  • Publication number: 20210285794
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a current sensor having an elongate current conductor having an input and an output and a longitudinal axis. First, second, third and fourth magnetic field sensing elements are coupled in a bridge configuration and positioned in a plane parallel to a surface of the current conductor such that the second and fourth magnetic field sensing elements comprise inner elements and the first and third magnetic field sensing elements comprise outer elements. Embodiments of the sensor reduce the effects of stray fields on the sensor.

  • Publication number: 20210261237
    Abstract: A system and method for preventing a maximum asymmetric condition between pylon tilt angles due to a degraded pylon in a fly-by-wire tiltrotor aircraft during transitions between airplane mode and helicopter mode includes a conversion system for imparting movement on a right and left pylon. A flight control computer is operatively connected to a set of transducers for measuring pylon angles. The flight control computer is further connected to a set of actuators which are attached to each pylon. The flight control computer receives flight dynamics input from the set of transducers and/or the pilot and sends pylon command to the set of actuators. The conversion system measures the difference between the pylon angles during the transition and provides a pylon command adjustment if the difference exceeds a preset threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210256265
    Abstract: A computing system retrieves ball-by-ball data for a plurality of sporting events. The computing system generates a trained neural network based on ball-by-ball data supplemented with ball-by-ball data with ball-by-ball match context features and personalized embeddings based on a batsman and a bowler for each delivery. The computing system receives a target batsman and a target bowler for a pitch to be delivered in a target event. The computing system identifies target ball-by-ball data for a window of pitches preceding the to be delivered pitch. The computing system retrieves historical ball-by-ball data for each of the target batsman and the target bowler. The computing system generates personalized embeddings for both the target batsman and the target bowler based on the historical ball-by-ball data. The computing system predicts a shot type for the pitch to be delivered based on the target ball-by-ball data and the personalized embeddings.

  • Patent number: 11061084
    Abstract: A pressure sensor includes a conductive substrate having a cavity which forms a thin portion that can be deformed by a pressure differential. A magnetic field sensor has at least one coil responsive to a changing coil drive signal and positioned proximate to the thin portion of the substrate that induces eddy currents in the thin portion that generate a reflected magnetic field. Magnetic field sensing elements detect the reflected magnetic field and generate a magnetic field signal. The magnetic field sensor is positioned so that deformation of the thin portion of the substrate causes a distance between the thin portion of the substrate and the magnetic field sensor to change.

  • Publication number: 20210207327
    Abstract: The present invention provides multi-ply creped tissue products, and in particular embodiments creped wet pressed tissue products, having substantially higher per-ply basis weights, such as from about 20 to about 30 gsm, without the negative effects often associated with higher basis weight. As such, the tissue products are generally soft and flexible, having a softness value (measured as TS7) less than about 12.0 and a Stiffness Index less than about 20. While being soft and flexible, the instant tissue products are durable enough to withstand use, such as having a GMT greater than about 600 g/3? and a Burst Index greater than about 12.0.

  • Patent number: 11030542
    Abstract: Techniques enable contextually-aware selections of event forums. Scheduling data can be analyzed to identify a context associated with an appointment. A forum that is appropriate for the identified context can be selected and utilized. The analysis can also utilize traffic data, map data, weather data, user preferences, and other contextual data to select one or more forums. A forum can be a place or communication medium. A service provider can associate one or more forums with a particular skill set. For example, a legal office can associate an online forum, such a videoconference, with a first category of services, and an on-site location for a second category of services. Depending on a category of services identified in one or more user preferences and/or meeting requests, a forum can be selected. Other factors, which may include weather conditions, traffic conditions, and commute times can also influence the selection of a forum.
