  • Publication number: 20240139504
    Abstract: A method of delivering tumor treating electric fields to a body of a patient including: obtaining a topography and a location of a tumor in the patient; placing a mimicked tumor, in a phantom; positioning simulated arrays of simulated electrodes on the phantom; running simulated TTF treatments of the mimicked tumor in the mimicked arrays to determine a field strength in the mimicked tumor; altering electrical parameters of an electrical signal applied to selected pairs of electrodes; repeating the running and altering steps until a selected field strength of the electrical signal is obtained in the mimicked tumor; implementing arrays of electrodes on the patient that correspond to the simulated arrays; and treating the tumor in the patient by using the parameters of the electrical signal applied to selected electrodes on the patient that correspond to the parameters of the selected pairs on the phantom.

  • Patent number: 11770681
    Abstract: A communications hub providing a repository of vehicle crash information communicated by a mobile communications device and of vehicle crash data records provided by crash event servicers, in a crash detection, response and reporting system that determines a possible crash event by periodically evaluating (a) changes in a motion signal and (b) crash sound indicators of one or more of (i) motor vehicle glass breakage, (ii) metal folding, (iii) contact thud, and (iv) tires screeching, and upon a failure to respond within a predetermined period to a notice of possible crash event, communicating an identifier and crash incident information to a dispatch center as first notice of loss for dispatching a response servicer and maintaining the repository to facilitate resolution of the claims arising from the vehicle crash event.

  • Patent number: 9132805
    Abstract: An unattended-vehicle engine-idling system controls a vehicle powertrain in a non-motive mode with the engine running. An ignition switch operables with a removable ignition key. A control circuit has multiple states including a PREARMED state which is entered when the powertrain is in the motive mode and the user generates a manual activation signal. An ARMED state is entered when the transmission is in Park and holds an ignition switch status signal at RUN. An ACTIVE state is entered when the ignition switch is moved to the Accessory or Off positions or the key is removed. The powertrain is switched to non-motive mode and the switch status signal stays at RUN. A DISARMED state is entered in response to a manual deactivation signal generated independently of the ignition switch. In the DISARMED state, the ignition switch status signal corresponds with the ignition switch position, thereby turning off the engine.
