Publication number: 20220369961Abstract: This disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for detecting change in patient health based upon patient data. In one example, a medical system comprising processing circuitry communicably coupled to a glucose sensor and configured to generate continuous glucose sensor measurements of a patient. The processing circuitry is further configured to: extract at least one feature from the continuous glucose sensor measurements over at least one time period, wherein the at least one feature comprises one or more of an amount of time within a pre-determined glucose level range, a number of hypoglycemia events, a number of hyperglycemia events, or one or more statistical metrics corresponding to the continuous glucose sensor measurements; apply a machine learning model to the at least one extracted feature to produce data indicative of a risk of a cardiovascular event; and generate output data based on the risk of the cardiovascular event.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Kamal Deep Mothilal, Michael D. Eggen, Ning Yu, John P. Keane, Shantanu Sarkar, Randal C. Schulhauser, David L. Probst, Mark R. Boone, Kenneth A. Timmerman, Stanley J. Taraszewski, Matthew A.

Patent number: 10463626Abstract: A dry composition, comprising three-dimensional porous microparticles, wherein the microparticles comprise: (i) an active substance (eg a poorly water soluble drug), (ii) polymeric nanoparticles such as those composed of a biocompatible and/or biodegradable polymer (eg a PLGA polymer) (iii) lipid droplets (eg droplets of a medium chain triglyceride (MCT)), (iv) a nanoparticle stabilizing agent such as PVA or DMAB, and optionally, (v) a cryoprotectant (eg mannitol); wherein said active substance is carried by said nanoparticles and/or lipid droplets. The composition of the present invention may be formulated into, for example, a medicament for the treatment and/or prevention of various diseases or disorders (eg human or veterinary therapeutics). The average diameter of the individual microparticles of the composition, may be in the order of 2.5-3.5 ?m which are particularly suitable for administration to the lung.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: University of South AustraliaInventors: Clive Allan Prestidge, Paul Matthew Joyce

Patent number: 9850093Abstract: An exemplary elevator system includes at least one elevator car. An access controller is configured to provide an access credential to a portable wireless communication device responsive to a request from that device indicating a desire for at least access to the elevator system. The access credential at least temporarily indicates that the desired access should be granted. A credential receiver is configured to obtain the provided access credential from the portable wireless communication device. An entry device allows the desired access responsive to the credential receiver obtaining the access credential.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2012Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANYInventors: Peter DePaola, Matthew Joyce

Patent number: 9799156Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing access without determining an identity of a requester. A fixture may receive a rule pertaining to access to a floor of a building. The fixture may receive a request to access the floor of the building. The fixture may grant access to the floor based on a determination that the rule indicates that access to the floor should be granted.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2013Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANYInventors: Jannah A. Stanley, Ashley Chapman, Matthew Joyce

Patent number: 9731934Abstract: An exemplary elevator destination entry system includes a passenger interface device that presents a visual representation of at least one item that will accompany a passenger on an elevator car. The passenger interface allows the passenger to select the visual representation. A controller is configured to receive indications of passenger requests for elevator service and an indication from the passenger interface device regarding a selected visual representation. The controller determines an amount of space within an elevator car required to accommodate the item based on predetermined space information corresponding to the selected visual representation. The controller assigns a car to a passenger request based on a determination that the assigned car will have adequate space to accommodate the passenger and the item.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2012Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANYInventors: Jannah A. Stanley, Michael P. Flynn, Matthew Joyce, Vijay Jayachandran, Tarique Faruki

Patent number: 9592993Abstract: An exemplary elevator passenger interface device includes a passenger communication component that facilitates communications between a passenger and an elevator system. Such communications include passenger input to request elevator service and information provided to the passenger. A controller controls the passenger communication component to control its functionality including providing selected information to the passenger. The controller includes a customization module configured to change the functionality of the passenger communication component responsive to authorized user input that is distinct from the passenger input. The authorized user input includes a selection of at least one of a feature used to present information to a passenger or a feature used to allow a passenger to request elevator service.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2011Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: Otis Elevator CompanyInventors: Matthew Joyce, Ashley Chapman, Osamu Sakai, Jannah A. Stanley, Vijay Jayachandran, Baudelaire St. Louis

Patent number: 9522805Abstract: An exemplary system for communicating with an elevator passenger includes a plurality of elevator passenger interface devices configured to allow an elevator passenger to indicate at least an elevator service request. The interface devices are configured to communicate at least elevator service information to an elevator passenger. A server communicates with the plurality of interface devices. The server is configured to determine when there is input at any of the interface devices. The server is configured to determine a meaning of such input. The server is also configured to determine output to provide at the corresponding interface device and to communicate the determined output to the corresponding interface device. The determined output is responsive to the determined meaning of the input.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2011Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: Otis Elevator CompanyInventors: Matthew Joyce, Ashley Chapman, Osamu Sakai, Baudelaire St. Louis, Jannah A.

Patent number: 9126806Abstract: An exemplary elevator input device includes a passenger interface configured to allow a passenger to place a call to indicate a desired elevator service. The elevator input device includes a controller configured to interpret any passenger input regarding desired elevator service. The controller identifies which of a plurality of elevator cars will be able to provide the desired elevator service according to a predetermined criterion. The plurality of elevator cars considered by the controller includes every elevator car that is capable of serving the call. The controller is also configured to assign the call to the identified elevator car. With the input device controller assigning the call to an identified elevator car, the dispatching of elevator cars is distributed among controllers of input devices rather than being accomplished at a single group controller.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2009Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Otis Elevator CompanyInventor: Matthew Joyce
