    Abstract: The door sill includes a sill deck and a rail carrier assembly having a function of height adjustment. The rail carrier assembly is configured on the sill deck. The rail carrier assembly includes a rail cap, a rail carrier, an adjustment nut and an adjustment screw. The rail cap is snapped onto an upper end of the rail carrier. A groove is formed in the sill deck for the rail carrier to fit in. A nut installation hole is formed in the rail carrier. The adjustment nut is assembled at the nut installation hole, and is in threaded fit with the adjustment screw. The adjustment screw drives the adjustment nut to move up or down in an axial direction of the adjustment screw through rotation, thereby altering the height of the rail carrier fitted in the groove and altering the height of the rail cap.

  • Publication number: 20240130649
    Abstract: A method for factory calibration of a sensor of a CGM system is disclosed. A processor receives an enzyme membrane thickness after each dip of a working wire according to first parameters. The processor receives a glucose limiting membrane thickness after each dip of the working wire according to second parameters. The processor determines a working wire diameter, and includes the membrane thicknesses. The processor in communication with the CGM system, automatically generates a correlation between the first and the second parameters to at least one of a factory sensitivity and a drift profile. The drift profile predicts a sensitivity of the sensor over time. The processor associates the at least one of the factory sensitivity or the drift profile with the sensor. The sensor outputs a glucose reading during in-vivo use based on the at least one of the factory sensitivity or the drift profile.

  • Patent number: 11966972
    Abstract: The disclosure describes embodiments of systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable storage media that utilize a machine learning model and a credit value model to generate user interface elements that present credit values and credit value conditions in real time for user accounts. For instance, the disclosed systems can generate an activity score using an activity machine learning model with internal user activity data of a user account. Then, utilizing a credit value model with the activity score and a user activity condition, the disclosed systems can determine a dynamic credit value range for the user account. Indeed, the disclosed systems can display user interface elements with selectable credit values from the dynamic credit value range. Additionally, the disclosed systems can utilize the credit value model to determine and display one or more dynamic credit value conditions for a selected credit value received from the selectable credit values.

  • Publication number: 20240122987
    Abstract: A majority of military casualties occur during the pre-hospital period. The cause of death is largely associated with massive traumatic bleeding that leads to organ damage due to sustained hypoxia. Currently, therapeutics are lacking at the point of injury to mitigate hypoxic damage and maintain the survivability of severe hemorrhage prior to reaching medical facilities. This invention addresses that by introducing a method of co-administering prolyl hydroxylase domain inhibitor (PHDi, MK-8617), anti-fibrinolytic agent (tranexamic acid), and bradykinin receptor antagonist (icatibant) as anti-hemorrhage agents in combination with resuscitation fluid treatment with colloid solution of 25% human albumin that has an advantage of relatively small volume requirement to maintain blood volume. In addition, a kit comprising anti-hemorrhage agents that can be easily carried to the battlefield is also provided here.
