  • Publication number: 20240157148
    Abstract: A system for selecting a sensitivity level for adjusting an intensity setting for therapy provided to a patient includes one or more processors and one or more processors coupled to the memory. The one or more processors are configured to receive an indication of an input to adjust an intensity setting related to the therapy provided to the patient and determine a sensitivity level for adjustment of the intensity setting based on an efficacy of the therapy provided to the patient. The one or more processors are further configured to determine an updated intensity level for the intensity setting based on the sensitivity level and the input to adjust the intensity setting and output an instruction to cause a medical device to provide the therapy at the updated intensity level.

  • Patent number: 11957894
    Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

  • Patent number: 11935151
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a graphics processing system that includes one or more integrated graphics systems and one or more discrete graphics systems. In some examples, an operating system (OS) or other software supports switching between image display data being provided from either an integrated graphics system or a discrete graphics system by configuring a multiplexer at runtime to output image data to a display. In some examples, a multiplexer is not used and interface supported messages are used to transfer image data from an integrated graphics system to a discrete graphics system and the discrete graphics system generates and outputs image data to a display. In some examples, interface supported messages are used to transfer image data from a discrete graphics system to an integrated graphics system and the integrated graphics system uses an overlay process to generate a composite image for output to a display.

  • Publication number: 20210149376
    Abstract: A computing device for collecting and preserving data acquired from various devices in a data model with the respective context of acquired data. The computing device may provide a user interface to receive the context or information model associated with a dataset. By providing data with its context, different software platforms may synthesize or analyze the retrieved data more efficiently. Moreover, the computing device may include transaction conditions to define a workflow for transferring the datasets using data model associated with one or more datasets for transmission of data to a destination. The transaction conditions may detail a custom workflow for data communication through an industrial automation system using the data model.

  • Patent number: 10842066
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing a ground treatment, such as aeration or dethatching, is provided. The apparatus includes a base frame component to which a pair of angled side frame components are pivotally mounted. Each angled side frame can include first and second ends that are oriented to form a central angle. A first end of an angled side frame can be pivotally attached to a wheel and/or the base frame component, while the second end can include a mechanism for mounting a ground treatment component.

  • Publication number: 20180129191
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for generating one or more machine dashboards. In an implementation, a computing system is directed to receive a set of machine data from a gateway device, the machine data comprising operation data of an industrial automation machine controlled by a controller of an industrial automation environment. The set of machine data conforms to a predefined data format and comprises machine state information and ideal production information. The program instructions also direct the computing system to generate metrics data based on the machine data, store the metrics data in a computer readable storage medium, generate a data dashboard based on the stored metrics data, and deliver the data dashboard to a display device of a device configured to communicate with the computing system.

  • Patent number: 9143563
    Abstract: A distributed and scalable data historian framework is provided that allows historian functionality to be efficiently incorporated at various levels of an industrial enterprise. The framework includes a historian data interface system that provides a single interface and common protocol for configuring, managing, and viewing historian data located throughout a network of historian distributed across the industrial enterprise. The historian data interface system leverages a data model that models the enterprise and sources of historian data to facilitate fast and efficient retrieval of desired historian data. By unifying the distributed historians under a common framework, the data model can facilitate enterprise-level management of historian data collection and storage.
