  • Patent number: 11948475
    Abstract: A system and method for training a student employ a simulation station that displays output to the student and receives input. The computer system has a rules engine operating on it and computer accessible data storage storing (i) learning object data including learning objects configured to provide interaction with the student at the simulation system and (ii) rule data defining a plurality of rules accessed by the rules engine. The rules data includes, for each rule, respective (a) if-portion data defining a condition of data and (b) then-portion data defining an action to be performed at the simulation station. The rules engine causes the computer system to perform the action when the condition of data is present in the data storage. For at least some of the rules, the action comprises output of one of the learning objects so as to interact with the student. The system may be networked with middleware and adapters that map data received over the network to rules engine memory.

  • Patent number: 11933560
    Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to methods and apparatus for firearm safety mechanisms, visual safety indicators, and related techniques. A firearm includes a handle comprising one or more buttons disposed at least partially within a surface of the handle, such that the one or more buttons can be in contact with an operator's hand when the operator grasps the handle; a safety mechanism in mechanical communication with the trigger. The safety mechanism comprises: a first position that blocks actuation of the trigger; and a second position that does not block actuation of the trigger; and at least one processor configured to: upon determining an input code matches a stored code, transmits a signal to the safety mechanism to change the safety mechanism from the first position to the second position so that the firearm can be fired by the operator.

  • Publication number: 20240081994
    Abstract: A steerable delivery system is provided for delivering a replacement heart valve to a native heart valve location. The steerable delivery system includes an outer sheath assembly having a capsule along a distal end portion for retaining the replacement heart valve in a compressed configuration. The capsule is constructed to provide both compression resistance and flexibility. The capsule may be formed with an outer polymer layer, a metal middle layer located on a radially inner surface of the outer polymer layer, and an inner liner located on a radially inner surface of the metal middle layer. A fluoroelastomer layer is provided for bonding the inner liner to the metal middle layer. The metal middle layer is preferably a metal hypotube.

  • Patent number: 11810147
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for automatic attribution modeling and measurement. In aspects, a system may receive identification information associated with profiles and electronic devices that were exposed to a certain piece of targeted content. The demographic and device data associated with the individuals who were exposed to the targeted content are used to create a control group of individuals who were not exposed to that targeted content. The real-world visit rates of the exposed group and the control group to one or more locations may be monitored over a period of time (or campaign) and evaluated to assess the effectiveness of the targeted content.

  • Patent number: 11797691
    Abstract: A Secure Access Gateway and Registry is provided for secure access to security related service information, to operate a security feature of a motor vehicle, by a validated Individual. The system is implemented with a general purpose computer, internet, mobile device, and secure data release Registry software application. An Individual is employed as a vehicle service professional. The Individual inputs a Registry Application data. The Registry uses the Registry Application data to generate a background search result data. The Registry uses the search result data to determine eligibility, and assign a Registered Vehicle Service Professional Identification code. The Individual uses the Registered Vehicle Service Professional Identification code to input a Form D1 authorization data, and to access an Automaker website. The Registry uses the D1 authorization data to determine a legal possessory interest in a motor vehicle, to be serviced.

  • Publication number: 20230319152
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples, passive information is used to verify the location of a client computing device and to create segment categories for directed information using location-based services and/or applications. In aspects, passive information is received from a client computing device. The client computing device is detected as being located at a predicted venue using the passive information. It may be determined whether directed information associated with the predicted venue has been displayed at an earlier time on a predetermined portion of the client computing device. In response to determining directed information associated with the predicted venue has been displayed on the predetermined portion of the client computing device, a statistical model may be applied to calculate a confidence score that the client computing device is located at the predicted venue. When the confidence score meets a predetermined threshold, a directed information conversion record may be stored in a data store.
