  • Publication number: 20240342425
    Abstract: A humidification system for delivering humidified gases to a user can include a heater base, humidification chamber having an inlet, outlet, and associated fluid conduit, and breathing circuit including a supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit. The humidification system can include various features to help make set-up less difficult and time-consuming. For example, the supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit can be coupled into a one-piece circuit to aid set-up. Various components can be color-coded and can have corresponding structures to indicate which components should be connected to one another during set-up. Such features can also help make the set-up process more intuitive for an operator, which can reduce the need for specialized training and reduce the number of potential errors.

  • Patent number: 12087275
    Abstract: Systems and methods for text-to-speech with novel speakers can obtain text data and output audio data. The input text data may be input along with one or more speaker preferences. The speaker preferences can include speaker characteristics. The speaker preferences can be processed by a machine-learned model conditioned on a learned prior distribution to determine a speaker embedding. The speaker embedding can then be processed with the text data to generate an output that includes audio data descriptive of the text data spoken by a novel speaker.

  • Publication number: 20230402816
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a wafer bonding method for heterogenous integration of multiple wafers to a carrier substrate and bonding multiple functional wafers to the substrate to transfer semiconductor thin films. A routing layer for electrical or optical signals is defined on the substrate before a first wafer is bonded to the substrate and is optionally buried with subsequent planarization. Functional ridges are lithographically defined and etched after the first wafer is bonded to the substrate and a thin film is transferred to the substrate. A portion of the wafer surface is then cleared to expose the initial bonding surface on the substrate. A second wafer is bonded to the resulting material by etching pockets in the second functional wafer at the locations of the functional ridges from the first wafer bond.

  • Patent number: 11271023
    Abstract: A quantum waveguide infrared photodetector includes: a photon absorption layer that receives infrared photons propagating longitudinally along a longitudinal length of the photon absorption layer, converts the infrared photons into electrons, and communicates the electrons to a conductor layer; a first conductor layer that receives a first electrical potential; and a second conductor layer that receives a second electrical potential, wherein electrons produced by the photon absorption layer are communicated from the photon absorption layer: to the first conductor layer when the first electrical potential is more positive than the second electrical potential, and to the second conductor layer when the second electrical potential is more positive than the first electrical potential, an electrical current produced by the electrons is proportional to an amount of absorption of the infrared photons in the photon absorption layer.

  • Patent number: 11086193
    Abstract: A self-referencing nonlinear frequency converting photonic waveguide includes: a supercontinuum input optical taper; a supercontinuum nonlinear optical member that produces supercontinuum light spanning an optical octave with respect to input light; and a supercontinuum output optical taper; a second harmonic input optical taper; a second harmonic nonlinear optical member that receives the supercontinuum light and produces second harmonic light from the supercontinuum light, the second harmonic light including a second harmonic of the supercontinuum light; and a second harmonic output optical taper that receives the second harmonic light, the supercontinuum light, and the input light and co-propagates the second harmonic light, the supercontinuum light, and the input light from the second harmonic generator section as output light.

  • Publication number: 20200173951
    Abstract: A microfluidic pH-stat with a specially-is designed slide and portable device can be used for point-of-care enzyme diagnostics. The slide includes a microchamber and a substrate for the enzyme being tested. The substrate is homogenized with the sample in the microchamber to form a test volume. The microchamber includes a working microelectrode that injects current to split water in the test volume to generate hydrogen ions and/or hydroxide ions and a micro-pH-electrode to measure a pH of the test volume; the slide also includes a reference microelectrode. The device includes a processor to adjust the injected current based on the pH of the test volume and determine an activity of the enzyme based on an amount the injected current is adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20160004824
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and apparatus is provided for providing prioritization of subunits. Visual indications of the prioritization may be displayed on interfaces such as geospatial arrangement. Medical facilities may utilize embodiments to indicate priorities of rooms to which to admit incoming patients. Users and staff within a particular unit may therefore prioritize subunits according to the unit's needs. Users in bed management, which may operate remotely from the unit, may easily identify high priority rooms to which to admit incoming patients. Priorities of subunits may be reassigned accordingly as prioritized subunits are utilized, and as other subunits are newly prioritized.
