Patent number: 11969578Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for inter-app communications between software applications on a mobile communications device. In one aspect, a computer-readable medium on a mobile computing device comprising an inter-application communication data structure to facilitate transitioning and distributing data between software applications in a shared app group for an operating system of the mobile computing device includes a scheme field of the data structure providing a scheme id associated with a target software app to transition to from a source software app, wherein the scheme id is listed on a scheme list stored with the source software app; and a payload field of the data structure providing data and/or an identification where to access data in a shared file system accessible to the software applications in the shared app group, wherein the payload field is encrypted.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Dexcom, Inc.Inventors: Gary A.

Publication number: 20240081759Abstract: An apparatus and method for medical imaging uses a first and second contrast agent, the second agent targeted to a particular tissue type. First images are obtained using the first agent, and second images using the second agent using medical imaging systems. An image processing system is adapted to process the first and second medical images by fitting parameters of a pharmacokinetic model to the first medical images, identifying a nontargeted tissue type, scaling the fitted parameters to best match the nontargeted tissue in the second medical images, executing the pharmacokinetic model to prepare a correction image, and generating corrected medical images by subtracting the correction image from the second medical images.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Kenneth M.

Publication number: 20240071593Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Anna Leigh DAVIS, Scott M.

Publication number: 20230156014Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting the behavior of an endpoint security agent based on a network location are provided. According to an embodiment, an agent of an endpoint device identifies whether a security service of a cloud-based security service is not reachable or is unresponsive. The security service is associated with a particular security function implemented by the agent. When the security service is not reachable or is unresponsive, the agent further determines whether the endpoint device is within a trusted network of multiple trusted networks that have been previously registered with the cloud-based security service by querying a trusted network determination service associated with the cloud-based security service. When the determination is affirmative, the particular security feature is configured for operating inside a trusted network. When the determination is negative, the particular security feature is configured for operating outside a trusted network.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Gregory L. Galloway, Karl D. Melcher, Michael C. Starr, Scott M. Davis

Publication number: 20220103594Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting the behavior of an endpoint security agent based on a network location are provided. According to an embodiment, an agent of an endpoint device detects whether the endpoint has moved to a new network by monitoring for changes to an IP address associated with the endpoint. When the detecting is affirmative, the agent further determines whether a trusted network determination service associated with a cloud-based security service is reachable. When the determining is affirmative, the agent further identifies whether the new network is among a set of trusted networks that have been previously registered with the cloud-based security service by querying the trusted network determination service. When the identifying is affirmative, a particular security feature on the endpoint is configured for operation within a trusted network and when the identifying is negative, the particular security feature is configured for operation outside of a trusted networks.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Gregory L.

Patent number: 10277930Abstract: In a switched digital video content-based network, wherein a head end obtains a first group of program streams and sends to a client only a subset of the program streams selected by subscribers in a neighborhood of the client, imminence and/or presence of a condition of inadequate bandwidth is determined. Responsive to the determining, a bit rate of at least one of the subset of the program streams selected by the subscribers in the neighborhood of the client is dynamically decreased by adjusting encoding thereof, while maintaining adequate quality for the at least one of the subset of the program streams selected by the subscribers in the neighborhood of the client, based on an objective quality measure, in order to address the imminence and/or presence of the condition of inadequate bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2018Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: TIME WARNER CABLE ENTERPRISES LLCInventors: Scott M.

Patent number: 8863172Abstract: Methods and apparatus for delivering emergency alert system message content to customer premise devices without requiring them to tune to an emergency message channel and having to encode information into frames of regular program content being delivered to customer premise devices, e.g., set top boxes, are described. An emergency management server receives emergency alert messages from a federal government system and generates emergency alert control messages which are sent to one or more switching devices located at one or more regional hubsites/headends to which the emergency alert message applies. The emergency alert control message instructs the switching device to output an emergency alert content stream in place of a standard program. The switching device outputs the emergency content message stream in place of the standard program content to, e.g., a QAM modulator, which modulates the content stream on the frequency being used to deliver the standard program content being replaced.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLCInventors: Glen Hardin, Greg Von Der Ahe, Nubia Castillo, Scott M.
