  • Publication number: 20240375487
    Abstract: A module assembly for a refrigerant circuit of a motor vehicle. The module assembly includes an inner heat exchanger and a heat exchanger through which a coolant can flow. The inner heat exchanger is designed to transfer heat from a high-pressure side of the inner heat exchanger to a low-pressure side of the inner heat exchanger. The heat is introducible into a refrigerant compressible by the compressor by operating a compressor of the refrigerant circuit. The heat exchanger is subjected to refrigerant that can be supplied to the heat exchanger from the high-pressure side of the inner heat exchanger and can be expanded by an expansion device of the module assembly. The module assembly is formed separately from an evaporator of the refrigerant circuit and/or separately from a condenser of the refrigerant circuit. and includes a support device separate from the heat exchanger, on which the heat exchanger is held.

  • Publication number: 20240348910
    Abstract: The present invention describes an automated camera system designed for aquatic environments. The system includes a controller and a sealed submersible housing encompassing at least one camera. The controller triggers the camera to capture images at predefined intervals. These images are then analyzed by an artificial intelligence (AI) model or a background state change detection script to identify objects of interest, specifically aquatic wildlife. The system provides for efficient use of storage by discarding images where no objects of interest are detected. The controller can also initiate video recording upon the detection of an object of interest. Furthermore, the system incorporates a wireless communications module enabling data transmission to external devices or servers, and user-configurable settings for adjusting capture intervals and image analysis parameters.

  • Patent number: 11657176
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed herein to secure flexible access to the healthcare information resources (HIR) contained within electronic health records (EHR) systems. By managing access permissions with certified self-sovereign identities and distributed ledger techniques, HIR may be secured. Patients and other users may be registered to access a distributed ledger, such as a healthcare blockchain, employed to set, host and adjudicate permissions to access HIR. Authorized owners and/or patients with rights to their own HIR may be able to grant fine-grained and conditional access permissions to third-parties. Information transfers and transactions occurring according to these permissions may be logged within smart contracts incorporated in the healthcare blockchain.

  • Patent number: 8914839
    Abstract: A system and method are described for providing interactive television services and for switching between television programs, such as to an interactive program session from another program. An interactive server, capable of providing requested interactive video services to a set of subscribers in a given geographic area, is coupled to a network to which subscriber set top boxes are also coupled. Television programming, which may be furnished by any number of sources, is accompanied by a signal that indicates the availability of other programming, such as interactive television service related to the program being viewed, as well as information to be used in requesting such service. The user, when notified by this signal, may input to the set top box a request for a second program, such as an interactive program or application. The identity of the original program channel is stored, and a session with the video service provider is established over the network.

  • Publication number: 20130227611
    Abstract: An interactive media delivery system enables interactive media programming to a multimedia device and also tracks a subscriber's use of the multimedia device. For example, the device tracks events, such as a change in programming, a change in channel selection, and/or the subscriber's interaction with a particular interactive services application. Each event may be stored as an event record in a database, and one or more of the event records may be merged with content data to form event timelines of programming or other activity to the multimedia device over a selected time period. Further, timelines may be analyzed to generate ratings and other information about programming and may also be correlated with demographics data for marketing analysis.
