  • Patent number: 11875259
    Abstract: Provided is a system and methodology which enhances the readability of barcodes using machine learning techniques wherein a model is trained using exemplary data and the resulting model is used in production to increase the chances of successfully capturing the data in a barcode notwithstanding that the barcode may be of low quality. According to the teachings of the present invention, the system is trained using large quantities of synthetic personal information associated with barcodes. Once the system is placed into production, the trained model is applied as against newly identified barcodes to enhance the readability of the original barcode based on features associated with the trained model.

  • Publication number: 20220365518
    Abstract: A method of developing a product is provided that includes generating a digital system model (DSM) that describes the product and a manufacturing process for the product, and generating a digital twin (DTw) of an instance of a component of the manufacturing process, the DTw including a digital replica of the instance. The method includes receiving attribute data for attributes of process/process characteristics subject to sources of variation that affect product quality. The digital replica is executed with input of the attribute data, and thereby updating the DTw to replicate the instance of the component of the manufacturing process as performed. A data analysis of the manufacturing process is performed based on the DTw as updated, and the manufacturing process is modified based on the data analysis to reduce variability in one or more product characteristics. The DTws of multiple instances may be used to generate further improvement.

  • Patent number: 11020055
    Abstract: A system for monitoring the health and safety of recumbent individuals. In some embodiments, the bed monitor system comprises a wired or wireless sensor mat which may be positioned upon a bed mattress and underneath a bedsheet. Multiple RFID tag sensors embedded within the sensor mat can detect physical, bodily, and environmental attributes and transmit this information to a controller box for further processing. Turn regiment, prohibited body positions, imminent fall danger, and bed occupancy may therefore be tracked and updated accordingly. In some embodiments, the system can dynamically generate positional images of a body proximate to the sensor mat in order to identify adverse conditions requiring attention. Incontinence discharges can also be detected by sensors and algorithms which can differentiate urinary from fecal incontinence events. Various embodiments of the system are portable, allowing for a rapid set-up within hospital venues and within other care facilities.

  • Patent number: 10251793
    Abstract: A system comprises a series of passive RFID tag sensors each embedded on top of its own matching antenna inside a flexible substrate. The sensors are driven by a controller-transceiver. The controller-transceiver sends RF signals through an antenna to each RFID tag sensor and receives data transmitted back from the same sensors. Sensors are embedded in a flexible substrate positioned under an unaltered incontinence absorbent pad and juxtaposed to derive further information. Multiple sensors provide sensing of physical-environmental data in addition to moisture. The controller makes intelligent and positive incontinence determinations by relating data to profiles indicative of correlation to incontinence conditions.

  • Patent number: 9649230
    Abstract: A system for monitoring patient incontinence. A sensor module is positioned next to an impermeable layer of absorbent pad used for urinary or other incontinence. A wired embodiment has the sensor module wired to an external controller. In the wireless embodiment, a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag includes an antenna, moisture sensor, and radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC). A rewritable memory is included in the RFIC to record identifying information associated with the patient. The identifying information is programmed in the RFID tag when it is in the range of an RFID writer. A controller-transceiver in this intelligent underpad monitor system provides excitation energy to operate the RFID tag. The controller-transceiver constantly interrogates the RFID tag to detect any incontinence alarm signal. When incontinence happens, the alarm signal is sent to the controller-transceiver along with user information in the RFID tag memory.

  • Patent number: 8189547
    Abstract: A self-configuration method for access devices in a wireless network begins by performing wireless data collection with the access devices during an automated calibration period. During this time, each access device receives beacons from one or more transmitting access devices, the beacons being transmitted and received using a plurality of different channels available to the wireless network. The method records radio frequency (RF) data associated with the received beacons, and processes the RF data to select, from the plurality of different channels, a respective channel for each of the access devices. In addition, the RF data is processed to adjust transmit power levels for the access devices. The selected channels and adjusted transmit power levels are then used as configuration settings for the access devices.
