  • Publication number: 20230352123
    Abstract: A computer system is disclosed for designing molecules with a desired property (e.g., the ability to inhibit SARS-CoV-2). The computer system includes a computer-based processor and a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the computer-based processor, cause the computer-based processor to embody: a computer-based search engine configured to search for proposed molecules, a computer-based property predictor to predict a likelihood of the desired property being present in the proposed molecules, and a computer-based energy model to approximate a degree of similarity between the proposed molecules and molecules known to possess the desired property. The search is guided by the property predictor's predictions and the energy model's approximations.

  • Patent number: 11698383
    Abstract: A sensor mounting device and method to accurately mount a sensor to a test asset for data collection and component validation, the sensor mounting device including a leveling plate equipped with a level indicator, an alignment shelf adapted to constrain the movement of a sensor and hold the sensor level relative to the level indicator, and various protruding structures for aligning the mounting device with the test asset. The sensor mounting device may further include a base structure to support the leveling plate and allow a user to adjust the vertical position of the sensor to be mounted. The base structure may include a plurality of spanning members on which the leveling plate is mounted as to allow the leveling plate to be adjusted vertically.

  • Publication number: 20230130949
    Abstract: An electrical module rotisserie assembly for battery module handling and mechanical and electrical testing. The electrical module rotisserie assembly includes a rotatable frame structure with various sliders and insulated joints to provide an adjustable platform to fit any size electrical module and permit access to any surface of the electrical module for various testing and validation activities in an electrically-isolated manner. A plurality of modular adjustable hold down clamps secure the electrical module to the rotatable structure and slide along the structure to accommodate different electrical modules that may have different mounting formats. These adjustable hold down clamps benefit from polymer module pins that may be customized to fit any electrical module design and create electrical isolation for sensitive electrical testing.

  • Publication number: 20220192592
    Abstract: A method for canceling noises generated by a respiratory system that is configured to supply pressurized air to a user during a sleep session comprises generating sound data using a microphone; generating, using or one or more sensors, respiration data associated with respiration of the user of the respiratory system; analyzing the sound data to determine if noise associated with operation of the respiratory system is occurring; and causing a speaker to emit sound waves based at least in part on (i) the sound data, (ii) the respiration data, (iii) data related to the operation of the respiratory system, or (iv) any combination of (i), (ii), and (iii), the emitted sound waves being configured to acoustically cancel at least a portion of the noise associated with operation of the respiratory system.

  • Patent number: 10192187
    Abstract: Systems and methods of performing comparisons of client data and benchmark data are described. When client data is compared to internal benchmark data, comparative result values may be computed by performing a multidimensional operation with respect to client data for a particular dimension member and client data for additional dimension members that are related to the particular dimension member. When client data is compared to external benchmark data, a client result value may be computed based on a multidimensional operation and a benchmark result value may be determined based on a mapping of client dimension members to benchmark dimension members. The result values may be provided by a server to a client, which may generate a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the result values.
