  • Publication number: 20170093659
    Abstract: Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. A controller area network (CAN) device includes a compare module configured to interface with a CAN transceiver, the compare module having a receive data (RXD) interface configured to receive data from the CAN transceiver, a CAN decoder configured to decode an identifier of a CAN message received from the RXD interface, and an identifier memory configured to store an entry that corresponds to at least one identifier, and compare logic configured to compare a received identifier from a CAN message to the entry that is stored in the identifier memory and to output a match signal when the comparison indicates that the received identifier of the CAN message matches the entry that is stored at the CAN device. The CAN device also includes a signal generator configured to output, in response to the match signal, a signal to invalidate the CAN message.

  • Publication number: 20170088321
    Abstract: A closure comprising a spout and a lid is secured to a wide mouthed container body, particularly a low tolerance HDPE container, by means of a plurality of double sided foil strips that are punched and welded to the base preferably in orientations parallel to one another on opposite sides of the opening and/or at right angles to each other. The strips are secondarily welded to the container to form a childproof, tamper-evident connection superior to mechanical latches and uses less material than a full or donut foil.

  • Publication number: 20170071492
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for processing measurement data from electrocardiogram, ECG, electrodes on a subject. The method includes obtaining a 3D anatomical model of the torso of the subject, and obtaining a 3D image of the torso of the subject. The three dimensional image is aligned with the three-dimensional model. A position of each electrode in the three-dimensional model is determined from the three dimensional image. The positions of the electrodes in the three dimensional model are used for estimating the distribution, fluctuation and/or movement of electrical activity through heart tissue.

  • Patent number: 9568578
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging scan using a MR scanner receives via a user interface a MR imaging protocol categorizable into a MR scan type of a predefined set of MR scan types. Further, a database is queried by providing to the database scan information permitting the database to identify the MR scan type of the MR imaging protocol. Statistical information on the MR scan type which can include statistics on modifications of individual scan parameters of the MR scan type is received from a database, and the statistical information is provided to the user interface. Modifications of the MR imaging protocol can be received from the user interface, resulting in a modified MR imaging protocol, according to which the MR imaging scan can be performed.

  • Publication number: 20170011197
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for providing a representation of synchronicity of electrical activation of heart tissue. The method includes obtaining a three-dimensional model of electrical activation of the heart. The three-dimensional model includes a mesh with a plurality of nodes, each node having associated therewith a time delay between stimulation of the heart at a stimulation site and activation of the heart at that respective node. For each node a stimulus site is defined at the location of that node. For each node a modified three-dimensional model of electrical activation of the heart resulting from stimulation at that node is determined. For each node a measure for heart activation synchronicity for the heart based on stimulation at that node is determined. A heart synchronicity map is determined representing a three-dimensional model of the heart, indicating at each node the respective measure for heart activation synchronicity.

  • Patent number: 9544226
    Abstract: Aspects and implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a network device. The network device includes memory for storing a first dataset comprising first data structures, a second dataset comprising second data structures, and a set of Boolean values. Each first data structure includes an address and a corresponding instruction parameter. Each second data structure includes an address prefix and at least one intermediary value. Each Boolean value corresponds to a respective address prefix and indicates whether the second dataset includes a second data structure with the respective address prefix. The network device is configured to identify a first address and a first address prefix for a first data packet, identify one or more intermediary values for the first address prefix using the set of Boolean values, and identify a packet processing instruction parameter using the one or more identified intermediary values.

  • Patent number: 9529201
    Abstract: An example of a waterproof hinge and button configuration for a head mounted device is provided. A magnet may be attached to the button, and a sensor may be positioned adjacent to the button to detect movement of the button. For example, the sensor may detect when the button is fully pressed, partially pressed, or not pressed at all by the level of magnetic flux density detected by the sensor. In addition, the sensor may detect an opened or closed position of the hinge based on the magnetic field polarity of the magnet. Due to the implementation of the sensor, the electrical components of the button are able to be removed so as to make the button-hinge configuration waterproof.

  • Patent number: 9526148
    Abstract: An exemplary system comprises a power regulator and an emitting apparatus. The emitting apparatus is typically attached to or integrated with a display object, such as a merchandise package or container. A support structure, such as a point of purchase display, typically contains or supports one or more power regulators and display objects. The power regulator comprises a controller and a primary inductor, and the controller is adapted to provide a voltage or current to the primary inductor to generate a first primary inductor voltage. The emitting apparatus comprises an illumination source and a secondary inductor coupled to the illumination source. The illumination source is adapted to emit visible light when the power regulator is in an on state and when the secondary inductor is within a predetermined distance of the primary inductor. In exemplary embodiments, the first and second inductors are substantially planar.
