  • Patent number: 12274672
    Abstract: A medication and identification information transfer system is provided that includes a primary medication container, a secondary medication container, a secondary container label and a medication information transfer apparatus. The medication information transfer apparatus, when coupled to the primary medication container, can transfer information indicative of the contents of the primary medication container to a medication delivery device such as an intelligent injection site. The medication information transfer apparatus has a shape and size enabling it to be connected to an adapter for removal of medication from the primary medication container which enables transfer of the medication to a secondary container while simultaneously transferring information about the medication in the primary medication container to the injection site. In some implementations, the medication injection site can be placed on a fluid delivery line for infusion into a patient.

  • Patent number: 12235887
    Abstract: The system and methods described herein provide content recommendations to user equipment timed to reduce interruption of content. A content recommendation application detects output of first content and determines viewing metrics for the first content. Using the determined viewing metrics, the content recommendation application determines whether output of a content recommendation should be blocked. In response to determining that the viewing metrics indicate output of the content recommendation should be blocked, the content recommendation application blocks the content recommendation. Upon receiving an input changing output of the first content to output of a second content, the content recommendation application unblocks and outputs the content recommendation.

  • Publication number: 20250024102
    Abstract: Methods and systems for facilitating discovery of fresh content in a grid guide are described herein. The system generates for display a grid guide with a first set of content identifiers populating the grid guide. The system receives an input to shift the grid guide and, in response, identifies a second set of content identifiers that would populate the grid guide following the shift. The system determines duplicative content identifiers between the first and second sets of content identifiers. The system then removes the duplicative content identifiers or highlights the non-duplicative content identifiers in order to emphasize fresh content in the grid guide. The system may additionally add identifiers to the content identifiers to indicate recorded or previously watched content and may collapse the grid guide if there are blank rows or columns. These methods and systems provide the user with easier access to fresh content in the grid guide.

  • Patent number: 12020073
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processing device that is configured to obtain a metadata structure corresponding to a workflow automation. The metadata structure defines a first tier comprising individual tasks, a second tier comprising a plurality of workflows each comprising a grouping of the individual tasks and a third tier comprising an orchestration comprising a grouping of the workflows. The processing device is configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the metadata structure that is configured to present the plurality of tiers to a user. The GUI comprises a plurality of elements each activatable to enable or disable corresponding individual tasks and workflows. The GUI is presented to a user and an activation of a given element is received from the user. The activation disables the corresponding individual task or workflow for the workflow automation. The workflow automation is executed based at least in part on the activation.
