  • Publication number: 20240142321
    Abstract: A soft pressure sensing apparatus is provided. In one aspect of the present pressure sensing apparatus, a polymeric member, including conductive particles therein, is located between offset angled and crossing sets of electrodes. A further aspect includes a controller configured to calculate at least one regularized least-squares algorithm, to reduce cross-talk between the resistive members. In another aspect, a pressure sensor apparatus includes a piezoresistive film encapsulated between layers of substantially perpendicular electrodes to create a resistor network circuit where the ability to reconstruct cell resistance from measured two-point resistance. A method of manufacturing a pressure sensor includes using a mechanical vinyl cutter for the electrodes and/or piezoelectric resistive members.

  • Publication number: 20240104645
    Abstract: A method for identifying a set of optimized financing programs to provide to a merchant may include receiving historical loan application data defining historical parameters associated with corresponding historical loan applications, replacing at least a portion of the historical parameters of the historical loan application data with new parameters associated with different loan terms to define a simulated loan data set defining simulated financing programs, determining a selection probability score for each of the simulated financing programs, the selection probability score indicating a likelihood of customer selection of each respective one of the simulated financing programs, determining a cash flow rating for each of the simulated financing programs, the cash flow rating estimating cash flow over time for the each respective one of the simulated financing programs, determining a valuation score based on the selection probability score and the cash flow rating of the each respective one of the simulated

  • Publication number: 20050206639
    Abstract: A safety and protective personal computer power supply display device for usage in a power supply attached to a personal computer, and which comprises at least a display unit embedded in a case of or externally connected to the original power supply, and enabled to display status of the original power supply; a processing unit configured within the case of the original power supply, and which can read status of the original power supply, including power loss, power consumption, voltage, and so on; and a power supply unit electrically connected to the processing unit. Wherein detection and control from the processing unit, and display of pertinent information on the display unit allow an understanding of status of related working power supply of the original power supply, thereby realizing early response preparation, and further enhancing protective function of the original power supply, lowering probability of malfunction and reducing maintenance costs.
