  • Publication number: 20240381053
    Abstract: An ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging method comprises determining, by a first device, that the first device is within proximity of a second device. Responsive to the determination, the first device negotiates a value to use as a UWB session key for securing UWB communications with the second device. The negotiation occurs via a communication protocol different from a UWB communication protocol. The first device controls a UWB subsystem therein to encrypt information communicated via the UWB subsystem based on the negotiated value of the UWB session key instead of a default value for the UWB session key that is specified in the UWB communication protocol. The information facilitates determining the distance between the first device and the second device.

  • Publication number: 20240296755
    Abstract: Anatomically accurate brain phantoms are physical models of brains which mimic the viscoelastic properties of brain tissues. The material used to represent different layers of the brain may be a composition of a hydrogel solution and a cross-linking agent, with ratios calculated and determined to accurately reflect the brain's mechanical properties, most notably, the viscoelasticity. Embedded sensors (e.g., accelerometers) measure impact forces and shear stresses/strains caused by a concussion-related experimental impact to the phantom. Uses of the hydrogel brain phantom include biomedical research and as a planning tool for medical treatments. A specific subject's brain may be replicated for designing personalized treatment.

  • Patent number: 12077225
    Abstract: Disclosed are a hydraulic system, a control method and a working machine. The hydraulic system includes an oil tank, a working pump, a control cylinder controlling a displacement changing mechanism, a working oil line communicating with an output main path of the working pump, a load-sensing system including a load-sensing circuit outputting hydraulic pressure based on load, a load-sensing valve and a switching-control valve switchable between a first-valve-position and a second-valve-position. When differential pressure between the first and second control ports is greater than a first threshold, the output main path communicates with an input port of the control cylinder; when it is less than the first threshold, the input port communicates with an oil return port of the oil tank. Based on this, operators can switch the hydraulic system between the fixed-displacement mode and the fixed/variable-displacement mode, thereby achieving a better balance between energy conservation and performance.
