  • Publication number: 20250030110
    Abstract: A traction battery includes a battery array and a flexible printed circuit (FPC). The FPC including a hurdle-shaped flexible substrate that is planar and has opposing first and second planar surfaces and opposing first and second edges extending between the planar surfaces, the substrate having a straight middle portion, a first end portion that is joined to the middle portion by a first elbow portion, and a second end portion that is joined to the middle portion by a second elbow portion. The elbow portions are folded relative to the middle portion at first and second folds, respectively, such that the first planar surfaces of the first and second elbows face each other. A circuit is supported by the substrate and electrically connected between circuit boards supported on opposite sides of the battery array.

  • Publication number: 20240346454
    Abstract: There is provided a method that is performed while a host and a guest are using a conversational messaging interface. For a message thread, in response to receiving a guest message, the method computes a probability for guest issues by inputting feature vectors from the guest message to a guest issue detection model. In response to receiving a host message, the message computes a probability for host issues by inputting feature vectors from the host message to a host issue detection model. If the message thread includes particular keywords, and if the probability for the guest issues is above a guest issue predetermined threshold, the method includes providing alerts that is visible only to the guest. If the probability for the host issues is above a host issue predetermined threshold, the method also includes providing alerts that is visible only to the host.

  • Patent number: 10667778
    Abstract: A system and computation method is disclosed that identifies radiation-induced lung injury after radiation therapy using 4D computed tomography (CT) scans. After deformable image registration, the method segments lung fields, extracts functional and textural features, and classifies lung tissues. The deformable registration locally aligns consecutive phases of the respiratory cycle using gradient descent minimization of the conventional dissimilarity metric. Then an adaptive shape prior, a first-order intensity model, and a second-order lung tissues homogeneity descriptor are integrated to segment the lung fields. In addition to common lung functionality features, such as ventilation and elasticity, specific regional textural features are estimated by modeling the segmented images as samples of a novel 7th-order contrast-offset-invariant Markov-Gibbs random field (MGRF). Finally, a tissue classifier is applied to distinguish between the injured and normal lung tissues.
