Patent number: 11931134Abstract: The present invention relates to a device, system and method for improved non-invasive and objective detection of pulse of a subject. The device comprises an input unit (2a) configured to obtain a series of images of a skin region of the subject and a processing unit (2b) for processing said series of images by detecting pulse-related motion of the skin within the skin region from the series of images, generating a motion map of the skin region from the detected pulse-related motion, comparing the generated motion map with an expected motion map of the skin region, and determining the presence of pulse within the skin region based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Kiran Hamilton J. Dellimore, Mukul Julius Rocque, Ralph Wilhelm Christianus Gemma Rosa Wijshoff, Jens Muehlsteff

Patent number: 9760860Abstract: A system and method for automating the performance of substitute fulfillment. The system includes a server which receives absentee information representing an absent worker via a telephone communication link or an Internet communication link. In response to receiving the absentee information, the system generates a list of potential substitute workers. The system then contacts potential substitute workers until one is found or until the list is exhausted. The system can also post a list of positions that are available on a website allowing potential substitute workers to search for a position.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2012Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: FRONTLINE TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LLCInventors: Roland R.

Patent number: 4090941Abstract: Methods and apparatus for depositing a coating material on an underlying substrate are disclosed. Cathode sputtering techniques for rapidly depositing a relatively thick coating on a substrate having a complex geometry are developed. The apparatus employed includes a sputtering chamber formed between a center, post cathode and a hollow, cylindrical cathode. In one embodiment a magnetic field is imposed upon the sputtering chamber to concentrate the sputtered coating material in a preferred region.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1977Date of Patent: May 23, 1978Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Robert Joseph Wright, James Roy Mullaly, Ralph Julius Hecht

Patent number: 4034142Abstract: Coatings are described which are particularly suited for the protection of nickel and cobalt superalloy articles at elevated temperatures. The protective nature of the coatings is due to the formation of an alumina layer on the surface of the coating which serves to reduce oxidation/corrosion. The coatings contain aluminum, chromium, yttrium (or other oxygen active elements) and a metal chosen from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt and iron or mixtures thereof. The coatings further contain a controlled percentage of silicon which serves to greatly improve the protection afforded by the alumina film to the surface of the coating.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1975Date of Patent: July 5, 1977Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventor: Ralph Julius Hecht
