  • Patent number: 10971257
    Abstract: Use of improved image acquisition for a medical dose preparation system. The medical dose preparation system may include a work station for capturing medical dose preparation images (e.g., to document preparation of a mediation dose). The medical dose preparation image may be captured by a video data stream processor capable of performing an auto cropping technique on a video data stream received from an image device. Accordingly, memory resources may be more efficiently employed while maintaining high quality medical dose preparation images.

  • Patent number: 10952891
    Abstract: A system for treating a subject can include an adjustable vacuum applicator configured to receive the subject's tissue by applying a vacuum. The vacuum applicator can have an cavity adjustment mechanism with different modes for widening and narrowing a tissue-receiving cavity to adjust the thermal contact between the vacuum applicator and the subject's tissue within the applicator. Sidewalls of the vacuum applicator can be moved to positive draft angle positions to help draw tissue deeper into the tissue-receiving cavity.

  • Patent number: 10948323
    Abstract: An electric measurement method and apparatus for detecting a mass by an electric capacity (permittivity) or a material's dielectric constant, or alternatively, electric inductance (permeability). The mass may be any phase or combination of phases. The mass may be stationary or flowing. It may comprise discrete particles such as grain, or manufactured products such as ball bearings or threaded fasteners, etc. The mass may be a flow element in a rotameter or similar flow measurement device. The sensor comprises a volume which may be completely full or only partially full of the material. The material may be discrete components or a continuum. Sensor signals may be received by existing planter monitoring systems. In some embodiments the flow sensors are positioned external to the application port. In some embodiments sensors may be utilized which are responsive to the refractive index variation of specific chemicals.

  • Publication number: 20210006534
    Abstract: A system provides for event-driven redirection of IP service flows and receives, by a DHCP server, an add event corresponding to a specified MAC address; provides a new DHCP lease for the specified address; transmits, by the DHCP server and to an Internet gateway, new instructions comprising one or more of a new IP address, subnet mask, and specified DNS servers; and, through DNS services and routing, redirects all network traffic originating from the Internet gateway to a specified destination. Some embodiments receive a remove event corresponding to the specified address; provide a second new DHCP lease for the specified address; transmit to an Internet gateway, second new instructions comprising one or more of a second new IP address, second subnet mask, and second specified DNS servers; and, through DNS services and routing, direct all network traffic originating from the Internet gateway back to unfettered, but monitored, Internet access.

  • Publication number: 20210006635
    Abstract: Embodiments for automated content delivery to high-speed data service client using redirection of IP service flows independent of physical media delivery mechanisms add, by a backend environment, an Internet gateway media access control (MAC) address to a content triggered service; send, by the backend environment, a request to a re-direct system for the Internet gateway MAC address to be added to a re-direct list; route, by the backend environment, all Internet traffic to the content playback system; display, by the content playback system, content to a subscribing user until a quota is achieved; and instruct the re-direct system to remove the Internet gateway MAC address from the re-direct list, thereby enabling user devices operatively coupled to the Internet gateway unfettered, monitored Internet access; set a usage threshold; and, in response to the usage threshold expiring, instruct the re-direct system to add the Internet gateway MAC address to the re-direct list.

  • Publication number: 20200408876
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smart device with an integrated radar system. The radar integrated circuit is positioned towards an upper-middle portion of a smart device to facilitate gesture recognition and reduce a false-alarm rate associated with other non-gesture related motions of a user. The radar integrated circuit is also positioned away from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antennas and a wireless charging receiver coil to reduce interference. The radar system operates in a low-power mode to reduce power consumption and facilitate mobile operation of the smart device. By limiting a footprint and power consumption of the radar system, the smart device can include other desirable features in a space-limited package (e.g., a camera, a fingerprint sensor, a display, and so forth).

  • Patent number: 10873224
    Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless power supply system in which a remote device is provided with different control methodologies depending on one or more factors. One type of wireless power supply can selectively control one or more remote devices according to a first control methodology and another type of wireless power supply can control the remote device according to a second control methodology. In one embodiment, a wireless power supply system is provided for wirelessly powering a display circuit in a product located at a point of display differently than when charging at a point of use, or when the device is in use. In another embodiment, a wireless power supply is programmed to operate a remote device according to a primary control methodology and the remote device is programmed to operate the remote device according to a secondary control methodology where the remote device includes circuitry for enabling the primary control methodology instead of the secondary control methodology.

  • Patent number: 10860760
    Abstract: Systems and methods are included for efficiently implementing learned parameter systems (LPSs) on a programmable integrated circuit (PIC) via a computing engine. The computing engine receives an input set of learned parameters corresponding to use instances of an LPS. The computing engine reduces at least some redundancies and/or unnecessary operations using instance specific parameter values of the LPS, to generate a less redundant set of learned parameters and a corresponding less redundant LPS. The computing engine generates a netlist based on these, which may share computing resources of the PIC across multiple computations in accordance with the less redundant set of learned parameters and the corresponding less redundant LPS. The computing engine then programs the PIC with the netlist. That is, the netlist replaces use instances of at least some of the original learned parameters and its corresponding LPS and is executed instead of the original.
