  • Patent number: 11921472
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed to determine when a portable electronic device is moved within an enclosed space. A processor and memory may control a sensor may store code executable by the processor to measure a parameter at an inlet of the computing device. The parameter may include an airflow rate, an air temperature at the inlet, and/or a current supply to a fan of the computing device. The processor may execute code to determine when the parameter at the inlet reaches a threshold. When the processor determines that the measured parameter has reached the threshold, a signal from the sensor to the processor and/or from the processor to an operator may be sent, indicating that the threshold has been reached.

  • Publication number: 20210335149
    Abstract: A simulator based training curriculum uses validated metrics for a robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy that appropriately characterize the procedure to be trained. The simulation-based training gives trainees precise feedback on their performance with specific recommendations for improvement, proximate to the performance. Trainees are also provided a quantitative performance benchmark to work toward that provides a valid representation of their skill level in a clinically important performance characteristic or task. The trainee must demonstrate the ability to meet specific performance benchmarks before they are permitted to progress in their training program.

  • Publication number: 20120124555
    Abstract: A method of optimizing a compiled control, for example a user interface control, includes generating a source code document including a test instruction statement that accesses an element of the control. The source code is then compiled, and one or more matched instructions in the compiled document are identified that correspond to the test instruction statement. A pattern is then formed using the one or more matched instructions.
