  • Publication number: 20200160739
    Abstract: A digital web-based education platform is provided for delivering targeted and individual training (e.g., to patients on injection technique to help with medical condition management). An associated website is accessible by users via computers and mobile devices. The platform has several short learning modules (e.g., animations, videos that can include knowledge assessment) on various topics. Healthcare providers (HCPs) can prescribe or recommend which topics each patient should follow and prescribes a selected product having a code. Patients access the learning modules using the website by entering the code found in the box or packing for a product, or provided by an HCP, and review learning modules and topics of their choice or recommended by an HCP using a product code and the website URL.

  • Patent number: 10081279
    Abstract: A vehicle seating assembly includes a seat frame, a first extendable member disposed on a forward portion of the seat frame and operable between an extended position and a retracted position. Each of the first and second extendable members comprises a movable housing, a trim cover stock disposed above an upper surface of housing and having a first fixed upper edge, an integrated track disposed on a lower surface of the housing, a trim payout slider operably coupled with the integrated track, a trim payout attachment operably coupled with the trim payout slider and operably coupled with a second lower movable edge of the trim cover stock, and a linkage system operatively coupling the movable housing to the trim payout attachment to maintain tension on the trim cover stock as either of the first and second extendable members is operated between the extended and retracted positions.

  • Publication number: 20180118067
    Abstract: A vehicle seating assembly for a motor vehicle has a lower seat and a seat back extending upwardly from the lower seat, and includes a cushion frame assembly having a lower seat cushion frame and a seat back cushion frame. A lower seat cushion module is mounted to the lower seat cushion frame of the cushion frame assembly, the lower seat cushion module comprising an EPP-based lower seat foam core and a lower seat trim cover fitted about an external surface of at least a portion of the foam core. A seat back cushion module is mounted to the seat back cushion frame of the cushion frame assembly, the seat back cushion module comprising an EPP-based seat back foam core and a seat back trim cover fitted about an external surface of at least a portion of the foam core.

  • Patent number: 8089286
    Abstract: A system and method for characterizing noise in a quantum system includes determining pulse sequences for unitary twirling operations. Twirling processes are applied to a quantum system to calibrate errors and to determine channel parameters. Noise characteristics are determined from calibration data collected to calibrate the errors and to determine the channel parameters. The noise characteristics are characterized to determine if the noise is independent relaxation of qubits or collective relaxation of qubits.

  • Publication number: 20060114165
    Abstract: In an implementation of antenna assembly, an antenna element is formed with a front plate that has slots for wireless communication signal transfer, a dielectric material, a channel guide that is designed to confine the dielectric in a position that aligns the dielectric with the slots in the front plate, and a back plate. The front plate, channel guide, and back plate are attached together to enclose the dielectric within the channel guide to form an enclosed dielectric channel. An antenna assembly includes one or more of the antenna elements.
