  • Publication number: 20260001000
    Abstract: A modular multi-system gaming console can be configurable for use in conjunction with expansion consoles (also referred to as expansion modules, expansion units, and/or element modules herein) as a gaming console emulator and/or for use as an audio/video converter (e.g., an up-converter), data recorder, or streaming device. Further, the modular multi-system gaming console can evoke the original gaming experience of a game played on original hardware. A modular multi-system gaming console can provide a consistent platform for display, content management, statistical storage and analysis (e.g., high scores, fastest speed runs, etc.), and live streaming and other services (including core services described herein) across a multitude of gaming console platforms. A modular multi-system gaming console can also provide a more authentic game experience via active cartridge reading.

  • Publication number: 20250366762
    Abstract: An example implantable medical device includes a plurality of electrodes; and circuitry configured to: sense, via at least two electrodes, electrical signals from a patient; generate a first physiological electrical signal during a first period of time at a first bandwidth and a first sampling rate; determine whether a particular feature of the first physiological electrical signal satisfies a health event high definition (HD) sensing threshold; and in response to a determination that a particular feature of the first physiological electrical signal satisfies a health event HD sensing threshold, generate a second physiological electrical signal during a second period of time at one or more of a second bandwidth or a second sampling rate, wherein the second period of time is after the first period of time, the second bandwidth is greater than the first bandwidth, and the second sampling rate is greater than the first sampling rate.

  • Publication number: 20230221625
    Abstract: Provided is an attachment system for coupling a mobile computing device to an optic device. The optic device may be, but is not limited to a scope, binoculars or the like. The attachment system operates with attachment devices and mounting device with apertures that provide a means to couple a mobile computing device to the optic device in such a way that the attachment system provides a line-of-sight between a camera of the mobile computing device with the lens of the optic device. This allows the camera of the mobile computing device to capture images and video using the high power zoom functionality of the optic device and the convenience of the mobile computing device.

  • Patent number: 11426647
    Abstract: Splitboard binding systems including a binding that may be attached to either a left or right gliding board in a ski mode or to both gliding boards in a snowboard mode. The binding includes left and right bottom rails attached to the bottom surface of a base plate, which define channels for slidable attachment to “pucks” disposed on the gliding board in snowboard mode. Each rail has a circular bore at a forward end for attachment to a counterpart pivot pin on a ski mode toe bracket in a ski mode by a sideways movement. A securing lever is disposed on an upper surface of the toe bracket. When the securing lever is rotated into a securing position, an end of the securing lever prevents removal of the pivot pin from the rail bore. Rotating the securing lever to a removal position allows the binding to be removed.

  • Patent number: 10109516
    Abstract: A method for operating a material handling system including an overhead rack defining a plurality of storage positions, first and second side rails disposed above the overhead rack, a first cross rail movably coupled to the first and second side rails, and a first transport vehicle movably coupled to the first cross rail includes positioning the first transport vehicle above at least one interior window defined in the overhead rack. At least a portion of the first transport vehicle is descended through the interior window to interface with a first load port of a first tool disposed below the overhead rack. The first transport vehicle is positioned above at least one periphery window defined in the overhead rack. At least a portion of the first transport vehicle is descended through the periphery window to interface with a second load port of a second tool disposed below the overhead rack.

  • Patent number: 9479785
    Abstract: Techniques for a compressed image with alpha channel data are described. Encoded alpha channel data from a compressed image representation may be extracted. A common type pixel run characteristic may be determined for at least one common type pixel run represented in the encoded alpha channel data. A common alpha channel value is applied, based on the common type pixel run characteristic, to pixels in a decompressed image representation correlated to the at least one common type pixel run. Pixels in the decompressed image representation correlating to at least one lookup type pixel run represented in the encoded alpha channel data may be processed. The processing may include a determination of an alpha channel value based on pixel data, specific to a pixel correlated to the lookup type pixel run, in the encoded alpha channel data and an application of the alpha channel value to the pixel.
