  • Publication number: 20260064977
    Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating captions, a processing device implements a caption generation service to receive an input for caption generation that includes a text input indicating example language or content for the caption and an action input indicating a desired action. The processing device receives the text input via a user interface. The caption generation service generates a textual prompt for a machine-learning model based on the action input and text input. The machine-learning model uses the textual prompt to generate the caption in a specified structural format. The processing device then causes the generated caption to be presented to a user via the user interface.

  • Publication number: 20250344958
    Abstract: A method includes increasing or decreasing a temperature of an oximeter device by cycling oximetry measurements and temperature adjustment at a predetermined frequency. During temperature adjustment, power supplied to LEDs of the oximeter device may be modulated to heat or cool the oximeter device if the oximetry device is above a temperature setpoint or below the temperature setpoint. After the device is heated to the temperature setpoint an oximetry measurement is made using the LED to illuminate patient tissue, detected the light from the tissue after illumination, and determining oximetry information for the tissue. Using the LED for heating and oximetry measurements reduces electronic components of the device improves reliability from the reduction of electronic components. The device can also not power the LEDs to allow the device to cool if the temperature is above the temperature setpoint.

  • Patent number: 9708783
    Abstract: The plow lock is a device that is adapted for use with a plow or a snowplow in order to immobilize the plow or snowplow from use. The plow lock includes a first plate affixed to a second plate. The second plate forms a right angle with the first plate. The first plate includes a first lock hole thereon. The second plate is further defined with an outer surface. The outer surface of the second plate is affixed to a wedge member. The wedge member extends outwardly from the second plate. The plow attachment bracket includes a plow lock hole that aligns with the first lock hole of the first plate such that a lock is locked thereon so as to secure the plow lock onto the plow attachment bracket thereby preventing a vehicle from attachment to the plow attachment bracket.

  • Publication number: 20130061206
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes receiving data descriptive of a flow chart representing a test sequence from a user using a graphical user interface (GUI) stored on a non-transitory machine-readable medium. The flow chart includes one or more processing blocks and at least one of the one or more of the processing blocks defines a step in the test sequence. The method also includes rendering the flow chart using the GUI; providing an editing interface for editing the flow chart on the GUI, generating; using the GUI, high level software code corresponding to the data descriptive of the flow chart and configured to implement the test sequence; storing the high level software code on the non-transitory machine-readable medium; and providing access to the high level software code for editing. At least a portion of the high level software code implements the step in the test sequence.

  • Patent number: 8031332
    Abstract: The location of one of a series of construction points at an indoor construction site is established using a robotic total station and a handheld device. Construction data is inputted into the handheld device with the construction data defining a plurality of construction points at the construction site. One of the plurality of construction points is selected with the handheld device. Data regarding the selected construction point is then transmitted wirelessly from the handheld device to a robotic total station. The robotic total station generates a beam of laser light, and directs the beam of laser light from the robotic total station to the construction point. The construction point is defined by x and y coordinates, and by an assumed z coordinate. The actual z coordinate is that of a point on a horizontal surface, such as a ceiling or floor, having the same x and y coordinates. Through an iterative process, the location of the construction point is established.
