  • Sprue system for injection-molding processes
    Patent number: 11059208
    Abstract: A sprue system for a nozzle-side injection-molding arrangement of an injection-molding machine for introducing a plasticizable and/or plasticized plastics material into an injection-molding tool along a runner, the center axis of which fixes an injection axis, includes a sprue piece which at least partially forms the runner, a tube portion and a flange portion. A fastener assembly for fastening the sprue system to the injection-molding tool and for aligning the sprue piece along the injection axis is included. The sprue piece and the fastener assembly are formed adjustably in relation to one another and the sprue system has an adjuster for setting a distance (A) between the flange portion and the fastener assembly.

  • Container and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 11059214
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a food and/or beverage packaging container is provided. The method includes injection molding a preform using a two phase injection system. A first phase of the two phase injection system includes injecting a first material into the preform and a second phase of the two phase injection system includes injecting a second material into the preform. The method further includes disposing the preform in a mold, blow molding the preform into an intermediate article having a length, a diameter and side walls having a wall thickness, and trimming the intermediate article to form a finished container having a wide mouth neck. Systems and finished products are disclosed.

  • System and method for generating subjective wellbeing analytics score
    Patent number: 11062093
    Abstract: A system includes at least one processor to perform natural language processing on text from at least one document and assign the at least one document to at least one subjective wellbeing dimension by comparing the text from the at least one document with a subjective wellbeing dimension filter for each subjective wellbeing dimension, insert the at least one document into at least one bin, each bin associated with a particular subjective wellbeing dimension, and analyze each document in each bin associated with the particular subjective wellbeing dimension to determine a score for each subjective wellbeing dimension and an overall score that is based on each score for each subjective wellbeing dimension.

  • Capacitance-based foreign object debris sensor
    Patent number: 11059457
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to detecting and clearing debris from a sensor window. For instance, a system may include the sensor window and one or more processors. The sensor window may include a transparent thin film conductor. The one or more processors may be configured to identify a change in capacitance using the transparent thin film conductor, detect debris on the sensor window using the change in capacitance, and activate a cleaning system in order to clear the detected debris from the sensor window.

  • Testing methods and apparatuses using simulated servers
    Patent number: 11064634
    Abstract: The present application pertains to testing methods and apparatus useful in two-phase liquid immersion cooling systems. Such systems cool heat generating computer components which cause a dielectric fluid in its liquid phase to vaporize. The dielectric vapor is then condensed back into a liquid phase and used to cool the computer components. Using the testing methods and apparatuses herein one may design and test more efficient components and systems. More specifically, the one or more heating elements are both passive and intelligent. They may be used to mimic the power load of a server which is used in the load testing of two phase liquid immersion cooling so actual servers are not required to test various aspects of the two phase liquid immersion cooling units.

  • Application phenotyping
    Patent number: 11063974
    Abstract: A collection of techniques is disclosed to allow for the detection of malware that leverages pattern recognition and machine learning to effectively provide “content-less” malware detection, i.e., detecting a process as being an ‘anomaly’ not based on its particular content, but instead based on comparisons of its behavior to known (and characterized) ‘trusted’ application behaviors, i.e., the trusted applications' “phenotypes” and/or the phenotypes of known malware applications. By analyzing the patterns of normal behavior performed by trusted applications as well as malware applications, one can build a set of sophisticated, content-agnostic behavioral models (i.e.

  • Automated control of microfluidic devices based on machine learning
    Patent number: 11061042
    Abstract: A system is provided to automatically monitor and control the operation of a microfluidic device using machine learning technology. The system receives images of a channel of a microfluidic device collected by a camera during operation of the microfluidic device. Upon receiving an image, the system applies a classifier to the image to classify the operation of the microfluidic device as normal, in which no adjustment to the operation is needed, or as abnormal, in which an adjustment to the operation is needed. When an image is classified as normal, the system may make no adjustment to the microfluidic device. If, however, an image is classified as abnormal, the system may output an indication that the operation is abnormal, output an indication of a needed adjustment, or control the microfluidic device to make the needed adjustment.
