  • Publication number: 20250078966
    Abstract: A computing device comprising a memory and processing circuitry may be configured to implement various aspects of the specimen management techniques. The memory may store a schedule of activities that defines one or more activities, where at least one of the one or more activities includes an assay requiring collection of a specimen from at least one subject group of subjects. The processing circuitry may present a specimen management user interface with which a study designer interacts to manage the collection of the specimen for the assay, where managing the collection of the specimen includes defining default operational details for the collection of the specimen. The processing circuitry may obtain a proto-plan defining a sequence of events and a corresponding timepoints during which the collection of the specimen occurs. The processing circuitry may present, via the specimen management user interface, the proto-plan for modification.

  • Patent number: 12233825
    Abstract: A method for hazard detection and fire prevention during mobile refueling operation includes: accessing a geospatial position of a mobile refueling platform; detecting the geospatial position within a geospatial region as a first condition in a set of conditions, the geospatial region permitted for refueling operation; accessing a distance between the mobile refueling platform and a surface of an object proximal the mobile refueling platform; detecting the distance exceeding a distance threshold as a second condition in the set of conditions; accessing a concentration of a gas proximal the mobile refueling platform; detecting the concentration falling below a concentration threshold as a third condition in the first set of conditions; and in response to the set of conditions corresponding to a set of target conditions for mobile refueling operation, transmitting a control signal to open a fuel valve of the mobile refueling platform.

  • Patent number: 12128435
    Abstract: A fountain apparatus may include a wall insert that can be threadably attached to a water inlet port in the wall of a pool. The wall insert may split water flow into two streams, one that passes through a jet nozzle ball and into the pool, and the other that flows into a reservoir that supplies water to a stream nozzle tip to form a water fountain. A water insert reservoir cap may be releasably engageable with the wall insert and include two fluid passageways, one corresponding to the flow path to the jet nozzle ball and the other corresponding to the reservoir and the flow path to the stream nozzle tip. A reservoir locking cap may be used to secure the wall insert reservoir cap to the wall insert. A jet nozzle cap may be used to secure the jet nozzle ball to the reservoir locking cap.

  • Patent number: 11778277
    Abstract: A voice-enabled device and a display device may be utilized to determine items in video output by the display device. A frame of a video stream associated with the video may be utilized to determine a representation of a candidate object. A stream identifier and a timestamp associated with the candidate object in the video stream may be determined. The stream identifier, the timestamp, and an object identifier associated with the candidate object may be stored in a database. A first request to output the video stream via a display device may be received. A second request associated with the video stream may be received while the video stream is being output by the display device. The second request may be determined to be associated with the representation of the candidate object. The object identifier may be caused to be visually displayed via the display device.

  • Patent number: 11632531
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for synchronization and presentation of multiple 3D content streams. Example methods may include determining a first content stream of 3D content to send to a user device, where movement of the user device causes presentation of different portions of the 3D content at the user device, and determining a first position of the user device. Some methods may include causing presentation of a first portion of the first content stream at the user device, where the first portion corresponds to the first position, determining a second content stream of 3D content, where movement of the user device causes presentation of different portions of the 3D content at the user device, and causing presentation of a second portion of the second content stream at the user device, where the second portion corresponds to the first position of the user device.

  • Publication number: 20220407176
    Abstract: A system for mitigating fire within a battery storage container enclosing an energy storage system includes a sensor configured to detect a precursor condition indicative of a potential fire or explosion, a controller, and a set of extendable battery trays, each including a tray ejector and containing a set of battery cells. The controller detects a precursor condition in a battery tray via the sensor and ejects the battery tray to increase the distance between the battery tray and adjacent battery trays. The system can include a cooling channel in the battery tray configured to cool the set of battery cells, and/or a nozzle configured to direct fluid into the battery tray to suppress the precursor condition. In one variation, the system includes a door of the container configured to open, venting the interior of the container in response to detection of a precursor condition indicating a potential explosion.
