Publication number: 20230337971Abstract: A detecting method for a behavior disorder event during rapid-eye-movement sleep is provided. The detecting method includes: collecting a heart rate value and a motion value of a user per epoch within a time period; generating a plurality of corresponding sleep condition values by using the motion values, to distinguish epochs into an awake period and a sleep period; transforming the motion values corresponding to the sleep period into a score according to a predetermined rule, to generate a plurality of sleep depth scores, and distinguishing the sleep period into a light sleep period and a deep sleep period by using the sleep depth scores; grouping the heart rate values corresponding to the deep sleep period as a high heart rate group and a low heart rate group; and determining, when the motion values corresponding to the high heart rate group satisfy a condition, that a behavior disorder event happens.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Pei-Chi CHUANG, Chun-Hsiang TSAI, Yu-Jen CHEN, Ching-Fu WANG, Shih-Zhang LI, Sheng-Huang LIN, Pei-Hsin KUO, You-Yin CHEN

Patent number: 11597960Abstract: The present disclosure relates to approaches for assessing a sample or the presence of microorganisms. The sample, in certain implementations may be assessed for one or both of absence of microorganisms (sterility) and/or for concentration of said organisms (bio-burden). sample partition device may be employed that partitions the sample input volume into multiple discrete measurement zones with little or no loss of sample (e.g., zero-loss) and with little operator involvement, thereby reducing operator- and environment-based false positives.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2019Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Alex David Corwin, Erik Leeming Kvam, Christine Lynne Surrette, Brian Joseph Scherer, Pei-Hsin Kuo, Ralf Lenigk

Patent number: 11590502Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a consumable sample partition device and it assembly and use. The sample partition device can be used to test a sample for absence of microorganisms (sterility) and/or for concentration of said organisms (bio-burden). The sample partition device partitions the sample input volume into multiple discrete measurement zones with little or no loss of sample (e.g., zero-loss) and with little operator involvement, thereby reducing operator- and environment-based false positives.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2019Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Alex David Corwin, Erik Leeming Kvam, Christine Lynne Surrette, Brian Joseph Scherer, Pei-Hsin Kuo, Ralf Lenigk, Tyler John Hammond

Publication number: 20220062900Abstract: A fluid handling apparatus for a bioprocessing system includes a first plate having a first surface and a second surface, at least one fluid flow channel formed in the first surface, at least one valve recess formed in the first surface along the at least one fluid flow channel, and at least one fluid passageway extending through the first plate from the at least one fluid flow channel to the second surface, and a sealing layer disposed over the first surface and enclosing the at least one fluid flow channel. The at least one valve recess is configured to cooperate with an actuator and the sealing layer to prevent a flow of fluid through the at least one fluid flow channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2020Publication date: March 3, 2022Applicant: GLOBAL LIFE SCIENCES SOLUTIONS USA LLCInventors: ANDREW ARTHUR PAUL BURNS, DENNIS CHEROK, MARK TIMMINS, PEI-HSIN KUO, WESTON BLAINE GRIFFIN

Patent number: 11061382Abstract: A method of forming a component by an electroforming process using an electroforming apparatus is presented. The electroforming apparatus includes an anode, a cathode and an electrolyte including a metal salt. The method includes receiving a set of training electroforming process parameters; training a machine learning algorithm based on at least a subset of the set of training electroforming process parameters; generating a set of updated operating electroforming parameters from the trained machine learning algorithm; and operating the electroforming apparatus based on the set of updated operating electroforming parameters. The step of operating the electroforming apparatus includes applying an electric current between the anode and the cathode in the presence of the electrolyte and depositing a plurality of metal layers on a cathode surface to form the component. A system of forming a component is also presented.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Andrew Joseph Detor, Pei-Hsin Kuo
