  • Publication number: 20220083953
    Abstract: The disclosed system identifies an unused medication and a current location of the unused medication, and determines that a new medication order can be prepared using the unused medication. Responsive to determining that the new medication order can be prepared using the unused medication, the system provides a preparation instruction to prepare the new medication order using the unused medication, determines a current geolocation of a global positioning system (GPS) receiver of a mobile device associated with a delivery person, the mobile device being remote from the one or more computing devices, determines based on the current geolocation of the GPS receiver of the mobile device and the unused medication, that the unused medication should be retrieved by the delivery person before or instead of a second medication, and provides, to the mobile device, an indication to retrieve the unused medication.

  • Patent number: 11256627
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for implementing a buffer cache for a persistent file system in a non-volatile memory is provided. A set of data is maintained in one or more extents in a non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) of a computing device. At least one buffer header is allocated in a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) of the computing device. In response to a read request by a first process executing on the computing device to access one or more first data blocks in a first extent of the one or more extents, the first process is granted direct read access of the first extent in the NVRAM. A reference to the first extent in the NVRAM is stored in a first buffer header. The first buffer header is associated with the first process. The first process uses the first buffer header to directly access the one or more first data blocks in the NVRAM.

  • Patent number: 11197374
    Abstract: A switched inductor DC-DC power converter chiplet includes a CMOS power switch, an LC filter, regulation circuitry, feedback control circuitry, and interface control circuitry integrated on a common substrate. The inductor for the LC filter can be formed on the same surface or on opposing surfaces of the substrate as the electrical terminations for the substrate. Another embodiment includes a switched inductor DC-DC power converter chiplet having a first powertrain phase and multiple second powertrain phases. When the load current is less than or equal to a threshold load current, the power conversion efficiency can be improved by only operating the first powertrain phase. When the load current is greater than the threshold load current, the power conversion efficiency can be improved by operating one or more second powertrain phases.

  • Publication number: 20210205563
    Abstract: A manufactured component, such as headgear or a headgear strap, for a patient interface for delivery of pressurised air or breathable gas to an entrance of a patient's airways may include a textile portion having a first material with a first melting point. It may also include a plastic portion over-moulded to the textile portion. The plastic portion may be formed of a second material having a second melting point. The melting points may be different such that the second melting point is chosen to be less than the first melting point of the first material. The component may be moulded in a multi-step process that moulds separate portions of the plastic portion and the textile portion at different times. The resulting plastic portion may then have a mechanical bond with the textile and may do so without significant chemical bonding between the plastic portion and the textile.
