  • PDM transmission with articulated torque transfer
    Patent number: 12292089
    Abstract: A ball-CV style transmission suitable for use in a Positive Displacement Motor (PDM). A shaft provides shaft wings received into housing receptacles on a housing. A Unitary Torque Transfer Element (UTTE) is interposed between each shaft wing and housing within each housing receptacle, with a spherical surface on the UTTE received into a recess preferably on the housing. The UTTEs float within their corresponding housing receptacles so as to maintain torque transfer contact between all thrust surfaces during articulated rotation of the shaft with respect to the housing. The UTTEs preferably float generally radially towards the shaft centerline as angular deflection increases during articulated rotation.

  • Time-synchronized pixel array and touch array crosstalk mitigation systems and methods
    Patent number: 12293043
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described that may mitigate display pixel and touch crosstalk noise. A touch processing system may compensate touch scan data to reduce the noise based on a luminance value. An image processing system may determine the luminance value based on image data and a display brightness value of an electronic display. Using the compensated touch scan data, the touch processing system may determine a proximity of a capacitive object to at least one touch sense region of the electronic display.

  • Memory Access Control through Permissions Specified in Page Table Entries for Execution Domains
    Publication number: 20250139016
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to a computer system having a page table entry containing permission bits for predefined types of memory accesses made by executions of routines in predefined domains are described. The page table entry can be used to map a virtual memory address to a physical memory address. In response to a routine accessing the virtual memory address, a permission bit corresponding to the execution domain of the routine and a type of the memory access can be extracted from the page table entry to determine whether the memory access is to be rejected.

  • Firearm muzzle attachment apparatus
    Publication number: 20250137745
    Abstract: A mount for mounting a firearm sound suppressor or silencer to a firearm muzzle or muzzle device operates by using primary mounting lugs on the suppressor which engage sockets on the muzzle device. The primary lugs prevent the suppressor from axially moving with respect to the muzzle device, thus causing them to be fixed together as a unitary device. Angled bearing faces on the muzzle device and the sound suppressor are pressed against each other by rotating the sound suppressor on threads which drive the angled bearing faces together, thus tightening the primary lugs within their sockets. Backup lugs on the silencer engage an annular groove on the muzzle device to retain the silencer on the firearm to which it is mounted in case of failure of the primary lugs. Rapid attachment and detachment are supported by these structures.

  • METHOD FOR SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION OF AN IMAGE, AND DEVICE
    Publication number: 20250139781
    Abstract: A method for semantic segmentation of an image that has been captured by an environment detection arrangement of a device, in particular an automatedly moving device, using a computing system having computing power. The image is obtained and a region in the image is selected. Segments, in particular image points, of the image are each assigned one of a plurality of classes within the scope of the semantic segmentation. Based on a ratio of the selected region to the image, a higher proportion of the computing power is used for the selected region of the image than for the rest of the image. A classified resulting image is generated and in output. A device is also described.

  • CONDUIT COUPLING DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20250137560
    Abstract: A conduit coupling device is provided for enabling a conduit coupling system and method. The conduit coupling device has two portions, a coupler and a cap, that adhere, respectively, to two separate conduits being coupled together. The coupler has a first tubular end and a second end that provides an arcuate cutout. The coupler provides an adhesive channel along the arcuate cutout. The inner surfaces of two ends engage outer surfaces of the two separate conduits, respectively. The cap is dimensioned and adapted to adhere to a portion of the outer surface of the second arcuate cutout conduit so as to provide an adhesive ridge there along. The adhesive ridge is dimensioned to be slidably received in the adhesive channel, thereby forming a locked engagement between the first and second conduits.
