  • Patent number: 12708445
    Abstract: Mobile virtual reality system for simulation, training or demonstration of a surgical robotic system can include a virtual reality processor. The processor can generate a virtual surgical robot and render the virtual surgical robot on a display. The virtual surgical robot can include a virtual surgical tool. A handheld user input device (UID) can sense a hand input from a hand. A foot input device can sense a foot input from a foot. The virtual reality processor can be configured to control a movement or action of the virtual surgical robot based on the hand input, and change which of the virtual surgical instruments is controlled by the one or more handheld UIDs based on the foot input. Other embodiments and aspects are disclosed and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20260157663
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for processing, transmitting, and displaying data received from continuous analyte sensor, such as a glucose sensor. In some embodiments, the continuous analyte sensor system comprises a sensor electronics module that includes power saving features. One feature includes a low power measurement circuit that can be switched between a measurement mode and a low power mode, in which charging circuitry continues to apply power to electrodes of a sensor during the low power mode. In addition, the sensor electronics module can be switched between in a low power storage mode higher power operational mode via a switch. The switch can include a reed switch or optical switch, for example. A validation routine can also be implemented to ensure an interrupt signal sent from the switch is valid.

  • Patent number: 12430594
    Abstract: A device, system and method for electronically implementing corrective actions based on keep-separate attributes is provided. A keep-separate attribute associated with respective inmate profiles is generated using electronic data indicative of monitoring inmates. Schedule data, associated with the inmate profiles, which violates the keep-separate attribute within a given time period, is modified using the keep-separate attribute, to indicate a physical separation between the inmates. The keep-separate attribute and/or modification of the schedule data occurs via one or more machine-learning algorithms. The modified schedule data is stored and/or a notification of the modified schedule data is transmitted, to one or more communication devices, to instruct one or more correctional officers to physically separate the inmates within the given time period.
