  • Publication number: 20240138762
    Abstract: Systems and methods to determine if an individual is impaired. The system includes a display and a stimulus on the display. The system includes a controller programmed to move the stimulus about the display and one or more sensors that track eye movements and pupil size of a user due to movement of the stimulus or light conditions. The system includes a processor programmed to analyze the eye movements and pupil data size. The system is programmed to determine the drug, or category of drug, causing impairment. The method includes using and collecting data from a testing apparatus. The method includes processing the data with an automated impairment decision engine to determine whether a subject is impaired. The method includes using machine learning models or statistical analysis to determine whether a test subject is impaired. The automated impairment decision engine may be trained using machine learning and/or statistical analysis.

  • Publication number: 20240131237
    Abstract: A mobile interface cart including a storage tank for receiving effluent from a dialysis (e.g., hemodialysis) procedure and a pump for pumping the effluent from the storage tank to an external waste drain located in the treatment center. In use, the pump enables the effluent to be moved over greater distances and/or around obstacles thereby eliminating, or at least minimizing, the need to construct expensive and time-consuming waste drains in the treatment center.

  • Publication number: 20230093360
    Abstract: A brake booster assembly having a brake booster body and a pushrod as well as a pushrod-pedal coupler are provided. The pushrod travels along a pushrod axis when being pushed. The brake booster assembly includes a pushrod-pedal coupler. The pushrod-pedal coupler comprises a pushrod-attachment end arranged on the pushrod and defining a longitudinal axis parallel to the pushrod axis. A pedal-attachment end is configured to be attached to a pedal and having a pedal pivot axis around which the pedal pivots when being pushed. The pedal pivot axis extends across the longitudinal axis. A coupler hinge is arranged between the pushrod-attachment end and the pedal-attachment end and connects the pushrod-attachment end with the pedal-attachment end. The coupler hinge has a coupler hinge axis that extends across the longitudinal axis and the pedal pivot axis. The pedal pivot axis and the coupler hinge axis are offset along the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 8777738
    Abstract: Disclosed are electronic gaming machines, methods and systems for gaming device configuration and gaming device software distribution. An electronic gaming machine is configured to detect whether a primary portable storage device is in communication with the electronic gaming machine. The primary portable storage device may be configured to store a boot image. The boot image may include a boot code, an operating system, and a framework application. The framework application may be configured to search and execute a pluggable module according to instructions provided by the pluggable module. The framework application may also include instructions configured to determine whether at least one of the one or more pluggable modules includes a signature and execute the at least one pluggable module when it is determined that the at least one pluggable module includes the signature.
