corner extensions absorb impact at corners of the packaging box for providing damage resistance thereto as shipped articles move through package delivery systems.

  • Publication number: 20240188904
    Abstract: Certain embodiments provide a system that generates and presents contemporaneous insight notifications on a display device. The contemporaneous insight notifications are based on measured analyte data provided by a sensor device worn by a user. The insight notifications help the user determine why analyte level fluctuations may be contemporaneously occurring, such as how the user's recent meals, activities, etc., may have impacted the user's measured analyte concentration levels.

  • Publication number: 20240168897
    Abstract: If a first group selection setting is set to TRUE, an NVM Express (NVMe) processor sends a first set of NVMe status information that includes a transfer data end event. If a second group selection setting is set to TRUE, the NVMe processor sends a second set of NVMe status information that includes an NVMe error event. A firmware functional module sends firmware status information. The aggregation module aggregates and timestamps the first and second sets of NVMe status information, if any, and the firmware status information to obtain a timestamped and aggregated message stream that is output by an interface. The timestamped and aggregated message stream enables a visualization system to analyze the NVMe processor and the firmware functional module. The NVMe processor, firmware functional module, aggregation module, and interface are in a storage controller, implemented on a system on chip (SOC), that manages a storage medium.

  • Publication number: 20240157426
    Abstract: A forming tool has an upper portion composed of an upper forming die arranged between a first clamping element and a second clamping element, and a lower portion composed of a lower forming die arranged between a third clamping element and a fourth clamping element. The first clamping element and the third clamping element cooperate to exert a first clamping force on a workpiece; and the second clamping element and the fourth clamping element cooperate to exert a second clamping force on the workpiece. The upper forming die cooperates with the first and second clamping elements and the lower forming die cooperates with the third and fourth clamping elements to exert a lateral force on the workpiece when the first and second clamping forces are being exerted on the workpiece and when a vertical compressive force is being exerted upon the upper forming die and the lower forming die.

  • Patent number: 11969209
    Abstract: End user interactions at a display are monitored for predetermined conditions to provide augmentation of display presentation by a red light that illuminates in the 650 to 800 nm range, such as at substantially 670 nm. Instructions stored in non-transient memory and executed on a processor present visual images of varied color contrast and evaluate end user inputs to determine an end user visual acuity. Over time and use of the display and red light, end user visual acuity is periodically tested to evaluate the effectiveness of red light illumination to restore visual acuity.

  • Publication number: 20240122712
    Abstract: Apparatus, for use at a valve of a heart of a subject, includes a first catheter, a second catheter, and a translation element. The translation element is connected to, and operatively joins, the distal ends of the first catheter and the second catheter. The translation element is operable to translate the distal ends laterally with respect to each other to transition the apparatus between (i) a first state in which the distal ends are held next to each other for transluminal advancement to the heart, and (ii) a second state in which the distal ends are spaced apart from each other for positioning at a first location on the annulus and a second location on the annulus, respectively. The apparatus is configured to, while in the second state, from the distal ends, anchor a first tissue anchor at the first location, and a second tissue anchor at the second location.

  • Patent number: 11949222
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for time aligning electric power system measurements at an intelligent electronic device (IED) using samples and sample time offset from merging units. The merging units do not require access to a common time signal. The IED does not require storage of a communication latency with the merging units. The sample time offset corresponds to a latency between obtaining the sample and receipt of the sample at the IED. The IED aligns samples from various merging units using sample time offset values communicated from the merging units to the IED. The IED performs monitoring and protection functions using the time aligned samples.
