  • Patent number: 10589626
    Abstract: A system and method for guiding an implement on a machine to a target location is disclosed. The system comprises a GUI and a controller in operable communication with the GUI. The controller is configured to: (a) determine a current location of the implement relative to the target location on the work surface; and (b) display on the GUI a symbol in one of a plurality of states, each state associated with one or more locations of the implement relative to the target location. The state in which the symbol is displayed is indicative of the current location of the implement relative to the target location and each state is identified by at least one illuminated portion of the symbol. The controller is further configured to: (c) repeat (a) and (b) each time the implement is moved to a new current location.

  • Publication number: 20200077134
    Abstract: Processing circuitry of a connectivity device can receive an audio video signal from a first source. The processing circuitry can also receive an audio signal from a second source. The processing circuitry can transmit the audio video signal to a sink device. When an audio level from the second source exceeds a threshold, the processing circuitry can send the audio signal from the second source along with the video signal from the first source to the sink device.

  • Patent number: 10561339
    Abstract: A system is configured to perform capnometry/capnography, and/or other compositional analysis on a non-invasively ventilated subject. As such, the system determines amounts of a molecular species of gas (e.g., carbon dioxide, oxygen, etc.) excreted by the subject on a per-breath basis. Determinations of amounts of the molecular species of gas excreted are adjusted to reflect amounts of the molecular species of gas leaked from the non-invasive interface used to communicate with the airway of the subject.

  • Patent number: 10548391
    Abstract: A tool pouch, tool bag, utility pouch, or similar, comprising one or more individual tool pouches, used by tradesmen in difficult and/or dangerous environments where it would be convenient and preferred for safety reasons for the tool pouches to remain closed or remain open without manual intervention. Tool pouches within a tool pouch are configured with bi-stable hinges in which an over-center cam-spring arrangement alternatively maintains either a fully-closed or a fully-open configuration until an intentional opening or closing action by a user. Individual tool pouches within a tool pouch may be opened or closed independently of the open or closed positions of other tool pouches.

  • Patent number: 10543128
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for mechanically bonding substrates together. The apparatuses may include a pattern roll including a pattern element protruding radially outward. The pattern element includes a pattern surface and includes one or more channels adjacent the pattern surface. The pattern roll may be positioned adjacent an anvil roll to define a nip between the pattern surface and the anvil roll, wherein the pattern roll is biased toward the anvil roll to define a nip pressure between pattern surface and the anvil roll. As substrates advance between the pattern roll and anvil roll, the substrates are compressed between the anvil roll and the pattern surface to form a discrete bond region between the first and second substrates. As such, during the bonding process, some yielded substrate material flows from under the pattern surface and into the channel to form a channel grommet region.

  • Publication number: 20200021561
    Abstract: An apparatus receives an upper layer packet that includes data from a source device, a virtual private network (VPN) identification, a destination address, and a destination option type. The apparatus authenticates the upper layer packet by comparing the VPN identification of the received upper layer packet to a customer VPN identification. The apparatus determines whether the apparatus recognizes the destination option type of the upper layer packet. The apparatus discards the upper layer packet on a condition that the apparatus does not recognize the destination option type. The apparatus decapsulates the upper layer packet into a lower layer packet and transmits the decapsulated packet to a destination on a condition that the apparatus recognizes the destination option type.

  • Publication number: 20190365281
    Abstract: A patient monitoring device includes a capnograph device (10) and a pulse oximeter (70). An electronic processor (84) is programmed to generate a capnography index (50) indicative of patient well-being from a capnogram measured by the capnograph device, and to generate an arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) index (90) indicative of patient well-being from SpO2 (72) measured by the pulse oximeter. A patient safety index (92) is computed from the capnography index and the SpO2 index. One or more clinical warnings are determined based at least in part on the patient safety index. A display component (82) is configured to display at least one of the computed one or more clinical warnings.

  • Patent number: 10400583
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are exemplified methods and systems for evaluating a contaminant plume so as to generate presentations of temporal and spatial changes in the contaminant plume that facilitates readily identifiable interpretations of subtle, though significant, changes in concentrations or mass of the plume overtime. Exemplified presentations of the changes in the contaminant plume can facilitate more accurate assessment of plume behavior as well as the beneficial identification (in a more readily and systematic manner) of actionable events at the plume, including identification of new contaminant sourcing, identification of effective or ineffective applied remediation (e.g., monitor progress of Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA)), and identification of changing site location, among others.
