  • Patent number: 12499914
    Abstract: A digital content package includes first content comprising a video feature such as a motion picture or the like, and a user-selectable application configured to operate as follows. When activated using an icon off of a menu screen, the application records an identifier for scenes (discrete portions) of the first content that are selected by a user to generate a playlist. The user may select the scenes by indicating a start and end of each scene. The application saves the playlist locally, then uploads to a server. Via a user account at the server, a user may publish the playlist to a user-created distribution list, webpage, or other electronic publication, and modify the playlist by deleting or reordering scenes.

  • Publication number: 20250269106
    Abstract: Methods for providing one or more guided workflow features with regard to a fluid injector system, may include receiving data associated with the fluid injector system, displaying a first graphical user interface (GUI) screen associated with a guided workflow for operation of the fluid injector system on one or more display devices based on the data associated with one or more components of the fluid injector system, receiving a first user input, displaying a second GUI screen associated with the guided workflow on the one or more display devices based on receiving the first user input, executing a first operation of the fluid injector system, and receiving a second user input, where the second GUI screen provides information that is sequential to the first GUI screen with regard to the guided workflow for operation of the fluid injector system. Systems and computer program products are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20250195757
    Abstract: A fluid injector system includes at least one injector for pressurizing and delivering at least one fluid from at least one fluid reservoir, at least one fluid path section providing fluid communication between a bulk fluid reservoir and a syringe, and at least one sensor arranged along the at least one fluid path section. The sensor includes an emitter configured to emit light through the at least one fluid path section, and a detector configured to receive the light emitted from the emitter and generate a signal based on a property of the received light. The fluid injector system further includes at least one processor programmed or configured to determine, based on the electrical signal, an identity of the fluid present in the fluid path section, a concentration of the fluid in the fluid path section, and/or a property of the fluid path section.

  • Patent number: 12187416
    Abstract: A landing gear system for a vehicle includes a landing gear configured for reciprocating motion between a stowed position and a deployed position. The landing gear has a linkage with a first link rotatably coupled to a second link. The linkage reciprocates between folded and extended states when the landing gear reciprocates between the stowed and deployed positions, respectively. A fail-secure downlock includes first and second electromagnets fixedly positioned relative to the first and second links, respectively. The first electromagnet is proximate to the second electromagnet when the landing gear is in the stowed position. The first electromagnet is attracted to the second electromagnet when the downlock is in the locked state. The first electromagnet is repelled by the second electromagnet when the downlock is in the unlocked state.

  • Patent number: 12187417
    Abstract: A landing gear system includes a landing gear assembly coupled to a body of a vehicle and configured for reciprocating motion between a retracted position and an extended position. A fail-secure uplock assembly is reciprocal between a locked state and an unlocked state. A first electromagnet and a first permanent magnet are mounted to the body, and a second electromagnet and a second permanent magnet are mounted to a component of the landing gear assembly. The first and second electromagnets generate magnetic fields with reversible polarities. When the landing gear assembly is in the retracted position, the first permanent magnet is attracted to the second permanent magnet. The first electromagnet is attracted to the second electromagnet when the uplock assembly is in the locked state and is repelled by the second electromagnet when the uplock assembly is in the unlocked state.

  • Publication number: 20240408301
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are disclosed for a flow rate algorithm that utilizes changes in fluid pressure over a set time interval to calculate a true flow rate compared to a programmed flow rate, determine any over-delivery or under-delivery in the amount of fluid delivered over the set time interval, compensate for any determined over-delivery or under-delivery in the fluid flow rate over a subsequent set time interval, and repeat the flow rate algorithm for a series of subsequent set time intervals over the duration of a fluid injection procedure.
