  • Patent number: 11978001
    Abstract: A system to provide an automated data driven risk relationship review tool via a back-end application computer server of an enterprise. A resource allocation data store may contain electronic records representing requested resource allocations between the enterprise and a plurality of entities. The server may receive an indication of a selected requested resource allocation and retrieve, from the resource allocation data store, the electronic record associated with the selected requested resource allocation. The server may automatically calculate a first and second review date for the selected requested resource allocation and automatically establish, between at least two parties, a communication link based on the calculation of the first review date for the selected requested resource allocation.

  • Publication number: 20240144600
    Abstract: A method is provided for generating a texture for a three-dimensional (3D) model of an oral structure. The method includes providing the 3D model of the oral structure in the form of a polygon mesh, identifying a set of points located on the polygon mesh, and determining, for each respective point in the set of points, a respective texture value. Each respective texture value is determined by identifying a set of frames, filtering the set of frames to identify a subset of frames, determining a set of candidate texture values for the respective texture value, computing, for each respective candidate texture value in the set of candidate texture values, a quality factor, and computing the respective texture value for the respective point by combining, based on their respective quality factors, candidate texture values selected from the set of candidate texture values.

  • Publication number: 20240146128
    Abstract: An electric motor, in particular for a kitchen machine, is proposed, wherein the rotor of the electric motor has a rotor core with a plurality of sector portions, between which permanent magnets are respectively arranged. The sector portions have outer sides with a changing radius of curvature, the radius of curvature decreasing continuously from the center of the respective outer side in the direction of the adjacent permanent magnets. Alternatively or additionally, the sector portions may have concave recesses each formed between an inner side of the sector portion and an extension extending transversely from the inner side. Further, a kitchen machine having a corresponding electric motor is proposed. Furthermore, a method of manufacturing an electric motor is proposed in which the electric motor is balanced by setting balancing holes on the axial end faces of the rotor core.

  • Publication number: 20240019678
    Abstract: A microscopy system and method of focusing the same are disclosed herein. The microscopy system may include an objective, and imaging device, an illumination source, an epi-illumination module, and a controller. The imaging device is configured to capture a single image of a specimen positioned on a stage of the microscopy system. The illumination source is configured to illuminate the specimen positioned on the stage. The epi-illumination module includes a focusing mechanism in a first primary optical path of a light generated by the illumination source. The focusing mechanism is tilted in relation to a plane perpendicular to the first primary optical path. The controller is in communication with the illumination source. The controller is configured to focus the microscopy system based on a pattern produced by the focusing mechanism on the single image captured by the imaging device.
