  • Patent number: 12206548
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system enables users to create dynamically configurable applications that can be dynamically configured and adjusted. An application that runs on the server system in a first configuration is configured using a first configuration template. Data indicating (i) that the application is being accessed on a computing device in the first configuration, and (ii) a request to adjust the first configuration of the application is received. Operations are then performed while the application is being accessed on the computing device in the first configuration. A second configuration template that specifies a second configuration of the application corresponding to the request included in the received data is generated. The application is adjusted using the second configuration template to run in the second configuration. An instruction is provided to the computing device to enable the computing device to access the application running in the second configuration.

  • Publication number: 20240407654
    Abstract: An implantable, wireless cardiac hemodynamics monitor system includes a bio-sensing module and a wireless electronic subsystem. The bio-sensing module is implanted in a heart or an artery of the mammal subject to continuously monitor cardiac functions of the mammal subject. The wireless electronic subsystem is implanted between a fat layer and a dermis layer of a skin of the mammal subject and electrically connected to the bio-sensing module through insulated flexible wires. the wireless electronic subsystem is wirelessly communicated to an external wireless power transfer (WPT) module and an external user interface module. In operation, the wireless electronic subsystem is used to wirelessly receive power transferred from the external WPT module, and provide the power to the bio-sensing module; and to obtain sensing signals of the cardiac functions monitored by the bio-sensing module, and wirelessly transmit the sensing signals obtained to the external user interface module.

  • Patent number: 12161894
    Abstract: A test fixture facilitates non-destructive testing of a protective mask. The test fixture includes a mock facial structure, a clamping form that makes a seal around at least part of the facial structure, and can employ the retaining straps of the protective mask to a make a seal around at least part of the facial structure. In use, the protective mask is tested in situ on the facial structure. In some examples, the clamping form has a negative contour of the mock facial structure or of the outer surface of a protective mask that is to be tested. The testing can include repetitive testing of the fit, structural components (e.g., ultrasonic welds and straps), and the degradation of materials as a function of donning/doffing or environmental factors (e.g., temperature and humidity).
