Publication number: 20240157148Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Todd D. Zenisek, Touby A. Drew, Brian Andrew Smith, Juan G. Hincapie, Leonid M. Litvak

Patent number: 11935151Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: James E. Akiyama, John Howard, Murali Ramadoss, Gary K. Smith, Todd M. Witter, Satish Ramanathan, Zhengmin Li

Publication number: 20210149376Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2020Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Stephen C. Briant, Deepa S. Bekal, Sonal R. Dubey, Sharath C. R. Baddam, Joshua W. Buck, Dale A. Hawthorne, Nicholas J. Marangoni, Alexander B. Cherpakov, Todd M. Smith, Derrick Awuah, Alexander K.

Publication number: 20180129191Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2017Publication date: May 10, 2018Inventors: Axel Rodriguez, Daniel B. Seger, Michael J. Pantaleano, Todd M. Smith

Patent number: 9143563Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2012Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: ROCKWELL AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Jan Pingel, Michael John Pantaleano, Chirayu Shah, Todd M.
