  • Publication number: 20250146408
    Abstract: A transmitter for inground use controls a depth signal transmit power in relation to a data signal transmit power such that one reception range of the depth signal at least approximately matches another, different reception range of the data signal. A portable device can form a system with the transmitter in which the portable device scans a plurality of frequencies within at least one low frequency depth signal range to measure the electromagnetic noise at each one of the plurality of frequencies and identify at least one of the frequencies as a potential depth frequency for the transmitter. The portable device can include a dual mode filter having a rebar mode and a normal mode filter. The depth signal frequency is dynamically positionable in relation to low frequency noise.

  • Publication number: 20250088477
    Abstract: A communication system actively monitors a conversation between users in an environment. Once a threshold condition occurs (e.g., client device within a threshold distance of a room where the conversation is occurring, the user enters a chatroom via the client device), the client device receives a summary from the communication system. The communication system may customize the summary in accordance with user preferences. User preferences may include level of detail in summary or time range associated with summary. The client device then presents the summary to the user. The summary may be audio or text. In some embodiments, the summary may be historical audio that is overlaid over current audio at faster speed and higher volume, and stops once the historical audio reaches real time.

  • Patent number: 12250525
    Abstract: A method to assess user condition for wearable devices using electromagnetic sensors is provided. The method includes receiving a signal from an electromagnetic sensor, the signal being indicative of a health condition of a user of a wearable device, selecting a salient attribute from the signal, and determining, based on the salient attribute, the health condition of the user of the wearable device. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause a system to perform the above method, and the system, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 12241909
    Abstract: An accelerometer arrangement and method are described for determining accelerations of an inground tool. First and second triaxial accelerometers are supported such that a normal sensing axis of the first triaxial accelerometer is at least generally orthogonal to the normal sensing axis of the second triaxial accelerometer for determining the accelerations along the three orthogonal axes based on a combination of sensing axis outputs from one or both of the triaxial accelerometers. A weaker sensing axis of one triaxial accelerometer can be supported at least approximately normal to a weaker sensing axis of another triaxial accelerometer such that the weaker axes are not used. The triaxial accelerometers can be supported such that one axis of one accelerometer can be redundant with respect to another axis of another accelerometer. One triaxial accelerometer can be mounted on a tilted plane with respect to another triaxial accelerometer.

  • Patent number: 12205721
    Abstract: A system and method for diagnosing, determining treatment, and determining prognosis of health, performance, fitness, training regimen, and breeding condition of an animal subject using expert systems, data integration, imaging and 3D scanning technology are disclosed. The system and method uses data integration, imaging and 3D scanning technology and other methods to collect data in a very precise and repeatable process. The system and method uses an AI expert system with deep learning analysis to analyze health history of an animal, performance of the animal, and breeding potential of the animal. This approach provides a highly accurate, repeatable and unbiased method to evaluate an animal and to recommend diagnosis and treatment.

  • Patent number: 12182417
    Abstract: Address range memory mirroring in a computer system, and related methods and computer-readable media. The computer system includes one or more memory mirror agents that are each configured to be programmed to mirror write data of a write request to a memory address mapped to the memory mirror agent. The memory mirror agent is configured to mirror write data to a redundant memory space in memory if the write memory address is within a programmed memory space to be mirrored by the memory mirror agent. The memory mirror agent can be programmed to perform memory mirroring based on specific address ranges to provide flexibility in controlling and changing the exact memory space of the memory system to be mirrored. If an error is detected in read data in response to a memory read request, the memory mirror agent can retrieve the stored redundant data to maintain data integrity.

  • Patent number: 12081812
    Abstract: A performance metrics of a receiver is obtained using frames of an application hosted by a server that are received via a network. The one or more performance metrics include information indicative of a current occupancy of a frame buffer corresponding to the receiver and information indicative of a target occupancy of the frame buffer corresponding to the receiver. The frame buffer of the receiver is used to queue frames of the application for display. A frame rate associated with rendering at least one next frame of the application is adjusted using the one or more performance metrics of the receiver to control population of the frame buffer. Subsequent frames of the application hosted by the server are rendered using the adjusted frame rate. Upon rendering the subsequent frames, the server sends the subsequent frames to the receiver for display.
