  • Publication number: 20240129262
    Abstract: A system for delivering notification messages across different notification media comprises a processor. A processor is configured to provide an indication of a new platform notification channel to one or more platform notification services. The indication is provided to one of the one or more platform notification services through a communication module specific to the one of the one or more platform notification services. The processor is configured to create a mapping from a new universal notification channel to a set of one or more platform notification channel identifiers. Each platform notification channel identifier of the set of platform notification channel identifiers is received from a platform notification service. The processor is configured to provide the set of one or more platform notification channel identifiers to a content provider of the new universal notification channel. The processor is coupled to the memory and is configured to store instructions.

  • Patent number: 11938067
    Abstract: A patient containment system for securing a patient to a patient transport apparatus, comprising a first lower strap and a second lower strap. Each of the first lower strap and the second lower strap have a thigh region, a waist region, and a connection region arranged between the thigh region and the waist region. A first connector is coupled to the connection region of the first lower strap. A second connector is coupled to the connection region of the second lower strap, and is configured to releasably attach to the first connector to at least partially limit movement of the first lower strap relative to the second lower strap. The connection region defines a connection width, and the thigh region defines a thigh width larger than the connection width.

  • Patent number: 11930243
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that enables game play or other application sessions from a set of candidate game hosts and environments to consumption devices of a user's choice while the user moves about their home between the different environments. The system may employ methods to determine where a user is located within the home, availability and selection of candidate game hosting and target environments, homing and direction of related I/O and audio-visual (AV) content for consumption. The solution accommodates multiple users simultaneously within the home, whether in single player, multiplayer using the same screen, or multiplayer using separate screen games. The solution may configure AV and input/output (I/O) such that multiple users can consume one or multiple games in the home simultaneously, whether in separate locations or when seated together in front of the same consumption device.
