  • Publication number: 20240143603
    Abstract: A service intelligence system is disclosed. The service intelligence system receives a search query, identifies anomalous machine codes for a machine associated with the search query, selects one or more historical data elements based on a similarity score between the identified anomalous machine codes and machine codes associated with the one or more historical data elements, ranks the one or more historical data elements based on the similarity score, selects a predetermined number of the one or more historical data elements based on descending rank order, and provides at least one corrective action or at least one part replacement associated with the tag for each of the predetermined number of highest ranked historical data elements in response to the search query. The machine codes are identified for a predetermined time period and each of the one or more historical data elements is associated with a tag.

  • Publication number: 20240131271
    Abstract: A drive train for a wind-up injection device is described. The drive train includes a torsional energy storage adapted to be loaded or unloaded by a rotatable element, a rotatable user handle, a rotationally driveable expelling mechanism adapted to expel the liquid drug, and a clutch element coupled with the torsional energy storage via the rotatable element and including a ratchet for maintaining the rotatable element at one of a number of discrete angular positions against the torque of the torsional energy storage. The clutch element is adapted to transmit the torque from the user handle to the torsional energy storage, or alternatively from the torsional energy storage to the expelling mechanism. The ratchet is switchable from one position to an adjacent position by a torque transmitted from the user handle to the torsional energy storage. The drive train is adapted to dampen torque peaks visco-elastically and/or visco-frictionally.

  • Patent number: 11956913
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for coordinating the installation and removal a motor control center subunit with the power connection and interruption thereof. A system of interlocks and indicators causes an operator to install a motor control center subunit into a motor control center, and connect supply and control power thereto, in a particular order. Embodiments of the invention may prevent actuation of line contacts of the bucket, and shield the line contacts, until the bucket is fully installed in the motor control center. Other embodiments also prevent circuit breaker closure until the line contacts are engaged with a bus of the motor control center.

  • Patent number: 11941179
    Abstract: A system and method for displaying images of internal anatomy includes an image processing device configured to provide high resolution images of the surgical field from low resolution scans during the procedure. The image processing device digitally manipulates a previously-obtained high resolution baseline image to produce many representative images based on permutations of movement of the baseline image. During the procedure a representative image is selected having an acceptable degree of correlation to the new low resolution image. The selected representative image and the new image are merged to provide a higher resolution image of the surgical field. The image processing device is also configured to provide interactive movement of the displayed image based on movement of the imaging device, and to permit placement of annotations on the displayed image to facilitate communication between the radiology technician and the surgeon.

  • Publication number: 20230332178
    Abstract: The invention provides methods of screening for capsid-encoding nucleotide sequences of adeno-associated virus (“AAV”) particles capable of infecting a subject's neurons, or sub-compartments thereof, involving neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells or embryonic stem cells. The invention also provides AAV capsids, capsid-encoding nucleotide sequences, expression vectors, viral particles, cells and kits for use in methods of treating neuromuscular or neuromotor disorders, such as spasticity. Sequences generated from the methods may lead to new gene therapies targeted to select populations of neurons, such as motor neurons innervating muscle cells, thus providing high specificity that may be personalised to the subject.
