Publication number: 20240089217Abstract: According to embodiments herein e.g. a method performed by an orchestration agent unit for handling a service in a communications network is provided. The orchestration agent unit evaluate a number of intent types of the service based on a performance of one or more performance metrics related to intent of respective intent type when performed in the communications network including a plurality of orchestration agent units. The orchestration agent unit selects an intent type of the service based on the evaluation; and sends to at least one of the plurality of orchestration agent units, an indication indicating the selected intent type of the service.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2021Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Klaus RAIZER, Ricardo da Silva SOUZA, Amadeu Do Nascimento JUNIOR, Jean Paulo MARTINS

Publication number: 20230405514Abstract: A method for managing a pressure swing adsorption gas treatment unit, the unit having at least N adsorbers, N being a number greater than or equal to 6. Wherein, when a first group and a second group each comprise at least one operational adsorber and at least one defective adsorber. A method including a) shutting down the unit, b) isolating the defective adsorbers from the unit, c) configuring the connections to swap the instrumentation means of the defective adsorber of the first group with the instrumentation means of the operational adsorber of the second group, so that the first group once again, so far as the control device is concerned, comprises n operational adsorbers, and d) setting the control device so that it controls the unit by running the downgraded cycle, excluding the second group.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2021Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Paulo SILVA, Christian MONEREAU, Jan MATTHYSSEN, Pascal MEERMAN, Luc NELIS

Patent number: 11790204Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium on which is stored instructions that may cause the processor to create a 2D reference mesh for an image of a curved visual mark, establish correspondences between finder pattern points in the curved visual mark and points of the 2D reference mesh, and determine a curved 3D mesh having a radius that results in a minimal reprojection error of a projective transform estimated for correspondences between the 2D reference mesh and the curved 3D mesh while the radius remains below a predefined upper limit. The instructions may also cause the processor to sample components of the curved visual mark in elements of the determined curved 3D mesh to form a 2D planar image of the curved visual mark and analyze the 2D planar image of the curved visual mark to read the curved visual mark.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Lucas Silva Figueiredo, João Marcelo Xavier Natario Teixeira, João Paulo Silva do Monte Lima, Lucas Oliveira Maggi, Thiago de Menezes Chaves, Francisco Paulo Magalhaes Simoes, Lucas Valença Rocha Martins de Albuquerque, Veronica Teichrieb, Lucio Polese Cossio

Method and system for elevating elevator cars including allocating elevator cars to serve load calls
Patent number: 11383953Abstract: An elevator group control device may handle load calls for an elevator system having an elevator car, whereby a load call includes a departure floor, a destination floor, load specification data and a time period which the load is to be transported from the departure floor to the destination floor. The allocating may include reserving a particular portion of the floor area of the elevator car for the load during a portion of the time period, based on the load specification data and the particular portion being available to accommodate the load during the portion of the time period.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Kone CorporationInventors: Ilja Tauber, Ville Wilkman, Lauri Hautaniemi, Vahid Arabzadeh, Jinze Dou, Showmik Dasgupta, Lucky Ogege Eronmosele, Paulo Silva, Diogo Pinto, Sonia Soeiro, Claudia Barradas Fontes -

Patent number: 11079316Abstract: A laser spectrometer can be operated for analysis of one or more analytes present in a combustible gas mixture. The spectrometer can include one or more features that enable intrinsically safe operation. In other words, electrical, electronic, thermal, and/or optical energy sources can be limited within an hazardous are of the spectrometer where it is possible for an explosive gas mixture to exist. Methods, systems, articles and the like are described.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2016Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: SpectraSensors, Inc.Inventors: Keith Benjamin Helbley, Juergen Dessecker, Harald Mueller, Nikolai Fink, William Boyle, Peter Dorn, Paulo Silva

Patent number: 10449033Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for automated hair transplantation through the well-known extraction technique of capillary units or FUE, comprising the morphological analysis of hair follicles in real-time by means of artificial vision, mapping of points for extraction and implant, simulation of the final result, a system of local anaesthesia, global, simultaneous or in sequential phases, at least one articulated mechanical arm associated with a tool for differentially extracting and implanting hair follicles. The present invention is useful to reduce the time and cost associated with the intervention, improve the quality of the operation and the final result, in terms of capillary density, contemplating the study of cell differentiation of follicles with the required estimate of time required regarding the growth.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2014Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: COSMIKBALANCE LDAInventors: Paulo Silva Ramos, Fatima Cruz Funy Garces, José Almeida Gracio, Abilio Ribeiro Borges, Carlos Madail De Sa Martins

Patent number: 9895646Abstract: A pressure swing adsorption process for producing a gas stream enriched in a compound X from a feed gas stream is provided. The process includes at least 2 adsorbers, with each adsorber being subjected to a pressure cycle having a high pressure and a low pressure. The process includes adsorption at the high pressure with production of the gas stream enriched in compound X, depressurization to the low pressure with production of at least one portion of an elution gas, c) elution at the low pressure, and repressurization to the high pressure. The pressure cycle has a phase time corresponding to the duration of a pressure cycle divided by the number of adsorbers. The pressure of the pressure cycle is modified to keep the phase time of the PSA equal to or within ±5% of the nominal phase time.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2014Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: L'Air Liquide, SociétéAnonyme pour l'Etude et l'Exploitation des Procédés Georges ClaudeInventors: Christian Monereau, Yann-Pierrick Lemaire, Louis Toulemonde, Paulo Silva
