  • Patent number: 11938638
    Abstract: Active utilization of a robotic simulator in control of one or more real world robots. A simulated environment of the robotic simulator can be configured to reflect a real world environment in which a real robot is currently disposed, or will be disposed. The robotic simulator can then be used to determine a sequence of robotic actions for use by the real world robot(s) in performing at least part of a robotic task. The sequence of robotic actions can be applied, to a simulated robot of the robotic simulator, to generate a sequence of anticipated simulated state data instances. The real robot can be controlled to implement the sequence of robotic actions. The implementation of one or more of the robotic actions can be contingent on a real state data instance having at least a threshold degree of similarity to a corresponding one of the anticipated simulated state data instances.

  • Patent number: 11943319
    Abstract: Systems and methods for isolating applications associated with multiple tenants within a computing platform receive a request from a client associated with a tenant for running an application on a computing platform. Hosts connected to the platform are associated with a network address and configured to run applications associated with multiple tenants. A host is identified based at least in part on the request. One or more broadcast domain(s) including the identified hosts are generated. The broadcast domains are isolated in the network at a data link layer. A unique tenant identification number corresponding to the tenant is assigned to the broadcast domains. In response to launching the application on the host: the unique tenant identification number is assigned to the launched application and is added to the network address of the host; and the network address of the host is sent to the client associated with the tenant.

  • Publication number: 20230078997
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus and systems for treating a respiratory disorder in a patient. The apparatus comprises a pressure generator configured to generate a flow of air so as to provide ventilatory support to the patient; a transducer configured to generate a flow signal representing a property of the flow of air; and a controller configured to analyse the flow signal to estimate the inspiratory volume and the expiratory volume of a breath of the patient and servo-control the degree of ventilatory support to adjust an estimated tidal volume toward a target tidal volume. A gain of the servo-control is dependent on a difference between the estimated inspiratory volume and the estimated expiratory volume. The method comprises operating an apparatus or system in a similar manner.

  • Publication number: 20220362505
    Abstract: A method of an apparatus control pressure in the patient interface. A vent valve may be used with a respiratory device, where the vent valve may selectively block fluid communication between components, such as the flow generator, the patient interface, and/or the vent. An expiratory flow model may be used to determine an expiratory characteristic such as an expiratory flow rate or pressure in the patient interface where an indicative measure may not be available. The expiratory flow model may receive inputs based on a measure of the patient's respiration, such as the tidal volume, peak inspiratory flow rate or length of inspiration. The expiratory characteristic may be used by a controller to control a pressure in the patient interface to provide respiratory therapy to a patient at or close to a target pressure.

  • Patent number: 11219337
    Abstract: A portable sink assembly for includes a cube that is positionable in a sleeper of a semi tractor be accessible to a driver. A sink is recessed into the cube to contain water and a faucet is removably coupled to the cube. The faucet is directed into the sink to direct the water into the sink. A pump is positioned in the cube, the pump is fluidly coupled between a water source and the faucet for pumping the water to the faucet. A valve is coupled to the pump and the valve is actuatable between a minimum flow rate and a maximum flow rate. In this way the valve adjusts the volume of water delivered to the pump between a minimum amount and a maximum amount thereby facilitating the flow rate of the faucet to be adjusted.

  • Patent number: 10775040
    Abstract: An annular superheater element for superheating steam within firetubes of firetube boilers comprising concentric inner and outer tubes and a specially designed return end cap. Saturated steam introduced into the outer tube of said superheater element is superheated while traveling towards the burner end of the tube, is directed into the inner tube by means of the return end cap, and travels away from the burner side of the element where it is exhausted for use as superheated steam. While traversing the inner tube, the superheated steam gives off heat energy through the wall of the inner tube to the steam traveling in the outer tube towards the burner end of the tube, conserving energy. The improved superheater element produces superheated steam more efficiently, with less fuel, and steam capable of doing more work, than conventional superheater elements and can be used to retrofit existing firetube type boilers.
