  • Publication number: 20240148296
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for implementing cognitive behavioral therapy to help a subject to manage a psychiatric or mental condition of the subject are provided. Interactive digital reality (DR) activities are provided through an interactive DR scene, each configured for a subject to practice a specific reframing technique. In some embodiments, a method also includes providing one or more additional psychotherapeutic or psychoeducational techniques. Through the practice of satisfying conditions associated with each interactive DR activity, the systems, methods, and devices help a subject to manage a psychiatric or mental condition of the subject, such as by getting better at recognizing and/or challenging an anxious thought as the thought occurs, and/or by reframing the anxious thought into more a different thought using the interactive DR scene.

  • Patent number: 11953204
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for a controller for a fuel oil burner system that controls a fuel oil burner to perform intermittent ON cycles. In one example, a controller includes a memory configured to store a value for one or more burner control delay periods and a processor. The processor is configured to perform an auto-set procedure in a first ON cycle. The auto-set procedure includes detecting an oil valve in the fuel oil burner; determining that the value for a burner control delay period is a default value; and in response, storing a valve-present value as the value for the burner control delay period in the memory.

  • Publication number: 20240113771
    Abstract: A technology is described for a dual path repeater configurable for a split mode and a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) mode. The dual path repeater can comprise first and second server ports and first and second donor ports. Four amplification and filtering paths are communicatively coupled between the ports. Each amplification and filtering path include a software defined filter (SDF). The SDFs are configured to filter the same 3GPP bands to provide MIMO communication or the first SDF and the second SDF are configured to filter different bands to enable the dual path switchable repeater to provide split mode communication on multiple TDD/FDD bands.

  • Patent number: 11923568
    Abstract: A fuel electrode incorporates a first and second corrugated portion that are attached to each other at offset angles respect to their corrugation axis and therefore reinforce each other. A first corrugated portion may extend orthogonally with respect to a second corrugated portion. The first and second corrugated portions may be formed from metal wire and may therefore have a very high volumetric void fraction and a high surface area to volume ratio (sa/vol). In addition, the strands of the wire may be selected to enable high conductivity to the current collectors while maximizing the sa/vol. In addition, the shape of the corrugation, including the period distance, amplitude and geometry may be selected with respect to the stiffness requirements and electrochemical cell application factors. The first and second corrugated portions may be calendared or crushed to reduce thickness of the fuel electrode.

  • Publication number: 20240074067
    Abstract: A printed circuit board having an electrically insulative layer and a conductive solder pad. The conductive solder pad is disposed at least partially over the electrically insulative layer, and defines a solder contact area. The solder contact area is configured for making an electrical connection to an electrical component via laser soldering. The printed circuit board further includes a solder mask coating the conductive solder pad and defining an exposed area of the conductive solder pad. The conductive solder pad protects the electrically insulative layer from incident heat during the laser soldering by extending a length underneath the solder mask along a periphery of the exposed area.

  • Publication number: 20240031418
    Abstract: A live media streaming architecture facilitates live interaction among multiple participants, such as viewers and stage performers for a show. A cluster of computers is responsible for generating, transmitting, and displaying a composed live stream, such as a grid, of one group of individuals, by mixing live streams from those individuals, that will allow them to interact with a stage performer or other contributors or other individuals during an event. The architecture can support receiving the live streams at a physical location of an event or other locations for centralized redistribution.

  • Publication number: 20230175233
    Abstract: A remote control console or operator's station includes a proportional travel control joystick that effects continuous changes in machine travel speed through movement of the joystick away from a central-biased position, a sensor that measures progressively changing positions of the joystick, and an electronic controller communicatively coupled to the sensor and the joystick. The electronic controller is programmed to perform a closed loop control including mapping the progressively changing positions of the joystick to corresponding desired machine travel speeds, and adjusting the speeds of an engine used to propel the machine and the amounts of service braking used to slow the machine to achieve desired machine travel speeds.
