  • Patent number: 12145636
    Abstract: A method, device, and system for detecting a current leak in a traction power rail. Magnetic or electrical properties of the rail are measured. The measurements are performed using a rail instrument that senses the properties around the rail at various times while the instrument is being moved down the rail, such as using a cart or train. The rail instrument may be a flux concentrator or open Rogowski coil. The locations of the rail, about which the readings are taken by the rail instrument, may be determined and correlated with the measurements themselves. The method may comprise measuring the magnetic field of the rail along a length of the rail, and identifying a leak based on differences between the magnetic field measurements. The system may comprise a cart comprising the rail instrument and a location instrument.

  • Publication number: 20240321086
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for on-demand traffic resource allocation. A system determines, for a traffic resource allocation request for a vehicle, a tracking capability for the vehicle. The tracking capability can be one of multiple different tracking capabilities, and tracking capability enables a tracking of a vehicle by a tracking method that is unique to the tracking capability and different from each other tracking capability. The system generates, for the vehicle, a tracking token that includes data that describes the tracking capability determined for the vehicle and that enables the traffic resource allocation system to track the vehicle using the tracking token and according to the tracking capability. The system then enables tracking of the vehicle according to the tracking capability described by the data in the tracking token.

  • Publication number: 20240299581
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of gene therapy for the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss. In particular, the invention discloses a composition comprising a 3rd generation lentiviral vector pseudotyped with a viral envelope glycoprotein capable of binding to a receptor expressed in a cell of the inner ear for use in the treatment or prevention of sensorineural hearing loss, wherein said composition has a viral titer of at least 107 TU/mL and is administered to the inner ear of a subject suffering from or in danger to undergo sensorineural hearing loss. The viral envelope glycoprotein is capable of binding to a receptor selected from the group consisting of the LDL-receptor and LDL-R family members, the SLC1 A5-receptor, the Pit1/2-receptor and the PIRYV-G-receptor. Preferably, the viral glycoprotein is MARAV-G, COCV-G, VSV-G, VSV-G ts or PIRYV-G, most preferably, MARAV-G. The lentiviral vector further comprises a cargo sequence comprising, e.g.

  • Patent number: 12059073
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a crossbar to which a plurality of accessories using different mechanical interfaces may be attached and detached. The crossbar is instrumented and provides information, such as a weight change due to addition to, or removal of, items from an accessory on the crossbar. An extensible bracket attaches the crossbar to a supporting structure, decreasing mechanical strain on the crossbar due to minor misalignment of the supporting structure. Accessories such as wire hooks, shelves, bins, and so forth may be supported by the crossbar. A tether device, locking cam device, or clip device may be used to prevent lateral movement of components such as the accessories or the entire crossbar relative to its supporting structure. A baffle may be affixed to the crossbar to constrain airflow for operation in a temperature-controlled case.

  • Publication number: 20240210914
    Abstract: Aspects of methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for performing multi-material selection optimization (MMSO) to provide topologically and geometrically optimized multi-component structures (MCSs) across a plurality of design inputs and constraints are proposed. In some embodiments, a 3-D print model of an object based on load case criteria is obtained. A portion of the 3-D print model is determined that can be replaced with a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) part model such that the load case criteria remain satisfied. The portion or the 3-D print model can then be replaced with the COTS part model to determine the MCS model. In various embodiments, a mesh representation of the model can be generated, and plurality of optimization techniques can be used to determine the MCS model.
