  • Publication number: 20250256066
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a torque transfer unit for rotating a flexible shaft. The torque transfer unit comprises an elongate track defining a track passage, and a key attachable to the flexible shaft and movable along the track passage. The key and the elongate track are configured to engage each other to inhibit relative rotation of the key and the track passage. The torque transfer unit is actuatable to selectively adjust an axial position of the key relative to the track passage. Some other embodiments provide a kit of parts.

  • Patent number: 12377699
    Abstract: A method for controlling vehicle motion is described. The method includes accessing a set of control signals including a measured vehicle speed value associated with a movement of a vehicle. A control signal associated with user-induced input is also accessed. The method compares the measured vehicle speed value with a predetermined vehicle speed threshold value to achieve a speed value threshold approach status, and then compares the set of values to achieve a user-induced input threshold value approach status. The method monitors a state of a valve within the vehicle suspension damper, and determines a control mode for the vehicle suspension damper. The method also regulates damping forces within the vehicle suspension damper.

  • Patent number: 12380546
    Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with the present disclosure relate to an image capture device to perform computer vision-based tamper detection of the image capture device. A system can use a light source, such as an infrared LED, to illuminate an image captured by the image capture device, which can be used to validate error conditions, such as tamper events. For example, the LED-illuminated image can be compared with an image captured while the LED is off to distinguish tamper events or other error condition events from false positives. The tamper detection can be performed to filter initial error detections, such as error detections performed using edge detection or other computer vision operations, that may be susceptible to false positives.

  • Patent number: 12348909
    Abstract: A horticulture time lapse camera photo and sensor data capture system is disclosed. The horticulture time lapse camera photo and sensor data capture system is configured to capture time-lapsed photos and corresponding time-lapse series of sensor data, combine the photos in a video sequence, generate sensor data charts and visualizations, synchronize the collected data points and sensor data charts and visualizations to a timeline associated with a playback time of the video sequence, and provide the time-sequenced video for a user to view with the corresponding time-sequenced data points and sensor data graphical objects via mobile app or website. The system takes all parameters and sensor measurements and converts them into charts and graphs for viewing along with time-synchronized video sequences of the time-lapse photography, thereby providing valuable information for a user to remotely monitor plants and control the growing environment.

  • Patent number: 12330267
    Abstract: Processes and devices by which a brittle material substrate may be edge formed and finished to simultaneously remove corresponding damage remaining on the edges in the areas formed by cutting and separation while imposing a desired edge profile and achieving a desired mechanical edge strength. Processes of the present disclosure may include a chemical and mechanical brush polishing process configured to shape and/or polish a surface of one or more thin substrates. A plurality of substrates may be arranged in a stacked configuration, and engineered interposer devices may be arranged between the stacked substrates. The interposers may provide between the substrates and may direct filament placement during brushing so as to guide material removal on the substrate edges. Substrate edge profile shapes, including symmetric and asymmetric profiles, may be formed by strategic manipulation of interposer properties including dimensions, mechanical features, material properties, and positioning.
