Patent CA-2876187-C (CA)
Inventor: HERR HUGH MILLER
IPC: A61F2/50

Abstract: A time-dependent decay behavior is incorporated into one or more joint actuator control parameters during operation of a lower-extremity, prosthetic, orthotic or exoskeleton device. These parameters may include joint equilibrium, joint impedance (e.g., stiffness, damping) and/or joint torque components (e.g., gain, exponent). The decay behavior may be exponential, linear, piecewise, or may conform to any other suitable function. Embodiments presented herein are used in a control system that emulates biological muscle-tendon reflex response providing for a natural walking experience. Further, joint impedance may depend on an angular rate of the joint. Such a relationship between angular rate and joint impedance may assist a wearer in carrying out certain activities, such as standing up and ascending a ladder.

Abstract: A process for reducing the sulfur content of a hydrocarbon stream is disclosed. A full range cracked naphtha is contacted with a hydrogenation catalyst to convert at least a portion of the dienes and mercaptans to thioethers and to hydrogenate at least a portion of the dienes. The full range cracked naphtha is fractionated into a light naphtha fraction, a medium naphtha fraction, and a heavy naphtha fraction. The heavy naphtha fraction is hydrodesulfurized. The medium naphtha fraction is mixed with hydrogen and gas oil to form a mixture, which is contacted with a hydrodesulfurization catalyst to produce a medium naphtha fraction having a reduced sulfur concentration. The light, heavy, and medium naphtha fractions may then be recombined to form a hydrodesulfurized product having a sulfur content of less than 10 ppm in some embodiments.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe thermostats that use model predictive controls and related methods. A method of controlling a thermostat using a model predictive control may involve determining a parameterized model. The parameterized model may be used to predicted ambient temperature values for an enclosure. A set of radiant heating system control strategies may be selected for evaluation to determine an optimal control strategy from the set of control strategies. To determine the optimal control strategy, a predictive algorithm may be executed, in which each control strategy is applied to the parameterized model to predict an ambient temperature trajectory and each ambient temperature trajectory is processed in view of a predetermined assessment function. Processing the ambient temperature trajectory in this manner may involve minimizing a cost value associated with the ambient temperature trajectory. The radiant heating system may subsequently be controlled according to the selected optimal control strategy.

Title: Method, device, and system for joining neighbor awareness network device cluster

Granted: 2020-10-27
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method, device, and system for joining a neighbor awareness network device cluster. When a wireless device in a first neighbor awareness network device cluster discovers a second neighbor awareness network device cluster by means of scanning, if it is necessary to join the second neighbor awareness network device cluster, the wireless device leaves the first neighbor awareness network device cluster and joins the second neighbor awareness network device cluster. Because the wireless device does not belong to multiple neighbor awareness network device clusters at the same time, power consumption of the wireless device is low. Meanwhile, as time progresses, when all wireless devices in the first neighbor awareness network device cluster leave, and join the second neighbor awareness network device cluster, a discovery window of the first neighbor awareness network device cluster on a working channel is no longer occupied, which increases available resources on the working channel.

Abstract: In some implementations, a method for validating an acoustic bond-log tool includes having a test fixture including a wellbore casing emulating tubing. An outer tubing emulates a well formation and forms a perimeter of an annulus surrounding the wellbore casing emulating tubing. The wellbore casing tubing is configured with a stepped outer surface emulating different wellbore casing sidewall thicknesses. A dividing structure is coupled in the axial direction to the outer surface of the wellbore casing emulating tubing and to the inner surface of the outer tubing to radially subdivide the annulus into a plurality of hermetically sealable sample sections. Each sample section contains a sample of a material having a known acoustic impedance. The acoustic bond-log tool is validated by comparing a bond-log tool measurement of the acoustic impedance of each sample in a particular sample section to the known acoustic impedance of the sample.
