  • Publication number: 20240358517
    Abstract: Anatomically shaped augments that are configured for implantation in a bone and which have one or more reliefs. A distal end of an outer portion of the augment can have a shape that is configured to generally conform to the shape of a metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction of an intramedullary canal of a bone. A proximal end of the outer portion can have a shape that is configured to generally conform to a shape of the metaphyseal region of the intramedullary canal. The reliefs can be configured to reduce a size of the augment and enhance the degree of freedom in the implant positioning and/or sizing of the augment. Further, such reliefs may contour the augment so as to prevent cortical bone contact and/or prevent contact with the implant device that may be associated with misalignment between an intramedullary canal and metaphyseal or diaphyseal regions of the bone.

  • Patent number: 12104961
    Abstract: A device providing a temperature control and/or monitoring and a method for use of the device are disclosed. In the disclosed method and device, a controller receives a minimum temperature value and a maximum temperature value of a temperature range to be measured. The controller correlates a known output signal range of a temperature sensor to the temperature range to be measured. Further, the controller receives an output signal from the temperature sensor, and generates a measured temperature value based on the output signal of the temperature sensor.

  • Publication number: 20240319574
    Abstract: Image contrast of a projected image on a screen can be adjusted by configuring a lens aperture element in a projector. A projector can be set in a theatre to emit projected light representing the projected image onto the screen. The projected image can be projected onto the screen in the theatre such that a light level of the projected light is at a target light level. The lens aperture element in a projection lens of the projector can be configured to change an image contrast of the projected image. In response to inserting the lens aperture element, a setting for a light emitter in the projector can be adjusted such that the light level of the projected light is at the target light level.

  • Patent number: 12093727
    Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for facilitating the customization of a process flow builder. A first graphical user interface (GUI) identifying one or more user selectable process flow types is provided. Responsive to a selection of a process flow type, information corresponding to the selected process flow type is obtained. The information includes one or more headers and, for at least a first header, identifies one or more elements that are user-selectable for addition to a layout representing a process flow. A second GUI is generated using the information. A user may access the second GUI to generate a layout representing a process flow of the process flow type.

  • Patent number: 12066231
    Abstract: A vapor compression system includes a compressor configured to circulate a refrigerant through a refrigerant loop, a sump configured to receive a mixture of lubricant and the refrigerant from the compressor, and a controller having a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first signal indicative of a temperature of the mixture within the sump, receive a second signal indicative of a pressure of the mixture within the sump, determine a relative amount of the refrigerant in the mixture based on the first signal and the second signal, and output a control signal in response to the relative amount of the refrigerant in the mixture exceeding a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20240257480
    Abstract: Examples of wearable systems and methods can use multiple inputs (e.g., gesture, head pose, eye gaze, voice, totem, and/or environmental factors (e.g., location)) to determine a command that should be executed and objects in the three-dimensional (3D) environment that should be operated on. The wearable system can detect when different inputs converge together, such as when a user seeks to select a virtual object using multiple inputs such as eye gaze, head pose, hand gesture, and totem input. Upon detecting an input convergence, the wearable system can perform a transmodal filtering scheme that leverages the converged inputs to assist in properly interpreting what command the user is providing or what object the user is targeting.
