Abstract: A contact lens having a cap, core, and base forming three layers to allow for the contact lens to be thick enough to accommodate a payload, while ensuring sufficient oxygenation of the wearer's eye. The cap and base are each a thin layer of gas-permeable material, each shaped to form an air gap between them and the core. The two air gaps are connected by air passages that traverse the core. Oxygen from an outside environment passes through the gas-permeable cap to reach the outer air gap, through the air passages to the inner air gap, and through the gas-permeable base to reach the cornea of the wearer's eye. The cap may be annular in form, having a center hole such that the cap does not extend over the central zone of the core, reducing a thickness of the contact lens.

Abstract: A system for on-dispatch identification and assignment of unresolved tasks. The system includes an electronic processor configured to detect that a responder unit is dispatched to respond to a first incident and, in response, correlate extracted information corresponding to the first incident with information that is stored corresponding to a plurality of unresolved tasks and identify, based on the correlation and a responder unit profile associated with the dispatched responder unit, at least one unresolved task. The electronic processor is also configured to, in response to identifying the at least one unresolved task, either cause a notification to be provided at a dispatch computer, the notification identifying a recommendation to assign the at least one unresolved task to the dispatched responder unit or automatically assign the at least one unresolved task to the dispatched responder unit and notify a communication device associated with the dispatched responder unit regarding the assignment.

Abstract: A workflow project design system, method, and apparatus are disclosed. An example method includes creating a mapping between an executable version of an object-orientated process and an un-executable version of the object-orientated process. The method also includes transmitting the un-executable version of the object-orientated process and a toolset file to a client device for display in a web browser. The method further includes receiving from the client device a modify instruction to modify at least one of attributes or properties of the un-executable version of the object-orientated process and updating the executable version of the object-orientated process based on the modify instruction. Additionally, the method includes receiving an execution instruction to execute the workflow project, executing the updated executable version of the object-orientated process to generate a result of the workflow project, and transmitting to the client device the result for display within the user interface.

Abstract: This is directed to controlling the output of audio based on the mode of an electronic device. In particular, this is directed to an electronic device having a sound mode, silent mode, and mute mode controlling the output of audio along different audio output routes. In the sound mode, all audio can be output, while only registered or authorized audio can be output in the silent mode. In the mute mode, no audio can be output. The sound and silent modes can be enabled using an interface of the device (e.g., a switch having two possible states), while the mute mode can be enabled using an accessory coupled to the device. To disengage the mute mode, a user can provide a corresponding instruction using the accessory, or providing an instruction on the device related to volume control. For example, a user can change the device volume using an on-device interface, or toggle a sound/silent switch to a sound mode.

Abstract: A computer apparatus, such as a validator node, for validating incident-related data records in a distributed electronic ledger is configured to receive a request from an agent to add a proposed incident-related data record associated with an incident to the distributed electronic ledger. In response to the proposed incident-related data record, the computer apparatus determines, from the distributed electronic ledger, one or more attributes of the agent or incident. The computer apparatus determines whether the proposed incident-related data record satisfies validation criteria based at least partially on the one or more attributes of the agent or incident. Once validated, the computer apparatus may then append the proposed incident-related data record to the distributed electronic ledger. Alternatively, the proposed incident-related data record may be appended regardless of validity, but an indication of validity may be appended if the proposed incident-related data record is validated.

Abstract: A secure element device for use in a connected device includes a first interface configured to enable communication with a communication module and a second interface configured to enable communication with an action module of the connected device. A processor coupled to the first interface and the second interface, executes a first set of computer-readable instructions, stored in a memory of the secure element device, to authenticate, via the first interface, the connected device on the communication network. The processor also executes a second set of computer-readable instructions, stored in the memory, to perform one or both of (i) obtaining, via the second interface, data from the action module, the data to be transmitted over the communication network and (ii) controlling, via the second interface, the action module to cause the action module to perform one or more operations based on an instruction received over the communication network.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide various examples of monitoring adverse events in the background while displaying a higher-resolution surgical video on a lower-resolution display device. In one aspect, a process for detecting adverse events during a surgical procedure can begin by receiving a surgical video. The process then displays a first portion of the video images of the surgical video on a screen to assist a surgeon performing the surgical procedure. While displaying the first portion of the video images, the process uses a set of deep-learning models to monitor a second portion of the video images not being displayed on the screen, wherein each deep-learning model is constructed to detect a given adverse event among a set of adverse events. In response to detecting an adverse event in the second portion of the video images, the process notifies the surgeon of the detected adverse event to prompt an appropriate action.
