  • Publication number: 20240383746
    Abstract: A system and method for converting a common hydrogen-based input fluid into an output fluid comprising an overabundance of hydrogen H1 atoms is disclosed. This conversion occurs in the absence of elevated temperatures or pressures, so that the resulting output fluid is suitable for shipping or storage at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP). A vaporizer system and method for transforming the output fluid into H2 gas is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 12104878
    Abstract: A stock assembly for a firearm including an integrally molded accessory attachment housing and a method of forming the accessory attachment housing. The integrally molded accessory attachment housing is formed by molding a material in the form of a stock assembly around the accessory attachment housing. A stock slot is formed through the material around the accessory attachment housing and an opening corresponding to the position of the stock slot is defined through the accessory attachment housing. The stock assembly may additionally or alternatively include a cheek riser that has an adjustable cheek rest. The cheek rest may be configured to be adjustable in at least four different directions including rotation.

  • Publication number: 20240176785
    Abstract: A computerized system and method may quantify a level or degree of monotony associated with the execution of repetitive tasks involving a plurality of computing devices—and may accordingly determine or choose a task schedule for which the smallest degree of monotony is calculated. A computerized system comprising one or more processors, a communication interface to communicate via a communication network with remote computing devices, and a memory including data items describing tasks involving the remote computing devices, may be used for selecting remote computers based on the stored data items; calculate monotony indices for the selected computing devices based on, e.g., a plurality of tasks and corresponding time windows (in which, e.g., the tasks were performed or executed); automatically documenting the calculated monotony indices in a database; and transmitting instructions to automatically execute computer operations on a remote computer based on calculated monotony indices.

  • Patent number: 11900064
    Abstract: A question and answer (Q&A) system is enhanced to support natural language queries into any document format regardless of where the underlying documents are stored. The Q&A system may be implemented “as-a-service,” e.g., a network-accessible information retrieval platform. Preferably, the techniques herein enable a user to quickly and reliably locate a document, page, chart, or data point that he or she is looking for across many different datasets. This provides for a unified view of all of the user's (or, more generally, an enterprise's) information assets (such as Adobe® PDFs, Microsoft® Word documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, Google Docs, scanned materials, etc.), and to be able to deeply search all of these sources for the right document, page, sheet, chart, or even answer to a question.

  • Patent number: 11448206
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, a computer program product, and a system for removing gas locking in a pump. The method includes setting the pump into a gas interference condition based on a variable speed drive driving a pump at a first frequency and a choke valve set at a first restriction value and adjusting the variable speed drive to a second frequency and the choke valve to a second restriction value such that the adjustment produces a backpressure that lets free gas get dissolved in a fluid phase and keeps fluids drawn by the pump at a single-phase flow based on pressure-volume-temperature characteristics of the fluids.

  • Patent number: 9861470
    Abstract: An IOL inserter for delivering an intraocular lens (IOL) into the eye of a subject, has a handpiece with a generally tubular barrel, a nosepiece coupled to the distal end of the handpiece; and a plunger having a spiral groove. The plunger translates longitudinally within the barrel and passes through a piston with an O-ring that frictionally engages an inner surface of the barrel. The spiral groove interacts with a pin or tooth in the bore of the piston. The plunger may have a drive cap and a cover fixed on the proximal end of the drive cap. The distal end of the plunger may engage having an enlarged head that receives the distal end of the plunger. The distal end of the pushrod may have a bifurcated tip capable of contacting and urging an IOL from the inserter during the implant procedure.

  • Patent number: 9030215
    Abstract: A method for detecting presence of nucleic acid amplification in a test droplet. A set of detection electrodes are provided in contact with a fluidic channel. The test droplet is provided in vicinity of the detection electrodes through the fluidic channel. An alternate current (AC) power at a first frequency is applied across the set of detection electrodes. A first measurement value that reflects electrical impedance of the test droplet at the first frequency is obtained. This value is compared with a corresponding reference value, wherein the corresponding reference value is obtained by measuring a reference droplet containing known amplified nucleic acid or known unamplified nucleic acid at the first frequency. The presence of amplified nucleic acid in the test droplet is thus determined based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 9017400
    Abstract: A system for easily transferring an intraocular lens (IOL) from a lens case to an inserter, and then into a patient's eye. The lens case has a transfer mechanism therein which retains the IOL until engagement with the inserter. The transfer mechanism may include jaws having a closed configuration for retaining the IOL and an open configuration for releasing the IOL. Engagement of the inserter with the lens case automatically opens the jaws and transfers the IOL to the inserter. The IOL is transferred into a load chamber of a nosepiece rotatably coupled to a handpiece. After transfer of the IOL, the nosepiece is rotated from a load position to a delivery position. The IOL may have an optic and a haptic coupled to the optic, and the lens case may be capable of configuring the haptic as desired to facilitate its transfer into an inserter and/or into the eye. For instance, the lens case may fold one or both of the haptics over the optic.

  • Patent number: 8894370
    Abstract: A retention system retains a turbine blade dovetail in a retention ring dovetail slot. The retention system includes a retention opening formed in the blade dovetail. A through hole is formed in the retention ring, wherein the through hole is positioned such that it is aligned with the retention opening when the dovetail is assembled in the dovetail slot. A connector is disposed in the through hole and engages the retention opening. In this manner, undesirable relative movement of parts can be reduced or eliminated, thereby preventing excessive wear.
