  • Publication number: 20240099938
    Abstract: An adapter for coupling with medical vials has a housing with a center longitudinal axis. The adapter includes first latching portions on an inner circumference for latching to a first closing cover of a first vial, and second latching portions on the inner circumference for latching to a second closing cover of a second vial. The second closing cover has a larger diameter than the first closing cover. The housing has web portions and spring arm portions extending between the web portions and on which the first latching portions are arranged. The housing is elastically deformable from a first state, in which the spring arm portions latch with the first latching cover, into a second state, in which the spring arm portions allow a latching connection between the second latching portions and the second closing cover. The adapter device can be used in infusion therapy.

  • Patent number: 11927192
    Abstract: A pump apparatus has a rotor shaft, a pump impeller connected to the rotor shaft, at least one axial bearing which rotatably supports the rotor shaft at a side facing the pump impeller, a magnetic pump stator, a magnetic pump rotor which is connected to the rotor shaft, a containment can which extends between the stator and the rotor, and at least one central support element which is mounted in the region of the pump impeller. The pump apparatus has an elastomer disk which is arranged between the support element and the axial bearing. The stator and the rotor are arranged with an axial offset with respect to each other. The stator and the rotor are provided as a result of the axial offset to produce an axial force F in the direction of the elastomer disk.

  • Patent number: 11874415
    Abstract: From each of a plurality of cameras, a visual input of a location is received over a network. For each visual input from the plurality of cameras, a coupling correction is performed between a shaking of the camera with respect to the visual input by subtracting velocity vectors of the plurality of cameras from velocity vectors of pixels defining the visual input to provide a processed input. It is determined whether a shaking identified in the processed input is above a predetermined threshold based on the processed input, thereby detecting one or more anomalies. From the one or more anomalies, at least one of a location, magnitude, or depth of an earthquake are inferred based on the shaking identified in the processed input of each of the plurality of cameras.

  • Patent number: 11810569
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for processing audio information are disclosed. An exemplary method includes receiving an audio stream. The audio stream may be monitored by a low power integrated circuit. The audio stream may be digitized by the low power integrated circuit. The digitized audio stream may be stored in a memory, wherein storing the digitized audio stream comprises replacing a prior digitized audio stream stored in the memory with the digitized audio stream. The low power integrated circuit may analyze the stored digitized audio stream for recognition of a keyword. The low power integrated circuit may induce a processor to enter an increased power usage state upon recognition of the keyword within the stored digitized audio stream. The stored digitized audio stream may be transmitted to a server for processing. A response received from the server based on the processed audio stream may be rendered.

  • Publication number: 20230009371
    Abstract: The invention relates to a separating device for a turbomachine, comprising at least one housing (12) that has at least one bearing receiving area (24), which defines at least one bearing axis (26), and at least one wheel-side area (28). The separating device also comprises at least one swirling unit (32), which is arranged on the housing (12) in particular, for deflecting and/or swirling at least one fluid and/or particle flow (34), wherein the swirling unit (32) has at least one flow recess (38) which is delimited by a wall (36) of the housing (12) and which extends within the wheel-side area (28) at a distance from the bearing axis (26). According to the invention, the swirling unit (32) comprises at least one seal gap element (40) which is arranged on a wall (36) of the housing (12) and which is designed to deflect and/or swirl at least one fluid and/or particle flow (34) flowing through the flow recess (38) along the bearing axis (26) and/or towards the bearing axis (26).

  • Patent number: 11360970
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes accessing, by a processing unit, an existing layer representing geospatial-temporal data at a selected timestamp. A first overview layer of the existing layer is generated by iteratively aggregating each cluster of cells of the existing layer into a corresponding lower-resolution cell of the first overview layer. The first overview layer therefore has a lower resolution than the existing layer. A query is received related to the geospatial-temporal data in the existing layer, and the query is processed with reference to the first overview layer.
