Abstract: A method and system for using an interactive and intelligent tool to generate a connector is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes generating one or more first connector builder interfaces to receive user input for creating the connector. The method includes invoking one or more artificial intelligence (AI) models to automatically determine one or more suggestions of configuration parameters used in creating the connector based on the user input. The method also includes generating one or more second connector builder interfaces to present the one or more suggestions of configuration parameters to the user for acceptance or modification. The method includes creating the connector in a connector builder using the configuration parameters. The method further includes generating one or more third connector builder interfaces to enable the user to publish the connector.

Abstract: The tire (10) has a stiffening structure (50) comprising a stiffening element (52, 53) anchored in or around radially inner reinforcing structures (60A) and a radially outer reinforcing structure (70A, 70B). Each stiffening element (52, 53) extending from one of the radially inner reinforcing structures (60A) comprises a portion (523) extending in the toroidal cavity (35) between first anchor points. Each stiffening element (52, 53) extending from the other of the radially inner reinforcing structures (60B) comprises a portion (524) extending in the toroidal cavity (35) between second anchor points. The portions (523) do not cross over in the toroidal cavity (35). The first anchor points are axially on the other side of the same side of the median plane (M) of the tire (10) as the second anchor points.

Abstract: An actuator system for articulated mechanism may have a fluid actuator having a displaceable member operating an output configured to apply an output force to the articulated mechanism. A fluid system may be in fluid communication with the fluid actuator to supply the fluid actuator with motive fluid to contribute to the output force. The fluid system may include a pressure reservoir configured for storing fluid, a pumping device for controlling a pressure of the fluid in the reservoir, and a circuit for directing the fluid from the reservoir to the fluid actuator. An actuator device may be operatively connected to the fluid actuator to apply a variable force to the displaceable member to contribute to the output force.

The patient transfer device (10) further comprises one motorized wheel (210).

Abstract: Method for estimating an axial power imbalance in a nuclear reactor, comprising the following steps: obtaining a reactor power setpoint, for each variable of a plurality of variables of the reactor, determining a sequence of the variable, the sequence representing estimated future variations of the variable, determining a sequence of the axial power imbalance, by taking into account the sequences of the plurality of variables of the reactor, the determination of the sequence of the axial power imbalance using a machine learning module that is trained beforehand on historic reactor data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for seamlessly transitioning a load between two different actuators each having a different transmission ratio are described herein. A multiple drive, variable transmission ratio (MD-VTR) system includes two drive actuators, each having different reduction ratios, a locking mechanism, and a differential transmission subsystem. In one aspect, a MD-VTR system includes a locking mechanism disposed between a drive actuator and an input port of the differential. The locking mechanism couples the input port of the differential to a stationary reference frame element in a locked state. In an unlocked state, the locking mechanism couples the drive actuator to the input port of the differential. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism includes an actuator to actively transition between the locked and unlocked states. In some other embodiments, the locking mechanism transitions between the locked and unlocked states based on torque applied by the drive actuator.

Abstract: An expander for widening and holding apart an opening of a tissue. The expander may include a body configured to deform from a compacted state into a pre-determined shape in an expanded state in response to a pre-determined physiological condition the body is exposed to. The body with the pre-determined shape in the expanded state may be configured to hold apart the opening of the tissue.

Abstract: An optical coherence tomography system and method. The system comprises a detector for detecting an optical coherence tomography signals from a sample; a processing unit for converting the detected signals to raw data; a compensation unit for performing compensation to generate compensated data; and a display for displaying at least the compensated data.
