  • Patent number: 11349324
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a personalized charging rate are provided. In one embodiment, a system may include a recognition module, a schedule module, a charge rate module, and a charging module. The recognition module is configured to identify a vehicle to receive a charge from a charging station. The schedule module is configured to determine a parked period when the vehicle will be present at the charging station based on a schedule. The charge rate module is configured to calculate a personalized charging rate based on the parked period. The charge rate defines a charge period that is an amount of time that the charging station will provide charge to the vehicle. The personalized charging rate is calculated to reduce a time difference between the parked period and the charge period. The charging module is configured to set the personalized charging rate.

  • Publication number: 20210237053
    Abstract: A sample of blood is placed on a bilirubin test strip and plasma separated from the red blood cells. The bilirubin test strip is located on a test card along with a set of calibration images, the colors of the calibration images being associated with known plasma bilirubin levels. A photograph is taken of the test card. The bilirubin level of the blood sample is determined by, within the photograph, interpolating the color of the plasma and the colors of the closest colored calibration images.
