  • Patent number: 11602707
    Abstract: A pressure tank condensation separator having an interior chamber forming a downflow path on a first side and an upflow path on a second side passing through horizontally positioned shelves; each shelf having at least one passageway positioned to cause a tortuous air path wherein moisture is separated and deposited on each shelf. The shelves are sloped, leading to drain holes for directing moisture collected to a purge valve. The removal of moisture is most beneficial to clean radar sensors, LIDAR and video cameras used on autonomous vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20220050996
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for augmenting digital analysis of lesions. An image of tissue having a glandular epithelial component is generated. The image represents a plurality of medium-scale epithelial components. For each of a plurality of cells within the image, a representative point is identified to provide a plurality of representative points for each of the plurality of medium-scale epithelial components. For each of a subset of the plurality of medium-scale epithelial components, a graph connecting the plurality of representative points is constructed. A plurality of classification features is extracted for each of the subset of medium-scale epithelial components from the graph constructed for the medium-scale epithelial component. A clinical parameter is assigned to each medium-scale epithelial component according to the extracted plurality of classification features.

  • Patent number: 10407030
    Abstract: A filler neck for use with an automotive fluid container having a body that includes an opening in communication with a reservoir and a fluid passageway for allowing fluid to flow through the body into the container. The reservoir and the fluid passageway are configured to regulate fluid flow through the body. The reservoir has a fill limit section. The body further includes an air passageway, an air channel and an exhaust port for allowing displaced air from the container to flow through the body. The air passageway, the air channel and the exhaust port are integrally formed with the body. The exhaust port is positioned above the fill limit section to maximize air exhaust and minimize fluid leakage from the body.

  • Patent number: 9856777
    Abstract: A dual chamber coolant reservoir having a single vent neck. The coolant reservoir is for an internal combustion engine cooling system wherein the reservoir housing includes a first chamber and a second chamber formed integral thereto. A vent neck includes an aperture for accessing the first chamber with either a two or three o-ring cap to maintain pressure within the first chamber. Means for venting the second chamber when coolant exceeds a predetermined pressure level and a means for venting the first and second chamber when said cap is moved from a closed position to an open position. An inline pressure relief valve and check valve providing pressure relief and air displacement.
