  • Patent number: 11640679
    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) calibration method including the steps of: (a) providing a computing device for displaying a base image of a surrounding environment, (b) obtaining location coordinates of the computing device; (c) initiating an executable application program for processing location data and generating an overlay image over the base image; (d) generating a virtual asset container and at least one digital object corresponding to the computing device, (e) determining a first location of the computing device at a local position within the asset container; (e) moving the computing device to a second location that is a determined distance in a direction from the first location, and (f) calculating a local rotation angle relative to a positive axis of the asset container and a rotation angle relative to a positive axis of a real-world coordinate system to determine an orientation difference.

  • Patent number: 11617888
    Abstract: Implantable electrodes with power delivery wearable for treating sleep apnea, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A representative system includes non-implantable signal generator worn by the patient and having an antenna that directs a mid-field RF power signal to an implanted electrode. The implanted electrode in turn directs a lowerfrequency signal to a neural target, for example, the patient's hypoglossal nerve. Representative signal generators can have the form of a mouthpiece, a collar or other wearable, and/or a skin-mounted patch.

  • Patent number: 11591892
    Abstract: A gas separation and injection system includes a lower separator that receives and separates a production stream into higher and lower density streams, a turbine-compressor including a turbine that receives the lower density stream to rotate a shaft that drives a compressor and subsequently recombines the lower and higher density streams into a recombined production stream. An upper separator receives the recombined production stream and includes a gas inlet tube that conveys a gas stream to the compressor to produce a compressed gas stream. A shuttle valve assembly axially interposes the upper separator and the turbine-compressor and includes a mandrel assembly received within a body and having the gas inlet tube extending within the mandrel assembly, a valve seat secured to the gas inlet tube, a piston movably arranged within the inner annulus between closed and open positions, and a shuttle valve operatively coupled to the piston.

  • Publication number: 20220183512
    Abstract: A wipe dispenser for use in metering out consistent doses of a composition onto a disposable wipe includes a mixing and dispensing assembly. The assembly has a vessel holding a first liquid for the composition and a first pump to convey the first liquid. A bottle having a second pump to convey a second liquid of the composition is stored within the bottle. A funnel arrangement is in downstream communication with the first pump and second pump. The funnel arrangement includes a mixing chamber for mixing the first and second liquids and a dispensing funnel in communication with and downstream of the mixing chamber. A wipe can be pulled through the dispensing funnel and wetted with a mixture of the first liquid and second liquid from the mixing chamber. A push bar attached to the funnel arrangement can selectively apply the force to actuate the first pump and second pump.

  • Publication number: 20220138467
    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) system is provided for visualizing, displaying, and management of utility assets. The system includes a mobile device having a display, a camera, a processor, a controller, and a wireless communication module. The display is coupled to the camera configured for displaying a base image and view from the camera. A mobile application is hosted on the mobile device for processing asset data corresponding to existing assets surrounding a location of the mobile device. The asset data corresponds to one or more utility lines and the mobile application is configured for determining relative distance data from the mobile device to the asset and generating an overlay image viewable through the display over an existing camera view in AR. Indicia of the asset is displayed on the mobile device. The indicia include dashed, colored, and/or solid lines, and shapes corresponding to virtual assets.

  • Publication number: 20210369525
    Abstract: A patient support apparatus comprises a base and a support frame. The patient support apparatus also comprises a lift assembly that operates to lift and lower the support frame relative to the base. The lift assembly comprises lift members that extend and collapse to lift and lower the support frame. A timing link is pivotally connected to one of the lift members and pivotally connected to the base. Guides operate to guide movement of the lift members during operation. In some cases guided bodies coupled to the lift members move passively in the guides. In other embodiments, driven members coupled to the lift members move actively in the guides to cause lifting and lowering of the support frame.

  • Patent number: 10976898
    Abstract: A system for hierarchical navigation of menus on a screen and particularly from one menu to another menu at the same level of a menu hierarchy. The system may provide side-to-side movement between menu elements to more easily navigate the menu pyramid. It may facilitate access to the details of a list of devices by selecting next and previous devices in the list, without navigating back to the list. The system may provide an operator or user with a simple, convenient method of browsing the details of devices in a list without the need to move back and forth throughout the list. The display may automatically adapt to the disparate properties of each type of device in the list. Also, the displayed details may be unique for a characterization of each device but be rendered in a common format.
