  • Publication number: 20250017734
    Abstract: An implantable fluid operated device includes a fluid control system to transfer fluid between a fluid reservoir and an inflatable member. The fluid control system includes at least one fluid control device including at least one pump and at least one valve, or at least one combination pump and valve device. A seal is provided in the at least one fluid control device. In a first mode, the seal provides a seal between a fluid passageway and a fluid chamber of the fluid control device, to close the fluid control device. In a second mode, the seal is disengaged to open the fluid control device and allow fluid to flow between the fluid passageway and the fluid chamber. A seal retention device maintains a position of the seal when the fluid control device is open and fluid is flowing through the fluid control device.

  • Publication number: 20240303060
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a container image associated with a target framework, a built distribution including a feature conversion class and a set of transform classes, and a configuration package. The method also includes executing the executables in a sequence indicated by the configuration package in a container based on the container image and generating an intermediate data structure by providing values of a source data framework to a feature conversion object constructed from the feature conversion class. The method also includes obtaining an identifier of a feature synthesis operation indicating the set of transform classes and, in response to obtaining the identifier of the feature synthesis operation, generating a transform output by providing a set of values of the intermediate data structure to a set of transform objects constructed from the set of transform classes.

  • Patent number: 10586082
    Abstract: Advanced micro-location of RFID tags in 3D and 2D spatial environments includes a mobile platform having a known location within a three-dimensional (3D) space. A plurality of RFID tags is located within the 3D space. A plurality of RFID antennas is mounted on the mobile platform, wherein backscatter signals of at least one of the RFID tags are collected by at least one of the plurality of RFID antennas and time-synchronized with the known location of the mobile platform in the 3D space at a time of collection. A computerized processing device is in communication with the plurality of RFID antennas. The computerized processing device performs algorithmic RFID tag localization using at least the collected backscatter signals of the at least one RFID tag and the time-synchronized known location of the mobile platform to determine a micro-location of the at least one RFID tag within the 3D space.
