Patent number: 12659893Abstract: A head-wearable sensor arrangement for obtaining a measurement of biosignal of a user is provided. The present disclosure also relates to a stimulus-providing wireless mobile device and a computing system. The head-wearable sensor arrangement may send time-stamped medical data comprising a representation of the measurement to the wireless mobile device time-synchronized with the arrangement. The wireless mobile device may send the time-stamped medical data to a computing system. The computing system may process the time-stamped medical data to determine an indicator of health, well-being or performance of the user. The processing may involve decomposing the measurement and using residuals of an autoregressive model or a robust aggregation method on the decomposed measurement.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2021Date of Patent: June 16, 2026Assignee: CUMULUS NEUROSCIENCE LTDInventors: Brian Murphy, Yannick Tremblay, Hugh Nolan, Matthew Shaw

Patent number: 11522115Abstract: Conventional readout of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) sets an upper bound on the output voltage to be the product of the bias current and the load impedance, IB×Zload, where Zload is limited to 50? in standard RF electronics. This limit is broken/exceeded by interfacing the 50? load and the SNSPD using an integrated superconducting transmission line taper. The taper is a transformer that effectively loads the SNSPD with high impedance without latching. The taper increases the amplitude of the detector output while preserving the fast rising edge. Using a taper with a starting width of 500 nm, a 3.6× higher pulse amplitude, 3.7× faster slew rate, and 25.1 ps smaller timing jitter was observed. The taper also makes the detector's output voltage sensitive to the number of photon-induced hotspots and enables photon number resolution.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignees: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Di Zhu, Marco Colangelo, Boris Korzh, Matthew Shaw, Karl K.

Patent number: 10143124Abstract: A locking mechanism for a link assembly of a work vehicle hitch has a locking plate mounted to an upper portion of the link assembly. A collar is positioned over the sleeve and is configured to slide relative a portion of the sleeve. The collar meshes with the sleeve so as to prevent rotational movement of the upper portion of the sleeve relative the collar when the collar is adjacent the upper portion, but the sleeve can rotate relative the collar when the collar is adjacent a middle portion of the sleeve. The locking mechanism has a handle mounted on the collar that is pivotable between a locked position where the handle is generally parallel with the sleeve in which the collar is prevented from sliding relative the sleeve and a released position generally perpendicular to the sleeve in which the collar is able to slide relative the sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2016Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: AGCO CorporationInventor: Matthew Shaw

Patent number: 10011151Abstract: A drawbar assembly for coupling a drawbar to a tongue of a towed implement includes a drawbar pin and a drawbar clevis having a bore configured to receive the drawbar pin. A locking plate is coupled to the drawbar clevis and movable between a pin-lock condition in which the locking plate is configured to obstruct at least a portion of the bore, and a pin-unlock condition. An ejector mechanism is configured to dislodge the drawbar pin from the bore. The ejector mechanism includes a handle utilized to operate the ejector mechanism and an ejector arm pivotably disposed in an ejector recess in the clevis. The ejector arm is movable from a home position in which the ejector arm does not interfere with the drawbar pin to an eject position in which the ejector arm forces the drawbar pin to be at least partially dislodged out of the bore.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2017Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: AGCO CorporationInventors: Derek Hruska, Matthew Shaw

Patent number: 9168800Abstract: A drawbar pin-retention assembly for use with a drawbar mechanism has a swinging drawbar, a support housing, and a device configured to prevent the swinging of the drawbar, the device having at least one drawbar pin. The pin-retention assembly includes a hanger bracket having a body portion and a pair of overhanging arms and a retaining bracket mounted on the hanger bracket with hinge tabs and pivotable about a pivot axis to move between a pin-retaining position and a pin-removal position. When the retaining bracket is pivoted to its pin-retaining position, a strap is positioned over the drawbar pin. Outward movement of the pin causes it to contact a forward portion of the strap forward of the pivot axis causing the retaining bracket to contact the hanger bracket thereby preventing pivoting of the retaining bracket in a first direction. The retaining bracket pivots by gravity to the pin-retention position.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2014Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: AGCO CorporationInventors: Evan Smith, Matthew Shaw
