  • Publication number: 20240011868
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment may include a control hub configured to receive data from an emissions analyzer and a leak detection camera. The emissions analyzer may detect levels of various gases and relay such information to the control hub. In an exemplary embodiment, the emissions analyzer may purge after every test to ensure longevity and accuracy. A leak detection camera may implement quantifying optical gas imaging in order to continuously monitor for fugitive leaks on a compressor package. If a leak is detected, it may be logged and the user or an operating group may be alerted.

  • Patent number: 11839772
    Abstract: Energy delivery devices with a flexible circuit. The energy delivery devices may be used in the treatment of human tissue, and the flexible circuit move or flex during use. The flexible circuit may include an electronic component and a trace connected with the electronic component. The trace may have a plurality of sections that provide parallel current paths over a portion of the trace. Alternatively, the flexible circuit may include a plurality of traces that are connected with the terminal of the electronic component to provide parallel current paths over their entire length to the terminal of the electronic component. These redundant parallel current paths improve device reliability.

  • Publication number: 20230206012
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to localize dynamic content. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes receiving visual content associated with a game from a first client locale, the visual content including text being represented at the first client locale by a first language, converting the text to generate translated text in at least a second language associated with a second client locale, and storing the translated text in a database in association with the visual content.

  • Publication number: 20230089551
    Abstract: Devices for directing electromagnetic energy to tissue during cosmetic procedures, as well as methods of treatment and methods of device manufacture. An electrode assembly includes a housing, an electrode, and a thermal sensor arranged inside the housing. The electrode, which includes an aperture, is configured to deliver electrical energy to a targeted area of a patient. The thermal sensor is positioned relative to the aperture of the electrode to provide a field of view through the aperture to a surface of the targeted area. The thermal sensor is configured to generate sensor data indicative of a temperature at the surface of the targeted area, and to thereby provide non-contact temperature sensing.

  • Publication number: 20140031190
    Abstract: The invention relates to an accessory used to crease substrate (10) such as paper or card in a guillotine assembly (16) making use of the guillotine assembly's in-built clamping mode. The accessory includes a removable male portion (26) having an elongate protrusion (30) and a removable female portion (124) having a groove (32) therealong to receive the male portion therein. Attachment means, such as a magnetic strip is provided to removably secure the male and female portions between the clamping arrangement (18) and a cutting bed (12). When the guillotine assembly is operated in a clamping movement, the male and female portions of the creasing accessory coact to crease the substrate along a crease line. A kit comprising several female portions of different dimensions is also provided to make creases of different dimensions as required by the particular application and substrate properties.

  • Publication number: 20120297319
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for collaboratively configuring an information handling system (IHS). Collaborative IHS configuration operations are initiated by a first user selecting an IHS product to collaboratively configure. The first user selects one of more additional users for collaboration. The current product configuration, along with configuration options for each of the components of the selected IHS product, is then respectively displayed within a user interface (UI) for each of the users. Collaborative product configuration modification operations are then interactively performed by the users. The modified configuration is then saved as a unique configuration of the IHS product.

  • Publication number: 20120130863
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for conducting electronic commerce within a social media environment. A user of a social media site elects to perform an activity associated with a social commerce site. Once the social commerce activity has been performed, its corresponding value is processed with social commerce reputation data associated with the user to generate a social commerce reputation score for the user. The resulting social commerce reputation score is then compared to the requirements associated with different social commerce reputation badges. The social commerce reputation badge that matches the user's current social commerce reputation score is then displayed as a graphical image within the social commerce site along with the user's associated social commerce reputation data.

  • Publication number: 20080240865
    Abstract: A module is for use in drilling a borehole in face of a mine passage using a drilling element and installing a bolt in the borehole once formed. The module may include a bolt holder for holding a plurality of bolts and a drilling element holder for holding a plurality of different drilling elements. A manipulator moves along an arcuate path between the bolt and drilling element holders to deliver the respective components to a drill head positioned along the arcuate path. The drill head may also slide relative to the mast in two different directions, and includes a drill guide for determining the location of the face to be worked. Related aspects of control of the module and methods are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20080079220
    Abstract: An environmental seal incorporated into a diffusion furnace having a heated chamber including a rotatable susceptor and integrally formed shaft support. A plurality of silicon wafers are supported on an associated carrier centered upon the turntable and rotated at a selected velocity. The processing chamber is heated to a selected temperature range and, corresponding to a desired (typically subatmospheric pressure) environment established within the interior and the introduction to a desired recipe of gaseous components/dopants, facilitates a wafer material treatment within the furnace. The use of a nonmetallic environmental seal, typically in the form of a spring-loaded rotary seal or multiple O-ring arrangement, prevents the escape of heat or introduction of pressure/particle contaminants into the chamber. One or more mirror surfaces further assist in retarding heat loss.
