  • Publication number: 20240335320
    Abstract: A system for learning actual phacoemulsification energy setpoints at the time of occlusion breaks during ophthalmic surgery. Phacoemulsification energy setpoints may be recorded over different periods of time, such as during current cases and over a lifetime of cases. The recorded data would then be used to determine future phacoemulsification energy setting amounts.

  • Publication number: 20190114705
    Abstract: A method and system for optimizing use of computer resources in performing multiple automobile transactions for multiple customers which initially preloads a plurality of storage units with inventory data and lender constraints. Input in the form of a customer request is received from at least one customer. The method computes an operational metric whether to adjust the number of storage units to an optimized number of storage units including at least one available storage unit. The method sends a command to adjust the number of storage units to the optimized number of storage units based on the computing step. Each storage unit added is automatically loaded with the inventory data and lender constraints.

  • Patent number: 9621722
    Abstract: In order to authenticate a caller, a callee generates a code, such as, an alphanumeric code that is sent to a code manager via an electronic communication channel. The generated code is for authenticating a caller in a communication session to be made by the caller to the callee. The code manager stores the code in a memory. After the communication session has been initiated from the caller to the callee and then established, the code is sent to the callee so the callee can verify the caller is authentic.

  • Patent number: 9560208
    Abstract: A communication device is described along with various methods and systems for controlling the same. Methods are provided that monitor audio from a local and remote audio stream when determining whether to provide a mute notification on a muted call. In general, when a mute function of a communication device is active and a user attempts to speak, the system can analyze the user's local audio stream and the call's remote audio stream to determine whether characteristics exist to provide a mute notification to the user. The system provides mechanisms for controlling false positive determinations of speaking through mute by utilizing a combination of recorded characteristics and initiated timers that can be adjusted based on determinations made.

  • Publication number: 20170010851
    Abstract: An electronic device, system, and method performs an automated control. The electronic device includes an audio output device configured to play a sound. The electronic device includes a processor configured to receive state data indicative of a state of a user of the electronic device. The processor is configured to control an activation of the audio output device based upon the state data. The activation of the audio output device is based upon first setting data when the state data indicates a first state. The activation of the audio output device is based upon second setting data when the state data indicates a second state.

  • Patent number: 9133835
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling vacuum pressure is provided. The apparatus includes a multiple axis controller, such as a dual axis footpedal, and a processing apparatus, such as an instrument host running software, configured to receive multiple axis data from the multiple axis controller. The apparatus also includes a first pump configured to provide nonzero fluid pressure at a first nonzero fluid pressure level based on a first axis state of the multiple axis controller and a second pump configured to provide nonzero fluid pressure at a second nonzero fluid pressure level based on a second axis state of the multiple axis controller. The processing apparatus causes switching between the first pump and the second pump based on the first axis state and the second axis state of the multiple axis controller.

  • Publication number: 20140380423
    Abstract: An authorization system for dynamically awarding permissions to a requestor for performing an action, based on real-time monitored statistics of the requestor. The authorization system comprises a processor and a memory. The memory further comprises a status database for storing real-time information corresponding to the requestor, and a rules database for storing rules to enable the authorization system in determining permissions for various requestors' requests to perform the action. Additionally, the memory includes a status determining module for determining status-data related to the requestor, and a permission awarding module to evaluate the status-data with a dynamically selected set of rules for awarding permission to a requestor's request. The memory further includes a risk estimation module for calculating risk associated in awarding the permission, and an action triggering module for triggering an associated action based on the calculated risk.
