  • Publication number: 20220181771
    Abstract: Antenna assemblies and antenna systems are described. According to one aspect, a printed circuit board antenna system includes a dielectric substrate comprising first and second surfaces that are opposite to one another, first electrically conductive material of an antenna element adjacent to the first surface of the dielectric substrate, wherein the antenna element is configured to emit electromagnetic energy, and second electrically conductive material of a ground plane adjacent to the second surface of the dielectric substrate, wherein the ground plane is aligned with the antenna element and configured to reflect some of the electromagnetic energy in a direction towards the antenna element.

  • Patent number: 11355234
    Abstract: A method of pairing a therapeutic product delivery device to a handset is described. The handset is restricted to controlling only delivery devices which it is paired with. The method comprises the steps of: at the delivery device, setting, in response to the delivery device being connected to a charging device, a pairing indicator indicating that the delivery device is available for pairing, and broadcasting the pairing indicator using a radio transceiver; at the handset, discovering the delivery device based on the broadcast pairing indicator; and pairing the discovered delivery device and the handset together. By limiting the handset to pairing with devices which are broadcasting a pairing indicator, and by limiting the setting and/or broadcast of the pairing indicator to when the delivery device is connected to a charging device, the risk of accidentally pairing the wrong delivery device (for example someone else's) to the handset is greatly reduced.

  • Publication number: 20220044238
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented processes that determine, in real time, counterparty geolocation location based on structured messaging data, such as messaging data maintained within message fields of a request-for-payment (RFP) message compliant with the ISO 20022. For example, an apparatus may receive a RFP message that includes message data associated with a transaction involving first and second counterparties, and the RFP message may characterize a real-time payment requested from the second counterparty by the first counterparty. The apparatus may determine a geographic position of the first counterparty based the message data, and based on the first geographic position, transmit notification data to a device operable by the second counterparty. The notification data may cause the device to present digital content associated with at least one of the transaction, the first counterparty, or the second counterparty within a digital interface.

  • Publication number: 20210327142
    Abstract: A computer system enhances guidance information on a display, allowing a user position and orientation in 3D space to be achieved. In some embodiments, the guidance is visual, for example the blurring of display objects not at the desired position. In some embodiments, the guidance is aural, for example placing a sound moving to the desired position. In some embodiments, the guidance is tactile, for example using haptic pads attached to a head-mounted display to push the user in a specified direction. The system may be used to guide the user spatially for the performing of a task, to help the user avoid sensitive components, or to guide the user to position a sensor, such as a camera, in an optimal direction for taking measurements. The system includes head positioning, hand positioning and gaze positioning techniques.
