  • Patent number: 12165763
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240223988
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11536409
    Abstract: A connector assembly has a connector body to receive a spigot. The connector body includes a mechanism to retain the spigot in the connector body. A fluid transfer conduit is coupled with the connector body. A heating element extends through the fluid transfer conduit and into the connector body and spigot, when the spigot is retained by the connector body. The heating element heats the spigot and the connector body from the inside.

  • Patent number: 11305894
    Abstract: An aircraft includes a turbine engine, a vibration sensor, and a processor. The vibration sensor is attached to the turbine engine and is configured to output a vibration sensor signal. The processor is programmed to determine whether the vibration sensor signal indicates that fan case liner damage has occurred due to icing conditions. The processor is further programmed to indicate that a fan case inspection should be conducted in response to the vibration sensor signal indicating that fan case liner damage has occurred.
