Publication number: 20250259494Abstract: A technique for controlling access to one or more attractions is achieved using a number of access keys, each being issued to one or more users. An electronic queue management part manages a virtual queue in respect of each attraction and receives electronic requests for attraction access, each request relating to an access key and being for the users associated with it to access a particular attraction. Receipt of each request causes the respective users to be added to a corresponding virtual queue. A time at which each group of users reaches the front of the virtual queue and can access the attraction is determined. The users access the attractions by presenting an access key to an access control part, in communication with the electronic queue management part. Only a user presenting an access key at the correct time for accessing the attraction is allowed access to the attraction.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2025Publication date: August 14, 2025Applicant: Accesso Technology Group PLCInventors: Christopher Simon GALLEY, Christopher Simon Peter BARNABY, Ian Michael FRANCIS

Publication number: 20250009959Abstract: Electronic patient monitoring and treatment devices can include various loads (such as, pumps or sensors) that may need to be actively managed at startup to prevent a brownout condition and reset from occurring. To prevent the brownout and reset, an initial inrush current to the load can be limited by a soft-start circuit. In some cases, alternatively activating and deactivating a switch can packetize the energy transfer from a power source to the load and reduce the inrush current. Reducing the current can also reduce the required recovery time of the power source.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2022Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Peter Georg Laitenberger, Daryl Simon Peter Larkin, Felix Clarence Quintanar, Roberto Damiao da Costa Rodrigues
