  • Publication number: 20250327843
    Abstract: A signal generator includes a signal generator circuit configured to generate a two-tone radio frequency signal. First signal and second signals of the two-tone radio frequency signal are continuous wave signals spaced apart by a predetermined frequency. Each of the first signal and the second signal has a predetermined signal level. A measurement circuit is connected to an output path that starts at the signal generator circuit and ends at an output port of the signal generator. The measurement circuit is configured to measure a signal level of at least one intermodulation product of the two-tone radio frequency signal and to generate a measurement result. The signal generator further comprises a signal processing circuit configured to receive the measurement result from the measurement circuit and to control the signal generator circuit based on the measurement result such that a level of the at least one intermodulation product is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20230191393
    Abstract: A bilirubin assay system comprises a test card with a bilirubin test strip upon which a blood sample has been deposited, the bilirubin test strip comprising plasma from the blood sample. The bilirubin assay system further includes a mobile device with a camera, configured to capture an image of the test card that comprises the plasma on the bilirubin test strip and the set of calibration images. The system determines first and second calibration images, the first and the second calibration images having saturation values closest to a saturation value of the plasma on the bilirubin test strip. The system further determines a bilirubin level of the plasma on the bilirubin test strip based at least in part on interpolating a first color distance between the first calibration image and the plasma and a second color distance between the second calibration image and the plasma.

  • Patent number: 11065986
    Abstract: A longitudinal adjuster for a vehicle seat having at least one pair of rails. The at least one pair of rails may be formed from a first seat rail for connecting to a seat structure, and from a second seat rail for connecting to a vehicle structure. The seat rails of the pair of rails are displaceable in the longitudinal direction relative to each other and mutually engage around each other to form an inner channel. A securing profile, which is fastened to the first seat rail, is arranged in the inner channel. A rack which is fixed relative to the second seat rail is arranged in the inner channel. The securing profile and the rack are normally spaced apart from each other and enter into engagement with each other in a form-fitting manner in reaction to a predetermined action of force.

  • Patent number: 10919415
    Abstract: A longitudinal adjuster (10) for a vehicle seat (1) includes at least one rail pair (12), which is formed from a first seat rail (14), for connecting to a seat frame side part (6), and a second seat rail (16), for connecting to a vehicle structure, that slid relative to each other in a longitudinal direction (x) and engage each other and form an inner channel (18). A reinforcing profiled element (22; 122) is fastened to the second seat rail (16) and is arranged in the inner channel (18). The reinforcing profiled element (22; 122) has a connection section (24), which is led out of the inner channel (18) toward a rear and is connectable to a rear end surface (8) of a seat frame side part (6). The vehicle seat with the longitudinal adjuster, has a seat frame side part (6) connected to a first seat rail (4).
