  • Publication number: 20220225672
    Abstract: An aerosol-generating device includes a housing that defines a capsule-receiving cavity, a lid configured to close the housing, and a replaceable mouthpiece coupleable to the lid such that air entering the housing and drawn through the capsule-receiving cavity exits out of the mouthpiece. The lid may be fixedly coupled to the housing at a first point and releasably coupleable to the housing at a second point. The capsule-receiving cavity may have a first end having a first width, and a second end have a second width that is different from the first width. The capsule-receiving cavity may be tapered between the first end and the second end. The mouthpiece may be coupleable to the first end. One or more alignment member may be disposed at or towards the second end. The alignment members may include seals and/or electrical connections and/or flat surfaces and/or angled surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20220220558
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for prediction of a patient's response to a drug for treating androgenetic skin disorders such as alopecia, acne, and hirsutism. For a given drug such as anti-androgens and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, and a given dosage, the likely responsiveness of that drug and dosage may be determined, for example, by generating a set of patient scores based on a patient profile, including genetic sample information, and comparing that scores to a set of reference information.

  • Publication number: 20220221164
    Abstract: A dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) includes an outdoor unit capable of providing a temperature at a set dry bulb temperature and dew point temperature in a wide variety of outdoor air conditions. The DOAS monitors and modulates suction pressure and head pressure in order to maintain a dew point temperature of 45° F. for supplied air. Furthermore, the DOAS includes a hot gas reheat coil, allowing the system to heat the air to 73° F. before supplying the air to a space, even where outdoor air temperature is lower than 73° F. In one embodiment, the DOAS further includes an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) in order to precondition the air to decrease the amount of energy needed to operate the DOAS in some conditions.

  • Patent number: 11378712
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a moving ferromagnetic target object in a protected area comprises a first magnetic sensor adapted to measure a magnetic field within a first localised volume of space defined by a first zone of sensitivity of the first magnetic sensor and to produce a corresponding first measurement signal, and a second magnetic sensor adapted to measure a magnetic field within a second localised volume of space defined by a second zone of sensitivity of the second magnetic sensor and to produce a corresponding second measurement signal. The two magnetic sensors are separated spatially by a baseline such that the overlap between the two zones of sensitivity defines both a protected zone and a non-protected zone.

  • Patent number: 11367361
    Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The method computer program products, and systems can include, for instance: examining data specifying a plurality of alternative candidate routes for travel by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from a current location of the UAV to a destination location; selecting one of the alternative candidate routes as a selected route for travel by the UAV; and controlling the UAV so that while the UAV travels along the selected route the UAV emulates a ground based vehicle (GBV).

  • Patent number: 11367163
    Abstract: Artistic styles extracted from source images may be applied to target images to generate stylized images and/or video sequences. The extracted artistic styles may be stored as a plurality of layers in one or more neural networks, which neural networks may be further optimized, e.g., via the fusion of various elements of the networks' architectures. The artistic style may be applied to the target images and/or video sequences using various optimization methods, such as the use of a first version of the neural network by a first processing device at a first resolution to generate one or more sets of parameters (e.g., scaling and/or biasing parameters), which parameters may then be mapped for use by a second version of the neural network by a second processing device at a second resolution. Analogous multi-processing device and/or multi-network solutions may also be applied to other complex image processing tasks for increased efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11364838
    Abstract: An agricultural work vehicle for operating in a field includes a chassis, a cab mounted to the chassis, a controller for controlling operation of the work vehicle, and a lighting system including a array field light. The controller is in communication with a field map input, and the array field light projects a light emission to illuminate a zone. A light control module is disposed in electrical communication with the controller and operably controls the array field light. Upon identifying an object in the field based on the field map input, the controller determines if the object is in the zone. If the object is in the zone, the light control module controllably adjusts an output from the array field light based on a location of the object in the zone.

  • Patent number: 11366824
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and wired and wireless network communications to provide an interface between repositories of disparate datasets and computing machine-based entities that seek access to the datasets, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform that facilitates consolidation of one or more datasets, whereby a collaborative data layer and associated logic facilitate, for example, efficient access to, and implementation of, collaborative datasets. In some examples, a method may include receiving a dataset having a data format into a dataset ingestion controller configured to form a collaborative dataset, interpreting data of the dataset against data classifications at an inference engine to derive at least an inferred attribute, associating the data with annotative data identifying the inferred attribute, and converting the dataset at a format converter to form an atomized dataset.

  • Publication number: 20220190355
    Abstract: A typical fuel cell device that incorporates an anodic hydrogen splitting catalyst, with an electrolytic separator and a cathodic oxidant is provided. In particular, a fuel cell having a separator that can be kept in a dry state because the oxides in the anion section of the fuel cell will combine with the split hydrogen to create water to wet the separator. Additionally, the cathode can be exchanged to allow for reuse of the more expensive anode material.

  • Patent number: 11361769
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes analyzing a voice command or request from a user, received at an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, for identifying a possibly incorrect or misunderstood voice command or request. A first user is identified and associated to a first user profile, in response to receiving an audio input, including a question or command, at an AI system. A possible defect or error is identified, in whole or in part, of the question or the command, based on the first profile of the first user and a knowledge corpus. A response by the AI system is determined based on the analysis of the content and the user profile for the first user. A possible alternative content is generated, in whole or in part, for the question or the command, and communicated the response including the possible alternative content to the first user.
