  • Aerosol delivery device including a pressure-based aerosol delivery mechanism
    Patent number: 10292424
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices. The aerosol delivery devices include mechanisms configured to deliver an aerosol precursor composition from a reservoir to an atomizer including a heating element to produce a vapor. A pressure controller may control dispensing of the aerosol precursor composition from the reservoir based on a pressure differential between a first pressure within the reservoir and a second pressure proximate the atomizer. The first pressure within the reservoir may be substantially equal to atmospheric pressure. Alternatively, the first pressure within the reservoir may be greater than atmospheric pressure.

    Abstract: A portable vehicle alignment system is provided having two base tower assemblies, each having a pedestal, a columnar tower removably attachable to the top of the pedestal, and a camera pod movable along a length of the tower; and a data processor with a wireless communication device for processing image data from the camera pods. Each camera pod includes a camera for capturing image data of a target mounted on a vehicle, and a communication device for wirelessly communicating with the data processor. One pod has a calibration target and the other pod has a calibration camera for capturing images of the calibration target. The pedestals each have a manually-operated clamp for removably fixedly attaching the tower to the pedestal in one of a plurality of positions such that the orientation of the camera pod to the pedestal is angularly adjustable, allowing horizontal rotation of the camera pod.

  • DYNAMICALLY GENERATING NORMALIZED MASTER DATA
    Publication number: 20190130050
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure pertains to dynamically generating normalized master data. In one embodiment, input records comprising string representations of entities are received from multiple sources. The input records may be used as queries to a similarity search data store of master data records. One or more most likely matching master records are returned with corresponding similarity scores. The input record, master record, and a training set are processed using a machine learning algorithm. In one embodiment, one or more similarity scores are incorporated into the machine learning algorithm. The machine learning algorithm produces a final score. Data from input records may be merged into the master records if the final score is greater than a threshold.

  • APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR OCULAR INJECTION
    Publication number: 20180333297
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing coupled to a medicament container, which is coupled to a needle. An injection assembly is disposed within the housing and includes an energy storage member and an actuation rod. A distal end portion of the actuation rod is disposed within the medicament container. The energy storage member can produce a force on a proximal end portion of the actuation rod sufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container. This can convey at least a portion of a substance from the medicament container via the needle when a distal tip of the needle is disposed within a first region of a target location. The force is insufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container when the distal tip of the needle is disposed within a second region of the target location.
