  • Publication number: 20240108060
    Abstract: The invention herein provides devices, e.g., non-electronic, non-heating, or both non-electronic and non-heating, devices for delivering volatile compound(s) to the mouth. In aspects devices comprise first and second components releasably held together by a selectively releasable attachment mechanism, such that the first and second components can be completely disengaged from one another. In aspects, devices further comprise an adjustable airflow control mechanism controlled by the rotation of the first and second components relative to one another. In aspects, rotation of the first and second components provides an audible, tactile, or audible and tactile indication of movement indicating a change in airflow control setting(s). Devices can further comprise one or more visual indicators indicating spatial orientation of one or more device components, the status of the airflow control setting(s), or both.

  • Publication number: 20240090591
    Abstract: Provided are devices for delivering volatile compound(s) to individuals. The delivery devices can be unpowered devices. The volatile compound(s) can be flavored. Delivery device can comprise engageable components releasably held together by a selectively releasable attachment mechanism. In aspects, the delivery devices further comprise an adjustable airflow control mechanism. In aspects, movement of delivery device components is associated with visual, audible, tactile, or audible and tactile indication of movement or position of device elements. In aspects, element(s) of a delivery device or a device in a system serve as a fidget movement element, being detectably moveable within a short period upon application of a small initiation force easily being returned to a position suitable for repeating the movement. Further provided are methods of using such delivery devices or systems for promoting user sensory experiences or for other beneficial effects, such as reducing habit-related behaviors or sensations.

  • Publication number: 20220291642
    Abstract: A method includes providing a data processing system that stores a deep reinforcement-learning algorithm (DRL). The data processing system is configured to train the DRL. The data processing system will also include the latent vector that adapts a process controller to a new industrial process. The data processing system will also train a meta-RL agent using a meta-RL training algorithm. The meta-RL training algorithm trains the meta-RL agent to find a suitable latent state to control the new process.

  • Publication number: 20070067119
    Abstract: A meter for measuring power parameters on one or more electrical power lines/loads is configured to operate with our without a removable metering options module. The meter includes a meter housing designed and dimensioned for rack mounted installation in a bay of an equipment rack or cabinet, and metering circuitry configured to provide revenue accurate metering and power quality analysis for a power line/load. The metering options module may be mounted to an externally accessible surface of the meter to change the functionality of the metering circuitry without increasing the dimensions of an outer envelop of the meter, and without disturbing tamper-proof seals included on the meter.

  • Publication number: 20070067121
    Abstract: A power meter for measuring power parameters on one or more electrical power lines/loads is configured to include a revenue class metering module and a power quality metering module. The revenue class metering module and the power quality metering module may use the same measured voltage and current signals to generate revenue accurate power consumption information and power quality information, respectively. The power meter may also include a plurality of filters configured to attenuate high frequency signals included in the voltage and current signals. Each of the filters may be configured with a corner frequency, gain and signal propagation delay that is substantially equal. The filtered current and voltage signals may be received and processed by the revenue class metering module, and the power quality metering module to generate revenue accurate power consumption information and power quality information, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20060279910
    Abstract: A sensor apparatus for measuring power parameters on a power conductor, such as a high voltage transmission line may include a corona structure, an electronics assembly and a conductor mountable device. The corona structure may define an outer boundary surrounding the electronics assembly and the conductor mountable device. The corona structure may shield the electronic assembly and conductor mountable device from a corona produceable with the power conductor. The conductor mountable device may be a power parameter measurement device, such as a current sensor assembly. The current sensor assembly may be a split-core design that includes multiple transformer cores. The electronics assembly and the conductor mountable device may powered from a line voltage suppliable on the power conductor. Data may be wirelessly transmitted and received with the sensor apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20050288877
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reclassifying instrument transformers. A line mounted device that includes a sensor that can be attached to a power line. The line mounted device generates data or representations of the power parameters of the power line. A processor in the line mounted device produces modified representations of the power parameters that are transmitted wirelessly to a microprocessor based device. The microprocessor based device also receives second representations of the power parameters from legacy instrumentation. Compensation data is produced based on the modified representations from the line mounted device and the second representations from the legacy instrumentation. The compensation data can be used to compensate or correct the representations of the power parameters from the legacy instrumentation even after the line mounted device is no longer attached to the power line.
