  • Patent number: 11955236
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for patient device management. In one implementation, interrogation data is received from a cardiac implantable electronic device corresponding to an interrogation for a patient. The interrogation data includes device data for the cardiac implantable electronic device and patient specific data for the patient. The interrogation data is normalized into manufacturer independent interrogation data. The manufacturer independent interrogation data is associated with a permitted user. A processing status is assigned to the interrogation using the manufacturer independent interrogation data. The interrogation is aggregated into a category based on the processing status, and the category is associated with an action by the permitted user.

  • Patent number: 11948680
    Abstract: Systems and methods include a cardiac device advisory management platform to receive and distribute data related to advisory notification(s) for an implanted cardiac device. Advisory notification data includes a device identifier and/or a lead identifier corresponding to the advisory notification. Upon receiving the advisory notification data, the clinic matches the device identifier and/or the lead identifier with patient data for patients enrolled with the clinic. One or more action indicators for various workflow procedures are generated and presented at a clinic user interface (UI) of the clinic device. Clinician inputs are received via the clinic UI to perform steps in response to the advisory notification, such as reviewing patient information, scheduling an in-office visit, and/or sending a notification to a patient device. A clinic behavior analysis is performed on the clinician inputs to generate information regarding the impact of the advisory notifications on the clinic workflow procedures.

  • Patent number: 11939828
    Abstract: An electric driven hydraulic fracking system is disclosed. A pump configuration that includes the single VFD, the single shaft electric motor, and the single hydraulic pump that is mounted on the single pump trailer. A pump configuration includes a single VFD configuration, the single shaft electric motor, and the single shaft hydraulic pump mounted on the single pump trailer. The single VFD configuration converts the electric power at the power generation voltage level distributed from the power distribution trailer to a VFD voltage level and drives the single shaft electric motor to control the operation of the single shaft electric motor and the single hydraulic pump. The VFD voltage level is a voltage level that is required to drive the single shaft electric motor. The VFD configuration also controls operation of the auxiliary systems based on the electric power at the auxiliary voltage level.

  • Publication number: 20240037318
    Abstract: A pointer is set to a first code unit of an original string that encodes characters via code units within an encoding scheme. Whether the code unit of the original string referenced by the pointer is valid within the encoding scheme is determined. If the code unit referenced by the pointer is valid, one or more code units of the original string that encode a single character within the encoding scheme are processed, starting at the code unit referenced by the pointer. The one or more code units as have been processed are appended to a processed string. A single shadow unit indicating that the one or more code units that have been processed are valid is appended to a shadow array. The pointer is advanced to the code unit of the original string following the one or more code units.

  • Publication number: 20230281345
    Abstract: A method of managing proxy objects within CAD Models by attaching Meta Data to each Proxy and HD Object and translating 2D coordinates into 3D coordinates from within a 3D CAD model with additional data being added through a 360 viewer. The method enables the user to programmatically swap one Proxy Object with one or more HD Objects. All Proxy Objects and HD Objects are stored in a secure database structure while providing access by users to the proxy objects and all related product information. Non-technical and non-CAD users can configure objects within a space by selecting an object, browsing a catalog of possible alternative objects, viewing specific product details and then selecting the object to replace the selected object. Once a new object is selected, a photo realistic 360 image of a scene is created in real time.
