Patent number: 11443612Abstract: A rescue system includes a receiver, an emergency medical staff arrival time estimation unit, an acquisition unit, a user arrival time estimation unit, and a transmitter. The receiver receives a request for rescue of a rescued person and rescued person location information. The emergency medical staff arrival time estimation unit estimates an emergency medical staff arrival time at which an emergency medical staff arrives at the rescued person based on the rescued person location information. The acquisition unit acquires user location information of a registered user that is a candidate for a rescuer. The user arrival time estimation unit estimates the user arrival time when the registered user arrives at the rescued person based on the user location information. The transmitter transmits the request for rescue to the registered user that is able to arrive earlier than the emergency medical staff.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2021Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masahiro Nishiyama, Kenji Tsukagishi, Takahisa Kaneko, Erina Kigoshi, Aiko Miyamoto

Patent number: 11423762Abstract: This application is directed to techniques and processes for notifying a user about power levels of electronic devices. For example, a first electronic device may receive data representing the power level of a second electronic device. The first electronic device may then determine that the power level is below a threshold power level. After the determination, the first electronic device may detect a user and/or a client device located within a threshold distance to the first electronic device and/or the second electronic device. The first electronic device may then send data to the second electronic device, wherein the data includes a command to emit light according to a pattern indicating that the power level is below the threshold power level. Additionally, the first electronic device may send a message to the client device, where the message indicates that the power level is below the threshold power level.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ryan David Hruska, Elliott Lemberger, John Modestine, Sang Min Park, Michael V.

Patent number: 11399736Abstract: Ingestible bio-telemetry communication network and associated systems are described. The communication network can include one or more ingestible bio-telemetry tags; and a reader, wherein each of the one or more ingestible bio-telemetry tags generates an out-link signal comprising, for each bit of data in a frame, a pulse reverse keyed symbol. Multiple ingestible bio-telemetry tags can be managed at the same time by allowing the frequency of the transmit carrier signal to change, or “hop” to different frequencies so as to minimize likelihood of collision. A reader can identify the proper frequency either by a signal from the tags indicated the frequency of the next hop or, when no bi-directional communication is available, by deducing the carrier signal frequency from the start bits of a received frame from the tag and scanning for the shifted carrier signal frequency within a tolerance of the deduced carrier signal frequency.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: ETECTRX, INC.Inventors: Brent Arnold Myers, Judd Sheets

Patent number: 11363406Abstract: A radio access network system is described that determines a signal metric associated with a user equipment or device. The user equipment device can implement an altered transmission policy. The altered transmission policy can alter a strength of transmissions by increasing power consumption per transmission, increasing a length of timer per transmission, and altering other parameters of transmissions. The altered transmission policy can also alter an error correction policy. The error correction policy can indicate that error correction transmissions are to be decreased. The altered transmission policy can be implemented until the signal metric changes to a more desirable level.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Jeffrey Krinsky, Bahman Khosravi-Sichani
