  • Patent number: 11417005
    Abstract: A depth camera assembly (DCA) for depth sensing of a local area. The DCA includes a polarized light generator, an imaging device, and a controller. The polarized light generator modulates one or more optical beams emitted from an illumination source to generate modulated light, and projects the modulated light into the local area as polarized light having a first polarization. The imaging device receives light from the local area, the received light including ambient light and a portion of the polarized light reflected from the local area. The imaging device reduces an intensity of the received light having polarization different from a second polarization to generate filtered light substantially composed of light of the second polarization, and detects the portion of the polarized light having the second polarization using the filtered light. The controller determines depth information for the local area based on the detected portion of the polarized light.

  • Patent number: 11412840
    Abstract: Disclosed is a toothbrush for cleaning teeth of a pet animal. The toothbrush of the present invention is an appropriate device for cleaning a dog's teeth by providing adequate lighting via the same toothbrush during the cleaning process. The lighting provides a halo-illumination lighting effect such that a 360-degree light encircles the tooth during cleaning. The use of halo-illumination allows a user to see top, bottom, and both sides of the dog's mouth in a particular region, thus providing the user sufficient information as to whether they are effectively performing teeth cleaning of the dog.

  • Patent number: 11414608
    Abstract: An ebullated bed hydroprocessing system is upgraded using a dual catalyst system that includes a heterogeneous catalyst and dispersed metal sulfide particles to hydroprocess opportunity feedstocks (i.e., lower quality heavy oils or lower quality feedstock blends) while maintaining or increasing the rate of production of converted products. The dual catalyst system improves the ability of the upgraded ebullated bed hydroprocessing system to accommodate and withstand negative effects of periodic use of opportunity feedstocks (e.g., without significantly increasing equipment fouling and/or sediment production). In some cases, an upgraded ebullated bed reactor using the dual catalyst system can hydroprocess opportunity feedstocks while decreasing equipment fouling and/or sediment production.

  • Patent number: 11413026
    Abstract: A system and method for performing surgical procedures within a body cavity, e.g. abdomen, uses a magnetized device is utilized to allow a surgeon to control intra-abdominal organs and objects. The system and method allows a surgeon to perform an intra-abdominal procedure without the need to position surgical tools inside of the body cavity. Additional surgical ports are not necessary as the magnetized device allows the surgeon to retract or position various objects within the abdomen.

  • Patent number: 11418592
    Abstract: Automated uploading of user and system data from one or more source computing systems to one or more destination storage repositories is provided. A data uploader module is installed on each computing system or is accessible by each computing system from which user and/or system data may need to be exported to a destination repository. Upon command, a data uploader module reads desired user data or system data from the computing system. The read data is transformed, if required, and the data is then exported to a destination storage repository. The exported data may be stored and analyzed at the destination storage repository from which it may be subsequently exported to other destinations, including back to the source computing system from which it was originally extracted.

  • Patent number: 11413378
    Abstract: Method consists of placing a flexible container within a rigid frame and expanding the container by pneumatic or hydraulic pressure such that the walls of the container conform to the inside walls of the rigid frame thus forming a well-defined chamber. The system has the capability of reducing the volume of the chamber by adjusting the distance between the walls of the rigid container. The methods and systems so described are applicable to closed sterile systems that employ immunomagnetic isolation or purging of components from blood products. By providing a fixed volume and at least one surface upon which targeted entities can be magnetically deposited, target cells in the case of positive isolations can be magnetically held, flushed with wash buffers over them to remove entrapped cells and finally the recovery of product of very high purifies and at high yields.
