  • Patent number: 12251627
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for controlling a robot via a foot-operable controller. The foot-operable controller includes a grid of large pressure-sensitive tiles that are responsive to being stepped on. Signals from the pressure-sensitive tiles are provided to a controller interface that converts the signals to control messages compatible with existing robot control interfaces, such as a universal serial bus. The foot-operable controller may be used to control various robots, including for example a robot equipped with a claw arm or a robot equipped with a ring launcher.

  • Patent number: 11779757
    Abstract: One or more antennas are electrically coupled to one or more switches of an implantable medical device (IMD) in which the one or more switches are additionally electrically coupled to one or more lead wires of an IMD lead. The one or more switches also are electrically coupled to one or more electrodes or electrical circuitry of the IMD's implantable pulse generator (IPG). In response to exposure of the IMD to an energetic electromagnetic field, a voltage signal is induced in the one or more antennas and provided, possibly via one more filters, as a control signal to the one or more switches. Receipt of the control signal by the one or more switches automatically configures the one or more switches into a non-conductive state, thereby electrically isolating the one or more lead wires from the one or more electrodes or the IPG electrical circuitry.

  • Patent number: 10522050
    Abstract: An optimization engine builds a set of test forms, called a pallet for use in a qualification test setting. The pallet is generated using a optimization engine programmed with constraints and goals for each test form in the pallet and for the pallet in general. A test information floor is set at the cut point of the test which causes test items to be focused at the area of the test where the pass/fail decision is made. Further constraints may be programmed to maximize the item diversity, that is, to spread the use of available test items as uniformly as possible.

  • Publication number: 20170091779
    Abstract: Technologies for enabling real-time support for requests (e.g., onboarding requests, support requests, managing requests, troubleshooting requests, etc.) based at least in part on contextual data are described. The technologies described can receive a request associated with a product and/or a service and determine contextual data associated with the request. The contextual data can define a status of an application associated with the product and/or the service. Additionally, the technologies described can include determining support providers for supporting the request based partly on the contextual data and generating task data associated with the request. The task data can include the contextual data.

  • Publication number: 20170091778
    Abstract: Technologies for enabling support providers to integrate into a support application and provide real-time support for requests based at least partly on authorizations associated with the support providers are described. The technologies described can access authentication data associated with support providers. The technologies described can receive a request associated with a product and/or a service and determine contextual data associated with the request. The technologies described can determine authorization data associated with support providers, determine support providers for supporting the request based partly on the contextual data, determine that the support providers are authorized to receive the request, and generate task data associated with the request.

  • Patent number: 9355373
    Abstract: A test results screening tool allows capture of test item and test results data and provides a reviewer with a robust set of tools for entering screening criteria and display of test results by both test subject and test center. The tool includes parametrically sets flags for unwanted testing behaviors including test item harvesting, test subjects with pre-knowledge of the test subject matter, and proxy test takers for some a portion of a test.

  • Publication number: 20050156976
    Abstract: A method of an embodiment of the invention is disclosed that determines calibration factors for a fluid-ejection mechanism that is capable of ejecting differently colored fluids onto media. The energy used to eject fluid for each of at least one of the fluid colors is adjusted based on the calibration factors, so that fluid drop ejections of the fluid colors yield fluid drop masses having a consistent ratio.
