Patent number: 11975304Abstract: A system for solventless calibration of volatile or semi-volatile compounds and methods thereof. The system includes a fluid path having a first end configured to be operably coupled to a fluid source and a second end configured to be operably coupled to the analytical instrument. A solid sorbent is disposed along the fluid path and is configured to absorb an analyte. The flow of fluid along the fluid path from the first end to the second end causes absorbed analyte to be desorbed from the solid sorbent at a desired concentration to the instrument.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: H.

Patent number: 11920033Abstract: A thermoset non-isocyanate polyurethane foam (NIPU) composition includes a reaction product of a polycyclic carbonate, a polyamine; and a foaming ingredient including a carbonate-based chemical foaming agent. The reaction product is configured to form a urethane bond. The polycyclic carbonate and the polyamine can be bio-derived. A process for making the NIPU foam includes the steps of: (a) selecting a polycyclic carbonate and a polyamine; (b) mixing the polycyclic carbonate and the polyamine to form a reactant product including a partially cured gel matrix; (c) adding a foaming ingredient comprising a blowing agent including a carbonate; (d) curing the mixture to form the NIPU foam. Optionally, a first catalyst can be added to step (b); and additional foaming ingredients selected from the group consisting of an accelerant, a surfactant, and a combination thereof can be added prior to step (d).Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: 62911255Inventors: Mark Ashton Zeller, Patrick Lewis Carter

Publication number: 20230052561Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine readable instructions that may cause the processor to access data about an environment of an agent, identify an actor in the environment, and access candidate models, in which each of the candidate models may predict a certain action of the identified actor. The instructions may also cause the processor to apply a selected candidate model of the accessed candidate models on the accessed data to determine a predicted action of the identified actor and may implement a recursive reinforcement learning model using the predicted action of the identified actor to determine an action that the agent is to perform. The instructions may further cause the processor to cause the agent to perform the determined action.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Richard Patrick LEWIS
