  • Publication number: 20230322042
    Abstract: A vehicle panel includes channels, wherein a first channel includes a first wire capable and a second channel includes a second wire and each wire is capable of carrying at least one of power or a vehicle data signal. The panel also includes a connection point connectable to at least one of a battery or a vehicle computing system, wherein selection of connection between the vehicle computing system or battery to a given connection point provided to a given one of the first or second channels dictates whether the channel carries the vehicle data signal or power. Also, the panel includes holes connecting to the first wire and at least two of the holes connecting to the second wire allowing a connection probe to be inserted into a respective hole to connect to a wire included in a channel to which the hole connects.

  • Publication number: 20230157897
    Abstract: A lower extremity wound system can include a lower extremity wound treatment monitoring device and an external user interface. The monitoring device can be associated with a primary wound dressing. In general, the sensors would not be placed in direct contact with the wound, and may also include within a base unit and placed on a posterior calf of the patient. The base unit can include multiple sensors, a controller, and a communication module. The controller can receive and process information from the sensors, and algorithmically determine whether to communicate information relating to the information from the sensors via the communication module to an external recipient. The external wound care information system can receive the information from the sensors, and if appropriate, can prompt a patient to alter their behavior so they are in compliance with their wound treatment plan, or inform a patient-care provider of a status change.

  • Publication number: 20230150525
    Abstract: A dynamic sensor model is implemented by a vehicle to adapt sensor behavior to vehicle modifications and transformations. Responsive to impairment of a feature of the vehicle due to initial conditions for a target sensor being outside a range of current readings and further to receiving signals indicative of a upfit to the vehicle, an upfit zone of the vehicle is identified. The upfit zone corresponds to the target sensor. One or more reconfigurations of sensors of the vehicle within the upfit zone are performed to address the impairment of the feature.
