  • Patent number: 12009066
    Abstract: Techniques for probabilistic analysis of chemicals are provided. An indication of a proposed chemical composition is received. A predicted toxicity score is generated for the proposed chemical composition by performing probabilistic analysis on the proposed chemical composition. The probabilistic analysis includes identifying, based on a knowledge graph, at least one similar composition that is structurally similar to the proposed chemical composition. The analysis also includes identifying a set of chemical reactions that include the at least one similar composition, and determining one or more products of the identified set of chemical reactions. The probabilistic analysis further includes determining a toxicity of at least one of the one or more products. Finally, the predicted toxicity score is returned.

  • Patent number: 11963691
    Abstract: A surgical instrument, has an end effector that includes an ultrasonic blade, and a clamp arm that moves relative to the ultrasonic blade from an opened position toward an intermediate position and a closed position. The clamp arm is offset from the ultrasonic blade to define a predetermined gap in the intermediate position between the opened position and the closed position. A clamp arm actuator connects to the clamp arm and moves from an opened configuration to a closed configuration to direct the clamp arm from the opened position toward the intermediate position and the closed position. A spacer connects with the clamp arm to inhibit movement of the clamp arm from the intermediate position toward the closed position for maintaining the predetermined gap between the clamp arm and the ultrasonic blade.

  • Publication number: 20240092617
    Abstract: A portable article lifter, separator, and compressor capable moving a variety of articles. The core components are a frame, a motor, a power source, and a set of interchangeable end effectors suitable for moving different types of articles. This device is used to lift an article, separate multiple articles from each other, and compress one or more articles. Multiple devices can operate collaboratively to move a large and/or heavy article via daisy chaining the devices using synchronization modules. A transmission between the motor and the end effector controls the speed and the torque of the end effector. The device further provides an ON/Off module, a frame base, a handle, a level, wheels and rollers, and a work light.

  • Publication number: 20240085093
    Abstract: A door panel for a refrigerating appliance includes an inner liner. An outer wrapper is attached to the inner liner and defines an insulating structure with an insulating cavity disposed therein. An insulating material is defined within the insulating cavity. A dispenser structure is defined within a central portion of the inner liner and the outer wrapper. The dispenser structure defines an insulated dispenser portion therein. A dispenser conduit extends from an interior area disposed above the dispenser structure to an external dispensing cavity and passing through the insulated dispenser portion.

  • Publication number: 20200153037
    Abstract: Microscopically ordered solid electrolyte architectures for solid-state and hybrid Li ion batteries are disclosed. The architecture comprises at least one porous scaffold comprising a lithium conducting ceramic that is porous enough to be infiltrated with cathode or anode active material in an amount sufficient to enable energy densities greater than 300 Wh/kg. Methods of making these microscopically ordered solid electrolyte architecture by fabricating at least one green ceramic scaffold and applying at least one heat treatment step are also disclosed.
