  • Patent number: 12092063
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, remarkable improvements in H2-ICE performance may be achieved with the combination of Active Scavenge Prechamber technology and Predictive Model-Based Spark Control to overcome the drawbacks of known combustion technologies. In certain embodiments, advanced combustion modeling and simulations of the ignition process including the spark event, the arc-travel and stretching, and resulting flame propagation may be used to predict the relationship between the spark energy/power, the flow within the electrode gap, and the flame development (SOC) for different engines, different spark plugs and at various conditions. This information may be used to adjust the spark energy/power characteristic during the same cycle spark event, to minimize the SOC variations and to significantly reduce the propensity to combustion anomalies, such as backfire, knock and preignition, that prevent achieving high engine power densities and efficiencies.

  • Patent number: 12092203
    Abstract: A planetary gear assembly including an input sun gear; a first plurality of planetary gears driven by the input sun gear; a planet carrier coupled with the first plurality of planetary gears; and an output sun gear wherein rotation of the input sun gear drivingly rotates the planet carrier at a first rotational speed and the output sun gear at a different second rotational speed. An output shaft fixed to the planet carrier and the output sun gear are simultaneously rotated about a common longitudinal axis at the different speeds by rotation of the input sun gear. The output sun gear is accessible through a longitudinal passage in the output shaft. A PTO shaft is drivingly couplable with the output sun gear by inserting a first end of the PTO shaft into longitudinally extending passage or with the planet carrier by inserting the second end of the PTO shaft.

  • Patent number: 12089905
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for a surgical robot with extended operational range in which a user inputs the surgical robot's movements and locations in a CAD environment through a surgical robot network and the surgical robot movements and locations are stored as a data file. The surgical robot network sends the surgical robot movements and locations data files to the surgical robot which extracts the data file containing the surgical robot movements and locations. The surgical robot then executes the data files containing the surgical robot movements and locations and sends a completion status of the movements and locations and the surgical robot executes a data file containing the robotic movements to perform aspects of the surgical procedure.

  • Patent number: 12096054
    Abstract: Systems and methods for bandwidth-limited video transport are configured to receive (or otherwise discern) a selection of video parameter limits that correspond to a bandwidth limit and apply the video parameter limits to an input video stream to enforce the bandwidth limit while preserving video quality. Methods may include adjusting the video stream one parameter at a time until the adjusted video stream meets the bandwidth limit. Parameters to be adjusted may include image resolution, frame rate, image compression, color depth, bits per pixel, and/or color encoding. In some embodiments, the image resolution is reduced first, the frame rate is reduced next, and the image compression is increased last. The extent and/or order of the adjustments of the parameters may be selected by the user, based on the content of the video stream, and/or based on the bandwidth limit.
