Publication number: 20240095761Abstract: In a computer-implemented method, alert responsiveness data indicating how responsive a driver is to one or more types of vehicle alerts is received. The method also includes generating or modifying a driver profile associated with the driver, the driver profile including alert responsiveness profile information based upon the alert responsiveness data, and identifying, based at least upon the generated or modified driver profile, a suggested vehicle type. Identifying the suggested vehicle type includes determining that the generated or modified driver profile meets a set of one or more matching criteria associated with the suggested vehicle type at least in part by determining that the alert responsiveness profile information meets one or more criteria indicative of reliability of the suggested vehicle type. The method also includes causing an indication of the suggested vehicle type to be displayed to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Leo Nelson Chan, Jacob J.

Patent number: 11789682Abstract: Techniques for printing 3D anatomical models for diagnostic and/or non-diagnostic uses are provided. In one technique, a computing system (e.g., a 3D print portal) receives a first API call from a requester system via one or more APIs. The first API call indicates that a requester system has saved 3D printable files in a data repository. In response to receiving the first API call, the computing system sends, to the requester system, a user information form to initiate a production ordering process of printing the 3D printable files.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Steven A. Nelson, Fred Herold, Ryan Hess, Jeanette Wall, Patrick Gannon, Gary Turner

Publication number: 20230282330Abstract: Techniques for providing clearance, notification, and selection of use related to certification of 3D anatomical models for pre-surgical planning are provided. In one technique, a collection of sets of one or more files for generating a 3D anatomical model is stored. First input to print a 3D anatomical model based on a set of one or more files in the collection is received from a requester computer. In response to determining that the to-be-printed 3D anatomical model is not associated with a predetermined certification, a user interface is updated to indicate that the 3D anatomical model cannot be used for a diagnostic purpose. Second input that indicates that a user of the requester computer accepts using the 3D anatomical model for only non-diagnostic purposes is received. After receiving the second input, the 3D anatomical model is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Steven A.
