Patent number: 11957408Abstract: A medical device that includes a handle, a sheath extending from the handle, and a tool within the sheath and movable relative to the sheath. The handle includes an inner body and an outer body disposed over the inner body. The outer body is movable relative to the inner body. The handle includes a first actuator secured to the tool. The first actuator has an actuated state permitting movement of the tool relative to the sheath in response to moving the outer body relative to the inner body. The handle includes a second actuator secured to the sheath. The second actuator has an actuated state permitting movement of the sheath relative to the tool in response to moving the second actuator relative to the outer body. An unactuated state of the first actuator and an unactuated state of the second actuator prevents movement of the tool relative to the sheath.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL DEVICE LIMITEDInventors: Katrina Hansen, John B.

Patent number: 11805337Abstract: Methods and systems automatically protect radio network equipment in extreme weather conditions such as sand-storms or snow-storms. A pair of phase-shift material grids having different orientations is installed at an air intake of the radio network equipment. One of the grids is powered to open or close the air intake according to a current amount of air-carried particles entering the radio network equipment and a temperature inside the radio network equipment. The current amount of air-carried particles entering the radio network equipment may be detected by a piezoelectric sensor.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2018Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Rafia Inam, Lackis Eleftheriadis, Junaid Shaikh, Daniel Lindström

Patent number: 11689433Abstract: A method and a scoring node for estimating a user's Quality of Experience, QoE, when a service is delivered in a media stream to the user by means of a communication network. Quality-related parameters pertaining to the service delivery are extracted, and an individual opinion score is determined for each of a set of quality models by applying each respective quality model in the set on the quality-related parameters. An aggregated opinion score is then determined as a weighted average of the individual opinion scores. The aggregated opinion score can then be used as an estimation of the user's QoE for the service delivery, e.g. when evaluating the service and/or the communication network.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Tomas Lundberg, Jing Fu, Gunnar Heikkilä, Junaid Shaikh

Patent number: 11463742Abstract: Mechanisms for predicting a multimedia session MOS are provided. The multimedia session has a video session and an audio session. The video quality and the audio quality are represented by vectors of per-time-unit scores of video quality and audio quality, respectively. The multimedia session is represented by a vector of the rebuffering start times of each rebuffering event, and a vector of the rebuffering durations of each rebuffering event. Audiovisual quality features are generated from the vectors of per-time-unit scores of video and audio quality. Buffering features are generated from the vector of rebuffering start times of each rebuffering event and the vector of rebuffering durations of each rebuffering event. A multimedia session MOS is then estimated based on the generated audiovisual quality features and the generated buffering features.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Tomas Lundberg, Jing Fu, Gunnar Heikkilä, David Lindero, Junaid Shaikh
