  • Patent number: 11407516
    Abstract: An onboard rebreathing loop system resident on an aircraft for providing oxygen to aircraft personnel includes a ceramic oxygen generating system (COGS) module configured to receive an inlet air and output a high purity oxygen (O2) gas into a breathing loop and a carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubber module configured to receive exhaled air from the aircraft personnel and output a CO2-scrubbed air into the breathing loop. The high purity O2 gas and CO2-scrubbed air are mixed to form a mixed gas having a partial pressure of O2 suitable for breathing by the aircraft personnel. The onboard rebreathing loop system may further include an odor removal module, an air temperature and/or humidity control module to condition the mixed gas before breathing by the aircraft personnel, and a gas sensor module to confirm the partial pressure of O2 within the mixed gas before breathing by the aircraft personnel.

  • Patent number: 11195262
    Abstract: A method for identifying a body region in a medical image includes obtaining a medical image including a number of consecutive bio-section images, inputting the medical image into a preset machine learning model to obtain a numerical value for each of the bio-section images corresponding to the body region to which the bio-section image belongs, determining whether the numerical values of the medical image are abnormal, adjusting the numerical values when the numerical values are abnormal, determining the body region corresponding to the numerical values or the adjusted numerical values, and labeling the body region in the medical image and outputting the labeled medical image. The bio-section images are cross-sectional images of a living body.

  • Publication number: 20190227569
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to a task management platform for managing autonomous vehicles. In one example, a computer-implemented method for managing a fleet of vehicles includes obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, vehicle state data indicative of vehicle state from one or more vehicles among a fleet of vehicles. The method further includes determining, by the computing system, if a vehicle event has occurred based at least in part on the vehicle state data. The method further includes in response to determining a vehicle event has occurred, generating, by the computing system, one or more tasks for resolution of the vehicle event, wherein the one or more tasks include data associated with the one or more vehicles and the vehicle event. The method further includes providing, by the computing system, data associated with the one or more tasks to a remote operator computing system.

  • Publication number: 20190220036
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a fleet of vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data representing vehicle state information associated with one or more vehicles among a fleet of vehicles at one or more times. The method includes predicting a future vehicle state associated with the one or more vehicles at one or more future times. The method includes scheduling a vehicle assignment in a predetermined set of vehicle assignments for a selected vehicle among the one or more vehicles before a first future time among the one or more future times. The method includes transmitting a command signal to a computing system associated with the selected vehicle based at least in part on the scheduled vehicle assignment.

  • Patent number: 10184233
    Abstract: An aerator with an LED has: a case, a water fairing member and a throttle ring. The case further has a generator with a rotator. The water fairing member is disposed in the case through the inlet, the water fairing member has an annular slot facing the inlet of the case, a plurality of inlet apertures are disposed at a bottom of the annular slot. The water fairing member has a containment space facing the generator, and the containment space covers the rotator of the generator. The containment space has a plurality of outlet apertures, and the inlet apertures face a center of the water fairing member and helically connected to the outlet apertures. The inlet apertures taper towards the outlet apertures. The throttle ring is disposed in the annular slot of the water fairing member, and the throttle ring is adjacent to an inner edge of the annular slot.

  • Publication number: 20160343026
    Abstract: A target audience for an ad campaign is determined during an exploration period of the ad campaign by modifying the target audience based on the fulfillment of performance objectives. An initial target audience may be provided by the advertiser or determined by the social networking system based on ad campaigns having similar ad content or other similar characteristics. Advertisements associated with the ad campaign are served to users of the initial target audience. A subset of the target audience that fulfills the performance objectives of the ad campaign is identified and those users are used to generate a new targeting audience to target users that “look like” the subset of the target audience. The new targeting audience is used in place of the initial target audience to improve targeting for the advertisement. This process may be iteratively performed to refine the target audience during the exploration period.

  • Patent number: 9422695
    Abstract: A water faucet has a housing, an outlet cover, a valve shaft, a valve base, a pushing rod and a linkage rod. By repeatedly pressing a knob, water supply can be switched between the two different outlet portions, which is easy to operate. A valve shaft is only pushed by the spring such that a stopping loop of the valve shaft firmly contacts the divider of the valve base without leakage.
