    Patent number: 10596106
    Abstract: Systems and methods for removal of human cerumen are provided. A composition for removal of cerumen includes at least one cerumenolytically acceptable active agent and an otologically acceptable vehicle. The cerumenolytically acceptable active agent may be an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Exemplary AHA may include, but are not limited to, glycolic acid, tartronic acid, lactic acid, malic acid and any derivative or mixture thereof. The otologically acceptable vehicle may be sodium or potassium salts of bicarbonate aqueous buffer. Yet further, the otologically acceptable vehicle may contain sodium docusate. Cerumen may be removed and/or a cerumen impaction may be treated by administering to a patient in need thereof a composition comprising an AHA and an otologically acceptable vehicle.

  • Degauss circuit for use in an electronically actuated door lock
    Patent number: 10573450
    Abstract: A novel and useful degauss circuit for use with electromagnetic door locks. The door lock circuit is configured to provide a constant current to the electromagnetic coil load. A pulse width modulation (PWM) controller varies the frequency and/or duty cycle to a switch in series with the coil. Coil current feedback is used to adjust the PWM frequency and/or duty cycle so as to maintain the current through the coil at a certain level to maintain a desired holding force on the door lock. A degauss circuit inline with the current flowing through the coil is provided. When triggered either in an uncontrolled or controlled manner, a series RLC circuit that includes the coil inductance and resistance causes ringing to occur whereby the coil current reverses direction with sufficient amplitude and duration to degauss the coil.

  • System and methods for reducing particulate matter emissions
    Patent number: 10487760
    Abstract: A method may comprise: positioning a pressure control valve (PCV) at an outlet of a fuel rail; positioning a volume control valve (VCV) at an inlet of a high pressure pump; and in response to an exhaust particulate matter (PM) level deviating from a target PM level, adjusting a fuel ratio of a first fuel and a second fuel delivered to an engine, and opening one of the PCV and the VCV. In this way, the fuel oxygen content may be adjusted to maintain a PM at or below a target level without a DPF over a broad range of engine designs and operating conditions, while maintaining fuel economy.

  • Building a user profile data repository
    Patent number: 10476975
    Abstract: A computer accesses, from a data repository, profile data of a first entity. The computer determines that a set of information items from the accessed profile data of the first entity are associated with a target activity. The computer determines that the set of information items associated with the target activity includes a subset of information items associated with a second entity. The computer creates or edits, within the data repository, profile data of the second entity based on the subset of information items. The computer provides a digital transmission of at least a portion of the profile data of the second entity.
