  • Patent number: 12626317
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for capturing and authenticating human-generated inventions. The method involves initiating a timestamped invention capture event; prompting a user to move a mobile device in a predetermined sequence detected by a sensor; and authenticating the user based on successful detection of this movement sequence. Upon authentication, the method prompts the user to answer a series of invention-related questions in a multimodal format, recording each response in distinct, timestamped sections. The responses are stored in a database as a text file that includes time and date records of the invention capture event, creating a secure, verifiable record of user-generated invention data. The method further provides a reliable system for capturing and attributing inventions accurately, thereby supporting patent-related processes requiring authenticated human inventorship.

  • Publication number: 20230170068
    Abstract: A point of care device for supporting management of medication at a point of care location is provided, comprising: a container defining an interior space accessible via an opening and a sensor system. A sensor system coupled to the container includes one or more vibration sensors, a memory, and a power supply. The vibration sensors (i) detect vibrations or movements resulting from end-user interactions with the container and (ii) output vibration signal data indicative of the vibrations detected. The memory stores the vibration signal data over a defined time period. In a first point of care mode, the container receives and contains used medication delivery devices into the interior space, and to contain said used medication delivery devices therein. In a second processing mode, the container allows access to the interior space for removal of the used medication delivery devices.

  • Patent number: 10926883
    Abstract: An aircraft includes a first engine that generates first bleed air flow and a second engine that generates second bleed air flow. The aircraft further includes an aircraft environmental control system (ECS) with a bleed manifold to collect the first bleed air flow and the second bleed air flow, and one or more air cycle machines to perform air conditioning consuming bleed air flow from the bleed manifold. The ECS balances the first bleed air flow and the second bleed air flow output from the first engine and second engine, respectively, based on a bleed manifold pressure of the bleed manifold.

  • Patent number: 10711916
    Abstract: An aircraft environmental control system (ECS) includes a first valve that is adjustable between a plurality of first positions to open or shut-off a bleed air flow that flows from an inlet of the first valve to an outlet of the first valve. A second valve includes an inlet in fluid communication with the first valve outlet, and is adjustable between a plurality of second positions to throttle the bleed air that flows from the inlet of the second valve to an outlet of the second valve. A valve position sensor outputs a position signal indicating a measured position among the plurality of second positions. A controller is in signal communication with the valve position sensor. The controller is configured to determine a primary effective area of the second valve based on the measured position, and to diagnose operation of the first valve based on the primary effective area.

  • Patent number: 10569887
    Abstract: A system and method onboard an aircraft includes a ram air temperature sensor, a bleed air temperature sensor, a valve, and a controller. The ram air temperature sensor is positioned to sense a ram air temperature of a ram air flow. The bleed air temperature sensor is positioned to sense a bleed air temperature of a bleed air flow, wherein the bleed air flow is cooled by a heat exchanger using the ram air flow. The valve is configured to control the bleed air flow upstream of the heat exchanger. The controller is configured to determine a bleed air threshold based on the ram air temperature, and control the valve to reduce the bleed air flow in response to the bleed air temperature reaching the bleed air threshold.
