Publication number: 20220399105Abstract: An operating room monitoring system (ORMS) may be uniquely configured for a particular operating room in order to provide custom monitoring and responses based on the unique characteristics of that operating room. The ORMS includes a sensor array of individual sensors placed around the operating room in positions determined by the type of sensor and the unique characteristics of the operating room. Data from the sensor array is collected and analyzed using an infection-reduction protocol. Analyzed data may include images and video, proximity data, airflow data, and climate data, for example. Protocol violations may result in tailored responses such as automatic adjustment of HVAC equipment, or generalized responses such as room-level visual or audible alerts.

Patent number: 10723985Abstract: A photobioreactor is described for cultivating phototrophic organisms and in particular a mat, as can be used in one such photobioreactor. The mat has a plurality of first fibres which are light conductive along their longitudinal direction and are constructed to decouple light conducted in the longitudinal direction laterally, at least somewhat transversely to the longitudinal direction. The mat furthermore has a plurality of second fibres which are electrically conductive along their longitudinal direction. With the aid of one such mat, light can on the one hand be coupled in the interior of a photobioreactor. On the other hand, a travelling electric alternating field can be generated by applying a suitable polyphase voltage from a voltage source with the aid of electrically conductive second fibres. This alternating field can act on electrically charged particles.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Airbus Defence and Space GmbHInventors: Johann Göbel, Jennifer Wagner, Robert Schreiber

Publication number: 20160201020Abstract: A photobioreactor and a photobioreactor system are proposed in order to cultivate phototrophic organisms for the purpose of generating fuels, for example. The photobioreactor comprises a container and at least one laterally light out-coupling light conductor mat. The phototrophic organisms are received in the container together with a nutrient solution. One or preferably more light conductor mats are arranged within the container and each comprises a plurality of light conducting fibres which are arranged and/or designed such that light which is coupled into a fibre at one end of the fibre leaves the fibre laterally at least in part. A large adjacent volume within the container can thus be extensively illuminated by means of the light conductor mat, in order to thus increase efficiency of the photobioreactor. A photodetector that is externally coupled to the fibres can allow on-site monitoring of vital functions of the organisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2016Publication date: July 14, 2016Inventors: Johann Göbel, Robert SCHREIBER, Jennifer WAGNER

Publication number: 20060153582Abstract: A method of using toner concentration (TC) as an active actuator in the tonal reproduction curve (TRC) controller, so that not only will the TRC controller maintain the TRC of the output, but also all the electrostatic actuators will not diverge, and the toner concentration will be within the latitude range of the xerographic system. The process ensures that the target of the toner concentration (TC) sensor will be changed properly in direction (up/down) and amplitude to compensate the TRC output of the print engine based on either reflective reactance readings and/or the level of the electrostatic actuators.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2005Publication date: July 13, 2006Inventors: Song-Feng Mo, Jennifer Wagner, Wendy Apton, Stephen Randall, Patricio Medina, Patrick Walker

Publication number: 20060153581Abstract: A method by which the target of a toner concentration (TC) sensor can be set up based on the equivalent developability concept without using an expensive patch generator. First, use a black toner area coverage (BTAC) sensor to measure the relative reflectance (RR) of a 100% area coverage developed patch (ROS generated) at a series of development levels (Vem or Vdev) to generate a pseudo development curve and estimate VdO in real-time (VdO is the Vdev level that starts to develop toner onto the photoreceptor belt.) Then, add a nominal delta Vdev to VdO to get the development level (Vdev) needed to generate 100% area coverage gray patch. Finally, using a BTAC sensor to measure the RR level of a 100% area coverage (AC) gray patch, move the target of the TC sensor, and converge the sensor's reading to the sensor's target continuously until the RR level of the gray patch hits the RR target (predefined) within the tolerance range. Thus, the target of the TC sensor is set for the xerographic system automatically.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2005Publication date: July 13, 2006Inventors: Song-Feng Mo, Wendy Apton, Jennifer Wagner, Stephen Randall, Patricio Medina, Patrick Walker, Richard Aman
