  • Patent number: 11964062
    Abstract: An antimicrobial device, such as a flashlight, lantern, or lamp, is discussed herein. The antimicrobial device produces light in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum (i.e., 150-250 nm), including 200-230 nm. The antimicrobial device includes an electron source, an extractor, and a target material. The electron source provides the electrons of sufficient energy to cause a photon to be released, whether by a target or by the electron itself. The extractor extracts the electrons from the electron source. The target material is a component at which the electron is directed. The target material can release a photon having a desired wavelength or within a desired wavelength range or cause the electron to release a photon having a desired wavelength or within a desired wavelength range.

  • Patent number: 11960624
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are configured to apply k-anonymity to an answer to a query sent to a relational database. A query to the relational database is obtained, the relational database containing a plurality of records. A frequency of occurrence of the attributes in the relational database is determined, an anonymization rule set is created based on the frequency of occurrence of the attributes, the anonymization rule set defining which attributes are to be suppressed in the answer to the query, the anonymization rule set is used to generate the answer to the query, wherein the answer to the query has k-anonymity, and a display or other device is controlled based on the answer to the query.

    Abstract: The electrical connector unit includes a first connector electrically coupled to a component to define a path for electrical supply therethrough for an activation and a deactivation of the component. The first connector includes a body, electrical contacts, and an opening. The body includes a surface that defines an array of electrical contact locations including one or more first electrical contact locations and a second electrical contact location. The electrical contacts extend correspondingly from the first electrical contact locations. The opening extends from the second electrical contact location to fluidly couple with an interior of an enclosure encasing the component. The first connector is configured to receive a second connector configured to facilitate passage of a fluid through the opening to create a pressure differential between the interior of the enclosure and an exterior of the enclosure for performing a leak testing of the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 11925723
    Abstract: Antimicrobial metal ion coatings and implants including them. In particular, described herein are coatings including an anodic metal (e.g., silver and/or zinc and/or copper) that is co-deposited with a cathodic metal (e.g., palladium, platinum, gold, molybdenum, titanium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, manganese, niobium or rhenium) on a substrate so that the anodic metal is galvanically released as antimicrobial ions when the apparatus is exposed to a bodily fluid. The anodic metal may be at least about 25 percent by volume of the coating, resulting in a network of anodic metal with less than 20% of the anodic metal in the coating fully encapsulated by cathodic metal. The implant may be configured as an implant such as a bone-screw or intramedullary rod-like body configured to receive a treatment cartridge having a coating as described.

  • Publication number: 20230384804
    Abstract: Example embodiments described herein are directed to systems and methods related to moving a package in a delivery vehicle in a timely manner prior to the vehicle reaching a destination for the package. In an example embodiment, a computer identifies a target spot located ahead of the delivery destination. The computer then conveys an instruction to an automated package moving apparatus in the vehicle to initiate a movement of the package from a first location in a cargo area of the vehicle to a second location in the cargo area before or at a time of arrival of the vehicle at the target spot on the delivery route. The process of identifying the target spot on the delivery route can involve determining an amount of time to be allocated for the automated package moving apparatus to move the first package from the first location to the second location in the cargo area.

  • Patent number: 11698955
    Abstract: Some implementations provide input-triggered user verification. This may involve trigging a user verification (e.g., capture of an image, sound, fingerprint, etc.) to verify a user's identity based on input (e.g., typing) received ad the device. Triggering the user-verification based on receiving input may help ensure that the image, sound, fingerprint, etc. is captured at a time when the user is close to the device, touching the finger-print sensor, and/or in view of the camera during the capturing. Some implementations provide user verification based on a user-identification of a previously selected image. This may involve using an inmate-selected picture or other image to recover a forgotten alphanumeric reference. Some implementations of the invention disclosed herein provide user verification based on a computer-vision identification of a wearable identification tag. This may involve using an image of the user's identification tag worn on the user's wrist to verify the user's identity.
