  • Publication number: 20240095852
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for generating an empathetic profile and sending messages to a living individual. The system and method includes a processor configured to create the empathetic profile using personal data of a deceased individual, to create a user profile using personal data of the living individual, and to create a relationship link in a database of relationships between the empathetic profile and the user profile based on association data and similarities in data between the empathetic profile and the user profile. The processor is further configured to generate a message to be sent by a communications interface when a trigger condition is met, wherein the content of the generated message is based on the empathetic profile, the user profile and the relationship link. The system and method further includes a memory to store the empathetic profile, the user profile and the database of relationships.

  • Publication number: 20150144300
    Abstract: A recirculating bath includes a main power input configured to receive an alternating current and a heating element that is selectively coupled to the main power input. The heating element is selectively coupled to the main power input in response to an activation signal having a duty cycle. The duty cycle of the activation signal is determined based on a voltage of the alternating current, with the duty cycle being reduced in response to an increase in the voltage of the alternating current. The heating element is thereby de-rated at higher alternating current voltages. A power unit coupled to the main power input provides direct current having a voltage independent of the alternating current voltage to portions of the recirculating bath, such as direct current motors coupled to a compressor and recirculating pump. The recirculating bath is thereby configured to operate with a range of alternating current voltages.

  • Publication number: 20040150398
    Abstract: A Lorentz force-driven mechanical resonator apparatus that utilizes a high-Q resonant structure as both a mixing device and a high-Q bandpass filter. Specifically, an external time varying, but quasistatic, magnetic field is applied to the resonating device while simultaneously running a time varying electrical current through the device. The resulting Lorentz force (I×B) is proportional to the vector product of the electrical current in the bar (I) and the external magnetic field (B). Integrating such a resonant device with a magnetic field coil produces the functionality of an ideal radio frequency (RF) mixer coupled with a high-Q intermediate frequency (IF) filter. Wide tunability provides the capability to scan, or even step, an array of filters having very narrow bandwidths via a common local oscillator to a desired frequency range.
