  • Patent number: 11029787
    Abstract: Systems and methods associated for providing haptic feedback are provided. For instance, data indicative of a feedback scheme associated with an input mechanism can be accessed. The feedback scheme includes one or more feedback points associated with a position of a moveable portion of the input mechanism. The input mechanism is configured to change positions responsive to an actuation of the input mechanism by a user. One or more positions of the moveable portion of the input mechanism can be determined as the input mechanism is actuated by the user. Operation of one or more feedback motors can be controlled to provide feedback to the user in accordance with the feedback scheme based at least in part on the determined one or more positions of the input mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10729655
    Abstract: The present invention relates to rapidly disintegrating oral dosage forms, more particularly to rapidly disintegrating tablets containing (1S,2S,3R,5S)-3-[7-{[1R,2S)-2-(3,4-difluorophenyl)cyclopropyl]amino}-5-(propylthio)-3H-[1,2,3]-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-3-yl]-5 5-(2-hydroxyethoxy)cyclopentane-1,2-diol and a disintegrating excipient. Blister packs suitable for use with the rapidly disintegrating oral dosage form are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10290091
    Abstract: A filament inspection system is disclosed that gathers empirical data on the physical and chemical properties of filament. The illustrative embodiments need only a single video camera and two mirrors to image all of the exterior surfaces of one or more filaments simultaneously. These images can be used to analyze the physical properties of the filament. Furthermore, the illustrative embodiments need only a simple electrical network to gather empirical data on the permittivity of each segment of filament, which gives insights into the chemical properties of the filament. For example, embodiments of the present invention are particularly well suited for inspecting fiber-reinforced thermoplastic filament, and variations in the number, dispersion, wetting, and length of the fibers are all observable in variations in permittivity.

  • Patent number: 10061457
    Abstract: Systems and methods associated with modular computing environments are provided. For instance, a modular computing environment can include a control entity including one or more processing devices. The modular computing environment can include one or more modular components directly or indirectly coupled to the control entity. The one or more modular components can be configured to receive a module specifying one or more instructions to be performed by an external device. The one or more modular components include one or more processing devices. Each modular component is configured to determine state data associated with the modular component based at least in part on the received module and to provide the state data to the control entity. The state data includes an identification signature of the received module and a configuration context of the modular component within the modular computing environment.
