  • Publication number: 20240425091
    Abstract: A portable, single-fixation, magnetic derailment mitigation device may be fixed on a rail track for measuring the deflection of the rail track. The magnetically fixing device is used for measuring vertical track deflection (sleeper voids), horizontal track deflection, ambient and rail temperature, rail angle, vibration, displacement, and location. The derailment mitigation device sends digital notifications and/or alarms during the live train and/or freight operations to help prevent derailments, rail buckles, breaks, and pull apart. The measured data and/or all events obtained from the derailment mitigation device is stored in the data storage such as cloud storage and viewed from any smart devices.

  • Patent number: 12175881
    Abstract: Disclosed is a braille display that is impact resistant and that employs a modular construction. The impact resistance is achieved, in part, by molded and resilient end caps. Each end cap includes a centrally positioned slit that functions in absorbing lateral impacts to the display. The impact resistance is further achieved by an over molded housing that is positioned about an associated USB connector. The modularity of the display is achieved by way of a subassembly that is releasably secured within the interior of a main housing. The subassembly, in turn, includes a series of cell compartments that are arranged in groups. Each group of cell compartments is controlled by an individual shift register. This allows a grouping cell compartments to be removed and replaced as needed without disturbing the remaining cell components.

  • Publication number: 20240396938
    Abstract: Techniques for a client device configured with a kernel driver framework (KDF) to establish connection(s) with target workload(s) provisioned in remote network(s) (e.g., an enterprise network) using non-routable synthetic IP address(es) (e.g., a loopback address within a link-local address range, a unique local address within a discard prefix range, and/or the like). The KDF may intercept DNS requests from application(s) executing on a client device, generate and return a synthetic IP address associated with a given domain in the DNS request, and establish a connection with a secure access gateway using the non-routable synthetic IP address. Additionally, the KDF may invoke an external browser with an authentication redirect to a randomly generated synthetic IP address on a randomly generated port, where a local listener on a client device may listen on the synthetic IP address and random port to obtain and/or store authentication data for later use.

  • Patent number: 12145146
    Abstract: Embodiments of lab automation workstations are disclosed in which the pod that performs pipetting operations is integrated with pipette tip-loading functionality. To generate the necessary tip-loading force, a dual drive system is used that is symmetric about the Y-axis to allow for offset or partial tip box loads by dynamically centering the drive force (e.g., the tip-loading force) over the reaction load. This minimizes the need for oversized linear motion components while still allowing for the generation of high tip-loading forces needed to properly load a large number of pipette tips simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20240374993
    Abstract: The invention described herein relate to a data processing unit, wherein the data processing unit is configured to: create input and output memory map files; monitor activity of a controller communicatively coupled to the data processing unit, wherein the activity of the controller includes input data; determine a type of controller for the controller based on a first identification value associated with the controller; associate the controller with a second identification value, wherein the second identification value is associated with a first memory location in the input memory; convert the input data of the controller to generic controller data; write the generic controller data to the first memory location in the input memory map based on the second identification value; and continuously monitor the controller via a controller handler.

  • Patent number: 12137987
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are ultrasound systems and methods for sustained spatial attention. For example, an ultrasound system can include a console and an ultrasound probe. A display of the console can be configured to display ultrasound images and one or more still or moving images of a procedural field. The ultrasound probe can include a camera integrated into the ultrasound probe for recording the one-or-more still or moving images of the procedural field with a depth of field including a distal end of a probe head and a field of view including a spatial region about the probe head. With the one-or-more still or moving images displayed along with the ultrasound images, a clinician need not switch his or her spatial attention between spatial regions such as the procedural field and the display quite as frequently as with existing ultrasound systems, thereby sustaining spatial attention in one or more spatial regions.

  • Publication number: 20240254750
    Abstract: A toilet may include a base including a bowl, a rim disposed around a top of the bowl, and a seat rotatably coupled to the rim. The eat may include a top surface configured to support a user and a bottom surface opposite the top surface. In some examples, the top surface is disposed at an incline and the bottom surface is supported by the rim. In some example, a dampener including a softer material than the bowl and disposed within the bowl. In some examples, a bidet wand extends from the base and is configured to selectively change between a position for dispensing a flow of water for washing a user and a position for cleaning a surface of the bowl. In some examples, the toilet includes a floor connector including a channel formed by a first flange and a second flange.
