  • Publication number: 20240329626
    Abstract: The disclosure describes methods and systems for operating a manufacturing process with a concurrent real-time simulation of the manufacturing process via a digital twin model. Sensor data indicative of parameters of an ongoing manufacturing process are input into the digital twin model, and used to predict an output of the manufacturing process. The predicted output is compared to a target output. One or more trained machine learning models are used to determine a corrective action to be implemented by a controller of the manufacturing process to minimize any deviation from the target output.

  • Patent number: 11747385
    Abstract: A device for detecting stray electrical currents in fluid mediums comprises at least two probes for partially disposing in a fluid medium and a control unit. The control unit comprises at least one analog-to-digital signal converter in electrical communication with at least one of the probes, at least one audio-visual alarm, and a processor operably coupled to the at least one converter and to the at least one audio-visual alarm. The processor is operable to measure an electrical potential difference between the two probes, to calculate at least one frequency-dependent characteristic associated with a plurality of said measurements, and to transmit an alert signal if the at least one frequency-dependent characteristic satisfied a threshold. Advantageously, by monitoring for the frequency, the device more consistently and more reliably detects the presence of stray alternating currents.

  • Patent number: 11602636
    Abstract: An alert system detects when an auditory prosthesis recipient is wearing her sound processor. When the processor is not worn, the alert system signals a secondary device, such as an accessory, to provide some other form of tactile stimulation to allow the recipient to be made aware of certain auditory stimuli she is not receiving via the auditory prosthesis. Thus, the alert system can effectively “hear” for the recipient. Since many auditory prosthesis recipients are, for all practical purposes, completely deaf without their external sound processors attached and operational, such an alert system increases the recipient's safety, convenience, and quality of life.

Interactive processing components provide collaborative interaction between a user and at least one database, the collaboration including deployment of a search module in response to a query associated with the user device, and a diagnostic inquiry module comprising an interactive sequence of at least two linked inquiries transmitted to the user device. In one embodiment, the diagnostic inquiry module is operable to assign a value or “weight” to the user responses to the interactive sequence of at least two linked inquiries. User interface tools may further be associated with the user device for accepting input from the diagnostic inquiry module and correspondingly displaying output as determined by the interactive processing components.

  • Patent number: 11513091
    Abstract: A gas detection device is provided. The device includes a substrate and a dielectric material applied to the substrate. A sensor material is applied to the dielectric film. The sensor material has a bottom, a side, and a top surface. An electrode material is at least partially applied to the dielectric film and at least partially applied to a portion of the side of the sensor material and a portion of the top surface of the sensor material to pin a portion of the sensor material to the dielectric material. The electrode material forms a vapor barrier upon the sensor material to facilitate preventing delamination between the sensor material and the electrode material over portions of the sensor material where the sensor material is not pinned to the dielectric material.

  • Patent number: 11426096
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a breath tester. The breath tester includes a sensor for sensing a mind-altering substance in breath from a blower (i.e., person blowing and providing a sample).
