  • Patent number: 11974843
    Abstract: A near-infrared spectroscopy system comprises a substrate, a light source emitting a set of wavelengths, an optical detector detecting the set of wavelengths, a processor in electronic communication with the light source bank and/or the optical detector, and a memory device in electronic communication with the processor. The light source bank, optical detector, processor, and memory device are mounted on the substrate, and a battery is in electronic communication with at least one of these components. Program instructions direct the processor to calculate an oxygenation level, compare that oxygenation level to a predetermined threshold, and optionally, activate a feedback device. A method of detecting an oxygenation level comprises mounting the system in a wearable article, calculating a baseline oxygenation level, regularly executing the program instructions to calculate the oxygenation level, and activating the feedback device.

  • Patent number: 11973827
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for migrating mailbox identities. In aspects, a system may receive one or more requests to perform tasks for migrating identities of a plurality of mailboxes included in a security group created at a source tenant to a plurality of mail users created at a target tenant that correspond to the plurality of mailboxes. Based on the one or more requests, the system may copy the identities to a data store associated with the target tenant, upload mapping data to the data store, and use that mapping data to map the identities copied to the data store to the corresponding plurality of mail users in the target tenant. For each of the identities mapped, the system may copy at least one or more attributes of the respective identity from the data store to the respective corresponding mail user in the target tenant.

  • Publication number: 20240123260
    Abstract: The disclosed calibration method includes a calibration phantom positioned on an adjustable table on the surface of a mechanical couch, with the phantom's centre at an estimated location for the iso-centre of a radio therapy treatment apparatus. The calibration phantom is then irradiated using the apparatus, and the relative location of the center of the calibration phantom and the iso-centre of the apparatus is determined by analyzing images of the irradiation of the calibration phantom. The calibration phantom is then repositioned by the mechanical couch applying an offset corresponding to the determined relative location of the centre of the calibration phantom and the iso-centre of the apparatus to the calibration phantom. Images of the relocated calibration phantom are obtained, to which the offset has been applied, and the obtained images are processed to set the co-ordinate system of a stereoscopic camera system relative to the iso-centre of the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20240127367
    Abstract: A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.

  • Patent number: 11950696
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a storage system having a drawer supported, when extended from a housing, by a lid. In an illustrative example, the drawer may have a first engagement feature. The lid may, for example, have a second engagement feature. The housing may, for example, have a first slide configured to slidingly receive the drawer. The housing may, for example, have a second slide configured to slidingly receive the lid. In a support mode, for example, the lid may be disposed in the second slide beneath the drawer such that, when the drawer is slid out of the housing beyond a first distance, then the engagement features interact to extend the lid from the housing such that the lid supports at least a portion of a weight of the drawer. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a cost-effective, transportable, and/or modular storage system.
