Patent number: 11846446Abstract: An evaporative cooling module may include a cooling media formed from a vapor permeable membrane in which is formed a plurality of pores at a first side and a second side of the vapor permeable membrane. Individual pores of the plurality of pores may be sized to prevent liquid water from passing there through, and enable water vapor to pass there through. The cooling media may be configured to hold liquid water while an air stream is passed through the cooling media. The evaporative cooling module may also include a module inlet to direct liquid water into the cooling media, a module outlet to direct liquid water out of the cooling media, and a frame configured to support the evaporative cooling module.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Saurabh Kumar Shrivastava, Usman Khan, Thomas Yun, Peter Ross

Patent number: 10846858Abstract: A technology which enables identifying, via a computer, a vessel in a third image. The third image is obtained from a subtraction of a second image from a first image. The second image and the first image are aligned within an imaging space. The first image is post-contrast. The second image is pre-contrast. The technology enables determining, via the computer, a voxel intensity mean value of a segment of the vessel in the third image. The technology enables obtaining, via the computer, a fourth image from a division of the third image by the voxel intensity mean value. The technology enables applying, via the computer, a filter onto the fourth image. The technology enables generating, via the computer, a filter mask based on the fourth image.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2019Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New YorkInventors: Scott A.
