  • Publication number: 20250243701
    Abstract: An adjustable closure bumper includes a base, a stem, a bump stop, a ratchet mechanism, and a locking nut. The base is mountable to a body panel adjacent to an opening for a closure panel. The stem is insertable into a receptacle in the base. The bump stop is attached to one end of the stem for engaging the closure panel. The ratchet mechanism allows the stem to move into the receptacle in the base to adjust a height of the adjustable closure bumper while inhibiting movement of the stem out of the receptacle. The locking nut fits over a portion of the base forming the receptacle and is rotatable relative to the base to lockout the ratchet mechanism and thereby set the height of the adjustable closure bumper.

  • Publication number: 20250064383
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mapping wound features of a wound bed and also detecting degradation of electrode or connectivity performances are provided. Electrical measurements are collected from an array of electrodes which apply electrical signals to a periwound tissue outside the wound bed. The electrical measurements are processed to generate an impedance map of the wound bed, which is converted to maps conveying spatial distributions of clinical metrics.

  • Patent number: 12031826
    Abstract: Systems and methods of path-based mapping and routing are provided. Translation information and absolute information of mobile objects in environments are determined based on a fusion of sensing data from a radar and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) including a gyroscope and an accelerometer, from which path-based maps and optimal routes can be generated.

  • Patent number: 10724085
    Abstract: Compositions, reaction mixtures, and methods for performing an amplification reaction, including multiplex amplification reaction, wherein the method comprises using one or more amplification oligomer complexes comprising linked first and second amplification oligomer members. In one aspect, the amplification oligomer complex is hybridized to a target nucleic acid, the target nucleic acid with hybridized amplification oligomer complex is then captured, and other components are washed away. Target sequences of the target nucleic acids are pre-amplified to generate a first amplification product. The first amplification product is amplified in one or more secondary amplification reactions to generate second amplification products.

  • Patent number: 10415092
    Abstract: Compositions that are used in nucleic acid amplification in vitro are disclosed, which include a target specific universal (TSU) promoter primer or promoter provider oligonucleotide that includes a target specific (TS) sequence that hybridizes specifically to a target sequence that is amplified and a universal (U) sequence that is introduced into the sequence that is amplified, by using a primer for the universal sequence. Methods of nucleic acid amplification in vitro are disclosed that use one or more TSU oligonucleotides to attached a U sequence to a target nucleic acid in a target capture step and then use a primer for a U sequence in subsequent amplification steps performed in substantially isothermal conditions to make amplification products that contain a U sequence that indicates the presence of the target nucleic acid in a sample.
