  • Patent number: 11923086
    Abstract: Provided herein is a digital care circle platform for electronic communication between a senior and virtual care circle members. The digital care circle platform may include a chatbot and an application associated with the senior, a mobile application associated with the plurality of virtual care circle members, at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, and one or more servers, sensors, wearables, and transceivers. The at least one processor may be configured to: (i) accept event posts from the senior via the chatbot and application and from each virtual care circle member of the plurality of virtual care circle members via the mobile application, (ii) detect pro-active check-ins from the senior, and (iii) generate, once a pro-active check-in is detected, an electronic communication detailing the pro-active check-in as a pro-active check-in event, and transmit the pro-active check-in event to the virtual care circle members.

  • Publication number: 20220249140
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an orthopedic implant that can include an intramedullary stem transition region that fits in the bony intramedullary canal. The transition region can run as a monolithic piece between the implant body and the intramedullary stem, with a squared cross-section away from the implant body and a circular cross-section close to the stem body. The transition region can allow for higher implant strength with reduced rotation for the implant.

  • Publication number: 20220088873
    Abstract: A system for producing a three-dimensional object from a fluid medium includes image processing units. The fluid medium is configured to solidify when subjected to a prescribed light stimulation. Each image processing unit includes at least one light emitting source configured to emit light, and at least one minor system configured to reflect the light emitted by the light emitting source. The minor system includes a manipulating system for adjusting the direction of the emitted light, a control system for controlling the manipulating system, and at least one optical element configured to manipulate the emitted light and to project the emitted light onto an area of a surface of the fluid medium to form an image on the surface. The image processing units are configured to form corresponding images on the surface, and are configured to be movable at least in a lateral direction relative to the surface.

  • Publication number: 20210004751
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for electronically monitoring officer context change and accumulating corresponding form completion times and providing a corresponding indication. A first context status change associated with an officer changing status is received. One or more corresponding particular information forms are identified via access to an electronically stored status to form mapping. A particular time required by the officer to complete the one or more particular information forms is determined via access to an electronically stored time completion indication associated with each of the one or more particular information forms. A total forms completion accumulation value is determined. The total form completion accumulation value particularly associated with the officer is provided to the officer and/or a dispatcher.

  • Patent number: 10742493
    Abstract: Remote configuration of network interface cards (NICs) on appliances of a scaleable compute resource such as a frame-based system is disclosed. Frames may include a frame link module (FLM). Remote configuration of NICs may allow for multiple networks to be maintained in physical or logical isolation from each other. For example, a management data network may be maintained independently of an application data network. An FLM CPU may detect an appliance, validate compatibility for the appliance, a midplane, a PHY connection, etc. Commands from the FLM CPU may configure the independent networks. Independent networks may provide redundancy and segregation by data type. A controller area network (CAN) bus may deliver configuration commands to a NIC of an attached appliance. Air gap equivalent isolation of networks based on type of network may be achieved while maintaining redundancy of networks to address potential failure of individual components.
