Publication number: 20240299891Abstract: A chemical delivery system with dilution control includes a chemical delivery manifold with eductors each fluidly coupled to a valve configured to operate independently to selectively control flow of a motive fluid through a respective eductor. Metering devices are coupled to concentrated chemical lines and configured to control a rate of dispensing of the concentrated chemical passing therethrough to each of the eductors. Concentrated chemical flow rate sensors are coupled to each of these individual concentrated chemical lines and configured to measure a flow rate of the concentrated chemicals therethrough. A control unit receives a measured flow rate from each flow rate sensor and causes a respective metering device to adjust the rate of dispensing for one or more concentrated chemicals to control the flow rates of the concentrated chemicals and thereby individually control a dilution of each concentrated chemical in the motive fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Ken Martin, Andrew Edmunds, Connor Findlay, Pa Mong Xiong, Daniel Folk, Nathan Schlueter, Brandon Hoffman, Tony Geisler

Patent number: 10157268Abstract: Each program thread running on a computing device has an associated data stack and control stack. A stack displacement value is generated, which is the difference between the memory address of the base of the data stack and the memory address of the base of the control stack, and is stored in a register of a processor of the computing device that is restricted to operating system kernel use. For each thread on which return flow guard is enabled, prologue and epilogue code is added to each function of the thread (e.g., by a memory manager of the computing device). The data stack and the control stack each store a return address for the function, and when the function completes the epilogue code allows the function to return only if the return addresses on the data stack and the control stack match.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2016Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jordan Thomas Rabet, Kenneth D. Johnson, Matthew R. Miller, Adam M. Zabrocki, Shawn Daniel Hoffman, Landy Wang, Yevgeniy M. Bak

Patent number: 10037479Abstract: Systems and methods for eye tracking include a video capture component that provides a video of an environment and a set of gaze tracking coordinates for the video. A library stores a plurality of feature sets representing respective areas of interest with respective object labels. An image annotation component extracts a plurality of features from a region of interest and matches the extracted features to an area of interest in the library to produce a selected area of interest and a confidence value. A verification component accepts the selected area of interest if the confidence value meets a threshold value and sends the region of interest to a human expert to assign an object label if the confidence value does not. The library is dynamically updated in response to input from the human expert to add new areas of interest and new object labels to the library.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2016Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: MEDSTAR HEALTHInventors: Allan Fong, Daniel Hoffman, Raj Ratwani, A.
