  • Patent number: 11790652
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for detecting physical contacts effectuated by actions performed by an entity participating in an event. An action, performed by the entity, is detected based on a sequence of pose data associated with the entity's performance in the event. A contact with another entity in the event is detected based on data associated with the detected action. The action and the contact detections are employed by neural-network based detectors.

  • Publication number: 20230096006
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for an automated clinical exam workflow. In one example, method comprises performing a signal quality check of an electronic stethoscope at a first recording location on a subject, recording physiological data for an exam at the first recording location via the electronic stethoscope in response to the signal quality check satisfying a quality threshold, and outputting a signal quality alert in response to the signal quality check not satisfying the quality threshold. In this way, clinically relevant data may be obtained with reduced user effort and fewer manual inputs.

  • Patent number: 11287071
    Abstract: A quick connection device for fluidly connecting tubular members is provided. In one example aspect, the connection device includes a housing defining a pass-through opening. Locking rings having a plurality of locking pins are disposed within the pass-through opening and are operable to engage tubular members received therein. The housing includes opposing connection ends each having threaded portions. Collets each having a sleeve can be threadingly engaged with the connection ends of the housing via the threaded portions. The collets can be threaded onto the connection ends such that their sleeves engage the locking pins of the locking rings. The engagement of the sleeves with the locking pins causes the locking pins to deflect, which allows the tubular members to be inserted/removed into or from the pass-through opening without need for a user to apply a continuous force on the locking ring and without scratching the tubular members.

  • Publication number: 20210259560
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for determining a state or condition of a subject. A method for determining a state or condition of a heart of a subject may include using a monitoring device comprising a plurality of sensors comprising an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, an audio sensor, and other sensors to measure data including ECG data and audio data from an organ of the subject and transmitting the data wirelessly to a computing device. A trained algorithm may be used to process the data, such as the ECG data, the audio data, and other data to determine the state or condition of the organ of the subject. More specifically, the trained algorithm can be customized for a specific indication or condition. An output indicative of the state or condition of the heart of the subject may be provided on the computing device or monitoring device.

  • Patent number: 10672602
    Abstract: A primary ion source subassembly for use with a secondary ion mass spectrometer may include a unitary graphite ionizer tube and reservoir base. A primary ion source may include a capillary insert defining an ionizer aperture. An ionizer aperture may be centrally arranged in an outwardly protruding conical or frustoconical surface, and may be overlaid with a refractory metal coating or sheath. Parameters including ionizer surface shape, ionizer materials, ionizer temperature, and beam stop plate orifice geometry may be manipulated to eliminate ghost images. A graphite tube gasket with a dual tapered surface, or an externally threaded graphite tubular connecting body, may promote sealing of a source material cavity.
