No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “In recent years, logistics systems have been somewhat automated, in which robots may perform logisticsrelated tasks or assist workers in logistics-related tasks. Meanwhile, some logistics systems may use location codes for the convenience of logistics management. The location code may refer to a character format code which is designated in association with a specific place (e.g., a specific passage, a specific rack, a specific cell, etc.) in a distribution warehouse etc. where an object is stored so as to specify the specific place. Meanwhile, a human worker may be able to immediately understand the character format location code and look for the location of the location code, but a robot cannot immediately understand the character format location code or look for the corresponding location using the location code, which is problematic.

    Patent Application Titled 'Apparatus And Methods For Predicting Improper Parking Events Within Electric Vehicle Charging Locations' Published Online (USPTO 20240037444)

    112-116页
    查看更多>>摘要：According to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inventor BEAUREPAIRE, Jerome (Nantes, FR), filed on July 29, 2022, was made available online on February 1, 2024. The assignee for this patent application is HERE Global B.V. (Eindhoven, Netherlands). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Electric vehicle charging stations are increasingly becoming common infrastructures within road networks. As charging stations are established, parking spaces designated for charging electric vehicles are needed. However, creating electric vehicle parking spaces requires additional land or conversion of pre-existing parking spaces into the electric vehicle parking spaces. As a number of new vehicles are continuously introduced within road networks, availability of parking spaces becomes limited, and incidences in which non-electric vehicles occupy electric vehicle parking spaces inevitably increase. Since electric vehicles must frequently recharge, electric vehicle users that plan long trips typically reserve one or more electric vehicle parking spaces and charging stations for use ahead of time to ensure a smooth travel. However, unexpected events in which such parking spaces are occupied by non-electric vehicles can be detrimental to the users’ trips since availability of other nearby charging stations and parking spaces thereof are not guaranteed and the users cannot readily estimate when such parking spaces will become available again. Therefore, there is a need in the art to remedy such issue.

    Researchers Submit Patent Application, 'Access Control To Secured Locations Using Relaxed Biometrics', for Approval (USPTO 20240038010)

    116-120页
    查看更多>>摘要：From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journalists report that a patent application by the inventors DUSZAK, Kris (Sunnyvale, CA, US); JUDAH, Kshitij (Sunnyvale, CA, US); MAKOWSKI, Gregory A. (Sunnyvale, CA, US), filed on July 26, 2023, was made available online on February 1, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Many access control and/or security systems utilize a physical access device, such as a magnetic or radio frequency identifier (RFID) card, that can get lost, stolen, or used by a person other than the authorized individual associated with the physical access device. Other systems that use non-physical access devices, such as but not limited to systems that use biometric data, may be either slow in processing the received information and/or inaccurate in granting or denying access to a secure location. “Additionally, many biometrics based security systems currently violate personal identifiable information (PII) regulations in certain geographic regions, and therefore cannot be applied without modifications.

    Patent Application Titled 'Intervention System And Method For Supporting Groups Of People In The Use Of An Intervention System' Published Online (USPTO 20240038384)

    127-132页
    查看更多>>摘要：According to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inventors Kaethner, Christian (Freiburg, DE); Pfister, Marcus (Bubenreuth, DE), filed on July 27, 2023, was made available online on February 1, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “During medical interventions, for example minimally invasive interventions, for the purpose of diagnosis and/or therapy, it is known to insert medical instruments into the human body. Such instruments may include for example guide wires, catheters, needles, and the like. Examples of minimally invasive medical interventions include the placement of stents and the detection of stenoses. When working in the vascular system, for example navigation may be achieved by rotating and advancing a guide wire or the medical instrument, for example a catheter, at the actual point of insertion, for example the groin of the patient. It has already been proposed to support such interventions by a robot that may assume responsibility, for example for the manipulation of the at least one inserted medical instrument. Such a robot is therefore an example of an intervention device that is used during an intervention. Other examples of intervention devices may be other supporting devices, for example imaging devices such as x-ray devices having a C-arm (“angiography systems”).

