Patent number: 11925589Abstract: A litter lift system includes a winch system and a lifting strap. The winch system includes a rotatable spool. The lifting strap has a first end, a second end, and an intermediate segment extending away from the lifting strap between the first end and the second end. The first end is coupled to the rotatable spool such that rotation of the spool in a first direction winds the lifting strap about the spool and rotation of the spool in a second direction unwinds the lifting strap from the spool. The second end defines a first lifting segment and the intermediate segment defines a second lifting segment. The first lifting segment and the second lifting segment are each forked to define two separate lifting loops.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Gregory Malcolm, Matthew Vetting, Rodney Miller

Publication number: 20240079112Abstract: The subject technology provides a framework for generating physiological predictions for a user of an electronic device. The physiological predictions may include user-specific predictions of a heartrate, a heartrate range, a number of steps, a number of calories, or other physiological conditions or aspects that may occur if the user engages in a future activity, such as a future workout. The physiological predictions may be generated by a machine learning model that incorporates a physiological state equation, and that generates, and utilizes, a user-specific embedding, along with user-agnostic parameters of the future activity, to make the predictions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Andrew MILLER, Gregory DARNELL, Guillermo R.
