  • Patent number: 12226557
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to extracorporeal blood processing or other processing of fluids. Volumetric fluid balance, a required element of many such processes, may be achieved with multiple pumps or other proportioning or balancing devices which are to some extent independent of each other. This need may arise in treatments that involve multiple fluids. Safe and secure mechanisms to ensure fluid balance in such systems are described.

  • Patent number: 12113413
    Abstract: A vehicle, electric machine, and method of manufacturing an electric machine include a stator having teeth extending from a yoke portion toward a rotor and defining slots between adjacent teeth with windings positioned within the slots, wherein the slots are coated with an electrically insulating material having an arcuate surface exiting the slots and extending at least partially over the teeth on at least one end face of the stator to form a winding guide for bending/positioning the windings. The winding guide may be formed by a molded epoxy that replaces insulating paper slot liners while providing a template for forming the hairpin bends of end windings.

  • Publication number: 20230412676
    Abstract: Provided is a process of managing rack-mounted computing devices in a data center with a distributed peer-to-peer management system, the process including: determining roles of data-center management computing devices in a distributed peer-to-peer data-center management system; receiving, via an out-of-band network, a data-center management command at a given data-center management computing device; distributing, based on at least some of the roles, via the out-of-band network, the data-center management command.

  • Publication number: 20230258711
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for reducing stabilization times. The system includes at least a device-under-test (DUT), a flow generator, and optionally a heat exchanger to accelerate the thermal stabilization of fluid in the DUT during and after it has been filled with test gas. This rapidly equilibrates the temperature of the fluid in the DUT to the heat exchange medium, thereby reducing temperature differentials. The reduced magnitude of the temperature differential reduces the flows associated with temperature change of the fluid due to this thermal stabilization. As a result, this allows the leak test measurement to be made in less time, or for more of the cycle time to be used for leak measurement and, thus increase the accuracy of the test measurement.

  • Publication number: 20230252991
    Abstract: Artificial assistant system notification techniques are described that overcome the challenges of conventional search techniques. In one example, a user profile is generated to describe aspects of products or services learned through natural language conversations between a user and an artificial assistant system. These aspects may include price as well as non-price aspects such as color, texture, material, and so forth. To learn the aspects, the artificial assistant system may leverage spoken utterances and text initiated by the user as well as learn the aspects from digital images output as part of the conversation. Once generated, the user profile is then usable by the artificial assistant system to assist in subsequent searches.
