  • Patent number: 11935528
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for delivering audible alerts are described. In one aspect, an event for generating an audible alert for a user is detected. In response to detection of the event for generating the audible alert, it is determined whether an authorized audible interface device is within a threshold distance of the user based on a location of the user and a location of one or more authorized audible interface devices. In response to determining that an audible interface device is within the threshold distance of the user, alert instructions for the audible interface device are generated. The alert instructions cause the audible interface device to generate the audible alert in accordance with alert data provided in the alert instructions. The alert instructions are sent to the audible interface device over a wireless network via a communication module.

  • Publication number: 20240071257
    Abstract: A surgeon training apparatus includes a cassette, which includes biological tissue repurposed into a form consistent with the anatomical configuration of abdominal hernias, affixed into an anatomically correct silicon framework which replicates the abdominal anatomy. The framework positions the cassette in an anatomically correct position within the abdominal cavity, enabling surgeons to train using a properly positioned representation of the target anatomy, thus requiring the surgeon to properly use surgical tools to correct the pathologic condition caused by the hernia. The cassette is formed by applying biologic tissue to a specially designed “plate,” which affixes the tissue block into the anatomic framework, and is adapted for connection to a grounding device so the surgeon can use cautery during the simulated hernia repair.

  • Publication number: 20240056515
    Abstract: A method transmits a response message in response to an incoming message. A header portion of the incoming message is identical to a header portion of the response message. A payload of the incoming message is different from a payload of the response message. The method splits an incoming physical signal representing the incoming message into a first and a second copy. The first copy is provided to a transmitter system. Further, the method generates a signal and, based on determining that a message is received from at least part of the second copy, provides the generated signal to the transmitter system so that the generated signal is transmitted after at least part of the first copy's header part has been transmitted. The transmitted at least part of the first copy's header part and the transmitted generated signal together form a transmitted response signal representing the response message.
