  • Patent number: 12669308
    Abstract: A target tracking apparatus includes a housing that defines an exterior surface and comprises an interior cavity, a distal opening, and an intermediate opening. The target tracking apparatus also includes a distal-end window attached to the housing over the distal opening and defining a distal end of the target tracking apparatus. The target tracking apparatus further includes an intermediate window attached to the housing over the intermediate opening. The target tracking apparatus additionally includes a first camera within the interior cavity, configured to capture images through the distal-end window, and fixed, relative to the housing, such that the first camera does not move relative to the housing. The target tracking apparatus also includes a second camera within the interior cavity, configured to capture images through the intermediate window, and fixed, relative to the housing, such that the second camera does not move relative to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20200179848
    Abstract: Articles and methods relating to filter media are generally provided. In some embodiments, a filter media comprises a non-woven fiber web and a backer layer. The non-woven fiber web may comprise a plurality of continuous nanofibers, e.g., continuous nanofibers having an average diameter of less than or equal to 250 nm. The plurality of the nanofibers may comprise a plurality of nanoparticles at least partially embedded therein. In some embodiments, the plurality of nanoparticles makes up less than or equal to 15 wt % of the plurality of nanofibers. In some embodiments, a solidity of the non-woven fiber web is less than or equal to a solidity of the backer layer.
