  • Patent number: 10918434
    Abstract: Multi-electrode ablation systems, methods, and controllers are described. In one example, a multi-electrode ablation system includes a power supply configured to be coupled to a plurality of electrodes and a controller coupled to the power supply. The controller is configured to determine a thermal gain of each electrode of the plurality of electrodes. For each electrode of the plurality of electrodes, the controller sets a power limit based at least in part on said electrode's determined thermal gain. The power limit establishes a maximum power that may be dissipated through said electrode.

  • Patent number: 10848818
    Abstract: Processing circuitry of a connectivity device can receive an audio video signal from a first source. The processing circuitry can also receive an audio signal from a second source. The processing circuitry can transmit the audio video signal to a sink device. When an audio level from the second source exceeds a threshold, the processing circuitry can send the audio signal from the second source along with the video signal from the first source to the sink device.

  • Publication number: 20200367078
    Abstract: A method, system and computer-readable medium where a weighted composite quality index having a plurality of components for a network element is identified. A historical baseline value from historical data for each component is determined, and a deviation from the historical baseline values is measured. A risk level for the deviation is assigned. A loss score for the measured components is computed by mapping the risk level to a numerical score. An aggregated risk score based on a sum of weighted risk scores for each of the components is computed. An expected risk score based on probabilities associated with the aggregated risk score is determined by computing future probabilities of each risk level at the network element based on a trained machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20200113745
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for mechanically bonding substrates together. The apparatuses may include a pattern roll including a pattern element protruding radially outward. The pattern element includes a pattern surface and includes one or more channels adjacent the pattern surface. The pattern roll may be positioned adjacent an anvil roll to define a nip between the pattern surface and the anvil roll, wherein the pattern roll is biased toward the anvil roll to define a nip pressure between pattern surface and the anvil roll. As substrates advance between the pattern roll and anvil roll, the substrates are compressed between the anvil roll and the pattern surface to form a discrete bond region between the first and second substrates. As such, during the bonding process, some yielded substrate material flows from under the pattern surface and into the channel to form a channel grommet region.
