  • Patent number: 12440744
    Abstract: A trampoline has a frame, legs, a bed, springs, an upper spring cover, and a lower spring cover. The frame is horizontally oriented. The legs attach to the frame and support the frame. The bed is suspended across the frame. The springs are in tension and stretch the bed across the frame. The upper spring cover covers the springs from the frame to the bed and a lower spring cover. The lower spring cover attaches to the upper spring cover at a pad to sheath connection. The pad to sheath connection is on the lower distal end of the upper spring cover. The lower spring cover wraps around a horizontal frame portion of the frame around an outside portion of the horizontal frame portion of the frame.

  • Patent number: 12412267
    Abstract: Example methods and systems to obtain images associated with target cells distributed in a cytology specimen have been disclosed. One example method includes obtaining a first image associated with a first region of the cytology specimen through a first object lens, determining a first subregion of the first region, obtaining a second set of one or more images associated with the first subregion through a second object lens, identifying a third image from the first image, and in response to a ratio of a second number of the target cells in the second set of one or more images to the first number of the target cells in the third image being in a predetermined range, obtaining images associated with the target cells based on the second set of images.

  • Publication number: 20250222366
    Abstract: An inflatable device has an inflatable structure. The inflatable structure has an inflated mode and a deflated mode. The inflatable structure has an inflatable base. The inflation module is connected to the inflatable structure. The inflation module has a fan blower powered by a fan motor. The inflation module further includes an air intake. The fan blower draws air from the air intake and inflates the inflatable structure. The inflation module forms a storage housing. The storage housing receives the inflatable structure when the inflatable structure is in a deflated mode.

  • Patent number: 12145031
    Abstract: A hopscotch trampoline has a trampoline with a bed suspended across a trampoline frame. The bed has a bed center, a bed middle, and a bed periphery. A trampoline length is greater than a trampoline width. A hopscotch field is formed on the bed. The hopscotch field includes successive areas. The successive areas are at least partially linearly oriented. Contact sensors mounted on each area and the contact sensors are electrically connected by an electrical connection and electrically connected to a control panel harness. A middle crossbar can extend underneath the bed and connecting a right vertical post to a left vertical post.

  • Publication number: 20240378719
    Abstract: Example methods and systems to identify a suspicious cytology specimen including target cells have been disclosed. One example method includes obtaining a first image associated with a first region of the cytology specimen through a first object lens, obtaining a second set of one or more images associated with a first subregion of the first region through a second object lens, identifying a first number of target cells and determining whether the first number is greater than a threshold number. In response that the first number is greater than the threshold number, the example method prompts an alert. Otherwise, the example method further includes obtaining a third set of one or more images associated with a second subregion through the second object lens and identifying a second number of the target cells associated with the second subregion.

  • Patent number: 11911588
    Abstract: Described herein are syringe caps including a plug portion and a protruding member extending from one end of the plug portion. The protruding member can extend a length greater than a depth of an accumulated component in the syringe. Also described herein, are systems including a syringe containing a composition and a syringe cap. The syringe cap can include a luer-lock with a projecting member that projects into the syringe. The projecting member can assist in creating a tunnel through the accumulated material thereby allowing degassing of the composition. The projecting member can also help to prevent accumulation of a radiopaque visualization agent or contrast agent that may accumulate along one end of the syringe.

  • Publication number: 20230278828
    Abstract: A building system has an elevator system controlled by a controller system to move an elevator car between building floors, and a registration computer system communicatively coupled to the controller system. The registration computer system generates an activation (QR) code that a user requesting elevator service scans with a mobile communications device. The activation code encodes user information including access rights of the user in the building. A software application executable by the mobile communications device responds to the activation code by generating a graphical user interface with displayed content determined by the user information in the activation code. The software application generates an optical credential upon the user specifying the elevator service.

  • Publication number: 20230222856
    Abstract: A building system, such as an elevator system, a physical access control system, or a combined elevator and physical access control system, has a controller system to control the building system to perform a building action, and a credential acquisition unit to acquire a credential presented by a user. The building system includes a camera system having a thermographic camera, which generates an infrared image of a face of the user, and an image processing system. The image processing system processes the infrared image to determine if the user's face shows a temperature value that is higher than a set threshold temperature value. The controller system enables or disables the building action as a function of the acquired user credential and the result signal.

  • Patent number: 11684861
    Abstract: A slide has a metal frame supporting a polymer slide portion. The slide portion has an upper slide section and a lower slide section connected to the upper slide section. The upper slide section and the lower slide section form an interface. The interface includes an interface middle section, an interface right upper extension, and an interface left upper extension. The interface middle section is offset from the interface right upper extension and the interface left upper extension. A left lengthwise interface section extends between the interface middle section and the interface left upper extension. A right lengthwise interface section extends between the interface middle section and the interface right upper extension. The left lengthwise interface section and the right lengthwise interface section are parallel to each other, but perpendicular to the interface middle section.
