  • Publication number: 20240280472
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for analyzing a blood sample. The method comprises arranging a cuvette comprising a sampling cavity and a sample analysis cavity on a rotatable member. The sampling cavity comprises a blood sample to be analyzed. The method comprises rotating the rotatable member at a first speed in a first rotation cycle for transfer of the blood sample from the sampling cavity to the sample analysis cavity. The method comprises rotating the rotatable member at a second speed in a second rotation cycle after the first rotation cycle for separating blood parts from plasma in the blood sample. The method comprises obtaining, using a photometer, during the second rotation cycle, second absorbance data indicative of absorbance in the plasma. The method comprises determining, based on the second absorbance data, a second blood parameter being a plasma free hemoglobin level of the blood sample. The method comprises providing an output indicative of the second blood parameter.

  • Patent number: 11813913
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a desired speed of a vehicle (1), preferably an autonomous vehicle. The vehicle comprises a shock absorber arrangement (2), preferably an hydraulic shock absorber arrangement, having an elastic hysteresis. The method comprises—obtaining (501) a reference value indicative of the energy dissipated by the shock absorber arrangement (2) in a reference driving condition of a vehicle and—determining (502) a speed of the vehicle for which the value indicative of the energy dissipated by the shock absorber arrangement (2) in a similar driving condition is expected to fall within a predetermined energy dissipation range, using said reference value.

  • Patent number: 11748643
    Abstract: A framework system and method for developing hybrid voice/video QoE predictors, which use both network/codec/client parameters as well as the voice/video reference sample(s). The prediction model/algorithm uses deep packet inspection to produce relevant input and therefore the network's impact on the voice/video QoE can be determined without recording actual media (voice/video) content. Therefore, the QoE predictors are neither solely media based as available perceptual metrics, nor available parametric based. The present hybrid voice/video QoE uses the reference/original media information, unlike prior art hybrid video only QoE which use the recorded media (video only).

  • Patent number: 11516426
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, computer program product, and method perform controlled video recording of video captured by a camera. The method includes checking by recorder circuitry of receipt of a ping signal sent from a server to the recorder, the ping signal being expected to be received by the recorder circuitry within a predetermined time interval after an earlier ping signal was received (or when an initial ping signal was expected to be received), in response to a determination by the recorder circuitry of not receiving the ping signal, entering an autonomous recording mode, the autonomous recording mode including recording video provided from at least one camera, and continuing operation of the autonomous recording mode until at least one of receiving another ping signal by the recorder circuitry, or receiving a control signal from the server that directs the recorder to stop recording the video provided from the at least one camera.

  • Patent number: 11433731
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a functional status of a vehicle shock absorber arrangement (100). The method determines a difference between force values during compression and expansion of the vehicle shock absorber arrangement (100), whereby the shock absorber arrangement (100) can be determined to be degraded if the difference is below a predetermined threshold.
