  • Publication number: 20250119071
    Abstract: In one or more arrangements, an electrostatic machine is presented that includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor has a first set of terminals configured to receive a first multiphase AC drive voltage (VR) and the stator has a second set of terminals configured to receive a second multiphase AC drive voltage (VS). When VR is applied to the first set of terminals and VS is applied to the second set of terminals, the rotor and the stator generate respective electric fields which, when properly aligned, cause the rotor to produce torque relative to the stator and induce rotational motion when sufficient torque is generated.

  • Publication number: 20250052257
    Abstract: A turbocharger for an internal combustion engine or fuel cell includes a compressor having a liquid-cooled backplate through which a liquid coolant is circulated. The backplate reduces compressor outlet temperature, thereby reducing the cooling load on the intercooler for the engine, and enabling a reduction in charge air temperature entering the engine air inlet manifold. The compressor can include a serial two-stage compressor, in which case the backplate serves as a divider between the two impellers. In another variation, a turboexpander is combined on the same shaft with a single-stage compressor having the liquid-cooled backplate. Pressurized air from the compressor drives the turbine wheel of the turboexpander, expanding and reducing the temperature of the air before being fed to the engine.

  • Patent number: 12182566
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for automated software container rehydration and deployment include a server that updates a container image for a software application by modifying layers of the container image and deploying the updated container image as a first container in a passive production environment. For a plurality of traffic volumes, the server: a) increases application traffic directed to the first container to a first traffic volume, b) monitors service level indicators associated with performance of the first container, c) increases the application traffic directed to the first container to a higher traffic volume upon determining that the service level indicators are within a performance threshold, and d) repeats steps b) and c) until the application traffic is increased to a highest traffic volume and the service level indicators are within the performance threshold. The server deploys the updated container image as a second container in an active production environment.

  • Patent number: 12164295
    Abstract: Many different types of systems are utilized or tasks are performed in a marine environment. The present invention provides various configurations of unmanned vehicles, or drones, that can be operated and/or controlled for such systems or tasks. One or more unmanned vehicles can be integrated with a dedicated marine electronic device of a marine vessel for autonomous control and operation. Additionally or alternatively, the unmanned vehicle can be manually remote operated during use in the marine environment. Such unmanned vehicles can be utilized in many different marine environment systems or tasks, including, for example, navigation, sonar, radar, search and rescue, video streaming, alert functionality, among many others. However, as contemplated by the present invention, the marine environment provides many unique challenges that may be accounted for with operation and control of an unmanned vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240146718
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamically establishing, pausing, and/or terminating secure communication sessions. The techniques may include, detecting an occurrence of an authentication trigger event on a computing device and causing a user of the computing device to be authenticated for access to a resource that is to be accessed via a secure communication session. Based at least in part on authenticating the user for access to the resource, a token may be stored in a location that is accessible to a headend appliance associated with the secure communication session. The token may indicate that the user of the computing device is authenticated for access to the resource. In this way, at least partially responsive to detecting an occurrence of a networking trigger event, the secure communication session may be established between the computing device and the headend appliance to provide the computing device with access to the resource.
