  • Publication number: 20260243328
    Abstract: A gear assembly comprising a first gear and a second gear. The gears are complementary conformal gears. The gears are supported for rotation about respective rotation axes extending through respective centres of the gears. One of the gears is configured to exert a driving force on the other of the gears. The gear assembly has an optimum centre distance corresponding to an optimum separation of the centres of the first and the second gears. The first gear is supported by a mounting that allows movement of the first gear towards and/or away from the second gear to minimise any difference between the separation of the centres of the first and second gears, and the optimum centre distance, during use of the gear assembly.

  • Publication number: 20260244626
    Abstract: An AI-based computing system for responding in real-time to an inbound message including a processor that is programmed to cause to display, within a graphical user interface i) a proposed response message responsive to a query message, the proposed response message being generated by an AI response model, ii) a link to one or more relevant documents retrieved from a corresponding subject-category database, and iii) a feedback input enabling a representative to assign a response indicator. The processor is programmed to receive a response indicator for the proposed response message and create a historical record. The processor is programmed to generate a training dataset and re-train the AI response model using the training dataset. The processor is programmed to cause to display, within the graphical user interface, in real-time, a revised response message responsive to the current inbound message using the re-trained AI response model.

  • Patent number: 12521024
    Abstract: A method for measuring cardiac pressure includes positioning a fluid-filled catheter and a pressure wire sensor at a cardiac pressure calibration location. A first pressure measurement is acquired from the fluid-filled catheter and a second pressure measurement is acquired from the pressure wire sensor. A set of equalization parameters is identified to apply to the first pressure measurement to reduce an error between the first pressure measurement and the second pressure measurement. The equalization parameters include a frequency correction parameter and a damping correction parameter to correct for frequency and damping of oscillations in the first pressure measurement. A third pressure measurement is acquired from the fluid-filled catheter. The set of equalization parameters is applied to equalize the third pressure measurement.
