  • Patent number: 12007839
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory operations are described. A first code for detecting one or more errors in a first set of bits of data and a second code for detecting one or more errors in a second set of bits of data may be generated. The first set of bits and the second set of bits may be transmitted over a channel between a memory device and a host device in an interleaved pattern. The first code and the second code may also be transmitted over the channel. The first set of bits and the second set of bits may be deinterleaved by the receiving device. The first set of bits and the second set of bits may also be processed by the receiving device using the first code and the second code.

  • Patent number: 11465602
    Abstract: A method for checking functionality of a motor vehicle braking system. The braking system has a main module, including: hydraulically actuatable wheel brakes, pairs being assigned to respective brake circuits; at least one electrically actuatable wheel valve per wheel brake sets wheel-specific brake pressures; a pressure provision device actively builds up pressure in the wheel brakes; a pressure-medium reservoir at atmospheric pressure, and an auxiliary module, which has for each of two wheel brakes: a pressure sensor for measuring pressure in a wheel brake line; an open when deenergized isolating valve in the wheel brake line; a pump. At least one variable is measured to assess functionality of the braking system. Using least one acceptance criterion, and checked whether the variable satisfies the acceptance criterion. Determining at least one variable representing the viscosity of the brake fluid, and the at least one acceptance criterion depends on a variable representing viscosity.

  • Patent number: 9031281
    Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for identifying an area of interest comprising a desired object in imagery (e.g., so an image comprising the desired object may be altered in some manner). A determination can be made as to whether a capture event occurs within a proximity mask, where an object is not likely to be out of range if an image of the object is captured from within the proximity mask. For an image captured within the proximity mask, a determination can be made as to whether capture event imagery metadata for the image overlaps a footprint mask for the desired object. If so, the image may be regarded as comprising a discernible view of at least some of the desired object and is thus identified as an area of interest (e.g., that may be modified to accommodate privacy concerns, for example).

  • Patent number: 8454997
    Abstract: A solid pharmaceutical composition for parenteral administration having an inner matrix containing at least one therapeutic agent, and a biodegradable, and water-impermeable coating covering part of the surface of said composition. The inner matrix disintegrates upon contact with animal tissue or tissue fluids. By providing a disintegratable and/or soluble inner matrix comprising the drug with a water-impermeable coating covering part of the surface of said composition, the rate of release of the drug can be controlled. The specific rate of release can be controlled by carefully designing the part of the surface which is not covered.

  • Patent number: 6755810
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transfer device for transferring medicament from a medicament container to a syringe with a needle. The transfer device is arranged for transferring accurate dosages of insulin, growth hormone or other medicaments. The accuracy is ensured by the device comprising means for mounting a syringe to the device, the needle piercing a sealing of the device. Opposite the sealing a piston is arranged, said piston being non-releasable engaged with the piston driver during transfer of the medicament. Thereby the piston is not erroneously drawn from the piston driver, which would otherwise lead to incorrect dosing. Furthermore, the device comprises dosing means including the piston driver.

  • Patent number: 6680091
    Abstract: A medicament container for storing a liquid medicament, such as insulin, comprises a wall with at least two opposite portions made of a polymer material having a light transmission at 400 nm of at least 25%, a glass transition temperature above 50° C., and a density of 0.95 g/cm3 or more. The polymer material comprises at least 70% by weight of a copolymer material composed of aliphatic cyclic or bicyclic hydrocarbons with 5 to 7 membered ring or rings and ethylene or propylene. The container is substantially inert to the medicament and, because it is either transparent or at least includes at least two opposed transparent portions, it is possible visually to inspect the contents of the container to make sure that the medicament has not crystalized or polymerized. The walls of the container provide a good barrier against m-cresol/phenol/benzyl alcohol preservatives and water.
