  • Publication number: 20240319712
    Abstract: Dynamic range aware conversion of sensor readings is described. A system includes one or more sensors to sense conditions of a component and output sensor readings and a system manager. The system manager is configured to convert the sensor readings into condition measurements by converting the sensor readings into the condition measurements using a first transformation while operating in a first conversion mode or converting the sensor readings into the condition measurements using a second transformation while operating in a second conversion mode. The system manager then adjusts operation of the component based on the condition measurements.

  • Patent number: 12038779
    Abstract: User configurable hardware settings for overclocking is described. In accordance with the described techniques, user input to adjust hardware settings for operating a processing unit in an overclocking mode is received. The user input, for example, adjusts at least one of a voltage droop threshold or a frequency adjustment of the clock rate. A voltage droop is detected while operating the processing unit in the overclocking mode. Responsive to detecting the voltage droop, a clock rate of the processing unit is adjusted based at least in part on the adjusted hardware settings.

  • Publication number: 20240047046
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with indicating physical progress of a clinician through patient locations are described. In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a workflow of locations of patients within a clinical care environment that a clinician is to visit on a schedule. The method includes sensing that the clinician is at a current location within the clinical care environment using a location sensor carried by the clinician. The method includes detecting that the current location corresponds to one of the locations in the workflow. The method includes, in response to the detection, generating in a display an indication of physical progress of the clinician through the workflow as of the current location.

  • Patent number: 11874870
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and user interfaces for generating a soundtrack using integrated live data from an information system. In this way, the audio presentation for an organization can be automated utilizing meaningful data that is converted into unique sounds based on defined criteria that results in an almost endless culmination of songs providing a story unique to the organization. To do so, data is aggregated from a number of sources (e.g., analytics data, network activity, and the like). The data is converted into observables that can influence the selection of a base track comprising a measure of notes. A soundtrack is generated by applying the observables to the base track, the observables causing changes in one or more of the measure of notes, scale, tonic, tempo, or volume of the soundtrack.

  • Patent number: 11817205
    Abstract: Systems and methods for employing virtual environmental augmentation in clinical care environments to enhance a clinician's in-the-moment knowledge, leverage past experiences of the clinician and others, and improve the quality of patient care are provided. Such virtual environmental augmentation may align with prior-established, evidence-based clinical processes and enhance the clinician's in-the-moment knowledge by extracting relevant data from one or more clinical sources and presenting a virtual representation of at least a portion of the extracted data (or a summary, exemplification, or interpretation thereof) in the clinician's field-of-view while the clinician is present in a clinical care environment and is utilizing an environmental augmentation device. Such environmental augmentation additionally may facilitate real-time documentation enabling more complete clinical records and ultimately improving the quality of patient care.

  • Patent number: 11471925
    Abstract: A multi-opening oven assembly for simultaneously heating a plurality of blanks, for example aluminum blanks, before forming the heated blanks in a production line is provided. The oven assembly includes vertically aligned shelves to present a plurality of chambers for heating the blanks. A table including an entry side platform and an exit side platform moves vertically along the oven assembly. A rail system extends along the platforms and the shelves to convey the blanks in and out of the chambers. Once one set of heated blanks is removed from a first chamber, the table moves vertically to a second chamber and is ready to receive the next set of heated blanks. A continuous supply of heated blanks is provided for high throughput. The oven assembly is preferably disposed in a press adjacent a forming station of an existing production line and thus, no additional floor space is required.