    Patent Issued for Surface topography measurement systems (USPTO 11889173)

    132-135页
    查看更多>>摘要：From Alexandria, Virginia, NewsRx journalists report that a patent by the inventors Adelson, Edward H. (Winchester, MA, US), Rohaly, Janos (Concord, MA, US), filed on May 17, 2021, was published online on January 30, 2024. The patent’s assignee for patent number 11889173 is GelSight Inc. (Waltham, Massachusetts, United States). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “One type of high-resolution system for measuring surface topography uses a clear elastomer with a reflective coating disposed on a rigid optical substrate. While such systems usefully permit many types of accurate, detailed surface measurements, the elastomer can delaminate and become damaged over the course of multiple uses. At the same time, replacing the elastomer is error prone, and can be challenging for end users of such systems. There remains a need for improved surface topography measurement systems that facilitate rapid and convenient elastomer changes by end users.”

    'Wire Tensioning System' in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240039265)

    135-139页
    查看更多>>摘要：A patent application by the inventors Lindquist, David (Cameron, MO, US); Naber, William (Saint Joseph, MO, US); Nichols, Robert (Saint Joseph, MO, US); Schlup, Cole (Savannah, MO, US), filed on May 15, 2023, was made available online on February 1, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “ “Embodiments of the invention relate to wire tensioning systems. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to wire tensioning systems adapted for electrical utility applications. “Typically, a lineman uses a ratchet strap and clamp to tension an electrical cable in order to replace or remove a dead-end insulator. This process involves applying a tensioning force to the electrical cable such that the dead-end insulator may be removed without accidentally letting the live powerline fall out of control of the lineman. In current systems, preventing this from occurring is achieved with a series of clamps and ratchet straps. The ratchet strap is connected to a utility pole and held fast while the clamp is attached to an electrical cable. The ratchet strap is then tightened to tension the electrical cable. These ratchet straps and clamps require skill to handle and often require more dexterity than two hands provide. In some cases, remotely operated equipment controlled by an operator may be elevated to the electrical cable instead of a lineman. The remotely operated equipment removes the lineman from the work area. However, existing ratchet systems are not suitable for use by remotely operated equipment. They possess the same lack of dexterity that linemen possess when using the ratchet straps and clamps to tension the electrical cable.”

    Researchers Submit Patent Application, 'Snake-Like Robot', for Approval (USPTO 20240033902)

    139-141页
    查看更多>>摘要：From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journalists report that a patent application by the inventor Bilsky, Matthew (Bethlehem, PA, US), filed on October 9, 2023, was made available online on February 1, 2024. The patent’s assignee is FLX Solutions Inc. (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, United States). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “When a new house is built, all necessary electrical, plumbing, etc. are run prior to closing up the walls. This is fittingly referred to as new work electrical. The unrestricted access to the wall makes the installation of these systems a trivial exercise for the seasoned vocational worker. Likewise, once the drywall or plaster has been hung making changes within the walls becomes exponentially more difficult. Routes must be planned to minimize the number of access holes cut in the wall face. A sense of how homes are put together becomes a pre-requisite to tactfully complete a project in a minimally invasive manner. This art is known as old work electrical.

    Researchers Submit Patent Application, 'Method And Apparatus For Prescription Management', for Approval (USPTO 20240038352)

    141-142页
    查看更多>>摘要：From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journalists report that a patent application by the inventors Pirani, Shafaat (Lutz, FL, US); Thompson, Brett (Lutz, FL, US), filed on September 26, 2023, was made available online on February 1, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “The filling of prescriptions has become a complex process. A patient must coordinate with their provider, pharmacy, payor, and the pharmacy benefit management (PBM) company to ensure that the prescription is covered by the patient’s insurance. In addition, the patient must choose a pharmacy that accepts the patient’s insurance and within their PBM’s network. There are also several price comparison and price reduction applications that can be used to determine the lowest price for the prescribed medication (e.g., GoodRx, SingleCare, Pharmacy Checker, Amazon Pharmacy, Rx Saver, and the like). If the patient does use insurance, the claim must be handled properly, and coverage must be reviewed to make sure it is correct and that the proper amounts have been paid and/or credited to a patient deductible. There are many different coverage plans, and the coverage varies with each plan. In addition, there are circumstances where it may be better to not use insurance and pay out-of-pocket for a prescription. However, it is difficult to make all of these calculations and decisions at the moment of purchase or fulfillment of a prescription.
