  • Publication number: 20240310977
    Abstract: A script to generate a preloaded version of a customized graphical user interface (GUI) is received from a third party platform and at a user device. Responsive to a user request to create a new electronic document, the script to generate the preloaded version of the customized GUI displaying a first instance of the new electronic document is executed. A user interaction with the preloaded version of the customized GUI is identified. Responsive to identifying the user interaction with the preloaded version of the customized GUI, a request to obtain a customized GUI to replace the preloaded version of the customized GUI is sent to a cloud-based storage system.

  • Publication number: 20230404479
    Abstract: A vein imager includes: two photodetectors, a first and second lasers configured to respectively emit an infrared beam of light and a human-visible beam of light; a combiner to coaxially align the two beams; and a scanner that scans the coaxial beam in a pattern and onto a skin surface of a patient. The first photodetector receives the infrared wavelength reflected from the patient as a contrasted image of subcutaneous veins, and surface reflection noise due to skin surface topology, and outputs a first signal representing that contrasted image of subcutaneous veins and noise due to skin surface topology. The second photo detector receives the human-visible wavelength reflected from the skin surface and outputs a second signal representing a contrasted image of the topology. The second signal is subtracted from the first signal to remove the noise, permitting projection of a surface-noise-free vein image onto the skin surface.

  • Patent number: 11795091
    Abstract: A system for preheating batch materials includes a preheater, a charger, a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, a valve, and a charger temperature controller. A first recirculation duct provides exhaust fluids from the charger to a second recirculation duct coupled to an inlet of the preheater. The first temperature sensor is configured to generate a first temperature signal indicative of a first temperature of fluids within the second recirculation duct and the second temperature sensor is configured to generate a second temperature signal indicative of a second temperature of the fluids within the second recirculation duct upstream of where the first temperature is obtained. The valve is configured to control an amount of fluid in the second recirculation duct that is diverted to the charger and the charger temperature controller is configured to control the valve responsive to the first and second temperatures.

  • Patent number: 11484260
    Abstract: The present invention is a Miniature Vein Enhancer, for use in imaging the subcutaneous veins of a target area of a patient by a practitioner. The miniature vein enhancer includes a Miniature Projection Head that is secured to a tourniquet, where the tourniquet may be mounted to the bicep of a patient. The Miniature Projection Head includes a housing, and apparatus that images subcutaneous veins of the target area, and projects the image(s) of the veins onto the target area to overlie the subcutaneous veins, which aids the practitioner in pinpointing a vein location for a venipuncture procedure such as an intravenous drip, blood test, and the like.

  • Patent number: 11358896
    Abstract: A system for preheating batch materials in a glass melting furnace includes a preheater having an outlet through which fluid is exhausted and an inlet that receives fluids exhausted from the furnace and recirculated from the preheater outlet. In one embodiment, a cyclonic separator has an inlet in communication with the preheater outlet and an outlet in fluid communication with a fan. A controller controls the speed of the fan responsive to a drop in pressure between the separator inlet and outlet and a temperature at the separator outlet. In other embodiments, controllers control valves that (i) control the amount of fluids exhausted from the preheater that are delivered to a flue and recirculated to the preheater or (ii) control the amount of fluids diverted to charger for the furnace, in response to temperatures in a duct coupled to the preheater inlet.
