  • Patent number: 12152978
    Abstract: In an approach for controlling a multiphase flow configured to create a plurality of particles, a processor obtains images of a plurality of particles in a multiphase flow. A processor provides the images to a neural network adapted to determine a distribution of a spatial property of the plurality of particles from the provided images. A processor determines the distribution of the spatial property of the plurality of particles in the multiphase flow, based on the provided images, using the neural network. A processor controls the multiphase flow based on the determined distribution.

  • Publication number: 20240316396
    Abstract: A multi-purpose exercise apparatus for group therapy includes a plurality of side frames. At least one of the side frames includes a first horizontal bar, a second horizontal bar, a third horizontal bar, and first and second vertical bars. The second horizontal bar is positioned above the first horizontal bar, and the third horizontal bar is positioned above the second horizontal bar. Each side frame accommodates a user, enabling the exercise apparatus to accommodate multiple users simultaneously. The plurality of the side frames are constructed to form a closed polygonal frame. The closed polygonal frame may be shaped as a triangle, rectangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, or other polygon. In the alternative embodiment, the plurality of the side frames may form an unclosed polygon to allow a trainer or instructor to enter the unclosed polygon through the open side.

  • Publication number: 20230316325
    Abstract: According to examples, a system for using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques to generate and implement a configurable measurement platform is described. The system may include a processor and a memory storing instructions. The processor, when executing the instructions, may cause the system to access information associated with one or more events occurring on a platform with event activity, log and analyze the one or more events to generate measurement data associated with the event activity, and generate a metric associated with the measurement data. The processor, when executing the instructions, may then generate a computed metric value associated with the metric utilizing the measurement data, implement a platform computation utilizing the computed metric value, and facilitate a decision associated with the platform based on the platform computation.

  • Patent number: 8844599
    Abstract: Configurable layup tooling used to fabricate reinforced composite parts having a common shape but varying features are disclosed herein. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a common tool body. A first mandrel is received by the common tool body to form at least a first portion of a common shape and a first profile of a first part to be formed via the common tool body. A second mandrel is received by the common tool body to form the first portion of the common shape and a second profile of a second part that is different from the first part.

  • Patent number: 8337654
    Abstract: Configurable layup tooling is used to fabricate reinforced composite parts have a common shape but varying features. The tooling includes a tool base, multiple mandrels and optionally, a tool insert, all of which may be used to form a portion of the common shape. The mandrels have differing tool geometries for forming the varying features of the commonly shaped parts. The tool base may be used as a bonding jig to assemble and bond assemblies that include the fabricated parts.

  • Patent number: 7165293
    Abstract: A rubberized conveyor belt fastener is provided including a plate portion and elastomeric material that extends beyond lateral sides of the plate so that gaps between adjacent plate portions in a conveyor belt splice can be minimized. The plate portions can also include elastomeric material extending over the upper surface thereof to better absorb impact forces therewith. Preferably, the elastomeric material connects a strip of plates together. Both upper and lower plates can be provided with elastomeric material with the lower plates of solid plate fasteners having bolts preassembled thereto deriving the additional benefit of utilizing the elastomeric material to hold the bolt head in its lower plate aperture.
