  • Patent number: 11965804
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and alerting to likely leaks in an electronic display assembly are provided. An electronic display assembly includes an electronic display, a testing area, and a differential pressure sensor fluidly connected to ambient air in an ambient environment and gas within the testing area. A controller determines one or more differential pressure readings based on data received from the differential pressure sensor, and generates and transmits an electronic notification where the differential pressure readings are below a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11944431
    Abstract: A system and a method for creating a stable and reproducible interface of an optical sensor system for measuring blood glucose levels in biological tissue include a dual wedge prism sensor attached to a disposable optic that comprises a focusing lens and an optical window. The disposable optic adheres to the skin to allow a patient to take multiple readings or scans at the same location. The disposable optic includes a Petzval surface placed flush against the skin to maintain the focal point of the optical beam on the surface of the skin. Additionally, the integrity of the sensor signal is maximized by varying the rotation rates of the dual wedge prisms over time in relation to the depth scan rate of the sensor. Optimally, a medium may be injected between the disposable and the skin to match the respective refractive indices and optimize the signal collection of the sensor.

  • Patent number: 11921010
    Abstract: Electronic display assemblies providing enhanced leak detection, and systems and methods related to the same, are provided. A differential pressure sensor detects a differential pressure between an ambient environment and a testing area of the electronic display assembly.

  • Publication number: 20230309011
    Abstract: A method at a sensor module within a sensor system for communicating with a gateway, the method including storing a timing profile for communications with the gateway; waking a radio core of the sensor module at a threshold time prior to a beacon signal being expected from the gateway; sampling a channel for the beacon signal at the radio core; if the beacon signal is detected: waking a processor on the sensor module; exchanging communication with the gateway; and powering down the processor and radio core upon completion of the exchanging communication.

  • Patent number: 11452076
    Abstract: A device obtains permission to use a Radio Frequency (RF) resource to transmit/receive data. The device comprises a transceiver and a processor that: controls the transceiver to communicate with a RF resource allocation system over the RF resource to determine whether the device can use the RF resource; while the transceiver communicates with the RF resource allocation system, repeatedly determines whether a cumulative use of the RF resource satisfies a condition until the processor determines that the cumulative use satisfies the condition or the device is permitted to use the RF resource; upon the processor determining that the cumulative use satisfies the condition, control the transceiver to not communicate with the RF resource allocation system over the RF resource for a period of time; and upon determining that the device is permitted to use the RF resource, controls the device to use the RF resource to transmit/receive the data.

  • Patent number: 11334125
    Abstract: An information handling system bezel provides a dynamic visual effect with layers of patterns coupled to the information handling system housing that provide a dynamic visual effect for an end user as the end user viewing angle changes. For example, an outer layer of the bezel has a first pattern, such as parallel vent lines, an inner layer of the bezel has a second pattern, such as geometric shapes, and a middle layer has both the first and second patterns aligned with the outer and inner layers to provide the dynamic visual effect based upon viewing angle through the outer layer to the inner layer, such as with a contrasting color of the first and/or second patterns at the middle layer.
