  • Patent number: 11971169
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclose a glow plug for a solid oxide fuel cell system. The glow plug includes a housing having a first end portion and a second end portion. The glow plug includes a heating element longitudinally disposed in the housing, extending from the second end portion of the housing towards the first end portion and extending outwardly from the housing for igniting fuel. Further, the glow plug includes a pair of coiled wires electrically connected to the heating element. Further, the glow plug includes a potting compound disposed within the second end portion of the housing for securing electrical coupling of the pair of coiled wires with the heating element. Furthermore, the glow plug includes a sealing element configured to form an air-tight connection between the housing and the heating element. The sealing element is positioned on top of the potting compound.

  • Patent number: 11947648
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for authenticating a user with an electronic device is disclosed. The method incudes receiving digital sensor data from a motion sensor over a signal acquisition time period; deleting a beginning portion of the digital sensor data prior to the signal acquisition time period; suppressing signal components in the data associated with voluntary movement of the user; signal processing the suppressed digital sensor data to extract signal features representing neuro muscular tone of the user; tabulating the extracted signal features over periods of time into a feature vector table; executing a predictive model with the feature vector table; generating a numerical degree of matching level based on the feature vector table and the user parameter set; and making a determination to either authorize the user or not based on the numerical degree of matching level. The predictive model is trained by a user parameter set.

    Abstract: A method and bed system for controlling a mattress climate-control system based on a thermal event. The bed system includes a mattress, a mattress climate-control system, a mechanical thermal detector, and a controller. The mattress climate-control system controls a climate at the mattress. The mechanical thermal detector is positioned at the mattress. A condition of the mechanical thermal detector changes in response to a thermal event at the mattress. The controller is connected to the mattress climate-control system. The controller perform operations including detecting the condition of the mechanical thermal detector and operating the mattress climate-control system based on the condition of the mechanical thermal detector.

  • Publication number: 20220374449
    Abstract: The solution enables a data block composed of unstructured data assets (e.g., a Spark Dataframe) in a compute and analytics environment (e.g., Databricks) to be sent to a Training Data Platform (e.g., Labelbox, Inc.) for labeling. Then, the annotated structured dataset can be loaded back as a structured data asset (e.g., a Spark Dataframe) in the compute and analytics environment (e.g., Databricks). The solution provides an interface between a compute and analytics environment like Databricks and a Training Data Platform like Labelbox. The solution provides a Python library which facilitates data flow between the compute and analytics environment (e.g. Databricks) and the Training Data Platform (e.g., Labelbox). The library provides methods that help process the JSON annotations coming back from the training data platform.

  • Patent number: 11068778
    Abstract: A method includes training an artificial neural network with training data that comprises a sets of design parameter values for design parameters for circuit traces in a high speed communication link, determining an output formula that relates a sets of design parameters to a corresponding output parameter for the circuit traces in response to training the artificial neural network, running the output formula using a second set of design parameter values to obtain a corresponding set of output parameters for the circuit traces, determining that the corresponding set of output parameters differ from a set of modeled output parameters by less than a predefined percentage, and fabricating a circuit trace in a printed circuit board based upon the output formula in response to determining that the corresponding set of output parameters differ from the set of modeled output parameters by less than the predefined percentage.

  • Patent number: 10299550
    Abstract: An elastically modifiable wallet is an apparatus that is able to hold and organize a user's financial or personal items in accordance to how frequently the user accesses each financial or personal item. The apparatus includes a tubular band, a tubular strap, a tubular strip, a finger loop, a first stitch, and a second stitch. The tubular band, the tubular strap, the tubular strip, and the finger loop are each made of elastic fabric. The tubular band is used to hold weekly/occasionally used items, such as business cards. The tubular strap is used to hold daily used items, such as a regular credit card. The tubular strip is used to hold frequently used items, such as loose cash. The finger loop allows a user to easily grasp and disengage the tubular strip. The first stitch and the second stitch are used to hold these pieces of elastic fabric together.
