Patent number: 11400977Abstract: A system and method for guiding an articulated vehicle having at least a first section and a second section includes one or more sensors positioned separately from the vehicle and adapted to detect the positions of and the angle between the first and second sections. The system also may include one or more position sensors located on the vehicle. A computing system that may be on the vehicle or positioned separately from the vehicle receives the position data and includes a pose-determining algorithm for determining the position and orientation of the vehicle and a guidance-determining algorithm for determining guidance commands to guide the vehicle to a target position. A communications device communicates the guidance commands or sensed position and/or angle information to the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Volvo Truck CorporationInventors: Sean Nicholas Brennan, James Theodore Dorris

Publication number: 20170323061Abstract: In a system with a display and an input device, a graphical user interface (GUI) may be presented via the display. A natural language understanding engine may be applied to a free-form text documenting a clinical patient encounter, to automatically derive one or more engine-suggested medical billing codes, which may be presented in the GUI. User input may be accepted to approve at least one of the engine-suggested codes and/or to enter one or more user-added codes in the GUI, resulting in a set of user-approved codes. The set of user-approved codes may be automatically correlated to a diagnosis related group (DRG) for the patient encounter, which may be displayed. In response to user input changing the set of user-approved codes by approving or removing approval of an engine-suggested code in the GUI, the DRG may be automatically updated, and the updated DRG for the patient encounter may be displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2016Publication date: November 9, 2017Inventors: Howard Maurice D'Souza, Debjani Sarkar, Regina Marie Spitznagel, Laxmi Gottumukkala, Diana DeMarco Brown, Jennifer Marie Ward, Sean Nicholas Stefanik, Joanne K.

Patent number: 7793126Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to using priorities and power usage to allocate power budget to devices. In aspects, a console that maintains power usage, priorities, and other power data regarding a set of devices may receive a notification that a device has exceeded its budgeted power. In response, using priorities and power usage associated with the devices, the console determines one or more devices to instruct to use less power. A device that exceeded its budgeted power may be instructed to operate at a lower power level or another device (e.g., a lower priority device that is underutilizing its budgeted power) may be instructed to reduce its power to remain below a power budget for the set of devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2007Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Sean Nicholas McGrane, John M.

Patent number: 7793120Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to a data structure for budgeting power for multiple devices. In aspects, devices are allotted a power budget. The devices are each capable of operating at one or more power levels. A console queries the devices to obtain the power capabilities of the devices. The console stores the power capabilities in a data structure. The data structure together with the power budget may then be used to instruct each device to operate at a particular power level. The data structure includes fields for storing power levels for the devices as well as fields that associate the power levels with the devices. In addition, the data structure includes a group field that associates the devices with the power budget.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2007Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Sean Nicholas McGrane, John M.
