  • Publication number: 20250149721
    Abstract: A battery pack includes at least one electrochemical cell, a main housing, at least one projection, and a lock member. The main housing defines a longitudinal axis extending between front and rear surfaces, a transverse axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and extending between pair of lateral surfaces, a height axis extending between upper and lower surfaces and orthogonal to each of the longitudinal axis and the transverse axis, and a longitudinal plane of symmetry extending between the front surface and the rear surface and disposed parallel to each of the longitudinal axis and the height axis. The at least one projection is asymmetrically positioned with respect to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the main housing. The lock member defines a lock slot therein extending along the transverse axis, such that the lock slot is asymmetrically positioned with respect to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the main housing.

  • Publication number: 20250128814
    Abstract: A cargo restraint assembly for a cargo handling system is provided. The cargo restraint assembly includes a base assembly. The base assembly includes a plunger, a compression spring, and an attenuation lock. Responsive to being activated, the plunger is configured to extend in a first direction into an opening within a modular container thereby restraining the modular container in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. The compression spring provides a restraint to keep the plunger locked in an outwardly extended state in an activated state or locked in an inwardly retracted state in a deactivated state. The attenuation lock is configured to block the plunger from attenuating from the activated state unless acted upon by an actuation/de-actuation lever.

  • Patent number: 12268847
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, an energy storage member, a carrier, a medicament container, and a delivery control mechanism. The housing defines a gas chamber configured to receive pressurized gas from the energy storage member to pressurize the gas chamber. The carrier has a proximal surface that defines a portion of the gas chamber. The medicament container is coupled to the carrier and has a distal end portion coupled to a delivery member. The medicament container contains at least 5 mL of medicament and includes an elastomeric member that seals the medicament within the medicament container. The delivery control mechanism is coupled to a proximal end portion of the medicament container and includes a flow restriction member for regulating a pressure supplied by the gas chamber and entering into the medicament container that acts on the elastomeric member.

  • Publication number: 20250092466
    Abstract: A method to develop one or more morphometric classifiers to identify a tumor mutation burden (TMB). The method provides a non-invasive method of characterizing TMB that is responsive to a tumor in its early stages of development and irrespective of the tumor size. The method allows targeting cancer therapy to the specific characteristics of the cancer that the patient may have, allowing more efficient cancer management with far fewer side effects.

  • Publication number: 20240037803
    Abstract: Methods and systems for compressing shape data for a set of electronic designs include inputting a set of shape data, where the shape data comprises mask designs. A convolutional autoencoder encodes the set of shape data, where the encoding compresses the set of shape data to produce a set of encoded shape data. The convolutional autoencoder is tuned for increased accuracy of the set of encoded shape data based on design rules for the set of electronic designs. The convolutional autoencoder comprises a set of parameters comprising weights, and the convolutional autoencoder has been trained to retain important information needed, based on the design rules for the set of electronic designs.
