  • Publication number: 20230010793
    Abstract: The present technology includes devices, systems, and method for managing a patient's urine output. In some embodiments, an exemplary method includes receiving an estimated amount of excess fluid for the patient; obtaining a urine output rate of the patient; obtaining a diuretic dosage rate of the patient; obtaining (i) a first input corresponding to a percentage of an actual amount of net fluid loss relative to the estimated amount of excess fluid, and/or (ii) a second input corresponding to an estimated amount of fluid remaining; and based on the first input and/or the second input, providing an output associated with adjusting the fluid therapy. Providing the output can include providing an indication with instructions for increasing the patient's urine output by administering an additional diuretic and/or increasing infusion of hydration fluid to the patient.

  • Patent number: 11540112
    Abstract: A wireless communication network enforces a user policy for a User Equipment (UE) and directs another wireless communication network to enforce another user policy for another UE. In the wireless communication network, an Application Function (AF) receives the user policy from another AF in the other wireless communication network and transfers the user policy to the PCF. The PCF distributes the user policy to a Network Function (NF). The NF enforces the user policy. The PCF identifies the other user policy for the other UE and transfers the other user policy to the AF. The AF responsively transfers the other user policy to the other AF. The other AF transfers the other user policy to another PCF in the other wireless communication network. The other PCF distributes the other user policy to another NF in the other wireless communication network which enforces the other user policy.

  • Patent number: 11523271
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a User Equipment (UE) and exports UE capability data. A UE Capability Management Function (UCMF) receives the UE capability data and transfers the UE capability data to a Network Exposure Function (NEF). The NEF transfers the UE capability data to another wireless communication network. The UCMF receives additional UE capability data. The NEF receives a UE capability request for the UE from the other wireless communication network. In response, the NEF transfers the UE capability request for the UE to the UCMF. The UCMF transfers additional UE capability data to the NEF. The NEF transfers the additional UE capability data to the other wireless communication network.

  • Publication number: 20220379002
    Abstract: Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy systems, apparatuses, and methods for operating the systems and apparatuses are disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a negative pressure source, a connector port, at least one switch, and a controller. The negative pressure source is connected through the connector port to either (i) a wound dressing having a canister configured to store fluid aspirated from the wound or (ii) a wound dressing without a canister between the connector port and the wound dressing. The controller determines, based on a signal received from the at least one switch, whether the canister is positioned in the fluid flow path and adjusts one or more operational parameters of negative pressure wound therapy based on the determination. The switch is activated by the connection of either the canister or canisterless wound dressing to the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20220377514
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves User Equipment (UEs) over a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Network Exposure Function (NEF). The wireless communication network comprises a non-3GPP Interworking Function (IWF) and the 3GPP NEF. The non-3GPP IWF receives NEF Application Programming Interface (API) calls that have UE data from the UEs over non-3GPP access nodes. The non-3GPP IWF transfers the NEF API calls that have the UE data to the 3GPP NEF. The 3GPP NEF receives the NEF API calls that have the UE data from the non-3GPP IWF. The 3GPP NEF exposes the UE data to an Application Functions (AF) in response to the NEF API calls.

  • Patent number: 11507616
    Abstract: A method of inspecting a component includes storing at least one inspection image file in a memory and receiving a search request associated with the at least one inspection image file. The method also includes accessing a database including a plurality of image files, comparing the hash code of the at least one inspection image file to the hash code of each image file of the plurality of image files, and identifying a first subset of image files based on the hash code comparison. The method also includes comparing the feature data of the at least one inspection image file to the feature data of each image file of the first subset of image files and classifying a second subset of image files as relevant based on the feature data comparison. The method further includes generating search results based on the second subset of image files.

  • Publication number: 20220337969
    Abstract: A rendering mode may be determined for received audio data, including audio signals and associated spatial data. The audio data may be rendered for reproduction via a set of loudspeakers of an environment according to the rendering mode, to produce rendered audio signals. Rendering the audio data may involve determining relative activation of a set of loudspeakers in an environment. The rendering mode may be variable between a reference spatial mode and one or more distributed spatial modes. The reference spatial mode may have an assumed listening position and orientation. In the distributed spatial mode(s), one or more elements of the audio data may each be rendered in a more spatially distributed manner than in the reference spatial mode and spatial locations of remaining elements of the audio data may be warped such that they span a rendering space of the environment more completely than in the reference spatial mode.
