  • Publication number: 20240125751
    Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to a gas detector test fixture that recycles test gas. A portable gas detector test fixture, comprises a test chamber, a processor, a docking connector communicatively coupled to the processor, an output device communicatively coupled to the processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, and an application stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, is configured to conduct a bump test on a portable gas detector plugged into the docking connector and to output the bump test result to the output device. The test fixture further comprises an inflow line configured to connect to a test gas supply line of a test gas container, where the inflow line is coupled to the test chamber, and an outflow line configured to connect to a test gas return line of the test gas container, where the outflow line is coupled to the test chamber.

  • Publication number: 20240129438
    Abstract: Usage of the same virtual background during video communications associated with multiple meetings is identified. Common information details in respective information details of the multiple meetings are identified. A virtual background selection rule that associates the common information details of each of the multiple meetings with the same virtual background is automatically generated. A determination is made that information details of a planned meeting matches the common information details. In response to determining that the information details of the planned meeting matches the common information details, the same virtual background of the virtual background selection rule is used for display during the planned meeting.

  • Patent number: 11957899
    Abstract: A system for placement of biocompatible electrodes in an opening formed in a patient's body part, such as DBS electrodes inserted into a patient's skull during surgical procedures in the brain. The system includes a coupled catheter and annulus. The catheter includes a guide tube having at least three cooperating guide elements configured to releasably fit together and collectively form a continuous lumen through the catheter that is dimensioned to receive an electrode therein. The annulus is configured to be placed in the opening formed in the patient's body part, and to receive the catheter therethrough. A track mechanism is used to operably couple the catheter to the annulus.

  • Publication number: 20220015686
    Abstract: A method includes engaging Parkinson's Disease (PD) subjects in a continuous motor performance task that elicits natural motor variability, quantifying natural motor variability of each PD subject with an array of motor metrics at short timescales, applying a machine-learning classification or regression algorithm to determine weights for each of these metrics to maximally differentiate each patient's motor performance from that of controls performing the same task, and combining the weights to determine a scalar metric of motor performance for each short epoch of motor behavior.

  • Patent number: 9156375
    Abstract: An all terrain vehicle with a low profile low friction seat support is described. The vehicle includes a rail in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and a seat support with a top member and a bottom member. The seat support is adapted for securing on the rail, and the seat support is adjustable in position in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A lock is provided for releasably locking the seat support in a forward position, a rearward position and therebetween. A low friction support member is positioned between the top and bottom members. At least two channels are formed in the top member. One of the channels matches the shape of the support member, and the other channel matches the shape of the rail for close registration between the top member and the support member and the rails. The seat support is highly compartmentalized, sturdier, and safer for vehicle occupants.
