  • Publication number: 20250196814
    Abstract: A sensor cleaning system for an autonomous vehicle includes at least one sensor configured to generate a sensor signal, the at least one sensor including a sensor face. At least one reservoir for a fluid and at least one conduit fluidly coupled to the at least one reservoir and to at least one nozzle are configured to direct the fluid towards the sensor face. At least one processor is communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor. A memory is operably coupled with the at least one processor, where the memory stores instructions that cause the at least one processor to perform operations including: receiving the sensor signal from the sensor; comparing a detected quality of the sensor signal relative to a nominal quality of the sensor signal; and, dispensing the fluid from the at least one reservoir through the at least one nozzle towards the sensor face.

  • Publication number: 20250139564
    Abstract: Techniques described herein include performing advanced data analytics based on disparate data sources in cloud computing environments. Cloud platform analytics system(s) associated with an organization may be implemented to retrieve organization-related data from various internal and/or external data sources. The cloud platform analytics systems may enrich and store the data within a cloud-based storage system, including structuring the data to perform specific organization management analytics. The various data analytics may be executed in the cloud environment using secure and performant analytics tools, and the results of the analytics processes may be output via reports, dashboards, notifications, and the like, to downstream systems and/or client devices.

  • Publication number: 20250022568
    Abstract: Systems and methods for parallel medication processing are disclosed herein. Such methods can include receiving a request for preparation of a plurality of dosed medication delivery containers, determining at least one attribute of the request for preparation of at least one dosed medication delivery container, identifying a template corresponding to the at least one attribute of the request, the template identifying steps and a step sequence for filling the dosed medication delivery container, and executing the template. Executing the template can include iteratively assigning tasks to a plurality of stations within the automated dosing device, the performance of which tasks at least partially overlap, and directing a transport tool to move at least one medication delivery container between the stations of the automated dosing device.

  • Patent number: 12133670
    Abstract: A method for treating emphysema with a condensable vapor includes creating a plurality of collateral channels through the airway walls, and delivering the condensable vapor to the airways. The condensable vapor flows to the diseased parenchymal tissue through the airways and the collateral channels. Condensable vapor to contact the tissue heats the tissue, reducing it in volume. Apparatuses are described to create the openings and ablate the lung tissue.

  • Publication number: 20240047052
    Abstract: A system and method that utilizes machine learning, volume prediction, input staffing and acuity data, and simulation data to align staffing coverage with forecasted coverage needs of an institution, such as a healthcare facility. The system can better match staffing coverage with staffing needs and patient demand resulting in cost savings and reducing the risk of overworking existing staff.

  • Patent number: 11512806
    Abstract: A restraint system for use in securing temporary flow lines that include multiple pipe sections, each pair of pipe sections connected together with a fitting or coupling such as a hammer joint coupling. The system includes multiple pluralities of endless loop slings connected end to end with a cow hitch or girth hitch knot. Disconnectable fittings (e.g., shackles) are placed every three or more slings so that easy disassembly is afforded in case of leakage or other failure. In one embodiment, a waterproof sleeve is an outer layer that surrounds or encapsulates an inner layer so that the inner layer remains dry and thus will not freeze.

  • Patent number: 11490946
    Abstract: A vapor ablation handpiece for assisting a physician perform vapor ablation with a vapor ablation catheter includes a vapor generating element arranged in a coil shape. A mandrel seated in the body of the handpiece affixes the vapor generating element in the coiled arrangement. A voltage difference is supplied across the length of the vapor generating element when activated, causing the vapor generating element to heat liquid therein converting the liquid to vapor. The heated condensable vapor is delivered to a target tissue through the catheter.
