  • Publication number: 20250249469
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods for preparing a plural component foam where the materials supplies are provided from unpressurized storage containers. In use, a continuous stream of high velocity air moves through the static mixing nozzle, and the material streams may be intermittently moved into the gas stream of the nozzle and aerated and mixed with each other and moved with the air to form the plural component foam. The plural component foams are delivered from a static mixing nozzle at pressures of less than 300 psi. Spray guns configured for preparing the plural component foams are also disclosed. Polyurethane foams, polyurethane adhesives, and polyurea foams prepared by the methods are further provided.

  • Publication number: 20250245822
    Abstract: An automated image checking suite, software program, and method to automatically evaluate whether medical imaging data of a target anatomy is acceptable to facilitate surgical planning for the target anatomy. The automated image checking suite is configured to execute one or more automated checks to determine, for example: if medical imaging data was scanned according to acceptable configuration settings; if target anatomy in the medical imaging data is acceptably captured within a boundary of the medical imaging data; if the patient moved during scanning; if a required feature of the target anatomy, which must be fully captured in the medical imaging data to acceptably facilitate surgical planning of a selected implant relative to the target anatomy, is acceptably captured within the boundary of the medical imaging data; and/or if the medical imaging data acceptably shows an intended type of target anatomy and an intended operative side of the target anatomy.

  • Publication number: 20250230545
    Abstract: Methods of depositing a film selectively onto a first substrate surface relative to a second substrate surface are described. The methods include exposing the substrate surfaces to a blocking compound to selectively form a blocking layer on at least a portion of the first surface over the second surface. The substrate is sequentially exposed to a metal precursor with a kinetic diameter in excess of 21 angstroms and a reactant to selectively form a metal-containing layer on the second surface over the blocking layer or the first surface. The relatively larger metal precursors of some embodiments allow for the use of blocking layers with gaps or voids without the loss of selectivity.

  • Patent number: 12362854
    Abstract: In a probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS) system, a distribution matching (DM) component may receive a uniform bit sequence with equal probabilities, which may be converted into symbols with a desired probability distribution (e.g., Gaussian). For example, the probability distribution may use inner constellation points associated with a lower energy and/or power more frequently and outer constellation points associated with a higher energy and/or power less frequently. In general, the DM component may map binary bits to positive amplitudes with a non-uniform distribution according to a DM rate that is based at least in part on a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which may vary significantly in a spatial and frequency selective wireless channel. Accordingly, some aspects described herein relate to configuring DM parameters and codeword and resource mappings in a spatial and frequency selective wireless channel.

  • Publication number: 20250223665
    Abstract: In embodiments, pressurized fluid containing reagents of formulated mixtures of solids, liquids and gasses are delivered into a cased well then into the heap or pile to open or stimulate new horizontal and vertical fluid pathways, channels, plus drains from the open bottom of the well to the bottom of the heap or pile for fluid collection. This delivery method may also drain any fluids that are retained and pooled in the heap or pile. The removal of pooled fluids will increase the inter-particle cohesion and friction in the heap or pile, thus adding geotechnical stability and resistance to movement of the heap or pile. The cased wells may also add shear strength to the collective to retard movement of the heap or pile.

  • Patent number: 12350725
    Abstract: Components, methods for producing the components from metallic blanks, and vehicles comprising the components are provided. The components include a body having protrusions and recesses formed by a process including forming the component from a metallic blank by a drawing or stamping process. The metallic blank has at least one notch along a perimeter thereof that is configured to reduce elastic strain retained in the component formed therefrom. The at least one notch provides for relaxation of elastic strain within the component during the drawing or stamping process and thereby reduces springback distortion of the component.

  • Patent number: 12340624
    Abstract: A method for predicting the pose of an articulated object includes receiving spatial information for n joints of the articulated object. The spatial information for the n joints is passed to a machine learning model previously trained to receive spatial information for n+m joints as input, wherein m>=1. From the machine learning model, a pose prediction for the articulated object is received as output based at least on the spatial information for the n joints, and without spatial information for the m joints.

  • Publication number: 20250192806
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for low-density parity check (LDPC) coding. Some aspects more specifically relate to extending LDPC codewords to produce longer codewords. In some examples, a first wireless device may generate a baseline LDPC code by performing a first lifting on a base matrix, which may produce an LDPC code used for a current Wi-Fi implementation. The first wireless device may then perform a second lifting or a re-lifting (such as a cyclic lifting, a product lifting, a swapping lifting, or a combination thereof) to generate an extended lifted code. This extended lifted code may be an extension of the first LDPC code such that the first LDPC code may be preserved as part of the extended code. Then first wireless device may then transmit the extended LDPC code as an extended or lifted codeword.
