  • Publication number: 20240136802
    Abstract: The invention may be embodied in other forms than those specifically disclosed herein without departing from itMulti-kW-class blue (400-495 nm) fiber-delivered lasers and module configurations. In embodiments, the lasers propagate laser beams having beam parameter products of <5 mm*mrad, which are used in materials processing, welding and pumping a Raman laser. In an embodiment the laser system is an integration of fiber-coupled modules, which are in turn made up of submodules. An embodiment has sub-modules having a plurality of lensed blue semiconductor gain chips with low reflectivity front facets. These are locked in wavelength with a wavelength spread of <1 nm by using volume Bragg gratings in an external cavity configuration. An embodiment has modules having of a plurality of submodules, which are combined through wavelength multiplexing with a bandwidth of <10 nm, followed by polarization beam combining. The output of each module is fiber-coupled into a low NA fiber.

  • Publication number: 20240110714
    Abstract: A ventilator having a functionality to defrost a ventilator core includes a two sets of ports, one set used for coupling of the ventilator with ducting and other used for redirecting indoor air flowing along a first flowpath through the recovery core to a second flow path normally used for outdoor air. A re-circulator is removably fixed between an inlet for outdoor air and an outlet for indoor air of the set of ports not coupled to the ducting. A pair of dampers, operated by a single motor, allow the ventilator to be operated in a mode that enables redirection of the indoor air from the first flowpath to the second flowpath, simultaneously blocking inflow of the outdoor air.

  • Publication number: 20210389924
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for extracting and redacting sensitive information from audio. A call having audio and being associated with a customer can be received at a computing device, and the call can be routed to an agent device. During the call, the computing device can detect an impending disclosure of sensitive personal information of the customer. The computing device can generate, during the call, sensitive data that can correspond to the sensitive personal information. The sensitive data can be generated based on sensitive audio of the call. The computing device can provide modified audio to the agent device in real-time or non-real-time. The modified audio can include nonsensitive audio of the call and can omit the sensitive audio. The sensitive data can be provided to a call handling application that is in communication with the computing device and with the agent device.
