  • Publication number: 20250239765
    Abstract: An antenna is configured to transmit a first electromagnetic signal at full power using a first set of radiating elements and to transmit the first electromagnetic signal at an attenuated power using a second set of radiating elements to decrease at least one side lobe associated with transmission of the first electromagnetic signal. The antenna is configured to receive a second electromagnetic signal having an associated first power level using the second set of radiating elements and to form an aggregated electromagnetic signal having a second power level that is a multiple of the first power level. The antenna is configured to attenuate the aggregated signal to form an attenuated electromagnetic signal having a third power level to facilitate uniform reception of the second electromagnetic signal and tapered transmission.

  • Patent number: 12352264
    Abstract: A cylinder liner for providing reduced oil carry-over in an air-assisted fuel injection system comprising an air compression piston wherein the cylinder liner and air compression system together in part define an air compression chamber, the cylinder liner comprising: an outer surface; and a plurality of projections on the outer surface; wherein the plurality of projections are arranged such that oil-laden air drawn up from an oil reservoir around the outer surface of the cylinder liner is forced into a labyrinthine path to increase the time the oil-laden air is in contact with the outer surface and increase the amount of oil adhering to the outer surface to minimize the amount of oil carry-over entering the air compression chamber.

  • Publication number: 20250205330
    Abstract: Methods for producing a protective immune response to Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) is provided wherein a fusion protein comprising the S1 Spike protein of the virus operably fused to the heat labile enterotoxin B subunit (LTB) peptide is expressed in a plant and the plant or plant product comprising the fusion protein is orally administered to an animal. The vaccine can be produced by introducing into a plant a construct comprising a promoter preferentially directing expression to seed of said plant, a nucleic acid encoding the S1-LTB fusion protein and a nucleic acid targeting expression to the endoplasmic reticulum of the plant. When orally administered to an animal, a protective response is observed, including a serum antibody response and mucosal immune response.

  • Patent number: 12333765
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring skin tone. A camera and computer may measure skin tone health of a face dataset and color quality of a single face image. The computer and camera may measure skin tone across wide sample of volunteers, express skin tone in CIELCH coordinates; and identify the range of observed lightness, chromaticity, and hue values in the population to determine a sample set. The computer and camera may be configured to match the image to a coordinate system of lightness, chromaticity, and hue in the sample set. If a match is not possible, the computer may be configured to select a coordinate closest to the measured lightness, chromaticity, and hue.

  • Patent number: 12263954
    Abstract: A compact muffler (40) for an engine exhaust system, which is particularly applicable for use with small, reciprocating piston two-stroke engines of the type used on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The compact muffler (40) comprises an exhaust gas flow path (67) between an inlet (61) and an outlet (63). The exhaust gas flow path (67) comprises a plurality of adjacent flow passages (65), wherein at least two of the adjacent flow passages (65) are fluidly connected in series to enable the flow of exhaust gas from one to the other along the flow path (67). The adjacent flow passages (65) are configured for fluid flow therealong in opposed directions. A bypass passage (70) is provided between the two adjacent flow passages (65) for further communication between the two flow passages and to promote an equalisation of fluid pressure within the two adjacent passages (65). A UAV having an internal combustion engine (31) fitted with an exhaust system comprising the compact muffler (40) is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20250082248
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal during a scan of a heart of a subject with a CT scanner. The method includes calculating temporal R-R electrocardiogram interval measurements from the ECG signal. The method includes monitoring whether any irregular cardiac cycles are detected in the temporal R-R electrocardiogram interval measurements. The method includes determining whether an initial Z coverage of the scan is sufficient for obtaining an artifact free image of the heart at a target phase when one or more irregular cardiac cycles are detected. The method includes determining a required Z coverage to obtain the artifact free image of the heart at the target phase when the initial Z coverage is not sufficient. The method includes initiating a rescan of the heart to obtain the required Z coverage while continuing both to obtain the ECG signal and to monitor for any irregular cardiac cycles.
