  • Patent number: 11783840
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system, method, and computer program product are described that predicts a time in which a participant of a group of participants may speak in a group meeting. The prediction is based in part on latency between each participant in the group of participants and learned voice patterns of each respective participant. Once a prediction is determined, a cue to speak or remain silent is provided as one of a visual or aural cue to the participant to speak during the group meeting. Predicting a time in which the participant of a group of participants may speak includes training a lingual processing model iteratively for each respective participant to learn voice patterns of participants.

  • Patent number: 11738854
    Abstract: An aircraft with wing tip devices, for example, folding wing tips, is disclosed. The folding wing tip may have a flight configuration for use during flight, and a ground configuration for use in ground-based operations. The ground configuration creates a shorter wing span than when the aircraft is in the flight configuration. A hinge arrangement protrudes beyond an outer surface of the fixed wing and wing tip device. In order to reduce the aerodynamic effect of the protruding hinge a fairing may be provided. In the flight configuration the fairing comprises a rear portion with a concave surface, such that the fairing acts as a lift-generating surface when the aircraft is in flight.

  • Patent number: 11698285
    Abstract: A method can include obtaining a first weight measurement of a receptacle and obtaining a second weight measurement of the receptacle. The method can further include calculating a first difference between the first weight measurement and the second weight measurement, resulting in a reference dispensation value. The method can further include obtaining dispensation data, the dispensation data including a measured dispensation value. The measured dispensation value can correspond to a quantity of a substance dispensed from the receptacle, the quantity of the substance passing through a dispensation monitor coupled to the receptacle. The method can further include calculating a second difference between the reference dispensation value and the measured dispensation value. The method can further include determining that the second difference exceeds a threshold and adjusting the dispensation monitor in response to determining that the second difference exceeds the threshold.

  • Patent number: 11610666
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for use in managing treatment of a chronic disorder with pharmaceutical or therapeutic compounds by tracking symptoms associated with the disorder. Methods include inputting patient attributes, factors and various and other data relating to the patient in conjunction with one or more symptoms into a symptom tracking system and outputting a report of the data tracked over time to any of the patient, a medical professional and a drug developer to improve identification of a relapse of the chronic condition and improve management of the treatment regimen for any and all patients.

  • Publication number: 20230033093
    Abstract: A system and method for performing range of motion measurements in an unsupervised manner. A user equipment with one or more cameras may be used with an application on the UE using the one or more cameras to measure range of motion of a user of the UE. The patient may record movement of the part of the body of interest, such as the head. The movement may be recorded in three dimensions (e.g., calculated from two dimensional coordinates of an image) and processed by the application, and the three rotational angles calculated corresponding to the difference between the final position of the head and the initial position of the head at the beginning of the recording. As a result, facial recognition is used to improve monitoring of range of motion during surgical recovery in an unsupervised environment.

  • Patent number: 11247769
    Abstract: An aerodynamic structure for use on an upper surface of an aircraft wing is disclosed. The wing includes a slat operable between a stowed configuration in which the slat is stowed in a slat recess of the wing, and a deployed configuration in which the slat extends out of the slat recess. When the slat is in the deployed configuration, an end face of the slat recess is exposed, the end face intersecting with the upper surface of the wing at a recess edge. The aerodynamic structure, adjacent to the recess edge, has a volume shaped to encourage air flowing over the recess edge onto the upper surface during flight, to remain attached.

  • Patent number: 11174008
    Abstract: A method of retrofitting a wing of a fixed wing aircraft is disclosed including the steps of providing an existing aircraft wing with a main fixed wing portion, and the main fixed wing portion having a tip end and an existing movable flight control surface connected adjacent the tip end. The existing movable flight control surface is then removed from the main fixed wing portion, and a wing tip device and movable flight control surface are selected as a pair to replace the existing movable flight control surface, with the selected movable flight control surface having an aerodynamic surface of different shape to the shape of the flight control surface removed from the wing. The selected wing tip device and movable flight control surface are then fitted to the main fixed wing portion.

  • Patent number: 10950347
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for use in managing patient treatments utilizing pharmaceutical or therapeutic compounds. Methods include accessing one or more fields of information relating to any of a patient, physician and drug treatment and relating the one or more fields, or combination thereof, to a particular attribute or outcome. By analyzing the one or more fields of data in relation to the attribute or outcome, the system determines suitability of an intervention(s) and tasks the intervention(s) to one or more entities to facilitate the desired attribute or outcome. In certain aspects, the system facilitates identification of complex relationships and trends between seemingly unrelated fields of information and outputs information for use in an intervention or various other purposes according to the attribute or outcome desired by the user.

  • Publication number: 20210022904
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a novel system to prevent inappropriate medical tubing removal by patients. The invention can be composed of a piece of clear plastic or thick fabric which can be held in place on the wearer by multiple belts. The device is designed to prevent the wearer from removing the medical tubing. When the device is worn and secured to the wearer, the wearer's hands are unable to intrude beneath the fabric to grasp the medical tubing and facilitate its removal.

  • Publication number: 20200193386
    Abstract: Storing and organizing pre-hiring screening data of multiple candidates and generating weighted scores using different weights. The task-specific data structure includes a task step table that stores multiple task steps. Each of the task steps includes one or more step activities, each of which corresponds to either (1) one or more questions, or (2) one or more assessments. Each question is associated with a question weight, each an attribute weight and/or an attribute weight, and each assessment is associated with an assessment weight and/or an attribute weight. Data related to the one or more questions or the one or more assessments are received and recorded in the task-specific data structure. Scores related to the questions and assessments are weighted based on the question weights, assessment weights, attribute weight, and/or additional weights.
