  • Publication number: 20240342497
    Abstract: A method of treating a subject that includes positioning a plurality of magnetic sources in proximity to a head of the subject, each magnetic source being configured to provide a magnetic field, selecting a phase offset between a first magnetic field provided by a first magnetic source of the plurality of magnetic sources and a second magnetic field provided by a second magnetic source of the plurality of magnetic sources, operating the plurality of magnetic sources with the selected phase offset, and applying the magnetic fields provided by the plurality of magnetic sources to the head of the subject to provide a therapeutic treatment within a target area of the subject's brain, wherein the magnetic fields combine to produce a rotating magnetic field vector in proximity to the target area of the subject's brain.

  • Publication number: 20240338399
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of a system, techniques and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that enable the selection of a response document template for generating an appropriate response to notification document. Respective components may generate an electronic document from the notification document. A common theme between two or more of the electronic documents may be identified. The electronic documents identified as having the common theme may be grouped in a notification document corpus. The notification document corpus may be analyzed with reference to received notification documents stored in a document repository. Based on results of the analysis, a template of a notification response document appropriate for responding to a specific notification document received by the enterprise may be selected. The selected response document template may be forwarded to a client device for further processing.

  • Publication number: 20240329310
    Abstract: A method for depositing silicon oxynitride film structures is provided that is used to form planar waveguides. These film structures are deposited on substrates and the combination of the substrate and the planar waveguide is used in the formation of optical interposers and subassemblies. The silicon oxynitride film structures are deposited using low thermal budget processes and hydrogen-free oxygen and hydrogen-free nitrogen precursors to produce planar waveguides that exhibit low losses for optical signals transmitted through the waveguide of 1 dB/cm or less. The silicon oxynitride film structures and substrate exhibit low stress levels of less than 20 MPa.

  • Patent number: 12092378
    Abstract: Generally, management of refrigerant in an evaporator of an HVAC chiller is described. Methods, systems, and apparatuses to manage refrigerant in an evaporator can include one or combination of the following approaches: (1) by use of a refrigerant displacement array to physically prevent refrigerant from residing where the array is positioned (2) by control of the interstitial velocity of refrigerant flow within the volume of the shell of an evaporator; (3) by a phase biased distribution of the refrigerant mixture, so that a gaseous portion is uniformly distributed into the evaporator shell, while liquid refrigerant and oil is distributed into the evaporator shell at a designated area; and (4) by preventing or reducing the occurrence of foaming inside the evaporator through anti-foaming surfaces, such as by the use of refrigerant phobic and lubricant phobic material(s). Refrigerant management can in turn improve the thermal performance and overall efficiency of the evaporator.

  • Patent number: 11867946
    Abstract: An optical subassembly includes a planar dielectric waveguide structure that is deposited at temperatures below 400° C. The waveguide provides low film stress and low optical signal loss. Optical and electrical devices mounted onto the subassembly are aligned to planar optical waveguides using alignment marks and stops. Optical signals are delivered to the submount assembly via optical fibers. The dielectric stack structure used to fabricate the waveguide provides cavity walls that produce a cavity, within which optical, optoelectronic, and electronic devices can be mounted. The dielectric stack is deposited on an interconnect layer on a substrate, and the intermetal dielectric can contain thermally conductive dielectric layers to provide pathways for heat dissipation from heat generating optoelectronic devices such as lasers.

  • Patent number: 10946665
    Abstract: In one example, a method for determining an out-of-liquid condition of a liquid supply for an inkjet printer. The method includes acquiring, during printing, a sequence of data points, each data point comprising a differential liquid/air pressure at the liquid supply measured with a sensor and a corresponding cumulative amount of liquid delivered from the liquid supply. The method further includes generating a curve using the data points. The method also includes determining, from a predetermined characteristic of the curve, whether the out-of-liquid condition exists. The characteristic is independent of at least one of a gain and an offset of the sensor.
