Publication number: 20240114206Abstract: In aspects of variable concurrent access to content of a device by multiple devices, content of a primary device is detected as being accessed concurrently by a primary user via the primary device and by a secondary user via a secondary device communicatively coupled to the primary device. Unrestricted access to the content of the primary device is provided to the primary device and restricted access to the content of the primary device is provided to the secondary device. The restricted access prevents the secondary user from accessing a subset of the content of the primary device. A first portion of the content of the primary device is output via the primary device. Further, a second portion of the content of the primary device is caused to be output by the secondary device while the primary device outputs the first portion of the content.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Amit Kumar Agrawal, Wendel Malta de Assis, Andre Luiz Silva Bazante

Patent number: 11554260Abstract: A method of responding to an adverse event associated with an implantable blood pump including detecting the adverse event, reducing a pump speed of the blood pump relative to a set pump speed in response to the detected adverse event, and determining whether at least one of a group consisting of the adverse event and a second adverse event is present following the reducing of the pump speed of the blood pump. If the at least one of the group consisting of the adverse event and a second adverse event is not present, the method includes increasing the pump speed to the set pump speed and if the at least one of the group consisting of the adverse event and a second adverse event is present while increasing the pump speed to the set pump speed, the method includes reducing the pump speed to a maximum safe operating speed.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2019Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: HeartWare, Inc.Inventors: Carlos Reyes, Katherine Chorpenning, Antonio Luiz Silva Ferreira, Neethu Lekshmi Vasudevan Jalaja, Justin Wolman, Fernando Casas

Patent number: 11113674Abstract: The present application provides a method and a user device for monitoring a use condition. The method includes determining a baseline level of performance for each of one or more elements of the device including a determined replacement threshold level. The method further includes running a diagnostic determining the current performance of at least some of the one or more elements for which a baseline level of performance has been determined, wherein the running of the diagnostic includes a diagnostic determination triggered by a detected non-standard use condition. The current performance of the at least some of the one or more elements is compared to the determined baseline level performance for the respective ones of the one or more elements of the user device. When the determined current performance of at least one of the one or more elements falls below the determined replacement threshold level, the user is notified of a need for service of the user device.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Danila Vieira, Andre Luiz Silva Bazante, Edgar Kenji Tanaka, Rodrigo Barbosa Dias, Andre Luis Graziani, Jéssica Caroline Dias Nascimento, Guilherme Furlan, Rosane Alencar do Santos, Luiz Augusto Lago de Oliveira Filho, Andre Scalet Marangone, Lucas Henrique Grizante

Patent number: 10977909Abstract: Various embodiments provide an ability to synchronize notifications with media playback. In one or more embodiments, when a user is consuming content, such as music, television, a game, an audible notification can be synchronized with the user's content consumption experience. For example, various embodiments can detect what type of content the user is consuming and changes in the content. For example, when the content is music, various embodiments can detect when the music changes or stops, and can then provide audible notifications to the user. Audible notifications can pertain to notifications associated with incoming messages, calls, and other information such as passive assistance notifications.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Amit Kumar Agrawal, Andre Luiz Silva Bazante, Olivier David Meirhaeghe

Publication number: 20210035570Abstract: Various embodiments receive, by a personal assistant embodied on a computing device, a verbal instruction. The personal assistant ascertains whether the verbal instruction is intact. Responsive to the verbal instruction not being received intact, noise in an ambient environment around the computing device is monitored and responsive to the noise in the ambient environment being below a noise threshold, clarification of the verbal instruction is requested.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2019Publication date: February 4, 2021Applicant: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Amit Kumar Agrawal, Andre Luiz Silva Bazante, Olivier David Meirhaeghe, Robert S.

Patent number: 10737006Abstract: A flow rate of blood through an implantable blood pump is determined based on a parameter related to the flow, such as a parameter related to thrust on the rotor of the pump. An amount of current supplied to the pump is used to determine each of a first flow rate value and second flow rate values. Each of the first and second flow rate values, in combination with the parameter related to thrust on the rotor of the pump, are used to calculate a flow rate of blood through the pump.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: HeartWare, Inc.Inventors: Fernando Casas, Justin Wolman, Carlos Reyes, Antonio Luiz Silva Ferreira

Patent number: 9600177Abstract: An electronic device (100) includes a display (102). The electronic device can also include a user interface (110) to detect gesture input. One or more control circuits (116), operable with the display and the user interface, can detect a predefined gesture input (401) and alter a timer (122) controlling a duration in which the display is in an operational mode. This allows a user (300) to make a quick gesture to extend the time the display will be active without interaction so that the user can read long documents or other items without the display turning OFF.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Boby Iyer, Craig J Detter, John Hamilton O'Leary, Andre Luiz Silva Bazante, Dale F Zalewski
