  • Patent number: 11480082
    Abstract: An aftertreatment system comprises a SCR system, a first filter, and a second filter disposed downstream of the first filter and a bypass conduit providing a flow path bypassing the second filter. A valve is operatively coupled to the bypass conduit and is moveable between a closed position in which the exhaust gas flows through the second filter, and an open position in which at least a portion of the exhaust gas flows through the bypass conduit. A controller is operatively coupled to the valve configured to adjust the valve based on a first filtration efficiency of the first filter to cause the exhaust gas expelled into the environment from the aftertreatment to have a particulate matter count meeting particulate matter emission standards.

  • Patent number: 11483210
    Abstract: A processor generates an abstract topology that represents domains in an actual topology of a network and border routers that interconnect the domains in the actual topology. The processor prunes, based on the abstract topology, one or more of the domains from the actual topology during path calculations on the actual topology. In some cases, the processor determines measures of reachability for the nodes to indicate whether the domains represented by the nodes represent are on a path from a source domain to a destination domain. The processor can then selectively prune a relationship to at least one edge in the actual topology or modify weights of edges between the nodes in the actual topology based on the ranks of the nodes in the abstract topology.

  • Patent number: 11480890
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a developing roller; a photosensitive drum; a first measurement device that measures a blank portion current in a first line on the photosensitive drum which extends in a scanning direction of the photosensitive drum and on which no toner patch is formed; a second measurement device that measures a measuring development current in a second line on the photosensitive drum which extends in the scanning direction of the photosensitive drum and on which a toner patch is formed; and a control device that functions as a patch setter and a first calculator. The patch setter sets a patch width of the toner patch in the scanning direction of the photosensitive drum. The first calculator calculates an actual development current based on a developable width of the photosensitive drum in the scanning direction, the patch width, the blank portion current, and the measuring development current.

  • Patent number: 11481163
    Abstract: A policy-based printing system is implemented to allow access to a private domain to print using a public domain. The private domain includes private servers that store documents. The public domain includes servers and a printing device. A public policy server uses a domain list and a protocol connection with a private authentication server to validate a user and identify which private domain to access. The public policy server retrieves a policy from a private policy server that configures the parameters for printing using the public domain. The print job data is provided to a public file server until the public policy server confirms that the print job can be sent to the printing device. The status of the document is set after the identification of potential confidential information so that it may not be printed in the public domain.

Doppler estimates representing the same spatial location but calculated from spatially distinctive transmit beam groups are combined through weighted linear interpolation. Methods of calculating the linear interpolation weights are provided based on geometric relationships and optimization functions. Complete overlapping and superposition among receive beams in the interpolation region are not required. Partial interpolation among the receive beams, where only the estimates of the outer receive scan lines may overlap and be interpolated while estimates for scan lines closer to the transmit scan line are not interpolated, allowing for more rapid frame rate.
