  • Publication number: 20250146713
    Abstract: Wellbore synthesis techniques are disclosed suitable for use in geothermal applications. Embodiments are provided where open hole drilled wellbores are sealed while drilling in sequenced operations with utilization of phase change materials to form an impervious layer at the wellbore/formation interface in high temperature applications. The techniques may be chemical, thermal, mechanical, biological and are fully intended to irreversibly damage the formation in terms of the permeability thereof. With the permeability negated, the wellbore may be used to create a closed loop surface to surface geothermal well operable in the absence of well casing for heat transfer surfaces for maximizing thermal transfer to a circulating working fluid. Formulations for the working and drilling fluids are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 12285359
    Abstract: An eye surgery surgical system includes a visualization device for visualizing the position of at least one trocar point for a trocar on the sclera of a patient's eye. The trocar serves to introduce a surgical instrument configured for surgical interventions on the fundus of the patient's eye into the patient's eye. The eye surgery surgical system also includes a computer unit which is configured to provide the position of the at least one trocar point to the visualization device. Here, the computer unit contains a trocar point computation routine configured to calculate the position of the at least one trocar point from the location of at least one surgical site in a model of the patient's eye and from geometric data relating to at least one surgical instrument introducible into the patient's eye through the trocar.

  • Patent number: 12282918
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for secure content exchange. A secure content exchange platform includes a content exchanger and exchange gateway interface. The content exchanger stores a content item and generates a globally unique identifier (GUID) associated with the content item. The exchange gateway interface receives a registration request for the content item from a sending financial institution system, submits the content item to the content exchanger, receives the GUID associated with the content item from the content exchanger, returns the GUID to the sending financial institution system as a response to the registration request, receives a retrieval request from a recipient financial institution system, retrieves the GUID from the retrieval request to submit the GUID to the content exchanger, receives the content item from the content exchanger, and returns the content item to the recipient financial institution system as a response to the retrieval request.

  • Publication number: 20250126454
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a clearinghouse AAA server receives, from a WiFi network AAA server of a WiFi network, a request for a priority UE to access an external data network via the WiFi network, accesses a Declared Emergency Location Registry (DELR) database to determine whether a current emergency situation has been declared for the WiFi network, determines whether the priority UE is authenticated and authorized to access the external data network via the WiFi network, and determines whether the priority UE should receive priority or non-priority access to the external data network via the WiFi network. Depending on the situation, the WiFi network may be the UE's home WiFi network or a visited WiFi network having a roaming agreement with the home WiFi network. In this way, priority UEs can receive priority access to external data networks via Wifi networks during declared emergency situations.

  • Publication number: 20250115274
    Abstract: Methods, computing devices, and software programs for identifying a driving scenario in real-time driving data. A driving scenario is received and translated into an ordered sequence of events that correspond to the driving scenario. A signal computation function is determined for each event in the sequence, which quantifies proximity to the respective event. Driving data is received for a plurality of time steps. Values of each signal computation function are determined, evaluated for the driving data at each of the plurality of time steps. It is determined whether the driving scenario has occurred in the driving data based on the values of the signal computation function. A first portion of the driving data is either modified, discarded, or stored in memory based on the determination whether the driving scenario has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20250058004
    Abstract: An antimicrobial lighting system is used to reduce microbial growth on surfaces in or on air conditioning and/or heating equipment. In some examples, antimicrobial light within one or more antimicrobial wavelength ranges is applied to inactivate one or more microorganisms on target surface(s) within or on a packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC). The antimicrobial light may include light within a first antimicrobial wavelength range and/or light within a second antimicrobial wavelength range. The antimicrobial lighting system may include an array of individually controllable antimicrobial light segments. An array controller may individually control activation of the one or more antimicrobial light segments based on the status information or commands received from a PTAC controller or from an external computing device.

  • Patent number: 12209775
    Abstract: Wellbore synthesis techniques are disclosed suitable for use in geothermal applications. Embodiments are provided where open hole drilled wellbores are sealed while drilling in sequenced operations with utilization of phase change materials to form an impervious layer at the wellbore/formation interface in high temperature applications. The techniques may be chemical, thermal, mechanical, biological and are fully intended to irreversibly damage the formation in terms of the permeability thereof. With the permeability negated, the wellbore may be used to create a closed loop surface to surface geothermal well operable in the absence of well casing for heat transfer surfaces for maximizing thermal transfer to a circulating working fluid. Formulations for the working and drilling fluids are disclosed.
