20090121929 | METHOD FOR TRACKING CONTAINERS USING A LOW-RATE WIRELESS PERSONAL AREA NETWORK SYSTEM - A method for tracking a plurality of containers each joined to an electronic tracking device having routing capabilities and a WPAN-enabled radio receiver/transmitter configured to attempt to connect to a pre-configured WPAN upon being activated comprises activating the radio receiver/transmitter of each tracking device joined to a container being loaded onto a cargo vessel; receiving an indication from each tracking device that fails to connect to the WPAN; intermittently performing a network scan to locate each WPAN-connected tracking device; intermittently configuring the WPAN to include each WPAN-connected tracking device in a hybrid tree-mesh network topology; intermittently configuring routing information stored on each WPAN-connected tracking device to maintain mutual communication with each WPAN-connected tracking device and enable mutual communication between each WPAN-connected tracking device; receiving transport-related data from each WPAN-connected tracking device; transmitting the transport-related data to a control station through a LAN on the vessel; broadcasting a request to be routed between the WPAN-connected tracking devices in a depth-first traversal of the network topology that directs each WPAN-connected tracking device to enter a low-power mode when the depth-first traversal backtracks from the tracking device; and receiving an acknowledgment of the request communicated from each WPAN-connected tracking device when the tracking device enters the low-power mode. | 05-14-2009 |
20100040293 | Kinematic Based Authentication - In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for authentication by kinematic pattern match is provided. The computer implemented method prompts a user for a kinematic input, receives an element of a kinematic pattern to form a set of received elements, and determines whether there are additional elements of the kinematic pattern. Responsive to a determination that there are no additional elements of the kinematic pattern, forms a kinematic pattern from the set of received elements and computes a signature from the set of received elements. The computer implemented method further determines whether the signature matches a predetermined value, and responsive to a determination that the signature matches a predetermined value, sends an authentication signal. | 02-18-2010 |
20100235342 | TAGGING SYSTEM USING INTERNET SEARCH ENGINE - A method of acquiring tags using web search includes receiving a search query in a search engine, processing the search query and returning a list of candidate resources corresponding to the search query, determining a candidate resource out of the list of candidate resources, extracting tags from the search query, and tagging the candidate resource with the extracted tags. | 09-16-2010 |

20150290375 | VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICES - An implantable blood pump includes a control unit storing patient specific settings. The control unit is configured to store patient specific settings. The patient specific settings can be used to determine a target operating speed for the blood pump and/or a target operating mode for the blood pump. The patient specific settings can include at least one of an operating mode for the pump, a set speed for the pump, a lower speed limit for the pump, a patient hematocrit value, a patient hematocrit date, a patient blood density, and a periodic log rate for event and periodic data. | 10-15-2015 |
20150290376 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR UPGRADING VENTRICLE ASSIST DEVICES - Methods, systems, and devices for an updatable blood pump are disclosed herein. The blood pump can be part of a mechanical circulatory support system that can include a system controller and the blood pump. The blood pump can include a rotary motor and a control unit that can communicate with the system controller. The system controller can initiate the update process and can provide the update to the blood pump. Upon initiation of the update process, the control unit can stop the rotary motor. While the rotary motor is stopped, the blood pump can be updated. At the completion of the update, the rotary pump can be restarted. | 10-15-2015 |
20150290378 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR LVAD OPERATION DURING COMMUNICATION LOSSES - Methods, systems, and devices for an adaptable blood pump are disclosed herein. The blood pump can be part of a mechanical circulatory support system that can include a system controller and the blood pump. The blood pump can include a rotary motor and a control unit that can communicate with the system controller. The blood pump can determine when communication with the system controller is established or has been lost. The blood pump can retrieve one or several back-up parameters when communication with the system controller has been lost, and can operate according to these back-up parameters. | 10-15-2015 |
