  • Patent number: 11885834
    Abstract: In a described example, a circuit includes a sensor circuit including multiple magnetic field sensors having respective sensor outputs. The magnetic field sensors are configured to provide magnetic field sensor signals at the respective sensor outputs representative of a measure of current flow through a conductive structure. A combiner interface has combiner inputs and a combiner output. The combiner inputs are coupled to the respective sensor outputs. The combiner interface is configured to provide an aggregate sensor measurement at the combiner output responsive to the magnetic field sensor signals, in which the aggregate sensor measurement is decoupled from magnetic fields generated responsive to the current flow through the conductive structure.

  • Patent number: 11857729
    Abstract: A blower unit for use as part of an integrated blower/humidification system is described. The blower unit has an outer casing, which encloses and forms part of the blower unit, the casing including an air inlet vent. The blower unit further includes a humidifier compartment for receiving a humidifier unit with a separate gases inlet and outlet, the compartment having a heater base for heating the contents of the humidifier unit. The compartment also has a blower inlet port which aligns with the humidifier unit inlet in use, the blower providing a gases path through the casing between the inlet vent and the inlet port. The blower unit also includes a fan for providing a pressurised gases stream along the gases path, and a power supply unit for powering the fan. The gases path is routed over the power supply unit in order to provide a cooling air flow.

  • Patent number: 11861787
    Abstract: Aspects relate to tracing rays in 3-D scenes that comprise objects that are defined by or with implicit geometry. In an example, a trapping element defines a portion of 3-D space in which implicit geometry exist. When a ray is found to intersect a trapping element, a trapping element procedure is executed. The trapping element procedure may comprise marching a ray through a 3-D volume and evaluating a function that defines the implicit geometry for each current 3-D position of the ray. An intersection detected with the implicit geometry may be found concurrently with intersections for the same ray with explicitly-defined geometry, and data describing these intersections may be stored with the ray and resolved.

  • Patent number: 11849387
    Abstract: A methods and apparatuses for supporting device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless network is provided. According to embodiments, during a period where a D2D device 1 (D1) and a D2D device 2 (D2) are available for active D2D communications therebetween and when D2 identifies a need for a second communication with at least one of a base station or a different D2D device, the method includes transmitting, by D2, a D2D communication not available message (DNAM) to D1. The DNAM indicates that one or both of D1 and D2 are unavailable for active D2D communications therebetween. Upon receipt of the DNAM by D1, the method further includes transitioning, by D1, to a listening mode for receiving at least a D2D communication available message (DAM) from D2. The DAM indicates that D1 and D2 are available for active D2D communications therebetween.

  • Patent number: 11833353
    Abstract: Various embodiments of an interface control subsystem may be used between an electrode terminal and a recording terminal of a neurostimulation and neurorecording system. The interface control subsystem may operate in three modes. In a disable mode, a first transistor and a second transistor disposed between the electrode terminal and the recording terminal may operate in a cutoff region and generate a high impedance. In an active mode, the first transistor and the second transistor may operate in a saturation region and generate a low impedance. In a stimulation mode, the first transistor and the second transistor operate in a triode region and generate an impedance between the high impedance of the disable mode and the low impedance of the active mode. The interface control subsystem may further limit voltage at the recording terminal in response to a detected overvoltage condition.

  • Publication number: 20230360132
    Abstract: A disclosed system, method and computer readable storage medium includes mechanism for controlling cascade price movements in an electronic trading system. Price limits control the prices at which traders can place orders. An upper price limit prevents traders from placing orders above the upper limit and a lower price limit prevents traders from placing orders below the lower limit. The gap between the upper limit and the indicative marked price as well as the gap between lower limit and the indicative market price is controlled so as to cause a breaking effect on very rapidly changing market price.

    Abstract: An apparatus for automated mold polishing is disclosed. In an embodiment, the apparatus comprises at least a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor. The memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to receive a finish assignment for at least a surface of a part for manufacture. The processor then determines a polish strategy for the at least a surface as a function of a geometry of the at least a surface. A polishing tool may then be selected for the at least a surface as a function of the finish assignment and the polish strategy for the at least a surface. A reachable area is then determined of the at least a surface as a function of the polishing tool. The processor then generates a toolpath as a function of the reachable area.

  • Publication number: 20230351546
    Abstract: Aspects include a multistage collector to receive outputs from plural processing elements. Processing elements may comprise (each or collectively) a plurality of clusters, with one or more ALUs that may perform SIMD operations on a data vector and produce outputs according to the instruction stream being used to configure the ALU(s). The multistage collector includes substituent components each with at least one input queue, a memory, a packing unit, and an output queue; these components can be sized to process groups of input elements of a given size, and can have multiple input queues and a single output queue. Some components couple to receive outputs from the ALUs and others receive outputs from other components. Ultimately, the multistage collector can output groupings of input elements. Each grouping of elements (e.g., at input queues, or stored in the memories of component) can be formed based on matching of index elements.

  • Patent number: 11804010
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system instructs, at a first time, a camera having a plurality of pixel sensors to use the plurality of pixel sensors to capture a first image of an environment comprising an object. The computing system predicts, using at least the first image, a projection of the object appearing in a virtual image plane associated with a predicted camera pose at a second time. The computing system determines, based on the predicted projection of the object, a first region of pixels and a second region of pixels. The computing system generates pixel-activation instructions for the first region of pixels and the second region of pixels. The computing system instructs the camera to capture a second image of the environment at the second time according to the pixel-activation instructions.
