  • Publication number: 20240114463
    Abstract: A provisioning application can provide a location of an access point device so that the access point device can request provisioning of a transmit power level. The provisioning application can receive information from a user via user interface associated with the provisioning application, such as one or more location parameters, a height location, and/or an address associated with an access point device. The provisioning application provides a user with prompts and/or instructions for obtaining the information and for using an interact tool so as to indicate a boundary associated with the access point device. The one or more location parameters are updated or determined based on the boundary such that the location of the access point device can be accurately determined and transmitted to the access point device so as to be used by the access point device in receiving a transmission power level.

  • Patent number: 11743208
    Abstract: An optimizing agent of an access point device can identify traffic associated with a resource for an optimized service flow so as to provide a user an enhanced experience. The optimizing agent can identify the traffic for the optimized service flow based on one or more optimizations settings. The optimization settings can include a policy that indicates a priority level, a bandwidth, a QoS, or any other prioritization setting. A user can manage a list of resources associated with the one or more optimization settings via a user interface either hosted by a network resource or network device such that traffic associated with the resources should receive optimization.

  • Publication number: 20220323699
    Abstract: An inhaler includes a main body having a canister housing, a medicament canister retained in a central outlet port of the canister housing, and a dose counter having an actuation member for operation by movement of the medicament canister. The canister housing has an inner wall, and a first inner wall canister support formation extending inwardly from a main surface of the inner wall. The canister housing has a longitudinal axis X which passes through the center of the central outlet port. The first inner wall canister support formation, the actuation member, and the central outlet port lie in a common plane coincident with the longitudinal axis X such that the first inner wall canister support formation protects against unwanted actuation of the dose counter by reducing rocking of the medicament canister relative to the main body of the inhaler.

  • Publication number: 20220150234
    Abstract: A server application can serve a web application to a client device as a client web application from a web application host. The server application can be a secure HTTPS website. The web application on the client device can provide a token over a local network using a HTTP request to a target device on the local network. The token is associated with a secure area of a remote repository. Having received the one or more tokens, the target device can indicate that a link has been established to the secure area by writing to or reading from the secure area as the server application informs the client web application executing in a browser at a client device of the read/write. The target device and client web application can then communicate via the secure area, for example, to store or retrieve data associated with a user.

  • Patent number: 10086156
    Abstract: A dose counter for a metered dose inhaler includes an incremental counting system for counting doses. The incremental counting system has a main body, an actuator arranged to be driven in response to canister motion and to drive an incremental output member in response to canister motion. The actuator and incremental output member are configured to have predetermined canister fire and count configurations in a canister fire sequence. The canister fire configuration is determined by a position of the actuator relative to a datum at which the canister fires medicament and the count configuration is determined by a position of the actuator relative to the datum at which the incremental count system makes an incremental count. The actuator is arranged to reach a position in the count configuration at or after a position in the canister fire configuration.
