Publication number: 20240095645Abstract: A method of generating customizable goal representation is disclosed. A request from a user to view a goal representation is received. A flexible goal ontology is accessed that comprises one or more goal entities, one or more goal relationships between the goal entities, or one or more goal properties, the one or more goal properties including one or more metadata attributes relating to the one or more goal entities. A set of mapping rules is obtained that defines mappings between one or more goals. The set of mapping rules is evaluated to assemble a customized goal representation tailored to the user. The customized goal representation is updated based on a revaluation of the mapping rules affected by changes to the one or more goal entities, the one or more goal relationships, or the one or more properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Sven Martin Andreas Elfgren, Friedrich I.

Patent number: 10770178Abstract: Medical procedure related objects (e.g., instruments, supplies) tagged with transponders (e.g., RFID transponders, dumb transponders) are accounted for in a medical or clinical environment via an accounting system using a number of antennas and interrogators/readers. A first set of antennas and RFID interrogator(s) interrogate portions of the environment for RFID tagged objects, for example proximate a start and an end of a procedure. Shielded packaging and/or shielded receptacles shield tagged objects, preventing interrogation except for those objects in unshielded portions of the environment. A shielded receptacle may include an antenna to interrogate the contents thereof in a relatively noise-free environment. A data store may maintain information including a current status or count of each instrument or supply, for instance as checked in or checked out. A handheld antenna and/or second set of antennas interrogates a body of a patient for retained instruments or supplies tagged with dumb transponders.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2017Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Bryan Hansen, Jeffrey Jensen

Patent number: 10005084Abstract: An article destruction device includes an electric motor driving at least one moving component. An indication panel includes at least three visual indicators situated in sequence. Each visual indicator is associated with a stage of an approaching overload (motor cool down) condition. A first visual indicator lights when the motor or corresponding sensor temperature is below a first threshold, i.e., when the device is first powered on. A second indicator lights when the temperature exceeds the first threshold and is below at least a second threshold, i.e., the temperature is approaching a fault condition. A last visual indicator lights when the temperature exceeds the first and the at least second thresholds, i.e., the fault condition is met. A thermistor on the motor energizes (self-heats) with the motor. A thermostatic switch controls current flow through windings of the motor depending on measured temperatures meeting operating and equilibrium temperature thresholds.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2014Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: STAPLES BRANDS INC.Inventors: Josh Davis, Jeffrey Jensen, Li (Henry) ZhiGuo, Hua (Kevin) Ren

Patent number: 8701636Abstract: A variable-input driving system includes first and second rotatable components rotating at different speeds. First and second sensors measure the rotation of the first and second components, and provide signals to an electronic controller. A drive selector has an input connected to each of the first and second components and an output connected to a driven component. The drive selector is responsive to a command signal from the electronic controller to selectively engage the first or second input with the output such that rotation of the first or second input is transmitted to the driven component based on the first and second signals.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2011Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventor: Jeffrey Jensen

Patent number: 8083704Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for limb off-weighting, including a sleeve operable to wrap at least partially around a leg, a support strut coupled to the sleeve to receive weight applied to the sleeve, and a foot assembly configured to support and protect the bottom of a foot, wherein the foot assembly is coupled to the support strut and operable to receive weight applied to the sleeve and transfer the weight to underlying surfaces, thus off-weighting and reducing pressure and shearing forces on the foot and ankle. According to some embodiments, foot assembly pivots around the support strut providing an assembled mode and a storage mode. According to other embodiments, sleeve is an open-ended conical shape. According to various other embodiments, the support strut may be tilted to accommodate legs and/or calves of varying sizes, and the foot assembly may adjust to feet of varying sizes.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2010Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Medefficiency, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Jensen, William O.
