  • Patent number: 12315373
    Abstract: A method for assisting a motor vehicle during a trip of the motor vehicle within an infrastructure, the trip of the motor vehicle being guided in an at least semiautomated manner. The method includes: receiving regional signals, which represent a first region of the infrastructure monitored using a surround-sensor system; for the motor vehicle approaching the first region, determining if a second region is free of a possible collision object for the motor vehicle at an expected arrival time of the motor vehicle at the first or second region, based on the regional signals; if the second region is free of a possible collision object for the motor vehicle at the expected arrival time, outputting a release signal for transmitting to the motor vehicle a communications message, that the second region is free of a possible collision object at the expected arrival time.

  • Patent number: 12312797
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is the fabrication and implementation of prefabricated volumetric construction modules that include transitioning members that adjust between vertical support columns and structural trusses via lateral joints. Modification of vertical support columns to trusses enables open space configurations in volumetric construction. Each volumetric module includes a habitation zone and a truss zone. Folding or transitioning a vertical support column at the lateral joint positions a lower region of the support column from the habitation zone into the truss zone. The vertical support columns are transitioned in a specified order where within a given row of vertical support columns. Beginning from a first interior column on an edge-positioned transforming volumetric module, workers fold half of the vertical support columns of the given row into the truss arrangement in a first direction toward the edge-positioned transforming volumetric module.

  • Patent number: 12316252
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a value profile of a controlled variable of an electrical system. Differences between predetermined values of an output variable at an end time and a determined value of the output variable at the end time are determined. A value profile of the controlled variable in the time interval is predetermined, the value profile being dependent on an end value at the end time and is being determined uniquely by the specification of the end value. Allowed values of the controlled variable are determined such that, when the electrical system is activated, the value of the output variable at the end time is equal to the determined difference. A curve of the allowed values of the controlled variable is determined on the basis of the allowed values of the controlled variable. A point of intersection of the determined curve and a predetermined derating function is determined.

  • Publication number: 20250154580
    Abstract: A method for nucleic acid sequencing includes providing at least one device comprising a first electrode and a second electrode separated by a dielectric layer, and a polymerase enzyme attached to the surface of the dielectric layer. The dielectric layer induces an electroactive molecule to interact with the electrodes to complete an electrical circuit. The polymerase enzyme targets a polynucleotide strand to the dielectric layer. A sample including a polynucleotide strand and modified nucleotides having an electroactive label covalently bound to the 3?—OH of a sugar ring of the nucleotide via an ester group is provided to the at least one device. Potentials are applied to each electrode to induce electron flow between the electrodes to produce a measurable electrical signal when an electroactive label is present in the dielectric layer. Electrical signals from the electrodes are detected to determine when a modified nucleotide is present in the dielectric layer.
