  • Publication number: 20240415465
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for monitoring arterial pressure of a patient and identifying nociception of the patient. The method includes receiving, by a hemodynamic monitor, sensed hemodynamic data representative of an arterial pressure waveform of the patient. Waveform analysis is performed by the hemodynamic monitor of the sensed hemodynamic data to calculate a first signal measure and a second signal measure. Both the first and second signal measures are processed by the hemodynamic monitor through a cumulative sum (CUSUM) algorithm to acquire a first CUSUM output for the first signal measure and a second CUSUM output for the second signal measure. A nociception event of the patient is detected when a change in the first CUSUM output overlaps in time with a change in the second CUSUM output. A sensory signal is outputted to a user interface of the hemodynamic monitor to warn medical personnel of the nociception event.

    Abstract: Gesture-controlled virtual reality systems and methods of controlling the same are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes an on-body sensor to output first signals associated with at least one of movement of a body part of a user or a position of the body part relative to a virtual object and an off-body sensor to output second signals associated with at least one of the movement or the position relative to the virtual object. The apparatus also includes at least one processor to generate gesture data based on at least one of the first or second signals, generate position data based on at least one of the first or second signals, determine an intended action of the user relative to the virtual object based on the position data and the gesture data, and generate an output of the virtual object in response to the intended action.

  • Publication number: 20240389871
    Abstract: A method for monitoring arterial pressure of a patient and warning medical personnel of current nociception of the patient includes the hemodynamic monitor receiving sensed hemodynamic data representative of an arterial pressure waveform of the patient. The hemodynamic monitor performs waveform analysis of the sensed hemodynamic data to calculate a plurality of signal measures. Detection input features, hemodynamic drug detection input features, and stable detection input features are extracted from the plurality of signal measures. A first probability is determined based on the detection input features and the hemodynamic drug detection input features. A second probability is determined based on the detection input features and the stable detection input features. The hemodynamic monitor compares the second probability with the first probability to determine an output probability of the current nociception of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20240389867
    Abstract: A system for monitoring hemodynamic data of a patient and providing a risk score representative of a likelihood of a right ventricular dysfunction event includes at least two hemodynamic sensors, a system memory, a user interface display, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor executes a right ventricular prediction software code stored within the system memory to receive hemodynamic data representative of a right ventricular pressure waveform of the patient and at least one of a pulmonary artery pressure waveform, a tissue oxygen saturation, a mixed venous oxygen saturation, and a cardiac output of the patient. Based on the hemodynamic data, the system determines and outputs the risk score to the display.

  • Patent number: 12148420
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for optimizing the presentation of content through obtaining viewership metrics, generating multiple renditions of presentations of content, and selecting optimized renditions of content. One aspect includes associating a request for viewership metrics with a presentation of content, publishing the presentation of content, and receiving information of the viewership metrics associated with the presentation. Another aspect includes copying a presentation of a content item, creating a second presentation of the content item for publishing over one or more channels, and linking the presentation of the content item to the second presentation of the content item, such that a change to one propagates to the other of the presentation of the content item or the second presentation of the content item. In yet another aspect, a content rendition may be selected for presentation based on performance of the rendition out of multiple renditions in an auction.

  • Patent number: 12148215
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying a main group of people in an image via social relation recognition. The main group of people is identified within an image by identifying social relationships between people visible in the image. The identification of social relationships is performed by a Social Relation Recognition Network (SRRN) trained using deep learning. The SRRN combines two techniques for group identification, First Glance and Graph Reasoning, and fuses their outputs to generate a prediction of group membership. A group refinement module improves and filters the group membership after identification of an initial main group.

  • Publication number: 20240371301
    Abstract: A display (20) includes a graphic layer (100) having indicia. A opaque mask layer (125) beneath the graphic layer has light-transmissive areas (130) in registration with selected indicia on the graphic layer. A circuit panel (22) bears light emitters (200). A spacer layer (250) having openings therein (252) is disposed between the mask layer and the circuit panel, and each light emitter is disposed in an opening of the spacer layer, so that light from each emitter can reach a light-transmissive area of the mask layer overlying the opening housing that light emitter. A control circuit (150) selectively illuminates the light emitters so as to selectively illuminate indicia on the graphic layer through the light-transmissive areas. The light emitters need not be precisely aligned with the indicia on the graphic layer. Numerous different displays can be made using identical circuit panels and a simple, economical manufacturing process.
