  • Patent number: 11962567
    Abstract: A method comprises, at a wireless network controller of wireless access points through which wireless client devices that are wireless communicate with the controller: upon receiving, from a wireless client device, a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) request having a media access control (MAC) address, determining whether the wireless client device rotated its MAC address from a previous MAC address to the MAC address; when the wireless client device rotated its MAC address, forwarding, to a DHCP service, the DHCP request with a notification of a MAC address rotation to cause the DHCP service to reassign a previously assigned Internet Protocol (IP) address to the wireless client device; and upon receiving, from the DHCP service, a DHCP offer asserting the previously assigned IP address, forwarding the DHCP offer to the wireless client device.

  • Publication number: 20240118160
    Abstract: A device and a process detect a leak during artificial ventilation of a patient. A measurement system with a sensor arrangement and a sensor fluid guide unit is monitored. A fluid connection is established between a patient-side coupling unit and a medical device with a patient fluid guide unit. A gas sample is branched off from the patient fluid guide unit and guided through the sensor fluid guide unit to the sensor arrangement. A thermal conductivity time course of the gas sample reaching the sensor arrangement is determined with sensor arrangement measured values. Depending on a temporal change in the determined thermal conductivity, a decision is made as to whether there is an indication of a leak between the patient's fluid-guiding unit and the sensor arrangement. The leak establishes a fluid connection between the sensor fluid guide unit and/or the sensor arrangement and the environment.

  • Publication number: 20240115825
    Abstract: An intubation assistance device facilitates insertion of an endotracheal tube or a guide wire into a patient's trachea without requiring a laryngoscope. The device includes a curved flexible tubular member that has a proximal portion having a proximal end, a distal portion having a distal end, and a curved portion between the proximal portion and the distal portion. A lumen extends from the proximal end of the tubular member and terminates in the curved portion of the tubular member. The lumen is sized and shaped so that an endotracheal tube and/or a guide wire is axially moveable through the lumen. A ramp is disposed at a distal end of the lumen, and is angled to facilitate insertion of the endotracheal tube and/or guide wire into the patient's trachea. The distal portion of the tubular member includes an esophageal protrusion that is configured to be inserted in the patient's esophagus.

  • Publication number: 20240112110
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for ingesting of raw client data into a supply chain optimization system. The client enterprise data system (EDS) provides raw data, typically in tabular format across many files, to a data management module of the optimization system. This data is then profiled. and a set of mapping AI models is applied to the profiled data. Each of the plurality of mapping AI models corresponds to a single input feature of the optimization model. As the mapping models are applied, a live preview is generated. This live preview is reviewable by a human operator, and human input can be provided. When there is input, the individual mapping model is updated (without impacting the other mapping models), and a new live preview for that given feature is generated. The resulting standardized feature set may be consumed by the supply chain optimization model.
