  • Publication number: 20240366446
    Abstract: A patient support apparatus, such as a bed, cot, stretcher, etc., includes a control panel having a touchscreen display adapted to display a plurality of screens thereon. A controller automatically displays a lock screen on the display after a period of non-use and prevents the user from navigating to a different screen until the user drags a slider icon across the display and thereafter continues to press down on the slider icon for a predetermined time period. The controller may alternatively, or additionally, be adapted to display a litter frame tilt angle on the lock screen. The controller may alternatively, or additionally, display a motion control screen that includes a first lock indicator when a first motion control is in a locked state, and that adds a second lock indicator when a user presses on the first motion control while it is in the locked state.

  • Patent number: 12097800
    Abstract: A visual front alert system attached to a vehicle windshield for instructing observers as to movement of the vehicle. A strip shaped body incorporates a plurality of illuminating elements communicating with a PCBA. An accelerometer connected to the PCBA, with a power supply operating the accelerometer and PCBA. In response to a determined acceleration of the structure, the accelerometer inputting a signal to the PCBA representative of the vehicle movement and the PCBA in turn providing an output signal causing illuminating elements to generate a visual output corresponding to said input signal. The visual output further includes a first output representative of a steady or accelerating motion of the vehicle and a second output further representative of a decelerating or braking condition of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12081818
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing protected content to subscribers of a managed (e.g., MSO) network via a content source accessible via an internetwork such as the Internet. In one embodiment, a user accesses a programmer website website, and requests content. The programmer determines whether the requesting user is permitted to access the content, and what rights or restrictions are associated with the user. This includes authenticating the user as a subscriber of the MSO, and determining the subscriber's subscription level. In another embodiment, a user's account with the MSO and programmer may be federated, thus a given user will have MSO-specific information regarding its identity (such as login information, GUID, etc.) and/or information regarding subscription level and service details, stored at the programmer. Messages received from the MSO representing permission for the user to access content may also be stored at the programmer site for later reference.

  • Publication number: 20240272959
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically creating multiple isolated partitions in a multi-core processing system have been described. For example, an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an integrated circuit may include: a plurality of routers configured to provide a mesh network among a plurality of muti-cluster tiles (MCTs), where each MCT comprises a plurality of processing cores, and a control circuit coupled to the plurality of routers, where the control circuit is configured to control at least one of the plurality of routers to enable or disable at least a portion of the mesh network to create, among the plurality of processing cores, isolated partitions of processing cores.

  • Publication number: 20240272978
    Abstract: Systems and methods for debugging multi-core processors with configurable isolated partitions have been described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an integrated circuit, may include: a plurality of Cross-Trigger Matrices (CTMs) configured to establish a debug network among a plurality of multi-cluster tiles (MCTs), where each MCT includes a plurality of processor cores, and where each processor core is assigned to a respective isolated partition of processor cores; and a System Interface (SI) coupled to the plurality of CTMs, where the SI is configured to control the plurality of CTMs to enable or disable at least a portion of the debug network to allow an isolated partition to be debugged independently of another isolated partition. A method may include enabling or disabling, by the SI, buses between the MCTs to create isolated debug networks, each isolated debug network corresponding to a distinct isolated partition of processor cores.

  • Patent number: 11831955
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing protected content to subscribers of a managed (e.g., MSO) network via a content source accessible via an internetwork such as the Internet. In one embodiment, a user accesses a service provider portal (e.g., website), and requests content. The service provider determines whether the requesting user is permitted to access the content, and what rights or restrictions are associated with the user. This includes authenticating the user as a subscriber of the MSO, and determining the subscriber's subscription level. In another embodiment, a user's account with the MSO and service provider may be federated, thus a given user will have MSO-specific information regarding its identity (such as login information, GUID, etc.) and is able to perform a single sign on to request and receive content.
