  • Publication number: 20250144623
    Abstract: A sample cartridge for a chemical processing instrument. The sample cartridge comprises a primary reaction vessel configured to accommodate a fluid sample for processing and configured to receive a lid for closing an open top of the primary reaction vessel, and a reagent vessel configured to receive one or more fluid reagents via an open top of the reagent vessel. The reagent vessel is connected to the primary reaction vessel via a primary reagent channel with a primary reagent valve disposed in the primary reagent channel to control fluid flow through the primary reagent channel. The sample cartridge further comprises a primary pneumatic port in fluid communication with the primary reaction vessel and configured to be connected to a pneumatic module to selectively adjust a pressure within the primary reaction vessel when the lid is closed to draw the fluid contents of the reagent vessel into the primary reaction vessel.

  • Patent number: 12131338
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying and authenticating a physical article to a virtual environment. A physical article, such as a decorative pin used in gameplay or some purchased article with anti-counterfeiting tag information, may be scanned by a mobile device and verified by a mobile device application. Such a process may uniquely identify a product as being associated with one particular customer, which may limit counterfeiting and may also allow the article to be incorporated in some form into a game or other virtual environment, such as in the form of an accessory for a game character.

  • Patent number: 12124500
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for image-based document search. Embodiments include receiving an image of a document and providing the image of the document as input to a machine learning model, where the machine learning model generates separate embeddings of a plurality of patches of the image of the document and the machine learning model generates an embedding of the image of the document based on the separate embeddings of the plurality of patches. Embodiments include determining a compact embedding of the image of the document based on applying a dimensionality reduction technique to the embedding of the image of the document generated by the machine learning model. Embodiments include performing a search for relevant documents based on the compact embedding of the image of the document. Embodiments include performing one or more actions based on one or more relevant documents identified through the search.

  • Patent number: 12078563
    Abstract: A tribometer and technique for determining torque at a physical interface of multiple rotating components. The tool and technique include aligning components about a rotational axis for independent rotation of each component. The components are in physical interface during the rotating with a resultant frictional torque. The torque may be measured by one or more torque meters during the rotating. This measured torque may be compared against an estimated torque for tool accuracy. Further, parameters such as load, temperature, component material, rotating rpm differentials and others may be varied to determine effect on measured frictional torque.

  • Publication number: 20240211646
    Abstract: A real-time evaluator decreases the cost of building envelope construction and retrofits by reducing the installation time for overclad panels and enhancing performance of the panels through higher installation quality. The real-time evaluator includes a machine vision subsystem to measure real-time locations of the panels as their being installed, a digital twin manager device to manage a current panel position digital twin based on the real-time measurements and make comparisons to a target panel position digital twin. The comparisons can be used to provide installation guidance to panel installers that can improve both the speed and accuracy of installation.
