  • Publication number: 20240395392
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for an artificial intelligence (AI) based recommendation system associated with treatment of a patient. The AI based recommendation system can be configured to receive three-dimensional (3D) image data that is associated with a patient, where the 3D image data includes volumetric data; and detect one or more anatomical treatment sites associated with the patient. The 3D image data may further be annotated with one or more of the detected anatomical treatment sites. By leveraging a foundation model with detailed context on flap harvesting, the AI based recommendation system may evaluate the annotated 3D image data, identify viable donor sites for flap harvesting, and provide recommendations for one or more viable donor sites for flap harvesting based on a treatment criteria for treatment of the patient. The recommendation may be evaluated and further refined by additional user based interaction with the AI based system.

  • Publication number: 20240396641
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) validator instrument is provided for testing functionality of a test article. The instrument includes an RF transmitter, a connection apparatus, an RF receiver, a direct current (DC) bias detector, and an RF verifier. The transmitter produces an emission signal supplied to an in-port and an out-port. The apparatus connects the in-port and the out-port to separate terminals of the article. The receiver receives said emission signal and producing a detection signal. The DC bias detector receives the emission signal through the out-port to a first voltage divider as a first bias signal, through the in-port to a second voltage divider as a second bias signal, and combining the first and second bias signals as a combination bias signal. The verifier compares the detection and combination bias signals to determine whether the article satisfies functionality.

  • Publication number: 20240364417
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, for enhanced clock frequency control. In some implementations, a clock system tracks time using a clock signal having a clock frequency. An interface receives a time reference from a reference clock, and a feedback loop synchronizes the clock system with the reference clock. The feedback loop includes a feedback loop controller configured to determine a clock frequency adjustment for the clock system based on an offset between the time reference and a time indicated by the clock system. The feedback loop also includes a smoothing filter configured to alter the clock frequency adjustment determined using the feedback loop controller. The feedback loop updates the clock frequency of the clock system based on the altered clock frequency adjustment.

  • Patent number: 12130431
    Abstract: A head up display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a head up display module having a picture generation unit emitting a light field. A polarizing device is rotatable between at least a first rotational position and a second rotational position. The polarizing device receives the light field from the picture generation unit and emits the light field regardless of whether the polarizing device is in the first rotational position or the second rotational position. More of the light is emitted by the polarizer in a P-polarization state in the second rotational position than in the first rotational position. A windshield reflects the light field from the polarizing device such that the reflected light field is visible to a human driver of the motor vehicle as a virtual image.

  • Patent number: 12124683
    Abstract: Content creation techniques are described that leverage content analytics to provide insight and guidance as part of content creation. To do so, content features are extracted by a content analytics system from a plurality of content and used by the content analytics system as a basis to generate a content dataset. Event data is also collected by the content analytics system from an event data source. Event data describes user interaction with respective items of content, including subsequent activities in both online and physical environments. The event data is then used to generate an event dataset. An analytics user interface is then generated by the content analytics system using the content dataset and the event dataset and is usable to guide subsequent content creation and editing.

    Abstract: A system for creating folds in textiles. The system includes a tooling plate, a loading assembly, a fold mechanism, a wrangler mechanism, and a door mechanism. The loading assembly enable a user to load a textile into the system. The fold mechanism creates folds in the textile. The wrangler mechanism compacts a textile after folds have been created in it to retain and tighten the folds. The door mechanism opens and closes an opening in the tooling plate through which textiles can be transferred away from the wrangler mechanism. Preferably, the system may also include a robot arm equipped to transfer textiles about the system and a tying machine for applying bindings to textiles.

  • Patent number: 12104850
    Abstract: A process for recovering at least one fluid (e.g. xenon gas and/or krypton gas, etc.) from a feed gas can include utilization of a compression system, primary heat exchanger unit, a pre-purification unit (PPU), and other units to separate and recover at least one desired fluid. In some embodiments, fluid flows output from a first heat exchanger or separation system of the plant can be split so that a portion of a stream is output for downstream processing to purify xenon (Xe) and/or krypton (Kr) product flow(s) while another portion of the stream is recycled to a compression system or the PPU to undergo further purification and heat exchange so that the product output for downstream processing has a higher concentration of Xe or Kr. Some embodiments can be configured to provide an improved recovery of Xe and/or Kr as well as an improvement in operational efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20240311705
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include identifying and notifying requestors that may be candidates for a particular autonomous vehicle in order to find those candidates that may be willing or able to relax their travel constraints to match the autonomous vehicle. A request flow may involve surfacing the potential option of matching to an autonomous vehicle before setting a specific destination. For example, the request flow may involve determining that an autonomous vehicle is sufficiently near an in-session potential requestor. Before the potential requestor enters a specific destination, the request flow may present the possibility of the potential requestor being matched with the autonomous vehicle. In some examples, the request flow may then provide available drop-off locations that are compatible with the autonomous vehicle for selection by the potential requestor. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240302655
    Abstract: A head up display arrangement presents a virtual image to a human driver of a motor vehicle. The arrangement includes a picture generation unit emitting a light field such that the light field follows an optical path, is reflected by a windshield of the motor vehicle, and is visible to the human driver as the virtual image. A glare trap lens is positioned in the optical path between the picture generation unit and the windshield and passes the light field. The glare trap lens improves an optical characteristic of the virtual image as seen by the human driver. The glare trap lens includes an outer surface having an elongate rib thereon. The rib is positioned to block stray light that has been reflected off of the outer surface of the glare trap lens.
