  • Publication number: 20240374832
    Abstract: A therapeutic agent delivery device includes a disposable portion and a reusable portion that detachably carries the disposable portion. The reusable portion includes a drive mechanism having a guide, a rotary actuator, and a follower drivably coupled to the rotary actuator and movably coupled to the guide. The rotary actuator is actuatable to rotatably drive the follower, and the follower thereby follows the guide and translates the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism thereby translates a syringe assembly of the disposable portion from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration.

  • Patent number: 12138142
    Abstract: A moisture management apparatus monitors an area for moisture events and wirelessly transmits moisture-related information to one or more notification devices. An embodiment of the moisture management apparatus includes a substrate and one or more sensors supported by the substrate. The sensor(s) emit wireless signals indicative of the moisture-related information. A sensor event communication system forwards the sensor signals to another device, such as a notification device. The sensor event communication system may monitor other types of patient events. Portions of the moisture management apparatus and/or the moisture event communication system may be embodied in a patient support apparatus, such as a bed.

  • Publication number: 20240361939
    Abstract: Systems and methods for multiple device consumption of shared namespaces of ephemeral storage devices by a consumer of a virtual storage system are provided. In an example, multiple namespaces of respective ephemeral storage devices are shared among multiple of consumers of a virtual storage system by creating multiple partitions within each of the namespaces for use by respective consumers of the multiple consumers. Corresponding partitions of respective shared namespace may then be treated as a stripe set to facilitate multiple device consumption for a subsystem (e.g., operation log journaling) of the virtual storage system by striping data associated with input/output (I/O) requests of a consumer (e.g., a journaling driver) across one or more stripe units of one or more stripes within the stripe set.

  • Publication number: 20240362056
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sharing a namespace of an ephemeral storage device by multiple consumers are provided. In an example, an NVMe driver of a virtual storage system deployed within a compute instance of a cloud environment facilitates sharing of the namespace by exposing an API through which the multiple consumers access an ephemeral storage device associated with the compute instance. During initialization processing performed by each consumer, for example, during boot processing of the virtual storage system, the consumers may share the namespace by reserving for their own use respective partitions within the namespace via the API and thereafter restrict their usage of the namespace to their respective partitions, thereby retaining the functionality provided by the multiple consumers when the host on which the compute instance is deployed has fewer ephemeral storage devices than consumers that rely on the availability of vNVRAM backed by ephemeral storage.

  • Patent number: 12130053
    Abstract: A vent attachment facilitates attaching a coaxial air intake and exhaust vent of a tankless water heater to a Category I vent, such as B-vent. The vent attachment comprises a first end with a coaxial connector comprising a central exhaust pathway and a circumferential air intake pathway. The vent attachment also comprises a second end with a tubular exhaust vent connector in fluid communication with the central exhaust pathway. The vent attachment further comprises a frame that encloses the central exhaust pathway and comprises a mesh configured to provide fluid communication through the frame with the air intake pathway. Additionally, operation of the tankless water heater is modified to ensure that the exhaust generated is suitable for venting through a Category I vent. The tankless water heater maintains a high fuel consumption rate such that the temperature of hot water produced increases throughout each of a plurality of burner stages.

  • Patent number: 12120434
    Abstract: A sky sensor device for measuring direct normal illuminance (DNE) value is described. One method controls a camera sensor to capture a series of exposure-bracketed images having a first dynamic range and generate an image from the series of exposure-bracketed images, the image having a second dynamic range higher than the first dynamic range. The method controls an illuminance sensor to measure a global illuminance value. The method determines a global horizontal diffuse value based on at least the image. The method determines a direct normal illuminance (DNE) value using the global illuminance value and the global horizontal diffuse value.

  • Patent number: 12105538
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a pressure regulator assembly for a closed fluid loop of a CDU. The pressure regulator assembly has a cylinder having an internal volume, and first and second hollow pistons slidably connected to the cylinder to split the internal volume into a first volume portion having cooling fluid, a second volume portion having driver fluid, and a third volume portion having compressible matter. The first volume portion is fluidically connected to the closed fluid loop. The first hollow piston is reciprocated by the compressible matter to maintain operating pressure of the cooling fluid in the closed fluid loop. The second hollow piston is driven by the driver fluid in response to predefined pressure drop of the cooling fluid during predefined time period, to inject additional cooling fluid from the first volume portion into the closed fluid loop to restore pressure level of cooling fluid to operating pressure.

  • Publication number: 20240314212
    Abstract: A wireless communication system authorizes a User Equipment (UE) to use a wireless network slice. The wireless communication system transfers a user application for the wireless network slice to the UE. The wireless communication system generates a container instruction for the user application and transfers the container instruction to the UE. The UE executes the user application in an operating system container per the container instruction. The UE generates user application data in response to the execution of the user application. The UE transfers the user application data to the authorized wireless network slice. The wireless communication system receives the user application data from the UE into the authorized wireless network slice.
