  • Publication number: 20220399093
    Abstract: A system may generate a prescription file including a plurality of data fields, assign the prescription file to a first queue for processing, provide a first queue GUI that includes the plurality of data fields grouped in a plurality of information modules and indicates an approval status of each information module, and receive user input editing one or more data fields. The system may assign the prescription file to a second queue, provide a second queue GUI that includes the plurality of information modules and indicates the approval status of each information module, and receive user input setting the approval status of each information module. If an information module is not approved, the system may reassign the prescription file to the first queue. If all information modules are approved, the system may assign the prescription file to a third queue for further processing.

  • Publication number: 20220143278
    Abstract: Fluid management systems are disclosed that include software-controlled, electro-mechanical devices used in combination with single-use or multi-use tubing sets. Functions of the fluid management systems can include fluid pressurization, fluid warming, fluid deficit monitoring (including flow-based and weight-based), suction, fluid collection, and fluid evacuation (including indirect-to-drain and direct-to-drain options). The systems can be configured based on the surgical environment (e.g., operating room or physician office) as well as other user needs and/or preferences.

  • Patent number: 10771068
    Abstract: A calibration controller of a receiving chip learns a difference between a first clock phase of an input clock for controlling inputs on a data path to a buffer of the receiving chip at a clock boundary and a second clock phase of a chip clock for controlling outputs from the buffer on the data path at the clock boundary. The calibration controller dynamically adjusts a phase of a reference clock driving a phase locked loop that outputs the chip clock to adjust the second clock phase of the chip clock with respect to the first clock phase to minimize a latency on the data path at the clock boundary to a half a cycle granularity.

  • Patent number: 10608763
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for packeted analysis, comprising: testing a phase rotator at a plurality of phase rotator positions, by propagating a first series of bits of a first pattern through a channel of an integrated circuit; propagating a second series of bits of a second pattern through the channel; measuring, for the given phase rotator position, a value of each bit propagated through the channel; and in response to determining that measured values of the bits propagated through the channel conform to one of the first pattern and the second pattern, indicating that the given phase rotator position satisfies an accuracy threshold; determining a sequence of phase rotator positions of the plurality of phase rotator positions in which the accuracy threshold is satisfied; and in response to determining that the sequence of phase rotator positions does not satisfy an eye width threshold, failing the channel of the integrated circuit.

  • Patent number: 10192067
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide techniques and devices for implementing a self-described security model for sharing secure resources between secure applications. In some examples, a trustlet can include a self-described policy defining capabilities of the trustlet and/or membership in a scenario group managed by a signing authority. Further, the trustlet can include a code signature signed by the signing authority. Additionally, a proxy kernel can allow the trustlet to share application data with other trustlets in the scenario group based on the policy and the code signature without exposing the application data to compromised system software and/or unauthorized applications.

  • Publication number: 20170278153
    Abstract: A user-personalized product sampling, recommendation and purchasing system uses customer identification numbers and associated customer profile data to tailor specific product recommendations to a customer at a content sampling station of a retail location. The customer also can use her customer profile to receive the same information from an Internet website of the merchant. In-store sampling stations also may have the capability of checking store inventory and central warehouse inventory and providing recommendations to the customer in accordance with product availability, and optionally may provide the customer with the ability to place product orders directly through the sampling station. The recommendation system also can be used to tailor product recommendations in accordance with a rule-based model and real-time inventory data from a POS database.

  • Patent number: 9296246
    Abstract: An anti-counterfeiting technique presents, to a test thermoreflective mark at a first temperature, a first electromagnetic wave. A first test reflective profile for the test thermoreflective mark associated with the first temperature is recorded. A second electromagnetic wave is presented to the test thermoreflective mark at a second temperature. A second test reflective profile for the test thermoreflective mark associated with the second temperature is recorded. The first test reflective profile is compared with a first control reflective profile that is associated with a genuine thermoreflective mark. The second test reflective profile is compared with a second control reflective profile that is associated with the genuine thermoreflective mark.
