  • Patent number: 11325266
    Abstract: A valve for use within a vacuum cup of a vacuum gripping system is described. In one example, a vacuum cup includes a bellows and a valve assembly seated within an inner chamber of the bellows. The valve assembly includes a body disk seated within the inner chamber, a control disk seated toward a suction cup end of the bellows, a spring positioned between the body disk and the control disk, and a control stem extending through the central valve aperture of the body disk, through the spring, and secured to the control disk. When the control stem is seated within the central valve aperture, the valve assembly restricts fluid suction to within the inner chamber. When the valve control stem is unseated from the central valve aperture, the valve assembly conveys fluid suction to the suction cup end of the bellows.

  • Patent number: 11327473
    Abstract: A scalable industrial asset management system dynamically negotiates allocation of mobile industrial assets to industrial operation sites. The asset management system tracks and models the capabilities and availabilities of a pool of mobile industrial assets (e.g., truck-mounted assets or other such assets). Based on a defined demand of a scheduled industrial operation requiring mobile industrial assets (e.g., a fracking operation, a mining operation, etc.) the system selects a subset of the mobile industrial assets that are both available during the scheduled operation and are collectively capable of satisfying the demands of the industrial operation. Moreover, based on the asset models for the subset of mobile industrial assets, the system configures an on-premise cloud agent device to collect telemetry data from the mobile assets during the operation and to migrate the collected data to a cloud-based collection and analytics system.

  • Patent number: 11324656
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method and a device for increasing blood flow and controlling the temperature of a mammal by applying a desired pressure to extremities of a mammal. The device generally includes a pliant body element that is adapted to receive a portion of an extremity of the mammal therein, and then apply a pressure to a portion of the extremity when a pressure is provided to a region in which the extremity is positioned within the pliant body element. By evacuating the region in which the extremity is enclosed, a contact surface area between the extremity of a mammal and the pliant body element is increased, due to the external atmospheric pressure acting on the pliant body element against the skin of the extremity of the mammal. The application of pressure assures that sufficient contact and thermal heat transfer (heating or cooling) is provided to the extremity of the mammal.

  • Patent number: 11329728
    Abstract: Light is modulated at a source to encode data. An additional tracking signal is imposed on the light using polarization modulation (PM). PM modulates one or more values of polarization rotation or polarization ellipticity of the light. These values may be dithered within constraints to provide a specified modulation index at the optical receiver, without impairing the encoded data. At the optical receiver, a polarization analyzer is used to recover the tracking signal, converting the polarization modulation to amplitude modulation. For example, after the light passes through the analyzer, an array of optical photodetectors detects the changes in apparent intensity resulting in the interaction between the light and the analyzer that correspond to the tracking signal. Due to a high modulation index, the recovered signal exhibits a high signal to noise ratio (SNR). The high SNR improves a noise equivalent angle, improving tracking performance.

  • Patent number: 11328754
    Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a memory and a controller are provided which allow for reduction of current during program operations using pre-charge timing control based on an inhibit bit line count acquired from data latches. When the inhibit bit line count is within a bit line count range, the controller pre-charges bit lines in memory during a first time period to a first target voltage, and when the inhibit bit line count is outside the bit line count range, the controller pre-charges the bit lines during a second, earlier time period to a second, smaller target voltage. The controller is thus configured to reduce current and minimize operation overlaps in the earlier time period during the middle of the program operation where current is highest. Thus, a balance in power consumption and performance may be achieved during program operations using timing control.
