    摘要: An external adaptive control system and method control a traffic signal controller assembly. The external adaptive control system determines a non-linear schedule with one or more states corresponding to one or more individual phases with each state having a start time and a duration. The external adaptive control system generates presence data for reception by the controller assembly for each state and its associated duration.

    摘要: Intelligent refrigerator system for storing pharmaceutical product containers, such as vials, ampules, syringes, bottles, medication tubes, blister packs and cartons, at the point of dispensing. Embodiments of the invention use product identification technology, such as radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and readers, to uniquely identify containers as they are added to or removed from the cold storage compartment of the refrigerator, and automatically retrieve from a local or remote database a variety of details associated with the containers and their contents, such as manufacturing data, expiration dates, time out of refrigeration, inventory levels, safety information, usage statistics, known contraindications and warnings, etc. If the details indicate that there is a problem with a particular pharmaceutical (e.g., that it is counterfeit, expired, suspect, spoiled, recalled or almost depleted), then a message or warning is automatically delivered to a human operator via an attached output device, such as a display screen, speaker or printer. Embodiments of the invention may also be configured to monitor and report temperature faults, power failures and other anomalies associated with the refrigerator or cold storage compartment.

    摘要: The present invention provides an order management and execution system and computer-implemented method for managing orders in an environment where the customer may utilize internal accounting and trading procedures that require filling a number of internal and external trading requirements for a number of internal and external trading accounts. The invention, which may be used in a variety of different trading contexts and for a variety of asset classes, automatically converts the internal trading requirements to external trading requirements and builds external orders, which are optionally netted and executed in the market using an asset trading execution system. Then the invention automatically converts the executed external requirements back to the appropriate internal requirements, records the internal requirements as filled, and optionally downloads the appropriate execution completion records to the customer's trading system.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for ensuring that mobile robots are able to detect and avoid positive obstacles in a physical environment that are typically hard to detect because the obstacles do not exist in the same plane or planes as the mobile robot's horizontally-oriented obstacle detecting lasers. Embodiments of the present invention also help to ensure that mobile robots are able to detect and avoid driving into negative obstacles, such as gaps or holes in the floor, or a flight of stairs. Thus, the invention provides positive and negative obstacle avoidance systems for mobile robots.

    摘要: A hemodialytic angioacess device for implantation in dialysis patients, comprising an arteriovenous (AV) shunt, anastomotic valves that connect the AV shunt to blood vessels, a valve control system and an integrated surveillance system that measures flow conditions in the blood vessels at the AV shunt, preferably when the valves are closed and the patient is not undergoing dialysis treatment. The flow condition data, which may include data representing the flow rate, pressure, volume and velocity of blood flowing through the vessels, is stored in a memory and transmitted to a health care provider or technician on demand. The data can be used to calculate and monitor important physiological parameters, such as compliance and resistance, for the blood vessels, and help detect and identify dangerous conditions, such as turbulence and stasis, which can contribute to AV shunt failure, vessel injury and other serious complications for the patient.

    摘要: An adaptive control system controls a traffic signal at a critical intersection that has a most conflicting volume of traffic among volumes of traffic at intersections in a traffic network. The adaptive control system determines a plan identifying a guaranteed green light time and a minimum green duration and a period for the plan. The adaptive control system determines, based on the plan, a non-linear schedule with one or more states corresponding to one or more individual phases with each state having a state start time and a state duration. Queues for individual traffic movements at the critical intersection also may be used to determine the non-linear schedule. The adaptive control system controls the traffic signal according to the non-linear schedule. The adaptive control system transmits its plan to one or more other adaptive control systems for other intersections. The other adaptive control systems determine other plans based on the plan from the adaptive control system and an expected travel time between the critical intersection and the corresponding intersection.
