  • Publication number: 20230354499
    Abstract: A method for the remote optimization of a task lamp that provides a practitioner the ability to alter task lamp lighting to suit a particular user in that user's environment without requiring the practitioner to be present in the same location. To effect such a method the practitioner and the user may be connected remotely, preferably via a video call, and the practitioner may be able to remotely control a task lamp set up by the user at their own location. The task lamp may be wirelessly connected to the practitioner via built-in hardware and a proprietary software, or may be wirelessly connected to the user via built-in hardware and a proprietary software that is connected to the practitioner's proprietary software. The task lamp may also be adjusted by the user independently. It is to these ends that the present invention has been developed.

  • Patent number: 11212888
    Abstract: A variable hue task lamp with novel hue selection component is disclosed herein. The color and intensity of a task lamp is adjusted using a wireless connection from a device such as a smart phone, tablet, or computing device based upon an optimization method using a sample text or scene. The user first optimizes hue by adjusting the background color of the sample text or picture on the device. The optimum hue is then communicated to the task light, which sets light emitting diode intensities to match the optimum choice. Presets further localize choices in color space, and a comparison to white verifies the benefits of the chosen hue.

  • Publication number: 20210290759
    Abstract: A prokaryotic expression system or a recombinant adenovirus system is used to highly efficiently express VZV envelope gE glycoprotein and the flagellin fusion protein thereof. The produced recombinant gE protein, gE flagellin fusion protein and recombinant adenovirus vector, or composition thereof is used to immunize a mouse so as to promote the body to generate gE and VZV-specific antibody titer, as well as gE-specific and VZV-specific cell immunity.

  • Publication number: 20180277013
    Abstract: In an embodiment, an apparatus is presented that assesses an awareness of a user about a need for influencing a change in activity levels of the user by receiving information about activity levels of a user and receiving user input about user activity, associates the user with a category among plural categories based on the awareness assessment, and provides messaging to the user based on simulated effects of targeting various personal determinants to achieve a strong influence on the user's behavior.

  • Patent number: 9820643
    Abstract: Illumination can be evaluated for patient using a system including a housing, an adjustable light source mechanically coupled to the housing and configured to illuminate an object for viewing by the patient on an axis substantially perpendicular to a surface of the object. A user-adjustable input coupled to the adjustable light source is to obtain information from a user indicative of a calibrated illuminance and a color property to be provided by the adjustable light source including providing a range of adjustable illuminance and color properties selectable by the user. The adjustable light source can be configured to provide light having an illuminance in excess of 300 lux, and the housing can be configured to provide a first specified distance between the adjustable light source and the object for viewing and to obstruct viewing of the light source directly by the patient.

  • Patent number: 9232077
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program that automatically creates a subscription for applications and services provided to wireless devices from other computer devices on a wireless network, where the subscription requires periodic payment by the wireless device subscriber for continued access to the application or service. The system monitors wireless device end-user interaction with other computer devices, such as application download servers, across the wireless network and when the end-user obtains an application or service from the computer device, the system automatically records the subscription and can either bill the wireless device subscriber for the subscription(s) or transmit the bill to the carrier or other entity to bill the subscriber.

  • Patent number: 7935354
    Abstract: A vaccine for treating or preventing the establishment of latent tuberculosis infections is provided. The vaccine comprises a recombinant mycobacterium that overexpresses the transcription factor DosR, at a level sufficient to induce production of the dosR regulon genes or proteins. A host to whom the vaccine is administered mounts an immune response to the dosR regulon proteins and is thus protected from the establishment, persistence or reactivation of latent tuberculosis.

  • Publication number: 20110026365
    Abstract: A signal decay time adjusting method is used in an ultrasonic transducer. Firstly, a first driving signal is generated by a pre-processing module. When the first driving signal is received, an ultrasonic transmitting/receiving module generates vibration and transmits a sensing wave according to the first driving signal. Then, the pre-processing module stops generating the first driving signal so that the vibration generated within the ultrasonic transmitting/receiving module is decayed as a decay signal. Then, a second driving signal is generated by the pre-processing module according to the first driving signal, and the second driving signal is transmitted to the ultrasonic transmitting/receiving module. When the second driving signal is received, the decay signal is offset according to the second driving signal, so that a decay time of the decay signal is shortened. When the sensing wave is reflected by an object, a reflective wave is received by the ultrasonic transmitting/receiving module.

  • Publication number: 20110029280
    Abstract: An ultrasonic sensing method and an ultrasonic sensing device are provided. The ultrasonic sensing device includes a microprocessor, a signal-driving module and a transducer module. The microprocessor generates a first driving signal with a first frequency to the signal-driving module. The signal-driving module drives the transducer module to emit a first sensing signal to a target object in response to the first driving signal. Then, a first echo signal received by the transducer is transmitted to the microprocessor to calculate a first time of flight. In a similar manner, a second time of flight is obtained based on a second driving signal with a second frequency. The microprocessor determines a final time of flight according to the first time of flight or the second time of flight.

  • Publication number: 20080032342
    Abstract: Multimeric hybrid genes encoding the corresponding chimeric protein comprise a gene sequence coding for an antigenic region of a protein from a first pathogen linked to a gene sequence coding for an antigenic region of a protein from a second pathogen. The pathogens particularly are parainfluenza virus (PIV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). A single recombinant immunogen is capable of protecting infants and similar susceptible individuals against diseases caused by both PIV and RSV.
