  • Patent number: 11954412
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for the transfer of data (e.g. electromagnetic losses and temperature for an electro-thermal simulation) between domains (e.g. 2D regions, 3D regions) with dissimilar topologies, e.g. to represent a physical object. Meshes from 2D and 3D regions of respective simulation models involved in the data transfer are projected onto and through one another. For profile preserving (e.g., temperature, convection coefficients, mesh displacements, etc.) and conservative (e.g., force, mass, or thermal energy, etc.) data transfers, shape functions and area/volume fractions are used in mapping weight generation, respectively. These weights are later used to generate field values on the mesh of the target simulation model, using data from the mesh of the source simulation model. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 11899873
    Abstract: Embodiments included herein are directed towards a method for determining a temperature-compensated touch state of a device, and related systems. The method may include receiving, by a processor of the device and from a first sensor of the device, a first measured value corresponding to a first sensor measurement captured by the first sensor. The method may further include receiving, by the processor and from a temperature sensor of the device, a temperature value corresponding to a first temperature measurement associated with the device and captured by the temperature sensor. The method may also include adjusting a signal corresponding to the first sensor measurement based upon, at least in part, the temperature value, to create a temperature-compensated touch signal. The method may additionally include determining, by the processor, the temperature-compensated touch state of the device based upon, at least in part, the temperature-compensated touch signal.

  • Publication number: 20060161054
    Abstract: A limited use medical probe is disclosed, including a memory for maintaining a use value. The medical probe is coupled to a medical device that inhibits its function when the use value reaches a predetermined threshold value, preventing improper use of the probe. The probe memory may also store identification, usage, and clinical data. A probe auto-identification function, a probe re-identification function and a probe functional test sequence are disclosed for the medical probe. After use, a reprocessing step may reset the probe memory, permitting further probe use.
