  • Publication number: 20230275309
    Abstract: A vent valve includes a breathable membrane. The vent valve can be in a battery assembly of a vehicle. The vent valve comprises a base defining a central channel and a valve core movably connected with the base and including at least one first gas channel. The valve core is configured to move from a first position to a second position relative to the base under a gas pressure. When the valve core is in the second position, the first gas channel is at least partially opened to allow some airflow to bypass the breathable membrane.

  • Publication number: 20230064744
    Abstract: An augmented analyte monitoring system is described. The augmented analyte monitoring system includes a wearable analyte monitoring device that includes a transmitter and an analyte sensor to obtain analyte data of a user, and an analyte augmentation wearable that includes one or more sensors (e.g., physical and/or biochemical sensors) to obtain additional physiological data for augmenting the analyte data of the user. The analyte augmentation wearable is communicably coupled to the wearable analyte monitoring device. The augmented analyte monitoring system further includes a sensor hub implemented at a computing device to obtain a data packet containing both the analyte data and the additional physiological data from at least one of the wearable analyte monitoring device or the analyte augmentation wearable, and augment the analyte data by storing the analyte data in association with the additional physiological data.

  • Patent number: 11551484
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for managing a vapor cycle machine. Data is received for the vapor cycle machine in an aircraft. The data comprises a pressure, a temperature, and a speed for a set of compressors in the vapor cycle machine. A ratio of the pressure to the temperature is determined for the set of compressors that ran during a flight of the aircraft. A set of actions is performed when the ratio of the pressure to the temperature for the set of compressors that ran during the flight of the aircraft exceeds a threshold more than a selected number of times over a range of flights for the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 11517187
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed providing a flexible articulable device for accessing deep within tight and arbitrarily shaped channels of a body. The flexible or articulable device may employ two, independent locomotion strategies. These strategies can be combined or independently used. However, both strategies use a segmented approach that employs one or multiple embedded actuation units along the body of the device. The multiple embedded actuation units may be individually controlled, are generally connected serially, and generally uses one of the locomotion strategies. One strategy relates to propulsion while the other strategy relates to shape control.

  • Patent number: 11425063
    Abstract: One or more systems and/or techniques for generating a content item from content within a content area are described herein. A first boundary and a second boundary may be defined for a content area based upon a first user input and a second user input, such as swipe gestures. A content item may be generated based upon content within the content area. In an example, a beginning boundary designator may be displayed for the first boundary and an ending boundary designator may be displayed for the second boundary in response to one or more swipe gestures of a user interface. In an example, the content item may be stitched to a second content item to create a stitched content item.

  • Patent number: 11126538
    Abstract: An instrumentation analysis system processes data streams by executing instructions specified using a data stream language program. A user interface allows users to specify data stream language programs. The user interface presents widgets to the user to specify various components of a data stream language program, including a filter expression, an analytical function representing an aggregation or transformation, and so on. The user interface allows users to specify an expression based on results of previously specified data stream language programs. The instrumentation analysis system processes the data stream language programs specified by the user to generate a set of result data streams and plots the result data streams, for example, on a screen of a client device.
