  • Patent number: 11879417
    Abstract: A vapor canister for a vehicle evaporative emissions control system comprises a canister housing defining an internal volume for receiving therein one or more volumes of adsorbent; a fuel vapor inlet port for connecting the canister to a fuel tank; a vent port for intake of fresh air into the canister; a purge port for withdrawing fuel vapors from the canister; and a pump integrated with the canister housing. The integrated pump is actuated to provide an overpressure or underpressure in the canister. The integrated pump can be used for various operating modes, such as e.g. canister purging, leak detection diagnostic, refueling or engine shut down.

  • Publication number: 20230223141
    Abstract: Instruments having plugs with data carriers containing codes identifiable as being correlated. The codes can be individual identifiers that are individually provided to the plugs. If plugs identical in construction of instruments of identical types are connected with apparatus or an apparatus group, e.g., a first plug of a used instrument and a second and third plug of a new instrument that replace the used instrument, the three inserted plugs are determined as not being part of the same instrument and an operation of the apparatus and thus the instruments is blocked.

  • Patent number: 11643228
    Abstract: Modular containerization systems and methods may include a plurality of modular units that may be removably coupled together in various configurations. Each modular unit may receive a container, and each container may receive one or more objects. In addition, each modular unit may include various sensors and processing aid or indicators, such as a container presence sensor, a scale, a stow-to-light indicator, a container complete button and indicator, and a container removal indicator. Further, each modular unit of a modular container system may be in communication with a controller to coordinate various processes associated with the system, including container placement, container filling, and container removal processes using the various sensors and processing aids or indicators.

  • Publication number: 20180144315
    Abstract: A first set of records is identified as being associated with a first asset. A second set of records is obtained, with the second set of records being associated with a second asset. A confidence score is computed based at least in part on the first set of records. As a result of the confidence score exceeding a threshold, an interface is caused to prompt a user associated with the first asset to confirm control of the second asset. In response to receiving a confirmation via the interface, a message is sent to a destination associated with the second asset. A response received is determined to indicate that the second asset is controlled by the user. The second set of records is associated additionally with the first asset. The interface is updated to display details about the first set of records and the second set of records.

  • Patent number: 9904916
    Abstract: A system and method comprising receiving a request to access a first set of details associated with a first transaction conducted by a user, the request including first information that corresponds to a first asset under the control of the user, determining an identity of the user based at least in part on the first information, and identifying a second transaction likely to be associated with the user, the second transaction being associated with second information that corresponds to a second asset different than the first asset. The system and method further including requesting confirmation from the user that the second asset is under the control of the user, and, upon receiving the confirmation, associating the first and second transactions with the first and second information.

  • Publication number: 20180046255
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing a gestural interface in vehicle. In one aspect, movement data corresponding to a gesture of a driver of a vehicle is received from a radar receiver arranged to detect movement at the interior of the vehicle. The gesture is determined to be a particular gesture from among a first predetermined set of gestures for selecting an operating mode of a computing device. In response, a computing device is caused to enter an operating mode corresponding to the particular mode selection gesture, and a determination is made whether a subsequent movement of the driver represents a gesture from a second predetermined set of gestures that is different from the first predetermined set of gestures.

  • Publication number: 20170360459
    Abstract: A medical device and a method for manipulating a tissue are disclosed. The medical device includes two or more bars, a snare loop and a constricting element. Each bar includes a proximal end, and one or more distal ends, such that the bars are in close proximity at the proximal end. The snare loop maybe coupled to the distal ends of the bars. The constricting element maybe movably coupled to the bars, such that the constricting element expands the snare loop when positioned at the proximal end of the plurality of bars while the constricting element collapses the snare loop when positioned at the distal end of the plurality of bars, thus, keeping the distal end of the snare loop stationary with respect to the tissue.

  • Publication number: 20170035452
    Abstract: A tissue resection device for resecting tissue from a target site within a patient's body. The device includes an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. An actuation member extends partially through the shaft, and reciprocates within the shaft between a retracted position and an extended position. Multiple snare wires extend through the actuation member, and emerge outwards from a distal portion of the actuation member. The snare wires cooperate and join to form a snare loop, which engages the tissue intended to be resected. The snare loop is configured to enhance friction while engaging the tissue, to resect the tissue.

  • Patent number: 9234451
    Abstract: A piston for a compression ignition internal combustion engine includes a piston body having a combustion face defining a combustion bowl, and the combustion face including a compound bowl surface and a compound rim surface. The combustion face is profiled to balance a combustion efficiency property of the piston with emissions properties of the piston. A ratio of a diameter of the combustion bowl to a diameter of the cylinder bowl bore is from 0.68 to 0.74. Other dimensional and proportional features of the piston support low smoke and NOx production during operation.

  • Publication number: 20140378988
    Abstract: A medical device for manipulating a tissue is disclosed. The device includes an elongate shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a first lumen between the proximal end and the distal end, which has an opening in communication with the first lumen. The elongate shaft further includes a second lumen or aperture disposed in an external surface of the elongate shaft. The device further includes: a support truss, a snare loop, and an actuation member having a distal end. The actuation member is movably disposed within the first lumen. The support truss is configured to be received within the first lumen, second lumen, or aperture such that a proximal end of the support truss is operably connected to the elongate shaft adjacent a proximal portion of the first lumen, second lumen, or aperture. The snare loop has a first portion connected to a distal end of the support truss and a second portion connected to the distal end of the actuation member.
