Patent number: 10964198Abstract: Network-connected (i.e., “smart”) containers are described herein that include an electronic display on which personalized information can be presented. For example, the electronic display (and other necessary components, such as memory, processors, and communication modules) can be integrated into the cap or the body of a container, which holds a skin care product (e.g., a medication or a personal care product, such as a cosmetic) that is applied by the user as part of a skin care regimen. More specifically, a smart container can include an electronic display that presents relevant information to a user for review. Such information can include the name of the skin care product, textual instructions for complying with a skin care regimen, animations illustrating how to apply the skin care product, user information, messages (e.g., text messages delivered via a cloud service), notifications, and device information (e.g., battery status and network connectivity status).Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: KALI CARE, INC.Inventors: Sina Fateh, Navid Afsarifard, Philippe Cailloux

Publication number: 20200121500Abstract: Introduced here are universal modular attachments that can be attached to medication containers. Because a single modular attachment is typically attachable to medication containers of different sizes, the modular attachment can be referred to as a “universal modular attachment.” For example, some universal modular attachments are attachable to any cylindrical eye drop container having a diameter ranging from 20 millimeters (mm) to 27 mm. A connector ring that substantially matches the diameter of the medication container secures the universal modular attachment to the medication container. The connector ring may be fixedly affixed to the medication container, while the universal modular attachment may be detachably connectable to the connector ring. Each universal modular attachment also includes sensor(s) that are configured to detect administrations of medication.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventors: Sina Fateh, Philippe Cailloux

Patent number: 10617605Abstract: Arrangements are provided for “smart” functionality such as for tracking medication use to determine adherence, without requiring smart containers therefor. A bin is provided for receiving used/empty containers, packaging, or other discarded material incidental to the use of the medication. Sensors generate signals when the material is deposited within the bin, and a processor determines whether those signals correspond with the incidental material of interest. The processor also may identify when signals correspond with other, spurious material deposited in the bin. Responsive to a positive correspondence, a contextual event such as deposition of a used vial is stored, displayed, communicated, and/or otherwise registered. Contextual events, times therefor, lack of same, etc. are considered to provide authenticated determinations of adherence to a medication regimen.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2019Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: KALI CARE, INC.Inventors: Sina Fateh, Philippe Cailloux, Navid Nick Afsarifard, Abhijit Kalamkar, Michael Lamberty

Publication number: 20200095055Abstract: A body is configured to accept a medication container in a container cavity defined therein. The body may approximate a half-cylinder with the container disposed in the concavity, and held in place with flexure tabs or other restraints. A force sensor is disposed on the interior of the body in communication with the container cavity and container. Dispensing force applied to the container from the body side do not reach the container to dispense medication; dispensing force applied from the open side do, and also cause the container to press against the force sensor. This indirect, transmitted force is detected with the force sensor, and the force data is evaluated in a processor. In response to the force data corresponding with dispensing medication, the processor registers a medication event, such as by storing the event, displaying the event, or communicating the event to a third party.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2018Publication date: March 26, 2020Inventors: Philippe Cailloux, Abhijit Kalamkar, Navid Nick Afsarifard, Seungju Baek

Publication number: 20190103179Abstract: Sensors may be engaged with a container to provide data on how the container is manipulated. Data traces from those sensors exhibit signatures of events such as opening the container, dispensing medication, etc. Such medication events and contextual events provide authenticated data on the use of medication, as distinct from self-reported or predicted/modeled data. Multiple signatures may be combined to determine a confidence level for whether a medication has been taken, and/or aspects such as when, how, how much, etc. A container may be retrofitted by engaging a shoe containing sensors with the bottom of the container. Authenticated data may support improved selection and oversight of research subjects to reduce cost, time, etc. of clinical trials. Authenticated data also may support improved patient outcome. Pools of subjects and patients may be developed to inform selection of subjects and prescription of medications to patients.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Inventors: Sina Fateh, Philippe Cailloux, Navid Nick Afsarifard

Patent number: 6784886Abstract: A method is provided of associating objects on a non-linear contour according to one or more corresponding values. The method includes assigning a value to each object in a set of one or more objects, providing a starting point and an end point on a non-linear contour, graduating points on the non-linear contour covering a range of values inclusive of the values associated with each of the objects, and associating each object in the set of objects along the non-linear contour according to the value assigned to the object and the corresponding value associated with a point along the non-linear contour.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2000Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventor: Philippe Cailloux

Patent number: 4180801Abstract: The invention is characterized by the use of electronic scanners independently controlled by a control unit, said scanners cyclically scanning in an autonomous manner the matrices of the contacts which are assigned to them and the control unit cyclically observing the scanners so that when a scanner detects the change in state of a contact, the control unit collects from said scanner the georgraphical data of this contact and causes, during a determined time the display of the number of said contact and possibly signals the category to which it belongs. This signalling can also, according to its category, be accomplished by an acoustic alarm.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1977Date of Patent: December 25, 1979Assignee: Compagnie Industrielle des Telecommunications Cit-AlcatelInventor: Philippe Cailloux

Patent number: 4076967Abstract: The invention concerns the connection of functional units. A trunking arrement is disclosed which permits the linking of minority units of the same type in several blocks of units, to other units allocated to that type and grouped in a single block of units. The minority connections from minority units of distinct types, are grouped into relaying links and relayed by said links to a wiring structure, which reassembles the connections pertaining to units of one and the same type in regrouping links. Application of the invention is in the field of telecommunications.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1976Date of Patent: February 28, 1978Assignee: Compagnie Industrielle des Telecommunications Cit-Alcatel S.
