  • Publication number: 20240151763
    Abstract: A device having a pulse catching function for detecting fault test pulses in an electrical power distribution network in response to a fault. The device includes one or more sensors for measuring current and/or voltage, where the device detects the pulses by loss of voltage followed by identifying one or more of a peak current magnitude of the pulses being greater than a predetermined current value, a pulse duration of the pulses being greater than a predetermined time, a predetermined interval between consecutive pulses and a presence of a pulse/inverse pulse sequence.

  • Publication number: 20240152659
    Abstract: A method of modifying a CAD system model performed on a data processing system includes receiving a dataset of co-ordinates representing an article in 2d, or in 3d and receiving 2d or 3d constraints respectively, to be applied to any changes to the dataset of co-ordinates for the article. A modification to be applied to the dataset is received and combined with the relevant 2d and 3d constraints to produce a constrained modification for each of the article and associated article. The constrained modification is solved in 2d and in 3d to determine whether a solution exists in which all constraints are met. If the solve is successful, the constrained modification is applied to each dataset simultaneously and, updated datasets are stored. If the solve fails, the constraints may be reduced and the solve step repeated, or the process is terminated.

  • Publication number: 20240155318
    Abstract: A first wireless communication device (UE device) associated with a certain user (or included in a specified set/group of UE devices) may establish a first communication link with an accessory device according to a short-range radio access technology, and transmit link (pairing) information associated with the first communication link to a server, such as a cloud-based server. The server may share this (first) link information with other UE devices associated with the same user (or belonging to the same specified group of UE devices as the first UE device). Link information associated with the other UE devices (i.e. second link information) may equally be shared with the accessory device, and the other UE devices and accessory device may use the first link information and second link information in establishing respective communication links between any of the other UE devices and the accessory device without having to undergo a pairing procedure.

  • Publication number: 20240151519
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting an angle of rotation of a rotating member includes a light source configured to emit light rays which are conditioned by a light conditioner to control a light beam geometry and emission pattern of the light rays. The conditioned rays are incident on an optical disk that emits refracted rays in form of a light spot on an optical detector. The optical disk rotates in synchronization with the rotating member. The optical detector uses position of the light spot to output an analog signal continuous and ratio-metric to the angle of rotation of the rotating member.

  • Patent number: 11978009
    Abstract: A system receives content of a memory resource. The system compares the content of the memory resource with a first resource data associated with a first physical space, and with a second resource data associated with a second physical space. The system determines which of the first physical space and the second physical space can fulfill more than a threshold percentage of objects in the memory resource based on the comparison between the content of the memory resource with the first and second resource data. The system determines that the first physical space can fulfill more than the threshold percentage of objects in the memory resource. The system assigns the first physical space to the memory resource for concluding an operation associated with the memory resource.

  • Publication number: 20240145099
    Abstract: A respiratory disease analytics system provides respiratory disease risk reports to a patient, provider, or third-party entity describing a patient's risk of experiencing a medication usage event given data in a geographic region. Regional data, including air pollutant conditions, weather conditions, demographic information, built environment factors, and regional health conditions for a geographic region are accessed from other sources and assigned based on event data recorded during a medicament usage event, as collected by sensors associated with the patient's medicament device/s. The regional data is assigned to medicament usage events occurring within a period of time. The assigned regional data is analyzed to determine an expected number of medication usage events for the geographic region occurring over the period of time.
