Publication number: 20240100332Abstract: A respiration promoting apparatus and a method for promoting respiration for coordinately stimulating two Phrenic nerves of a patient for activating a diaphragm of the patient comprising a first coil unit (91), a second coil unit (92) and a bracket structure (93). The first coil unit (91) has a first forward face (911) configured to be positioned at the patient to stimulate a first Phrenic nerve of the two Phrenic nerves (62) of the patient. The second coil unit (92) has a second forward face (921) configured to be positioned at the patient to stimulate a second Phrenic nerve. The bracket structure (93) is coupled to the first coil unit (91) and the second coil unit (92) and is adjustable such that positions and orientations of the first coil unit (91) and of the second coil unit (92) are adapted. The bracket structure (93) has a third forward face (918, 928, 932) configured to be positioned at the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2020Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Pascal André SCHNELL, Thomas DEGEN, Dirk FENGELS, Ronja MÜLLER-BRUHN

Patent number: 11932042Abstract: A machine produces an adhesively bonded book block. The machine has a clamp chain equipped with spaced apart binder clamps, which are connected to a clamp opening system. The clamp opening system has a movable internal aid for a binder clamp and an external aid, which are operably connected together. The aids open clamping jaws of the binder clamp. At a loading location for the book block, the external aid is operated by a drive to execute pressing operation on the movable internal aid. The moveable internal aid achieves an opening of the clamping jaws depending on a thickness of the book block. A recoil force is established with the drive-related pressing operation, which is converted as a pressing force onto the book block in a running cycle.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: MUELLER MARTINI HOLDING AGInventors: Peter Braschoss, Pascal Mueller

Publication number: 20240082486Abstract: A drug delivery device (1), comprising a delivery unit (3) including a drug container (6) comprising a barrel portion (6a) and a plunger (12) slidably mounted within the barrel portion and sealing the drug (78) within the container at one end of the barrel portion, and a drive unit (4) comprising a pneumatic flow system (74) and a pneumatic pumping system configured to pump air via the pneumatic flow system (74) to a space behind the plunger to generate a gas pressure to advance the plunger in the container during drug delivery. The drug delivery device comprises a sealing adaptor (9) mounted on an end of the drug container facing an outer side of the plunger, the sealing adaptor (9) comprising a sealing plug (23) inserted inside an end of the barrel portion, the sealing plug (23) comprising an orifice (26) configured for pluggable sealing connection to a gas channel connector (40) of the pneumatic flow system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: PASCAL LAGORGETTE, FABIAN BÜRLI, MATTHIAS MÜLLER, PEER KOSTAL

Patent number: 10325035Abstract: Certain embodiments include a computer-implemented method that includes receiving image data corresponding to a three-dimensional (3D) parametric model, receiving a selection of a scope of the 3D model, receiving a selection of one or more base lines for the scope, determining a slip type for the scope, calculating planes of the scope, calculating candidate dimension lines, selecting a dimension line of the candidate dimension lines based on dimension line placement rules, and displaying the selected dimension line adjacent to the scope that correspond to the selected one or more base lines. The calculated planes of the scope can be based on the one or more base lines and the slip type. The calculated candidate lines can be based on the calculated planes and dimension line placement guidelines.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS RESEARCH INSTITUTE (ESRI)Inventors: Tom Kelly, Pascal Mueller

Patent number: 10127720Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method inserting a new face in a polygonal mesh comprising receiving an input corresponding to: a polygonal mesh having a plurality of faces, a selection of a face (fm) of the plurality of faces, a direction vector (d), a modified target plane (pm), and a threshold angle ?. For each edge (e) of the selected face fm, the method further includes determining each adjacent face (fadj) to selected face fm, and inserting a new face at edge e if no adjacent face exists or if fadj is substantially parallel to pm and within threshold ?. In some embodiments, the new face has a normal orthogonal to e and d.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Markus Lipp, Pascal Mueller

Patent number: 9785728Abstract: For generating a 3D geometric model (44) and/or a definition of the 3D geometric model from a single digital image of a building facade (4), a facade structure is detected from the digital image by dividing the facade (4) along horizontal lines into horizontal layers representative of floors (41), and by dividing the horizontal layers along vertical lines into tiles (42). The tiles (42) are further subdivided into a hierarchy of rectangular image regions (43). 3D architectural objects (45) corresponding to the image regions (43) are determined in an architectural element library. The 3D geometric model (44) or the definition of the 3D geometric model is generated based on the facade structure, the hierarchy and the 3D architectural objects (45). The library-based generation of the 3D geometric model makes it possible to enhance simple textured building models constructed from aerial images and/or ground-based photographs.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2015Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.Inventors: Pascal Müller, Gang Zeng, Luc Van Gool
