  • Patent number: 11626007
    Abstract: A home occupancy status and information system may be used to track information about human and animal occupants within a structure, and provide information to first responders in the event of an emergency. A rescue beacon may be positioned near an entrance to a home, and when an audible alarm or alarm signal is detected by the beacon it will provide visual alerts and/or audible alerts to attract the attention of a first responder, and will provide information on occupants in the home, such as a number of pets, a number of humans, and other information. A rescue device may also be carried by each pet or other occupant in the house, which may be activated by a wireless signal from a rescue beacon, or by a detected alarm audio/signal. When activated, the rescue device will provide audible and/or visual alerts to aid first responders in locating the occupant.

  • Patent number: 11624734
    Abstract: A system capable of performing both single and multidimensional liquid chromatography includes a solvent delivery system, a sample injection system, a first dimension column path configured to perform a separation process in a first dimension, a second dimension column path configured to perform a separation process in a second dimension that is different than the first dimension, a valve system; and a sample injection system fluidically connected to the valve system. The valve system is configured to direct flow from a sample injection system to a first dimension column path when the valve system is in a first position, and to direct flow from the sample injection system to the second dimension column path without the flow path flowing through the first dimension column path in the chromatography system when the valve system is in a second position.

  • Patent number: 11619770
    Abstract: A zoned waveplate has a series of transversely stacked birefringent zones alternating with non-birefringent zones. The birefringent and non-birefringent zones are integrally formed upon an AR-coated face of a single substrate by patterning the AR coated face of the substrate with zero-order sub-wavelength form-birefringent gratings configured to have a target retardance. The layer structure of the AR coating is designed to provide the target birefringence in the patterned zones and the reflection suppression.

  • Patent number: 11607270
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an anatomical implant template has a template body having opposed first and second terminal ends. The template body bends so as to change the body from a first configuration, whereby the body extends from the first terminal end to the second terminal end along a first path, to a second configuration, whereby the body extends from the first terminal end to the second terminal end along a second path, different from the first path, the second path conforming more closely to the curvature of the at least one anatomical body. The body supports at least one device that outputs at least one signal from which a shape of the body in the second configuration can be ascertained. The anatomical implant template can further communicate the at least one signal to a computing device that generates signals for bending an anatomical implant.

  • Publication number: 20230084827
    Abstract: A dark fiber dense wavelength division multiplexing service path design microservice (ddSPDmS) can provide a scalable self-contained meta-data driven approach for a flexible implementation of a dark fiber dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) service path design solution. The service plan design solution can be used as a standalone solution or integrated with a network management application. In order to manage a large volume of circuit designs, multiple microservices can accept application program interface (API) requests in a cloud environment. Permission can then be given to any application to use the API to make a call to the design and inventory. Additionally, metadata templates can be designed to support a node, a link, and/or a topology for the microservices.

  • Publication number: 20230055421
    Abstract: Techniques are described that enable a user to edit and customize captions generated by a social networking system, such as transcriptions of an audio clip. In some cases, a social networking system receives, from a first user account, a video and an audio clip associated with the video, and determines that the audio clip contains speech. The social networking system may leverage a speech-to-text component to generate a first text caption based at least in part on the speech in the audio clip. The social networking system provides the first text caption to the first user account, and receives a user input to modify a word included in the first text caption. The social networking system generates a second text caption based at least in part on the user input, and provides the video, including the second text caption, to a second user account.

  • Publication number: 20230043152
    Abstract: PAM encoding techniques that leverage unused idle periods in channels between data transmissions to apply longer but more energy-efficient codes. To improve energy savings, multiple sparse encoding schemes may be utilized selectively to fit different sized gaps in the traffic. These approaches may provide energy reductions, for example with memory READ and WRITE traffic, when transferring 4-bit data using 3-symbol sequences.
