  • Publication number: 20250020485
    Abstract: A method of dynamic, real-time generation of a blended output from a plurality of sensors is provided. The method includes, at a frame rate, periodically storing samples from the plurality of sensors; band pass filtering the stored samples separately for each of the plurality of sensors over a time scale characteristic of a type of error for the plurality of sensors; storing the filtered samples; at an accumulation rate, iteratively updating a covariance matrix based on a selected number of filtered samples, removing data from the covariance matrix for any of the plurality of sensors that have failed; and calculating, based on the covariance matrix, changes to real-time coefficients to be applied to the outputs of each sensor of the plurality of sensors; and at the frame rate, applying the changes to the real-time coefficients; and calculating the blended output for the plurality of sensors based on the real-time coefficients.

  • Patent number: 11918886
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a coil protection assembly configured to be incorporated into a piece of sports equipment such as a glove, shin guard, or shoulder pad. The coil protection assembly may include a coil element spiraled to form a plurality of loops. The coil protection assembly may also have a foam layer disposed on the interior surface of the coil element. An outer layer may enclose or encase the coil element and the foam layer with the loops free to move with respect to one another, A strip of liner material may be secured to the outer layer to connect the loop together. The liner material may be an elastic material to allow the loops to move away from each other, yet still retract back to a default position.

  • Publication number: 20240016631
    Abstract: An endograft delivery device assembly a guide wire cannula extending distally from the tip to a handle assembly at the distal end. A positioner is disposed around the guide wire cannula. A sheath extends from the handle assembly over the positioner towards the tip. A sheath splitter assembly is within the handle assembly, and includes a splitter body attached to the positioner and disposed within the sheath and at least one splitter arm. The splitter body defines a through-hole through which a guide wire cannula passes. The splitter arm extends laterally from the splitter body though a slit though the sheath to a support within the handle assembly. The splitter body includes a circumferential sealing surface extending towards the tip, the sealing surface and the inner surface of the sheath dimensioned such that the sheath is circumferentially stretched over the sealing surface thereby forming a seal.

  • Patent number: 11875185
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes receiving data associated with a driver performing actions. At least some of the actions trigger events emitted by an event emitter. Information, from the received data, about the performed actions is logged in an action log. An event observer is instructed to log the events emitted by the event emitter that the event observer observes. The observed events are logged in an event log. The information of the action log and information of the event log is compared based on a rule, and a validity of the event emitter is determined based on results of the comparing. A computer program product according to another embodiment includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform the foregoing method.
