  • Publication number: 20220096856
    Abstract: We describe an optical and magnetic stimulation, OMS, wound therapy device comprising: a light source configured to generate an optical field for an OMS wound therapy; an electric circuit coupled to the light source for driving the light source to generate the optical field; a coil configured to generate a magnetic field for the OMS wound therapy; and a magnetic field shield arranged between the coil on the one hand and the light source and electric circuit on the other hand, and wherein the magnetic field shield is configured to shield the electric circuit and the light source from the magnetic field generated by the coil.

  • Patent number: 10555123
    Abstract: Methods and systems for service transfer are disclosed. An example method can comprise receiving a service at a first/current user device, detecting a movement of the first user device, determining a direction of the movement, and requesting the service be provided to a second/target user device in the direction of the movement. Service can be a communication session, network access, video service, audio service, short message service, multimedia message service, and the like. The movement of a user device can be detected by one or more sensors implemented in the user device. For example, to enable a service transfer, a user can point the first user device to a second user device. The pointing can be achieved, for example, by moving the first user device to the direction of the second user device at certain speed.

  • Publication number: 20150026769
    Abstract: A process for managing usage on a broadband network, said process comprising: (a) monitoring a subscriber's broadband usage; (b) determining if said usage rises to a level indicative of an event; (c) determining if said event is consistent with heavy usage or with a security incident; (d) if said event is consistent with heavy usage, offering said subscriber at least one of a plan for an upgraded subscription, or an incentive to concentrate usage in nonpeak time; and (e) if said event is consistent with a security incident, exercising security measures to minimize unintended usage.
