  • Method for forming nanofiber nonwoven products
    Patent number: 11965275
    Abstract: A method for tuning characteristics of a polyamide nanofiber nonwoven comprising the step of targeting a specific average nanofiber diameter and/or a specific relative viscosity for the polyamide nanofiber nonwoven. The specific average nanofiber diameter is within a range from 100 nm to 1000 nm and/or the specific relative viscosity is within a range from 5 to 75, e.g., from 15 to 50. The process further comprises the steps of extruding a polyamide composition having a moisture content with a pressurized gas through a fiber forming channel having a channel temperature to form the polyamide nanofiber nonwoven having the target average nanofiber diameter and/or relative viscosity and controlling the moisture content, the pressure of pressurized gas, and/or the channel temperature based on the specific average nanofiber diameter and/or the specific relative viscosity.

  • Enhanced integration of spreadsheets with external environments
    Patent number: 11966796
    Abstract: An enhanced integration of spreadsheet environments and external environments is disclosed herein that allows users to enter non-native statements directly into the cells of a worksheet so that external resources can be applied with respect to their values. In addition, a security model is disclosed whereby external functions referenced in the cells of a worksheet are executed in the context of a runtime environment that is secured apart from the spreadsheet application that hosts the worksheet. Various enhancements to the user experience are also disclosed that allow users to enter non-native statements in line with respect to the functional syntax that forms the basis of spreadsheet formulas.

  • System and method for predicting a need for total hip arthroplasty
    Patent number: 11967077
    Abstract: A system and method configured to better identify patient-specific anatomical landmarks, measure anatomical parameters and features, and predict the patient's need for surgery within a predetermined time period. In some embodiments, the system and method is configured to predict the likelihood or risk that a patient will require total hip arthroplasty. In some embodiments, the present invention includes machine learning technology Some embodiments of the present invention include a first ML machine configured to received medical images as inputs and identify anatomical landmarks as outputs; a measurement module to measure joint space width, hip dysplasia angles, and/or leg length differential; and a second ML machine configured to receive the anatomical measurements and patient demographic data as inputs and produce a risk or likelihood that the patient will require surgery within a certain time frame.

  • Low side lobe level integrated cavity backed slot array antenna system
    Patent number: 11967765
    Abstract: An antenna system operates in a hybrid coplanar waveguide and rectangular waveguide mode. A slot array with a conductive layer is disposed on a substrate and defines a coplanar waveguide joining a number of side slots arranged in a line forming the slot array. Another substrate is spaced apart from the substrate and a ground plane is defined thereon. A defined volume waveguide is disposed between the substrates. The array is configured to radiate a radiation pattern in a hybrid mode that results from a combination of the slot array and the defined volume waveguide. The side slots may be elliptical in shape for side lobe level reduction.

  • Low power control for a control device for a bicycle
    Patent number: 11964725
    Abstract: A control device of a bicycle includes an actuator and a first controller. The first controller is configured to generate and transmit, from the first controller to a second controller of the bicycle, messages for a predetermined time period at a first transmission rate in response to activation of the actuator. The first controller is further configured to, after the predetermined period of time, generate and transmit, from the first controller to the second controller, one or more messages at a second transmission rate until the actuator is deactivated. The first transmission rate is greater than the second transmission rate, and each of the messages includes data identifying the activation of the actuator.

  • Leveraging affinity between content creator and viewer to improve creator retention
    Patent number: 11968165
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for selecting notifications based on an affinity score between a content generator and a viewer of the content. One method includes capturing interactions of content generators with notifications, received by the content generators, associated with viewer responses to creator-generated content items. The method further includes training a machine-learning model based on the interactions, and detecting a first set of notifications, for a first content generator, associated with interactions of a set of viewers to first-content generator content. The ML model calculates an affinity score between the first content generator and each viewer, and the set of first notifications are ranked based on the affinity scores of the first content generator and the viewer associated with each notification.

  • Breathable elastic laminates for wearable articles and methods for making same
    Patent number: 11964455
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a breathable elastic laminate includes aperturing an elastic film to create an apertured elastic film with a pattern. The pattern includes a plurality of first lanes extending in a machine direction, each of the plurality of first lanes having a plurality of apertures, and a plurality of second lanes extending in the machine direction. Each of the plurality of second lanes is devoid of apertures and has a width of at least twice the width of one of the apertures in the first lanes. The plurality of second lanes alternate with the plurality of first lanes in a cross direction substantially orthogonal to the machine direction. The method includes stretching the apertured elastic film in the machine direction to activate the apertured elastic film and bonding a first side of the activated apertured elastic film to a nonwoven web to create a breathable elastic laminate.
