  • Patent number: 12196196
    Abstract: An oscillation controller operates on engine speed or RPM data from a pump or pumping unit associated with a wellbore operation. The oscillation controller determines a measure of variability, such as a bandwidth, for the engine speed over a rolling time window and compares the measure of variability to an oscillation bandwidth threshold. The oscillation controller determines that erratic behavior or oscillation is present when the measure of variability exceeds the oscillation bandwidth threshold, and for such instances measures a duration of erratic behavior with a variability timer. If the oscillation controller determines that the erratic behavior has subsided, the variability timer is cleared. The oscillation controller generates at least one warning whenever the variability timer exceeds an oscillation warning threshold.

  • Patent number: 12193982
    Abstract: A patient immersion sensor includes a radio detection and ranging (RADAR) apparatus to determine a time of flight (TOF) of a RADAR pulse and a reflected signal that is reflected by a patient or by a portion of a patient support surface supporting the patient. The TOF is indicative of an immersion depth or a distance toward bottoming out of a patient supported on the patient support surface, such as a mattress or a pad. The RADAR apparatus emits pulses of very short duration so as to be able to detect objects, such as a patient or a portion of a mattress or pad, at very close distances. The RADAR apparatus may use time-of-flight (TOF) between transmission of the pulse and receipt of a reflected signal to determine a distance toward bottoming out by the patient, thereby to determine if the patient is properly immersed into the patient support surface.

  • Patent number: 12197902
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dynamic functional adaptation of software systems based on real time need, which is unaddressed by the conventional methods. Initially, the system receives an output generated by a software system under execution corresponding to a given input. Further, a deviation in the generated output is identified based on a comparison between the generated output and a corresponding expected output. Further, an optimal policy is identified based on the generated output and the identified deviation using a reward based Reinforcement Learning (RL) model. Further, an adaptation specification is generated based on the identified optimal policy using an Adaptation Specification Generation (ASG) technique, Further, a software code is generated dynamically for the identified optimal policy using an ASG based code generation technique.

  • Patent number: 12200832
    Abstract: An aerosol-generating system includes a main body, a cartridge, and a connecting component. The main body includes a main body housing enclosing a power supply. The cartridge includes a cartridge housing enclosing a reservoir of liquid aerosol-forming substrate. The cartridge is releasably connectable to the main body by the connecting component. The connecting component is fixed to the main body housing and is less stiff in at least one direction than the main body housing. The connecting component that is less stiff the main body housing and the cartridge housing can act as a shock absorber when the aerosol-generating system experiences a significant impact, such as when dropped on a surface. This reduces damage to other components of the system and, in particular, may prevent leaks of liquid resulting from damage to the liquid reservoir.
