  • Patent number: 11963791
    Abstract: A method for training an algorithm for predicting a knee adduction moment (KAM) includes, while each subject walks over forceplates, capturing kinematic data, generating first ground reaction force (GRF) data, generating second GRF data, and generating reference KAM data based on the kinematic data and the first GRF data. While repeatedly training the algorithm by incrementing i by one, the method performs generating a model, which predicts reference KAM data, validating the predicted reference KAM data based on reference KAM data of the subjects other than the i-th subject, adjusting internal parameters by minimizing an error between the predicted KAM data and reference KAM data of the subjects other than the i-th subject, and producing an accuracy score for the model based on an error between the predicted reference KAM data and the reference KAM data of the i-th subject.

  • Publication number: 20220296409
    Abstract: A menstrual disc applicator that is configured to hold a menstrual device in a folded configuration to allow for insertion of the disc into the fornix. Many applicators are configured to not only insert the disc but to provide rotation such that it sits properly in the vaginal fornix. Some applicators may have spring like mechanisms to help move the disc into the proper position while others may have contoured elements that better conform to the anatomy to allow for proper insertion and placement of the disc.

  • Patent number: 11248785
    Abstract: A steam generating system includes a furnace, a nozzle tip assembly for pulverized coal and primary air as well as means for conveying secondary air in the furnace. The nozzle according to the invention comprises a nozzle body (3) and several channels (5) being connected with the nozzle body, the channels are diverging from each other. At the exit faces (17) of the channels obstructions (13) are disposed to induce huge turbulences of the primary air when entering the furnace. Due to these turbulences the primary air and the entrained coal are mixed very well before being combusted in the furnace. This results in a better more effective combustion with reduced NOx-emissions.

  • Patent number: 11234857
    Abstract: A menstrual device with a reservoir portion and a rim portion where the rim element is comprised of stiffer higher durometer resilient material while the reservoir portion is made from a softer lower durometer material. Additionally, other portions of the menstrual device may have differing durometer materials. The menstrual device may be configured with a compression relief element to help improve the overall folding of the device for use.
