Patent number: 11554230Abstract: Systems and methods for clinician decision support during mechanical ventilation of a patient comprise evaluating a shape and/or characteristics of a waveform to detect an anomaly. While mechanical ventilators are equipped with a number of alarms and alerts when monitored patient data breaches various alarm thresholds, some anomalies in patient data may go unnoticed by clinicians.

Patent number: 9921669Abstract: Operation display device includes a display, an operation part, and an arithmetic and control part. The arithmetic and control part includes: an analysis processing part analyzing an operation content of an operation object; and a display processing part determining a shape and a position of a figure for operation displayed on the display according to the operation content analyzed by the analysis processing part. The analysis processing part has a function of classifying the operation content of the operation object into a moving operation for changing the position of the figure for operation and an adjustment operation for adjusting a control amount. When a contact position to the operation part is out of a tracking range set in accordance with the position of the figure for operation, the display processing part displaces the figure for operation so that the contact position of the operation object is within the tracking range.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tomikazu Imai

Patent number: 9792798Abstract: In an example embodiment, biometric data and environmental data are obtained from sensors. Corporate information system (CIS) information is retrieved for a worker, with the CIS information including a schedule of tasks assigned to the worker. A task currently being performed by the worker is determined based on the schedule of tasks. Weights are assigned to the biometric data and the environmental data. The weights vary between data from different sensors, with the weights assigned based on the task currently being performed by the worker. A current safety score is assigned for the worker based on the calculation of a formula, with the formula using the assigned weights as coefficients to variables, with the variables being values obtained from the biometric data and the environmental data. The current safety score is compared to a safety threshold, and if the threshold is violated, an alert is generated to the worker.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2017Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: James Jobin, Roberto Silveira Silva Filho, Bo Yu

Patent number: 9721010Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for annotating content based upon user reaction data and/or for maintaining a searchable content repository. That is, a user may request and/or opt-in for user reaction data to be detected while a user is experiencing content (e.g., watching a movie, walking through a park, interacting with a website, participating on a phone conversation, etc.). Metadata associated with the content may be used to determine when and/or what sensors to use to detect the user reaction data (e.g., metadata specifying an emotional part of a movie). The content may be annotated with a reaction annotation corresponding to the user reaction data, which may be used to organize, search, and/or interact with the content. A search interface may allow users to search for content based upon annotation data and/or aggregated annotation data of one or more users who experienced the content.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Emmanouil Koukoumidis, Brian Beckman, Nicholas Donald Atkins Lane, Arjmand Micheal Samuel

Patent number: 9720955Abstract: A computing device is described that includes at least one processor and a memory including instructions that when executed cause the at least one processor to output, for display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys, and determine, based on an indication of a selection of one or more keys from the plurality of keys, text of an electronic communication. The instructions, when executed, further cause the at least one processor to identify, based at least in part on the text, a searchable entity or trigger phrase, generate, based on the searchable entity or trigger phrase, a search query, and output, for display, within the graphical keyboard, a graphical indication to indicate that the computing device generated the search query.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jing Cao, Alexa Greenberg, Abhanshu Sharma, Yanchao Su, Nicholas Kong, Muhammad Mohsin, Jacek Jurewicz, Wei Huang, Matthew Sharifi, Benjamin Sidhom

Patent number: 9329840Abstract: The present invention provides a set of blocks for creating device drivers. Since, for most computational devices, device driver code to configure and control an I/O interface may be decomposed into a small finite number of common software functions, by providing a block set comprising blocks representing the finite number of common software functions, custom device drivers can be created for any number of devices. Thus, by providing a set of generalized device driver blocks that can be parameterized by the user, specific instances of custom device drivers can be created as needed. Processor and device specific driver code can then be generated from the custom device driver.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2014Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: David Koh, Zijad Galijasevic
