  • Publication number: 20260062640
    Abstract: This invention relates to a lubricating oil composition for ammonia fueled internal combustion engines (AICE) including: a) an oil of lubricating viscosity at greater than 50 wt. % of the composition comprising a Group I base oil, a Group II base oil, a Group III base oil, a Group IV base oil, or combinations thereof; b) optionally, one or more, optionally borated, higher molecular weight polyisobutylene succinimide (PIBSA-PAM) dispersant (Mn 1600 g/mol or more); c) one or more, optionally borated, lower molecular weight polyisobutylene succinimide (PIBSA-PAM) dispersant (Mn less than 1600 g/mol), wherein the treat level of the combination of the higher molecular weight PIBSA-PAM and lower molecular weight PIBSA-PAM is from 2.5 to 12.0 wt. % of the composition, wherein the treat level of the lower molecular weight PIBSA-PAM is from 0.1 to 9.0 wt. % of the composition, and wherein the treat level of the higher molecular weight PIBSA-PAM is less than or equal to 3.0 wt.

  • Publication number: 20240303883
    Abstract: Broadly speaking, the present techniques generally relate to a method for performing image processing using a machine learning, ML, model. In particular, the present application relates to a method for generating modified images from input images depicting human faces using a trained ML model. Advantageously, the present techniques enable manipulation of human faces within images in a way that allows one aspect of the image of the human face to be altered without impacting other aspects.

  • Publication number: 20220386560
    Abstract: The invention relates to apparatus for dispensing feed and/or bedding material for animals. The apparatus includes a body mounted on a base and the body includes a hopper for the said material and a rotor assembly to dispense the material from the hopper, said body movable with respect to the base and/or said rotor assembly movable with respect to the hopper to allow the condition of operation of the apparatus to be selected between a condition for best dispensing feed material and a condition for best dispensing bedding material. The apparatus is typically mounted on a transport vehicle. The selective movement of the body and/or rotor assembly, and typically other control functions can be controlled by a person operating control means which communicate with the apparatus via a wireless communication system and the apparatus can include a power supply to allow the same to be powered to operate independently of the transport vehicle and said power supply may be charged by operation of the rotor assembly.

  • Patent number: 8926683
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods are provided for deploying an implantable device, such as a stent, within a lumen of a body of a patient. The delivery device may include an inner member and an outer sheath surrounding a distal portion of the inner member and configured to retain the implantable device sheathed near the distal end of the outer sheath until deployment. The outer sheath is slidably moveable relative to the inner member such that proximal movement of the outer sheath relative to the inner member deploys the implantable device. A trigger assembly of the delivery device can include an internal connector coupled to the outer sheath, a plurality of triggers, and a floater coupling two of the triggers. The triggers are serially retracted to deploy the stent. A panchor secures the stent against proximal and distal movement relative to the inner member during deployment.

  • Publication number: 20120302917
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a urine meter (40) having a housing (14) which includes an inlet (16) and an outlet (20). The housing (14) further includes a first measurement chamber (24) and a second measurement chamber (26) arranged such that liquid entering the inlet (16) enters the first measurement chamber (24) before passing to the second measurement chamber (26). The housing (14) is further provided with a non-return valve (42) between the first and second measurement chambers (24,26) which, in use, prevents the flow of liquid from the second measurement chamber (26) to the first measurement chamber (24).
