  • Publication number: 20260103372
    Abstract: A capping machine includes a container path, and a capping station at which threaded caps are rotated onto threaded finishes of the containers, wherein the capping station includes a pair of laterally opposed cap screwing belts that are operated and configured to screw threaded caps during container movement. A control system is configured to: automatically determine a torque applying characteristic during application of the threaded caps; automatically compare the torque applying characteristic to an established torque criteria; and if a result of the comparison indicates that the torque applying characteristic is not consistent with the established torque criteria, automatically adjust at least one component of the capping machine to bring the torque applying characteristic back into consistency with the established torque criteria. The torque applying characteristic may be a running average of detected finish torques for multiple caps.

  • Publication number: 20250032909
    Abstract: An imitation learning system may learn how to play a video game based on user interactions by a tester or other user of the video game. The imitation learning system may develop an imitation learning model based, at least in part, on the tester's interaction with the video game and the corresponding state of the video game to determine or predict actions that may be performed when interacting with the video game. The imitation learning system may use the imitation learning model to control automated agents that can play additional instances of the video game. Further, as the user continues to interact with the video game during testing, the imitation learning model may continue to be updated. Thus, the interactions by the automated agents with the video game may, over time, almost mimic the interaction by the user enabling multiple tests of the video game to be performed simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 12070426
    Abstract: An air conditioning assembly for an environmental chamber includes an air handling unit for supplying air to the environmental chamber. A plurality of ducts in fluid communication with the air handing unit and in fluid communication with the environmental chamber are configured to draw air from one side of the environmental chamber through at least one outlet vent, and to blow air into an opposite side of the environmental chamber through at least one equal but opposite inlet vent. At least one air conditioning means in fluid communication with the at least one air handling unit is configured to condition the air flow passing through the air handling unit. The at least one air conditioning means includes an altitude simulator for changing the oxygen content of the air flow. In use, the air conditioning assembly is configured to create substantially laminar air flow throughout the environmental chamber.

  • Patent number: 11979638
    Abstract: A method of reception and playback of audio and/or audiovisual contents in a receiver device capable of receiving a determined audio and/or audiovisual stream coming from a one-way or two-way network. A determined stream broadcast on a network is received and the contents transmitted by the stream are played back in the receiver device. A first event external to the receiver device is detected. It triggers interruption of the playback of the content in progress and recording of the instant of the interruption. Then a second external event is detected. It triggers determining the availability of the unplayed part of the interrupted content and the display of a menu to a user that he should play back the unplayed part. The introduction of a command then triggers retrieval of the unplayed part and the playback of the retrieved content part.

  • Patent number: 11951045
    Abstract: An air conditioning assembly for an environmental chamber includes a suspended ceiling below a structural ceiling creating a plenum space. The suspended ceiling is configured to cover a substantially horizontal plane of the environmental chamber while leaving a first perimeter gap adjacent to a wall of the environmental chamber and a second perimeter gap adjacent to an opposing wall of the environmental chamber. A substantially vertical wall covers a vertical plane of the plenum space. At least one fan draws air from one from the environmental chamber into the plenum space through the first perimeter gap and blows air from the plenum space into the environmental chamber through the second perimeter gap. At least one air conditioning means in fluid communication with the at least one fan conditions the air flow passing through the at least one fan. The air conditioning assembly creates substantially laminar air flow.

  • Patent number: 11889129
    Abstract: A method for signalling, to a terminal, substitution of an item of content, broadcast via a broadcast network to which the terminal is connected, with a substitute item of content. Such a method includes: obtaining a substitute information packet including time information indicating a time of execution, by the terminal, of an action for substituting the broadcast item of content with the substitute item of content, wherein the time information corresponds to a date of rendering of an image of the broadcast item of content with reference to a reference clock embedded in the broadcast item of content; generating an event notification message including the time information; and inserting the event notification message into a data flow conveying the item of content broadcast within the broadcast network.
