  • Patent number: 12153597
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for accessing a semantic change data capture (CDC). An embodiment operates by receiving a request for changes made to a source system from a consumer at a target system. The embodiment determines a high watermark stored in a consumer registration table based on the consumer. The embodiment further determines a set of open transactions on an enhanced data table. The embodiment then determines a set of changes made to the source system based on the high watermark and the set of open transactions. The embodiment transmits the set of changes to the consumer at the target system. The embodiment then receives a confirmation from the consumer at the target system that the set of changes were committed to the target system. The embodiment then updates the high watermark in the consumer registration table based on the confirmation.

  • Patent number: 12088283
    Abstract: A gate driver system includes a gate driver circuit coupled to a gate terminal of a transistor and configured to control a gate voltage to generate an on-current during a plurality of turn-on switching events to turn on the transistor. The gate driver circuit includes a first driver configured to source a first portion of the on-current to the gate terminal to charge a first portion of the gate voltage, and a second driver configured to, during a boost interval, source a second portion of the on-current to the gate terminal to charge a second portion of the gate voltage. A control circuit measures a transistor parameter representative of a reverse recovery current of the transistor for a turn-on switching event during which the transistor is transitioned to an on state and controls the first driver and controls the second driver based on the measured transistor parameter.

  • Publication number: 20220324302
    Abstract: Protection device for a motor vehicle interior having a flexible planar structure which, between a deployed protective position and a compact deposited resting position, is displaceable along an extraction direction so as to be guided by guide rails that lie opposite one another so as to be transverse to the extraction direction. At least one guide tape is disposed on a lateral peripheral region of the flexible planar structure and is at least indirectly connected to the flexible planar structure. The flexible planar structure via the guide tape, is held on one of the guide rails. A functional assembly is provided, which is elastically elongatable at least in the transverse direction and via which the flexible planar structure and the guide tape are mechanically connected to one another in an electrically conductive manner. The electrical connection is for supplying power to an electrical consumer.

  • Publication number: 20220252744
    Abstract: A method for identifying emitting species (S1-SN) emitting X- or gamma radiation in a scene, wherein a spectrum of the radiation is supplied as input of a first set of a plurality of convolutional neural networks, each convolutional neural network of the first set being associated with at least one atomic species to be identified and having at least one output indicative of the presence or the absence of the atomic species in the scene. Advantageously, a second set of a plurality of convolutional neural networks makes it possible to determine a signal proportion of each emitting species present in the X- or gamma radiation emanating from the scene. Also disclosed is a device for implementing such a method.

  • Patent number: 10709904
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing nanoparticle-assisted external beam radiotherapy includes an X-ray spectrometer having an optical axis, an X-ray filter, and a mobile holding structure for holding the X-ray filter and X-ray spectrometer in a first and second relative position, and for switching from the first to second relative position while simultaneously positioning a patient body part in a target region including a target point. An X-ray beam emitted from the X-ray source crosses the X-ray filter before reaching the target point. The propagation of the X-ray beam forms an angle different from 0° and 180° with the optical axis of the X-ray spectrometer. The second relative position is obtained by inverting the relative positions of the X-ray filter and X-ray spectrometer relative to the patient body part. A method of determining an X-ray dose delivered at a region of a patient body using the apparatus is provided.
