  • Patent number: 12312984
    Abstract: An oil separation baffle is mounted in an oil gallery of an internal combustion engine. A lower section includes a bottom wall and side window openings. Crankcase gasses flow into the side window openings, through the lower section, and through the top opening. An upper section includes a plurality of ribs extending horizontally between a front side wall of the upper section and a rear side wall of the upper section. The plurality of ribs are vertically spaced apart from each other and extend from a first wall of the oil gallery toward a second wall of the oil gallery to an opening defined between a distal end of the rib and the other of the first and second walls of the oil gallery. The bottom planar wall separates larger oil droplets and the ribs separate smaller oil particles from the crankcase gasses and return the oil to the crankcase.

  • Patent number: 12313030
    Abstract: A rotor blade includes first and second blade segments extending in opposite directions from a chord-wise joint. The first blade segment includes a beam structure that connects with the second blade segment via a receiving section. A chord-wise gap exists between an edge of the beam structure and an edge of the receiving section. The beam structure defines a first pin joint slot, whereas the receiving section defines a second pin joint slot that aligns with the first pin joint slot. First and second bushings are arranged in first ends of the first and second pin joint slots, each having a flange extending within the chord-wise gap. As such, the flanges abut against each other within the chord-wise gap so as to fill the chord-wise gap with a predetermined defined gap or interference. Further, a chord-wise extending pin is positioned through the bushings so as to secure the first and second blade segments together.

  • Patent number: 12315044
    Abstract: For reconstruction, a machine-learned model is adapted to allow for reconstruction based on the repetitions available in some scanning. The reconstruction for one or more subsets is performed during the scanning. The machine-learned model is trained to reconstruction separately or independently for each repetition or to use information from previous repetitions without requiring waiting for completion of scanning. The reconstructed image may be displayed much more rapidly after completion of the acquisition since the reconstruction begins during the reconstruction.

  • Patent number: 12314319
    Abstract: A database system facilitates secure data sharing by implementing projection constraints within a query processing framework. Upon receiving a query directed to a shared dataset, the system, utilizing hardware processors, identifies a subset of data within the dataset that is subject to a projection constraint policy. The applicability of the projection constraint is determined based on the context of the query, which is derived from a data sharing agreement. The system processes the query by selectively restricting the projection of data values from constrained columns, while allowing specific operations to be performed on the data. The output generated in response to the query is compliant with the projection constraint policy, providing derived data based on the allowed operations without revealing the actual data values. This ensures the confidentiality of sensitive information while enabling collaborative data analysis and sharing among various users of the database system.

  • Patent number: 12315047
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes, based on an input dataset defining an input image, determining a reconstructed image using a reconstruction algorithm, and executing a data-consistency operation for enforcing consistency between the input image and the reconstructed image. The data-consistency operation determines, for multiple K-space positions at which the input dataset comprises respective source data, a contribution of respective K-space values associated with the input dataset to a K-space representation of the reconstructed image.

  • Patent number: 12311596
    Abstract: A device is provided for three-dimensional printing of a glass object, by applying and solidifying successive layers of a material constituting the glass, in locations corresponding to the section of the object to be produced in the corresponding layer, by a laser producing a beam whose wavelength allows the direct fusion in the core of the material. The device includes a supply mechanism for supplying the material to a support on which the successive layers are formed: a thermal regulator of the successive layers for holding their temperature during the production of the object and for cooling them after the production of the object; and a central unit controlling the laser. The printing device includes a servo-control for servo-controlling the power and the speed of the laser in real time.

  • Patent number: 12313028
    Abstract: A hydrostatic pressure to kinetic energy conversion system comprises a hydraulic head water column having a lower end which diverges to a pair of pressure channels. A valve system interfaces the water column and the pressure channels so that hydrostatic pressure from the water column alternately pressurises each channel. The system further comprises racks forced by pistons to act oppositely to rotate a driveshaft therebetween. Furling bladders within the channels forcibly unfurl under pressure to force the pistons. Proximal ends of the pistons may comprise sufficiently small diameter for envelopment by the furling bladders.
