  • Publication number: 20240065579
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method. The method comprises processing, by at least one computing device, exercise measurements taken by a pressure sensor positioned adjacent to a pelvic floor muscle (PFM) of a person at least during performance of a physical exercise, wherein the exercise measurements are indicative of a pressure exerted on the pressure sensor and an orientation of the sensor. The method also comprises calibrating, by the at least one computing device, the pressure of the processed exercise measurements at least based on the orientation of the processed exercise measurements.

  • Publication number: 20230181892
    Abstract: The present invention applies to tubes and probes and catheters for invasive airway management, more specifically to a kit comprising two devices for sealing the tubes and/or probes and/or endotracheal catheters for gases, aerosols, droplets and secretions from patients. The present invention describes an Endotracheal Tube Barrier Kit with sealing cap attached to a clamp for use in advanced airway management procedures consisting of two devices, one for sealing and one for “clamping” the tube, coupled together. The kit consists of the following components: sealing device and occluder clamp. Illustratively, to understand more clearly the use of the Barrier Kit, the tube devices, connector and guide wire are also shown.

  • Publication number: 20220377594
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for managing the connections of multiple stations in a Wi-Fi mesh network, using station steering to optimize the overall throughput of the network. The stations are proactively steered depending on the link quality, the network topology and wireless medium occupation, as well as the different equipment capabilities, to ultimately provide the best available throughput. This invention also aims to detect crowded Access Points or frequency bands, and steer stations accordingly towards an efficient load control and traffic management between nodes/Access Points and improved quality of experience.

  • Publication number: 20210248839
    Abstract: A system for controlling a clock device is provided. The system includes a clock device in communication with a remote computing device. The remote device is configured to adjust the time of a countdown and define an adjusted time value. The remote device communicates the adjusted time to the clock device, which automatically displays the adjusted time on a screen. The adjusted time is further communicated to a cloud server via API. The adjusted time is accessible by authorized third parties for display or broadcast. Accordingly, a user may adjust and track a countdown and may define an official time that is automatically displayed to a variety of end-users in real-time. The clock device may be positioned adjacent a competition area and may include a rigid metal frame and a flexible LED screen extending around the perimeter of the frame. The clock device may include hardware and software for processing and outputting the adjusted time to the cloud server.

  • Patent number: 8234100
    Abstract: A method of simulating an information technology (IT) system to produce parametric data includes translating specifications of the IT system from a first modeling language to a second modeling language; incorporating component constraints into the translated specifications; simulating operation of the IT system based on the translated specifications and the component constraints; and generating a report of parametric data based on the simulation.
