  • Publication number: 20230384056
    Abstract: A sight installation device, comprising a body having a notch which is capable of receiving a pistol slide with a sight receiving groove, the notch possessing a first and a second lateral sidewall, and an at least one horizontal brace abutment. The sight installation device's body also has at least one guide channel proximate the notch, in which a pusher bit is longitudinally slidable and configured so as to contact a sight element directly in line with the pistol slide's sight-receiving groove. The sight installation device also possesses a drive screw configured to engage an opening in the body proximate the guide channel, the drive screw engaging the opening and configured to engage the pusher bit.

  • Patent number: 11755964
    Abstract: A user of a personal computing device may identify multiple travel items of interest displayed for purchase by a network-based travel service. However, the user may not desire to purchase the travel items in a single purchase. Upon making a travel purchase that includes a first travel item that does not include a second travel item corresponding to the first travel item, the user may employ the network travel package service to search for second travel items corresponding to the first travel item, select from discounted travel packages including the first travel item and second travel items returned from the search, and purchase a discounted travel package. Beneficially, multiple travel items may be purchased separately while obtaining a package discount as compared to the stand-alone price of the travel items.

  • Publication number: 20230248277
    Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (herein “OCT”) based analyte monitoring systems are disclosed. In one aspect, techniques are disclosed that can identify fluid flow in vivo (e.g., blood flow), which can act as a metric for gauging the extent of blood perfusion in tissue. For instance, if OCT is to be used to estimate the level of an analyte (e.g., glucose) in tissue, a measure of the extent of blood flow can potentially indicate the presence of an analyte correlating region, which would be suitable for analyte level estimation with OCT. Another aspect is related to systems and methods for scanning multiple regions. An optical beam is moved across the surface of the tissue in two distinct manners. The first can be a coarse scan, moving the beam to provide distinct scanning positions on the skin. The second can be a fine scan where the beam is applied for more detailed analysis.

  • Publication number: 20230104471
    Abstract: There is described a method for interrogating optical fiber comprising fiber Bragg gratings (“FBGs”), using an optical fiber interrogator. The method comprises (a) generating an initial light pulse from phase coherent light emitted from a light source, wherein the initial light pulse is generated by modulating the intensity of the light; (b) splitting the initial light pulse into a pair of light pulses; (c) causing one of the light pulses to be delayed relative to the other of the light pulses; (d) transmitting the light pulses along the optical fiber; (e) receiving reflections of the light pulses off the FBGs; and (f) determining whether an optical path length between the FBGs has changed from an interference pattern resulting from the reflections of the light pulses.

  • Patent number: 11552724
    Abstract: Various examples are direct to computer-implemented systems and methods for providing an artificial multispectral metadata generator. A method includes receiving, by a computer system, an input data set, and determining attributes of the input data set to be transformed, retained, anonymized, or dropped. For the attributes to be transformed, the computer system generates three or more random noise sets, using at least two noise generation methods. An amalgamated random set is created from the three or more random noise sets using a programmable ratio, and the system uses the amalgamated random set to create an artificial data set that can be used to gain insights from the input data set without having access to the input data set.
