Publication number: 20240159433Abstract: A cryogenic freezer and a method of controlling temperature within the cryogenic freezer. The cryogenic freezer includes an inner vessel. The inner vessel defines a storage chamber. The cryogenic freezer includes an outer vessel surrounding the inner vessel. The outer vessel may define a vacuum-insulated space in between the outer vessel and the inner vessel. The cryogenic freezer includes a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature within the storage chamber. The cryogenic freezer includes a controller coupled to the temperature sensor. The controller is configured to pulse an amount of cryogen into the storage container to control the temperature within the storage container.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: MVE Biological Solutions US, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Brooks, Douglas Alan Wilcox, II, Daniel McCall, Chris Payne

Patent number: 11964692Abstract: A vehicle hitching assistance system includes a controller executing an initial alignment process including searching for a trailer within a specified area of image data that is less than a total field of the image data in directions corresponding with both a longitudinal distance between the vehicle and the trailer and a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal distance, presenting an indication to a driver of the vehicle to reposition the vehicle when the trailer is not identified within the specified area, and removing the indication when the trailer is identified within the specified area. The controller further executes an automated backing process upon identifying the trailer within the specified area, including identifying a coupler of the trailer and outputting a steering signal to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to steer to align a hitch ball of the vehicle with the coupler of the trailer during reversing.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Luke Niewiadomski, Douglas Rogan, Shannon Brooks-Lehnert, Chen Zhang, Roger Arnold Trombley, Peter Ling, Kenneth Michael Mayer, Seyed Armin Raeis Hosseiny, Bo Bao, Steven Wayne Friedlander

Patent number: 11946478Abstract: There is provided a fan assembly comprising a motor-driven impeller arranged to generate an airflow, an air outlet arranged to emit the airflow, a plurality of sensors arranged to measure a value for each of a plurality of air quality characteristics, a display and a processor. The processor is configured to receive measured values for each of the plurality of air quality characteristics, identify one of a corresponding set of intervals within which the measured value falls and select an air quality index value associated with the identified interval. The processor is then configured to identify the highest of the selected air quality index values as a current overall air quality index value and to cause the display to display a time series plot of the current air quality index value and a number of preceding air quality index values.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: David John Shorter, Liam Craig Barclay, Mark Douglas Whiting, Victoria Isabelle Palmer, Jonathan Edward Clear, Edward Michael Waugh, Daniel James Beavis, Thomas Sideropoulos, James Benjamin Brooks

Publication number: 20230351737Abstract: In an approach to integrating real-world properties into machine learning training, a real-world image is received. The real-world image is compared to a simulated image, where the comparison is performed using a discriminator network of a generative adversarial network (GAN). A generator network of the GAN is trained with results of the comparison of the real-world image to the simulated image. Responsive to determining that the real-world image is not optimal, the real-world image is iteratively tuned, using the generator network of the GAN, until it is determined that the real-world image is optimal, where the real-world image is optimal if the real-world image meets a predetermined threshold for accuracy of one or more image parameters of the simulated image versus the real-world image. The discriminator network of the GAN is trained with the real-world image.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Harold A. GARZA, David R. CHAMBERS, Douglas A. BROOKS

Publication number: 20160048642Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a real-time dashboard for proving a user within a department of medicine with real-time information regarding availability and demand for hospital beds throughout a department of medicine. The dashboard can be used to track patients from a point of entry to occupation of a bed. The dashboard also tracks needs from different points of admission such as the emergency department. The user can view the status of beds and the data can be further segmented by a level of care needed by the patient. The needs and preferences of different departments within the main department of medicine can be integrated with the availability and demand information provided by the dashboard. An alert system can also be implemented using the dashboard in order to allow the user to identify bottlenecks in the placement of patients in appropriate hospital beds.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2013Publication date: February 18, 2016Inventors: Douglas Brooks, Hetal Rupani
