  • Patent number: 12165781
    Abstract: An X-ray imaging system includes an X-ray detector; a plurality of X-ray sources configured to illuminate the X-ray detector from different perspectives; a shutter in a transmission plane between each X-ray source controlling transmission of X-rays from each X-ray source to the X-ray detector; and a processor configured to receive and process X-ray data from the X-ray detector. The shutter may be configured to illuminate the X-ray detector alternately with each X-ray source. The processor may determine 3D information about an object from the processed X-ray data. Also provided are methods for processing X-ray data and different embodiments of shutters to alternately illuminate X-ray detectors.

  • Patent number: 12161908
    Abstract: A treadmill has a front or rear set of pulleys and a looped running belt. The pulleys rotate with the movement of the belt, e.g., when a user walks, jogs, or runs on the treadmill. The pulleys are mounted on a rotating roller tube so that the roller tube rotates with the pulleys. The roller tube is mounted on a stationary shaft using bearings on each side and a one-way device that allows the pulleys to rotate in one direction. The rotation direction corresponds to the movement of the top of the belt from the front to the rear of the treadmill. The one-way device prevents the pulleys from rotating in the opposite direction, preventing the top of the belt from moving from the rear of the treadmill to the front. The one-way device may be a sprag clutch. The treadmill may be a motor-less, curved treadmill.

  • Publication number: 20240202021
    Abstract: Various methods and edge computing systems are disclosed that implement a versatile elastic edge compute/architecture (vEEC) that includes a computing mesh including two or more edge computing nodes (ECNs). The ECNs may be configured to manage application offloading in the vEEC system by monitoring ECN performance against set key performance indicators (KPIs), identifying service issues in ECNs not meeting KPIs, and determining alternative ECNs for running affected applications. The operations may further include checking for suitable ECNs within a local group and extending the search to external groups if necessary. Upon finding a suitable ECN, the system facilitates the transfer of the application from the original ECN to the alternative ECN.

  • Patent number: 11998684
    Abstract: The invention provides a dosing system for an inhalation device, comprising a filling chamber (10); a reservoir chamber (31) which supplies liquid (3) to an aerosol generator (301); and a plunger (20) which includes an overflow chamber (25) and which is pivotable about a hinge (50). The filling chamber has an inner wall (12) which is higher on the side adjacent to the hinge than on the opposite side. When the filling chamber is filled with liquid and the plunger is pivoted into the filling chamber, part of the liquid is displaced over the lower side (17) of the inner wall into the reservoir chamber and some or all of the remaining liquid is displaced into the overflow chamber. The invention also provides an inhalation device comprising the dosing system and a method for dosing liquid to the inhalation device.

  • Publication number: 20240114317
    Abstract: A method comprises accessing historical signal and other information received from a tracking device configured to scan for signals transmitted by local devices and record other data as the tracking device moves within the geographic area during each of a plurality time intervals. A training dataset is generated based on the historical signal and other information and used to train a machine learning model configured to predict tracking device movement patterns. The machine learning model is applied to current signal and other information to detect a variance from one or more predefined routines associated with the tracking device. A notification is sent to a monitoring device associated with the tracking device in response to detecting the variance from the one or more predefined routines associated with the tracking device.
