Patent number: 11966670Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for generating gridded predictions of a probability of wildfire spread for geographies are disclosed. One method includes sensing observational climate and earth surface data, obtaining historical data on wildfire spread events, obtaining gridded climate data, creating a set of input features, creating a gridded wildfire data set, training a model that learns one or more probabilistic mapping function emulators between the set of input features and the gridded wildfire data set, which predicts a first probability of wildfire occurrence and a rate and extent of wildfire spread within a geographical region and at a specified period of time, and generating gridded wildfire prediction data including a second probability of wildfire occurrence and spread within the geographical region, using the model and a new set of input features over the geographical region but for a different time period.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Terrafuse, Inc.Inventors: Brian White, Jing Li, Adrian Albert

Patent number: 11944742Abstract: A method for veterinary administration of medication to an animal, particularly a horse, is disclosed. The method involves inserting a capsule containing the medication, which is a liquid formulation, into a device connected to a tubular chamber. An atomizer is activated to atomize the medication, producing atomized medication. Before administration, a force is applied to a mask placed over the animal's muzzle, connected to the chamber. The atomized medication is then delivered to the animal. The liquid formulation, in some instances, comprises cells, cellular byproducts, or cell-derived products such as stem cells or products from human mesenchymal stem cells. This formulation may lack preservatives and may encompass peptides, proteins, growth factors, cytokines, exosomes, and extracellular vesicles. The delivery mechanism may involve deflating an air bladder to convey the atomized medication.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Inventors: Pradeep Albert, Christine Nichols, David J. Condron, Brian Artze, Fadi Saba, Jesse Klein, Vijay Vad

Patent number: 11925748Abstract: The invention pertains to a capsule system for use with a medical device designed to administer atomized medication to patients. The system features a chamber containing the medication and an atomizer at a lower end for efficient drug delivery. Notably, the system incorporates a fluid sensor and electrical contacts to ensure proper operation and medication delivery. The capsule's design includes a housing with an asymmetrical transverse cross-sectional shape for unique fitting, and a tapered wall to direct medication towards the atomizer. The capsule may also connect to an external container or include a stopper for refilling medication. A specific embodiment features two chambers with a rupturing element to facilitate medication transfer. Another embodiment includes a removable container, like a vial, within the first chamber. This novel system provides improvements in accuracy, versatility, and user-friendliness, overcoming limitations in prior art.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2023Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Inventors: Pradeep Albert, Christine Nichols, David J.

Patent number: 10473727Abstract: Early power failure (EPF) detection circuit applies a rectified, unfiltered periodic waveform, at the frequency of the mains supply voltage to a threshold detector. During each cycle of the periodic waveform, the threshold detector produces a pulse voltage having a leading edge when the periodic waveform begins to exceed a threshold level associated with the threshold detector and a trailing edge when the periodic waveform ceases to exceed the threshold voltage. A microprocessor measures the length of the interval between the leading and trailing edges for indirectly measuring the magnitude (for example, RMS or peak) of the mains supply voltage. When the indirectly measured magnitude decreases below a minimum permissible, second threshold magnitude, a controlled power shutdown of the apparatus is initiated, such as by, for example, programs interrupt routine in the microprocessor.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: INTERDIGITAL CE PATENT HOLDINGSInventors: William John Testin, Brian Albert Wittman
