Patent number: 12290662Abstract: Infusion pumps and associated methods for delivering medicament to a user during error conditions. An infusion pump can include a sensor, a pumping mechanism to deliver medicament through an infusion set to the user, and a processor operably coupled to the sensor and the pumping mechanism. The processor can be configured to receive an indication from the sensor of an error condition, and continue operating the pumping mechanism to deliver a predetermined quantity of medicament without correcting the error condition. The predetermined quantity can be based at least in part on a characteristic of the infusion set.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2024Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignee: ICU Medical, Inc.Inventors: Grant Adams, James Drost, Ryan Heilman

Patent number: 11503189Abstract: A camera includes a lens, an image sensor, and a display. The lens and the image sensor are configured to capture images. The display may include an array of lights that are selectively illuminable to display the graphics. The lights may be arranged in a grid with each of the lights forming a pixel of the display. The display is hidden from view when not illuminated and displays graphics when illuminated. The camera may include a body that hides the display from view when not illuminated and permits light from the display to pass therethrough when illuminated. The body may include an elastomeric, light-permeable outer layer through which light from the display passes. The body may have a first side having the lens and on which the display displays the graphics. The camera may include a second display on a second side of the body facing opposite the first side.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2019Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Yui, Clark Weber, John George Muhlenkamp, IV, Huy Phuong Nguyen, Grant Adam McCauley

Patent number: 11379095Abstract: An image capture device may include a display for presenting controls. The controls may be used by a user to operate the image capture device in capturing visual content. A control customization interface may include interface feature(s) that enables selection of one or more selectable controls for inclusion in a set of controls. Based on user interaction with the control customization interface, the set of controls may be determined and presented on the display.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventor: Grant Adam McCauley

Patent number: 11375121Abstract: A camera includes an image sensor, a display, and a controller. The controller operates the image sensor to record a video recording and operates the display to display a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface includes an elapsed time indicator that increases in length as time elapses to form a border around the display.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventor: Grant Adam McCauley

Patent number: 11310432Abstract: An image capture device may buffer video footage in a memory buffer before a command to record video is received. The image capture device may present a progression of color along a path to reflect the amount of buffered video footage. When the command to record the video is received, the video may be generated to include both buffered video footage and the video footage captured after the command.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Grant Adam McCauley, Michael Adkins Knott

Publication number: 20220080110Abstract: An infusion pump includes a pumping mechanism having at least one sensor and a pump motor and a pump control subsystem configured to control operation of the pumping mechanism, the pump control subsystem including a processor, a memory, and a startup module configured to drive the pump motor at a first rate, receive input from the at least one sensor, and drive the pump motor at a second rate based on the input received from the at least one sensor. Startup algorithms command an infusion pump to reach a targeted delivery rate or steady state in minimal time without requiring priming of the pump line or otherwise engaging in known methods of pump startup analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Grant Adams, William Rossi, Jim Drost, Eric Wilkowske, Larry Zalesky, Taylor Dowden, Jacob Wander, Beth Kregel, Sean Riley

Patent number: 11212481Abstract: An image capture device may capture visual content using a capture setting. A machine-readable optical code conveying the capture setting may be generated. The machine-readable optical code may convey the capture setting such that an image capture device capturing an image including the machine-readable optical code: (1) identifies the machine-readable optical code within the image; (2) determines the capture setting conveyed by the machine-readable optical code; and (3) stores the capture setting for use in visual content capture. A graphical user interface may enable a user to associate the machine-readable optical code with the visual content. The association of the machine-readable optical code with the visual content may cause subsequent presentation of the visual content to include presentation of the machine-readable optical code.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2021Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventor: Grant Adam McCauley

Publication number: 20210339052Abstract: There is presented a removable high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) transducer and supporting system that allows for HIFU transducer assemblies and other therapeutic ultrasound assemblies to be attached to third party positioning, imaging, or guidance systems while maintaining the required focal-zone positioning ability and the required acoustic energy coupling to tissue, to mechanically or automatically ablate a target volume in unimpeded fashion. There is provided an acoustically transparent and pliable vessel that has an open top end and filled with acoustic coupling fluid, capable of holding the transducer assembly and distal end of the positioning system within it as it executes the HIFU treatment plan/process. The vessel is held in place using a transducer/positioning system and independent external fixturing mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Inventors: Ralf Seip, Mark Carol, Ron Hadani, Yosef Krespi, Grant Adam Morris, Joshua Huff
