  • Patent number: 12145639
    Abstract: A method is provided for determining anomalies associated with a railcar wheel of a railcar wheelset, or a railcar bogie assembly that the railcar wheelset is part of, or a track, during motion of the railcar wheelset on a track. A wheel-mounted sensor ring is removably attached to a hub portion of a railcar wheel of a railcar wheelset. The sensor ring includes one or more sensors, such as inertial measurement units (IMU's), mounted thereto to measure parameters that are used for determining the anomalies during motion of the railcar wheel on the track. The railcar wheelset is moved on the track. The measured parameters are collected from the one or more sensors. The measured parameters are used for determining the anomalies during motion of the railcar wheel on the track.

  • Patent number: 12144688
    Abstract: The presently disclosed depth gauge device includes a tube with a measurement rod inserted into one end of the tube. The measurement rod includes a set of indicators associated with length values. A surgeon may translate the provided depth gauge device over a guidewire, which causes the guidewire to force the measurement rod partially out of the tube. Once the depth gauge device contacts bone, the indicator on the measurement rod that lines up with a designated spot on the tube indicates a guidewire depth into bone, which is equal to a screw length that is needed for the procedure. Additionally, the provided depth gauge device is constructed such that the measurement rod maintains its positioning in the absence of applied force. This enables a surgeon to remove the depth gauge device from the bone or completely from the guidewire when obtaining a measurement reading.

  • Patent number: 12147397
    Abstract: The present teaching generally relates to identifying data bucket overlap with online experiments. In a non-limiting embodiment, first data representing a first set of identifiers associated with a first data bucket of a first online experiment may be obtained. Second data representing a second set of identifiers associated with a second data bucket of the first online experiment may be obtained. Based on the first data and the second data, a first number of identifiers that are associated with the first data bucket and the second data bucket may be determined. In response to determining that the first number exceeds a threshold, a data flag indicating that results associated with the first online experiment are inconsistent may be generated.

  • Patent number: 12149729
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method selects a first template of pixels that is outside of a first block and a second template of pixels that is outside of the first block. Then, the method selects a first region of pixels that are inside the first block and a second region of pixels that are inside the first block. A first weight is calculated based on the first template of pixels and the first region of pixels and a second weight is calculated based on the second template of pixels and the second region of pixels. The first weight and the second weight are used in a motion prediction search for a second block.
