  • Patent number: 12275312
    Abstract: A network of an electric vehicle has an energy supply interface, an inverter, an energization interface and a soft starter. The inverter has a first inverter connection configured to connect the inverter to the energy supply interface and a second inverter connection configured to connect the inverter to the energization interface and the soft starter. The inverter is configured to convert a DC voltage applied to the first inverter connection to an AC voltage and to supply same at the second inverter connection. The soft starter is configured to reduce an input voltage applied to the first soft starter connection and to supply the operating voltage, which is reduced compared to the input voltage, at the second soft starter connection.

  • Patent number: 12276722
    Abstract: A method for classifying tracks in radar detections of a scene acquired by a stationary radar unit, comprises: acquiring radar detections of the scene using the static radar unit; feeding at least a portion of the radar detections into a tracker module for producing track-specific feature data indicating a specific track in the scene, feeding at least a portion of the radar detections into a scene model comprising information about scene-specific features aggregated over time, and information indicating areas in the scene with expected ghost target detections and areas with expected real target detections, wherein at least a subset of the scene-specific features is determined from the radar detections; classifying the specific track as belonging to a real target or to a ghost target by relating the specific track to a position in the scene model.

  • Patent number: 12274508
    Abstract: A computer-assisted surgery system for obtaining a distance between at least two fixed points relative to a bone comprises a first accelerometer unit located at a first fixed location on the bone, and producing first acceleration data during a movement of the bone. A second accelerometer unit is located at a second fixed location on the bone, and simultaneously producing second acceleration data during the movement. A gyroscope unit is fixed to the bone and simultaneously producing angular rates of change of said movement. A processor unit obtains the acceleration data and the angular rates of change for calculating the distance between the first fixed position and the second fixed position on the bone using a distance value of a distance vector between the accelerometer units. An interface outputs the distance between the first fixed position and the second fixed position relative to the bone. A method for calculating a distance between at least two points on a bone is provided.

  • Patent number: 12276119
    Abstract: The present invention provides a transition moulding comprised of an elongate piece having three strips of adhesive material, a plurality of holes, and thin lateral beveled edges. The holes are for embedding adhesive or mortar as well as placing mechanical fasteners to secure the moulding to the sub floor. The adhesive bands are for securing the flooring material and the central adhesive band is for placing a clip that is configured and sized to hold a “T” separator placed between the two flooring materials. There is also a crease to facilitate the folding or breaking of the moulding for when it is used against a wall or at the end of a floor such as on door sills or staircase.

  • Patent number: 12277003
    Abstract: An example method is performed at a device with a display and a biometric sensor. While the device is in a locked state, the method includes displaying a log-in user interface that is associated with logging in to a first and second user account. While displaying the log-in user interface, the method includes, receiving biometric information, and in response to receiving the biometric information: when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the first user account and the first user account does not have an active session, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the first user account; and when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the second user account and the second user account does not have an active session on the device, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the second user account.

  • Patent number: 12277452
    Abstract: A method for managing radio and computing resources of a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) includes a number of virtualized radio access points (vRAPs) that share a common pool of central processing units (CPUs). The method includes dividing, per vRAP, an L1 layer processing pipeline into at least one main processing pipeline and into a number of subordinate processing pipelines, and coordinating the execution of the pipelines across multiple vRAPs. The coordinating includes allocating tasks of the main processing pipelines to dedicated CPUs, and allocating tasks of the subordinate processing pipelines to shared CPUs.

  • Patent number: 12275769
    Abstract: The disclosure features fusion proteins that are conditionally active variants of IL-12. In one aspect, the full-length polypeptides of the invention have reduced or minimal cytokine-receptor activating activity even though they contain a functional cytokine polypeptide. Upon activation, e.g., by cleavage of a linker that joins a blocking moiety, e.g., a steric blocking polypeptide, in sequence to the active cytokine, the cytokine can bind its receptor and effect signaling.
