  • Publication number: 20220232086
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and control systems to provide a platform to facilitate implementation of an interface, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform that implements specialized logic to predict an action based on content in electronic messages, at least one action being a responsive electronic message. In some examples, a method may include receiving data representing an electronic message with an electronic messaging account, identifying one or more component characteristics associated with one or more components of the electronic message, characterizing the electronic message based on the one or more component characteristics to classify the electronic message for a response as a classified message, causing a computing device to perform an action to facilitate the response to the classified message, and the like.

  • Patent number: 11235141
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for use of an inductive link for a communication channel in a transcutaneous energy transfer system. An example system may include a resonant circuit associated with an external primary, a power transistor connected to the resonant circuit and configured to drive the resonant circuit with a first time-varying electrical signal having a frequency, and a power driver connected to the power transistor that is configured to set the frequency of the first time-varying electrical signal to a resonant frequency to enable power transfer from the external primary to an implanted secondary. The example system may further include a communication driver operatively connected to the power transistor and configured to encode the first time-varying electrical signal with a data signal by modulating an attribute of the time-varying electrical signal as electrical power is transferred from the external primary to the implanted secondary.

  • Patent number: 11137780
    Abstract: A manifold includes a housing defining first and second inlets and outlets. With the housing, a valve retainer defines a first chamber in fluid communication with the first and second inlets. The valve retainer may engage a first valve assembly having a first actuator attached to a first valve member for regulating flow from the first outlet, and a second valve assembly having a second actuator attached to a second valve member for regulating flow from the second outlet port. A sensor assembly is configured to detect first and second operations of the first and second valve assemblies. A controller directs independent operations of the first and second actuators based on first and second flow rates derived from the first and second operations. The first and second valve members may be positioned within portions of respective first and second valve bodies in open fluid communication with the first chamber.

  • Patent number: 10620058
    Abstract: A liquid in glass variable angle thermometer tube includes a bulb containing a volume of liquid with a known coefficient of thermal expansion and having a sensing portion for sensing temperature, a glass capillary column for reading the height of the liquid therein, and a flexible metal capillary connecting the sensing portion to the glass capillary column. The flexible metal capillary is in fluid communication with the sensing portion and the glass capillary column such that the liquid in the bulb is permitted to transfer from the sensing portion to the glass capillary column. The bulb is connected directly to the flexible metal capillary and includes an extension portion that is separate from the volume of liquid and the extension portion supports the bulb remote to the temperature sensing volume.

  • Patent number: 10536991
    Abstract: Disclosed is a safety circuit for disrupting power to a heating element of an appliance to be powered through a solid state switch (Q1), typically a triac, from an AC power source (V1) having a positive half cycle and a negative half cycle for delivering power. A low resistance condition is sensed by detecting either the current through, or voltage across, the solid state switch during the positive half cycle and the negative half cycle of the AC power line, when the solid state AC switch is not actuated. A fault signal is generated to interrupt power to the heating element, preferably by a crowbar circuit opening a fuse, whenever the low resistance condition is detected.

  • Patent number: 10376625
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for measuring and calculating parameters to control and monitor a power transfer in an implanted medical device, including operating the device in a plurality of scalable power modes and/or coupling modes. The system may shift between or among power and/or coupling modes based on input such as data received over system communication lines, programmable timers, or electrical loading information. The system may also shift between or among power and/or coupling modes based on calculated amounts of coupling, levels of detected heat flux, and/or amounts of estimated temperature changes.
