Patent number: 12165763Abstract: A system and method is described for printing a label with an RFID tag. The system includes an RFID reader that queries a first RFID tag coupled to a first medicinal container that includes a medication. In response, the system receives a first unique identifier and uses the first unique identifier to determine a status of the medication, associate the first medicinal container with a medical provider and print a second label that includes a second RFID tag for a second medicinal container.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2023Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: Bluesight, Inc.Inventors: Jennifer Ashley Gitchell, Timothy James Leo Kress-Spatz, Kevin William MacDonald, Nicholas Bastien Petersen, Julie Christina Meloni, Christian Lee Doyle, Michael David Waud, David Mario Pedra, Nicholas Ward Stocchero, Michael Christopher Wimpee, Steven Shyu, Mahesh Murali

Publication number: 20240223988Abstract: An acquisition section acquires a position and a rotation of a head portion of a user. A sound source data generation section generates sound source data on the basis of the position and the rotation acquired at a first time while a predetermined position is set as an origin of a three-dimensional coordinate system of a virtual space. A correction processing section applies correction processing including at least any one of a translation and a rotation of the virtual sound source in the virtual space to the sound source data at the first time on the basis of differences of the position and the rotation at the first time from the updated position and rotation at a second time after the first time. A sound generation section generates a sound to be rendered through use of the sound source data to which the correction processing has been applied.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: July 4, 2024Applicant: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Shunsuke Saito, Nicholas Ward-Foxton
