Publication number: 20250175793Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, configured to receive, at a module from a provisioning server, a node identification and an access code. The module joins a network that the module has not previously joined. The module provides the node identification to the network. The network uses the node identification and access code to verify that the module is valid. The module receives from the network a new encryption key to use when sending data on the network. The module encrypts data using the new encryption key. The encrypted data is transmitted on the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2025Publication date: May 29, 2025Inventors: Matthew Hughes, Theodore Myers, Daniel Werner, Alain Charles, Avinash Jain

Publication number: 20250020411Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a heat exchanger comprising a chamber and a channel system located within the chamber. The channel system can comprise a repeating set of a first end, a second end, and a plurality of channels between the first end and the second end. A physical property of the plurality of channels can vary from the first end to the second end. A plurality of distribution manifolds can redirect at least a portion of the liquid phase of the first fluid to a plurality of bypass channels. The first fluid can flow through the plurality of channels, and the second fluid can flow through the chamber external to the plurality of channels, which can result in a transfer of heat.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Srinivas Garimella, Ryan Giometti, Matthew Hughes

Publication number: 20240408245Abstract: A prefilled cutaneous patch is provided for testing for allergic contact dermatitis and/or skin sensitivity. The patch comprises one or more wells containing ingredients that may be mixed with a suitable base (e.g., petrolatum, an aqueous solution, an anhydrous compound). The patch further comprises a backing that features an adhesive surface for adhering to a user's skin, and one or more landmarks that facilitate marking of the skin to visually demonstrate an orientation of the applied patch (e.g., which end is up, locations of wells). A landmark may comprise a dye or ink, which may be installed in one or more wells or elsewhere on the patch such that it is transferred to the user's skin when the patch is applied. Also, or alternatively, a landmark may comprise a stencil through which the user may mark the skin with a pattern that promotes interpretation of the results of the testing.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: December 12, 2024Applicant: All Skin IncInventors: Ryan T.

Publication number: 20230277119Abstract: We provide a system that detects skin contact reactions to a set of allergens. During operation, the system enables a user to acquire an image of a patch area through a camera in a portable device, wherein the patch area is located on the skin of a patient, and wherein a patch containing the set of allergens was applied to the patch area for a period of time and removed before the image was acquired. Next, the system preprocesses the image so that a resulting preprocessed image of the patch area has a prespecified size and orientation. The system then performs image-processing operations on the preprocessed image to identify regions of the patch area corresponding to positive skin contact reactions. The system labels each identified region with a specific allergen that was applied to the region to produce test results, which identify specific allergens that produced positive skin contact reactions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2021Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: All Skin IncInventors: Ryan T.

Patent number: 8995404Abstract: Methods, systems and instructions stored on computer-readable media for generating, at a first node, a plurality of data units. The plurality of data units are spread with a common pseudo-noise (PN) code that is used by a plurality of nodes, including the first node and a second node, that are in communication with an access point. A random timing offset is determined, and a first data unit is transmitted to the access point at a first time based upon a slot start time and the random timing offset. The first data unit is transmitted while at least a portion of a second signal is transmitted from the second node such that both the first data unit and the second signal are received by the access point. The second signal is transmitted at a second time based on the slot time and a second random timing offset.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: On-Ramp Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth C.
