  • Patent number: 12228253
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling the temperature and pressure of a cryogenic liquid methane storage unit are provided. The disclosed systems and methods generate methane gas from a reservoir of liquid methane stored within the methane storage unit, vent the methane gas through one or more outlet valves connected to the methane storage unit, and generate electric power using the vented methane gas. The generated electric power can then be used to initiating a cooling cycle, which reduces the temperature of said reservoir of liquid methane and reduces the pressure in said methane storage unit. Micro anaerobic digesters and methane storage units may be configured in a networked environment with a central controller that monitors remote units.

  • Publication number: 20240335938
    Abstract: A wearable exoskeleton and methods of use are discussed herein. The exoskeleton comprises two shoulder bridges connecting a front harness and a back structural plate over shoulders of a user's body, and a back elastomeric element, connected to a tension cable system with shoulder clutches in which the tension cable can be reeled in or out, positioned to follow the back functional line of a user's body with a pre-tension cable system which all together form an artificial myofascial tension line in the exoskeleton. Other elastomeric elements may follow other user's body's myofascial lines to form the other artificial myofascial tension lines and to assist the user in handling objects.

  • Publication number: 20240330338
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, or computer program products provide for generating automated resolution actions using intent provided by a trained machine learning model. A service message object via a communication channel of a plurality of communication channels. The service message object defines a feature dataset associated with a service request for an application framework. Additionally, a machine learning model trained for intent recognition is applied to the feature dataset to generate an intent support label for the service message object. The intent support label is then correlated to a resolution data object related to a service resolution for the service request. Based on whether the resolution data object satisfies defined resolution criteria for the intent support label, a resolution action for the service request is initiated.

  • Publication number: 20240333612
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, or computer program products provide for processing multi-channel service data objects to initiate automated resolution actions via an intent engine. A first service message object is received via a first communication channel of a plurality of communication channels. The first service message object defines a first feature dataset associated with the first communication channel. Additionally, a second service message object is received via a second communication channel of the plurality of communication channels. The second service message object defines a second feature dataset associated with the second communication channel. Based on the first feature dataset and the second feature dataset, support labels for the first service message object and the second service message object are generated.

  • Patent number: 11818446
    Abstract: A system simulates hyperspectral imaging data or multispectral imaging data for a simulated sensor. Blackbody radiance of real-world thermal imagery data is computed using a Planck function, which generates a simulated spectral hypercube. Spectral emissivity data for background materials are multiplied by a per-pixel weighting function, which generates weighted spectral emissivity data. The simulated spectral hypercube is multiplied by the weighted spectral emissivity data, which generates background data in the simulated spectral hypercube. Simulated targets are inserted the background data using the Planck function. The simulated spectral hypercube is modified, and then it is used to estimate a mission measure of effectiveness of the simulated sensor.

  • Publication number: 20230249211
    Abstract: An applicator for dispensing a fluid includes a housing and a pump disposed within the housing. A wand extends in a first direction between a first end and a second end. The wand is rotatably coupled to the housing between an open position and a closed position. A conduit extends from the pump to the first end of the wand such that the fluid flows in the first direction to be dispensed from the second end of the wand. The wand defines an aperture through which the conduit enters the first end of the wand such that the conduit extends in a second direction non-parallel to the first direction to enter the first end. The conduit remains in the aperture regardless of the position of the wand.
