Patent number: 11922641Abstract: A load-monitoring system includes a vehicle processor and a camera mounted in a trailer. The vehicle, via the processor, displays a first image of a trailer load, received from a trailer-mounted camera and receives selection of a monitoring point on the image, via a touch-sensitive user interface displaying the image or other selection mechanism. The vehicle also receives selection of a fixed point on the image, via the user interface. If the monitoring point moves more than a threshold amount, relative to the fixed point, for example, in subsequent images captured by the camera, the vehicle alerts the driver.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Brian Gabel, Joshua Sharpe, Keith Weston, Andrew Brown

Publication number: 20240043388Abstract: The present invention relates to a cannabinoid derivative as a pharmaceutically active compound and method of preparation thereof. The cannabinoid derivative of the invention is an analogue of cannabidiol (CBD). CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid which has been used to treat various diseases and disorders. While such treatments hold promise, there remains a need in the art for more effective treatments and this has been brought about by way of the cannabinoid derivative of the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Alan James SILCOCK, Antoine MILLET, Karen Ka-Yen TSE, Paul Stuart HINCHLIFFE, Andrew SHARPE

Patent number: 10161803Abstract: An infrared detector useful in, e.g., infrared cameras, includes a substrate having an array of infrared detectors and a readout integrated circuit interconnected with the array disposed on an upper surface thereof, for one or more embodiments. A generally planar window is spaced above the array, the window being substantially transparent to infrared light. A mesa is bonded to the window. The mesa has closed marginal side walls disposed between an outer periphery of a lower surface of the window and an outer periphery of the upper surface of the substrate and defines a closed cavity between the window and the array that encloses the array. A solder seal bonds the mesa to the substrate so as to seal the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2016Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: FLIR Systems, Inc.Inventors: Gregory A.
