  • Patent number: 11914759
    Abstract: Examples of augmented reality (AR) environment control advantageously employ multi-factor intention determination and include: performing a multi-factor intention determination for summoning a control object (e.g., a menu, a keyboard, or an input panel) using a set of indications in an AR environment, the set of indications comprising a plurality of indications (e.g., two or more of a palm-facing gesture, an eye gaze, a head gaze, and a finger position simultaneously); and based on at least the set of indications indicating a summoning request by a user, displaying the control object in a position proximate to the user in the AR environment (e.g., docked to a hand of the user). Some examples continue displaying the control object while at least one indication remains, and continue displaying the control object during a timer period if one of the indications is lost.

  • Patent number: 11464903
    Abstract: Drug delivery devices and related methods of assembly are disclosed. The drug delivery device may include a main housing having an exterior surface releasably attachable to a patient, a container disposed in an enclosed space defined by an interior surface of the main housing, and a drive assembly. The container may include a reservoir containing a drug and a stopper. The drive assembly may include drive housing and a tether which slidably engages and is pulled taut against a guide surface of the drive housing. A first end of the tether may be wound around a capstan which is mounted rotatably relative to the drive housing. A second end of the tether may be operably connected to a stopper biasing member. The tether may initially retain the stopper biasing member in an energized state. When released, the stopper biasing member may expand to move the stopper through the reservoir.

  • Publication number: 20220307777
    Abstract: A heat exchanging system includes a frame and at least one heat exchanger. The frame has first and second base members, and first and second sets of crossmembers. The first and second sets of crossmembers extend from the first and second base members, respectively, in opposing directions. The first set of crossmembers engages the second set of crossmembers to form adjoined crossmembers extending between the first and second base members. The crossmembers define at least one window between the first and second base members. The first set of crossmembers is adjustable relative to the second set of crossmembers to increase or decrease a length of each window between the first and second base members. The at least one heat exchanger is disposed within the at least one window.

  • Patent number: 11320215
    Abstract: A tank for a radiator. The tank includes an inlet port through which coolant enters the tank. A wall at least partially defines a cavity in fluid communication with the inlet port. A curved surface of the wall is opposite to the inlet port and reduces volume of the cavity at the inlet port. The curved surface is configured to reduce turbulence of coolant flowing into the cavity from the inlet port. At least one turning vane extends along the wall into the cavity from the inlet port. The at least one turning vane is curved to reduce turbulence of coolant flowing through the inlet port and into the cavity.

  • Patent number: 10649990
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system using at least one computing device, and computer program product are disclosed for linking an ontology provided by a content service with a word expansion ontology. The content service ontology is referred to as a category ontology and the word expansion ontology is referred to herein as a lexical ontology. A user may provide an input such as an input command to an application. The input command is processed by a natural language processing engine to derive the user's intent and to extract relevant entities embodied in the command. The NLP engine may create a composite concept set containing multiple permutations of the concepts (entities extracted) and provide the composite concept set to a concept mapper. The concept mapper applies searches an ontology map and applies one or more scoring operations to determine a best match between the composite concept set and at least one category provided by the category ontology.
