  • Patent number: 12065163
    Abstract: A device may receive emergency data, traffic data, network performance data, crime data, and gunshot data associated with a geographical area and may identify a location within the geographical area based on the emergency data, the traffic data, the network performance data, the crime data, and the gunshot data. The device may determine, based on the emergency data, the traffic data, the network performance data, the crime data, and the gunshot data for the location, a risk level for the location and may identify an autonomous vehicle based on the risk level, the traffic data, and the network performance data for the location. The device may determine a route for the autonomous vehicle to the location based on the traffic data and the network performance data for the location, and may perform actions based on the autonomous vehicle and the route.

  • Publication number: 20230397006
    Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an per-session validation with secure connection and authentication service. The service may include the installation of a client after an end device completes a primary authentication and registration procedure with a core network. The client and an enforcement device may establish a secure and encrypted session via which packet data unit (PDU) session requests may be approved or denied based on network access polices associated with the end device. An enforcement orchestration service may configure enforcement devices and obtain encryption keys from the core network for use by the enforcement device.

  • Patent number: 11526852
    Abstract: A system dynamically assigns spaces to users. The system acquires scheduling information for users and identified times when one of the spaces should be assigned to a group of the users (e.g., when a meeting is scheduled). The system may select the space based on the size of the group. The users wear smart identifier (ID) badges that transmit short-range communications signals. A detector detects the signals and may forward a notification to the system identifying the users' locations. The system dynamically re-assigns the space to different users if more than a threshold portion of the group members are, based on the determined locations, not expected to reach the reserved space at the scheduled time. The system assigns a different space to the group that is closer to the determined locations and/or more appropriately sized for the number of available group members.

  • Patent number: 10661795
    Abstract: A device can receive data related to a roadway. The data can include video data of the roadway. The device can determine a pixel area of objects shown in the video data. The device can determine that a vehicle and an individual are associated with the roadway at a same time. The device can determine a protective zone around the individual based on a first pixel area of the individual. The protective zone can be associated with detecting a potential collision between the vehicle and the individual. The device can determine a first location and movement of the vehicle relative to a second location and movement of the individual. The device can predict that a second pixel area of the vehicle is to intersect the protective zone of the individual. The device can detect the potential collision. The device can perform one or more actions.

  • Patent number: 9919638
    Abstract: A mobile service building including a towable rigid frame, the frame configured to be lowered and raised by a hydraulic lift coupled to wheels and a tongue. A building is attached to the frame, the building having walls, a floor, a ceiling and a door in one of the walls, and includes an opening in the floor of the building. A downwardly facing camera is attached to the building, looking downwardly through the opening in the floor and being configured such that a driver can determine when the opening is positioned over a predetermined location.

  • Patent number: 9272432
    Abstract: An apparatus for cutting expanded fibrous and soft foam materials has a linear clamping feature with an integrated blade guide, suspended in a position to allow unobstructed travel of a cutting blade. Compression and cutting features are separated so that the cutting blade is protected from undue wear, cuts are consistent and uniform, and the apparatus is safe to use.

  • Patent number: 6934588
    Abstract: A pacemaker has a metallic housing with a connector arrangement adapted to receive a contact plug, with contact surfaces, at the proximal end of an electrode lead. The connector arrangement includes a metallic tubular member with opposite ends which are welded or bonded to respective openings in the metallic housing. The metallic tubular member is substantially continuous along its length between the opposite ends. All components which are needed for making electrical contact with the contact surfaces of the lead are contained within the interior of the metallic tubular member.

  • Patent number: 6327502
    Abstract: An implantable heart stimulator has a connector for an electrode lead in the form of a self-contained tubular connector, which can be placed as a unit in one-half shell of a stimulator housing, together with a hybrid circuit and a power source. The other half shell of the stimulator housing can then simply be placed over these assembled components and joined thereto by welding, thereby considerably simplifying manufacture and assembly of the stimulator. When an even number of such self-contained connector tubes is employed, the two stimulator housing half shells can be identical.

  • Patent number: 5344432
    Abstract: An implantable medical device, such as a heart pacemaker, or defibrillator, has a welded capsule housing which is filled with a gas mixture containing helium, the helium permitting the detection of leaks in the capsule housing. To improve the electrical insulating properties, the remaining gas of the mixture is selected from a group of gases having electrically insulating properties, such as nitrogen, sulfur hexafluoride, carbon dioxide, or halogenated hydrocarbons.
