  • Ostomy appliance coupling assembly
    Patent number: 12295875
    Abstract: A coupling assembly for an ostomy appliance that has a locking arrangement, a first coupling and a second coupling. The locking arrangement has a locking ring and first and second grips mounted to the locking ring. The locking ring is mounted to first and/or second coupling, forms an inner circumference and is adjustable between locked and unlocked configurations. In the locked configuration the locking ring is for maintaining the first and second couplings in a coupled configuration and the inner circumference is less than in the unlocked configuration. The first and second grips are positioned about the locking ring to be moveable towards one another to increase the inner circumference and adjust the locking ring from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration.

  • Cross data center data federation for asset collaboration
    Patent number: 12299637
    Abstract: A method may include a collaboration controller receiving a collaboration request to share a data asset associated with a first customer onboarded at a first data center with a second customer. In response to the collaboration request, the collaboration controller may determine that the second customer is onboarded at a second data center but not the first customer. Moreover, the collaboration controller may replicate, at the second data center, the data asset associated with the first customer upon determining that a copy of the data asset is not already present at the second data center. The replicating of the data asset may provide the second customer access to the data asset by at least creating, at the second data center, the copy of the data asset. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

  • Method for transforming a quantum circuit while minimizing the CNOT-cost
    Patent number: 12299534
    Abstract: The disclosure refers to method for converting an input quantum circuit comprising gates into an output quantum circuit compliant with execution constraints, comprising: determining if a front layer comprises single-qubit gates, and updating the front layer; reiterating the determining step as long as the front layer comprises single-qubit gates; identifying in the front layer a quantum gate that does not satisfy execution constraints; determining a pattern such that the gate satisfies the execution constraints when applying the adjoint pattern to the gate; adding the pattern to the output quantum circuit, and applying the a joint pattern to the gate; and reiterating these steps until each quantum gate in the input quantum circuit satisfies the execution constraints; wherein each pattern is determined in such a way that a number of CNOT-gates comprised by at least one pattern is minimized.

  • Vision-assisted robotized depalletizer
    Patent number: 12297058
    Abstract: A vision-assisted robotized depalletizer receives at a pallet station a pallet loaded with products and outputs on a conveyor unitized products aligned in a desired orientation. Such depalletizers include a vision system having one or more image acquisition sensors that are positioned relative to the pallet station so as to have a field of view covering a top portion of the pallet. The sensors send to a controller one or more image of the top portion of the pallet that the controller uses along to determine the position of each product in the top portion of the pallet. The depalletizer further includes a robot equipped with a depalletizing tool that is coupled to the vision system controller for receiving information indicative of the position of each product from the top portion and uses that information to pick and position on the output conveyor each product from the top portion.

  • Determining data shifts using changepoint detection in time series datasets
    Patent number: 12298989
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for determining data shifts using change point detection in time series datasets. The system receives, from a change point modelling system, a first model and a plurality of change points detected within a time series dataset using the first model. The system generates, for each change point, a second corresponding model that fails to detect a corresponding change point and inputs the time series dataset into the first model and into each second corresponding model. The system determines a performance difference between the first model and each second corresponding model and assigns severity metrics to the change points based on the corresponding performance difference. The system selects a subset of change points based on the severity metrics and determines a cause of each change point of the subset of change points.
