  • Patent number: 12126464
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing contextual interaction with connected devices are described. A mobile device having a display that presents a user interface enabling access to functionalities provided by connected devices. The user interface may be updated as various contextually-related data is received. For example, data representing a current position of the mobile device, such as Bluetooth low energy beacon signals, WiFi signals, and the like, may be monitored. In response to determining that the current position is within a threshold proximity of a first location, the user interface may be updated to emphasize a first location interface corresponding to the first location over interfaces corresponding to other locations.

  • Publication number: 20240341770
    Abstract: A delivery system for an occlusive implant may include a delivery sheath having a delivery lumen extending proximally from a distal end of the delivery sheath, the delivery sheath being formed from a polymeric material, and a core wire slidably disposed within the delivery lumen. The core wire may be configured to releasably engage the occlusive implant. The delivery sheath may include a circumferential ring monolithically formed therewith at the distal end of the delivery sheath and a plurality of longitudinal slots disposed proximal of the circumferential ring. An occlusive implant system may include an occlusive implant configured to shift between a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration, and the delivery system for the occlusive implant. The occlusive implant may be disposed within a distal portion of the delivery lumen in the delivery configuration.

  • Publication number: 20240202830
    Abstract: An asset management system is disclosed where a plurality of financial databases may connect with and be in communication with an asset management tool. The asset management tool is able to create an individual spending plan (scheduled distributions) and matching fixed income investment portfolio for a user based on inputted parameters with automatic distributions from the portfolio consistent with the individual spending plan occurring with a high degree of certainty. The asset management tool may communicate with the plurality of financial databases to put the individual spending plan and matching portfolio into action and is able to calculate and communicate an optimized surplus investment as a means of self-insuring so that the predefined schedule of distributions is met with the effective certainty one would expect from an insured/guaranteed income product.

  • Patent number: 11926259
    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods that may include receiving situational information triggering a need to alert the driver and in response to the need to alert the driver presenting an alert to the driver based on driver state information selected based on a likelihood the driver will be more receptive to the alert modality than others of the plurality of alert modalities. The likelihood the driver will be receptive to the alert modality may be based on the received situational information, the received driver state information, and a historical behaviour record. The historical behaviour record may correlate the driver's reaction or the reaction of other drivers to previous alerts presented to the driver or other drivers with similar driver state information and similar situational information triggering presentation of previous alerts. The system may learn from the reaction of the driver and/or other drivers to better select suitable alert modalities.

  • Patent number: 11881002
    Abstract: An editing system may dynamically and intelligently determine which data points to remove, replace, and/or modify from a point cloud space so that more features, color information, and/or detail of the point cloud are preserved after decimation. The system may receive data points that are distributed in space, and may select one or more elements of the data points on which to base the decimation. For instance, the system may decimate a first subset of the data points by a first amount based on a first difference in values defined for the one or more elements of the first subset of data points, and may decimate a different second subset of the data points by a different second amount based on a second difference in values defined for the one or more elements of the second subset of data points.

  • Patent number: 11830220
    Abstract: Disclosed is an imaging system and associated methods for mapping in-focus image data from two-dimensional (“2D”) images of a scene to a three-dimensional (“3D”) model of the scene. The imaging system receives the 2D images and the 3D model, determines the depth of field (“DOF”) and the field of view (“FOV”) for each 2D image, and selects a subset of 3D model constructs that form the FOV and are within the DOF of a particular 2D image. The imaging system determines pixels of the particular 2D image that represent a same set of points in the scene as the subset of 3D model constructs, and maps the visual characteristics from those pixels to non-positional elements of the subset of 3D model constructs.

  • Patent number: 11748908
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and associated methods for generating a point-accurate three-dimensional (“3D”) model of a scene with point-accurate color information from a non-cosited capture of the scene. The system may define a first model based on positional measurements obtained from a first device. The system may capture images of the scene with a different set of devices, and may generate a second model from a photogrammetry modeling of the images. The system may align the models in order to determine positioning of the set of devices relative to the first model, and may select a particular device that captures descriptive characteristics from a position in the scene that is represented by the positional elements of a particular data point. The system may define non-positional elements of the particular data point based on the descriptive characteristics captured by the particular device.
