  • Patent number: 12233625
    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing electrochromic windows are described. An electrochromic device is fabricated to substantially cover a glass sheet, for example float glass, and a cutting pattern is defined based on one or more low-defectivity areas in the device from which one or more electrochromic panes are cut. Laser scribes and/or bus bars may be added prior to cutting the panes or after. Edge deletion can also be performed prior to or after cutting the electrochromic panes from the glass sheet. Insulated glass units (IGUs) are fabricated from the electrochromic panes and optionally one or more of the panes of the IGU are strengthened.

  • Publication number: 20250043679
    Abstract: Systems and methods of evaluating well cementation are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a tool is lowered into a casing surrounded by an annular material within a wellbore. An emitter of the tool emits an acoustic signal at a first pitch angle selected to excite a mixed-mode Lamb wave comprising a symmetric extensional (Sn) mode and an asymmetric flexural (An) mode of a Lamb wave in the casing. A receiver of the tool that is disposed at a first distance from the emitter receives a portion of the Lamb wave that has leaked from the casing at approximately the first distance.

    Abstract: A headgear, for use in combination with a breathing apparatus, has a plastic or elastomer core and a fabric or textile casing. The headgear, or portions thereof, may also include a length adjustment arrangement that permits adjustment of a length of a section of the headgear. The length adjustment arrangement can comprise overlapping strap portions of the headgear. In some configurations, the overlapping strap portions can be covered by a sleeve. The sleeve can be secured to the headgear by overmolded end caps. A nasal respiratory interface can include a frame having a front surface, a rear surface, and an aperture extending from the front surface to the rear surface. The frame can have an oval form with a truncated height portion. The interface can also include a seal for a nasal pillow. The seal can be attached to the frame.

  • Publication number: 20230286655
    Abstract: A double bench seat for transport craft passengers is disclosed having a sitting configuration and a lying configuration, and including a substantially vertical shell surrounding two independent twin seats. The two twin seats are oriented along the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, the two twin seats each assume, independently of one another, at least one chair-like position and one bed-like position, the two twin seats include a backrest and a seat, in the bed-like position, the two twin seats are extended by an extension. When the double bench seat is in the lying configuration, the two twin seats are in the bed-like position and arranged to be at the same height and to form a continuous horizontal surface with a width and length adapted to form a double bed that can accommodate two lying persons.

  • Patent number: 11696811
    Abstract: A system for containing and transporting a medical device may include a container including a bottom face and surrounding side faces as a closed first end and an open second end to form an inner portion for receiving and retaining the medical device. The liner may be extendable over the side faces to line the inner portion of the container to an outer surface of the bottom face of the container. The liner may act as a protective barrier to the container to minimize contamination when receiving and/or retaining a used medical device. First and second covers may be removably attachable to the container, over the liner, to enclose a medical device therebetween. A first cover may have a color or marking indicating the medical device is “clean”, while a second cover may have a color or marking indicating the medical device is “used”.

  • Patent number: 11354101
    Abstract: A system, method, and platform for automated and orchestrated software development and deployment are described. The platform automatically creates scripts for the target platform and orchestrates its execution. The platform receives source script, separates script commands from variables and values, determines source data and target data in the scripts, and stores them separately. The platform further creates a list of end functions (also referred to as tasks) to be executed on the target machine based on a given workflow and target machine data and provides orchestrated detailed execution scripts for the target machine. As one may appreciate, the platform provides an automated way to use an existing script written for one target machine to generate scripts for another target machine.
