  • Patent number: 11956519
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to signal grouping types in an image container file. Relative to the construction of an image container file, the method, apparatus and computer program product construct an image container file having a group box with a grouping type associated with burst-captured images, time-synchronized images captured by a plurality of image capture devices or an image item associated with an audio track. With respect to the processing of an image container file, the method, apparatus and computer program product permit an image container file having a group box with a grouping type associated with one of burst-captured images, time-synchronized images captured by a plurality of image capture devices or an image item associated with an audio track to be processed to cause one or more image items from the image container file to be rendered in accordance with the grouping type.

  • Patent number: 11925441
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for determining blood pressure based on morphological features of pulses are described. A system may include a wearable device that uses one or more light emitting components configured to emit light, one or more photodetectors configured to receive light, and a controller that couples the one or more light emitting components to the one or more photodetectors. The wearable device may transmit lights associated with multiple wavelengths, and acquire photoplethysmogram (PPG) data that includes one or more PPG waveforms associated with the respective wavelengths. The system may determine respective sets of morphological features associated with each of the PPG waveforms based on systolic and diastolic peaks corresponding to the heartbeat of the user. The system may determine one or more blood pressure metrics for the user based at least in part on a comparison of the respective sets of morphological features.

  • Patent number: 7038405
    Abstract: A method and a system for controlling parallel-connected frequency converters or inverter units feeding an alternating-current motor (MOTOR1) provided with parallel windings or separate parallel motors having their shafts mechanically coupled together via a load, in which method the current supplied to the motor is measured. The frequency converters/inverter units are connected to each other via a data bus, e.g. a fast serial bus, and one of the frequency converters/inverter units (FCON1 or INU1) functions as a master device in such manner that it sends to the other device/devices (FCON2 or INU2) information over the data bus regarding the instantaneous value of the current (IW1) fed by it to the motor, said other devices functioning as follower devices so that they adjust their own current (IW2) on the basis of the current of the master device.

  • Patent number: 6307445
    Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for forming an impedance match of transmission lines. The circuit arrangement includes a control state (11), a dynamic input impedance formed by resistances and a transformer (13) provided with primary and secondary coils. The control stage (11) and the input impedance are connected to the poles of the transformer's (13) secondary coil, and transmission lines having mutually different characteristic impedances are connected one at a time to the poles of the transformer's (13) primary coil. According to the invention, the circuit arrangement is characterised in that for forming a resistive input impedance the circuit arrangement includes a processor (15) and means (14) for implementing the match.

  • Patent number: 4347795
    Abstract: An improved shelf assembly including at least one pair of shelf support devices each having a threaded end extending through separate openings formed in a rear plate and through separate openings formed in a pair of hanging devices positioned adjacent to said rear plate. Each shelf support device includes a cleft sufficient in size to receive an end portion of a shelf extending between the support devices. Nuts mounted on the threaded end portions lock the support devices, rear plate and hanging devices together, while plugs mounted on the opposite end of each support device lock the shelf in place.
