    摘要: Systems and methods for positive dispense verification. In one aspect, a system has a plurality of light emitters. The light from the emitters is directed toward a plurality of light detectors across a proximately horizontal plane. The liquid dispense device is positioned above the horizontal plane of light emission from the plurality of light emitters to the plurality of light detectors such that the dispensed liquid will travel through the horizontal plane defined by the emitted light and onto the container being inoculated. Each of the plurality of detectors is coupled to an amplifier. The amplifier generates a signal in response to an interrupt in the transmission of light from the light emitters to the light detectors when the light path is disrupted by the dispense of liquid confirming the liquid was dispensed onto the container.

    摘要: Blood pump for percutaneous insertion into a heart's ventricle comprising an electrical motor for driving the blood pump, the electrical motor comprising at least tree motor winding units, wherein each motor winding unit is individually connectable to a power supply via two separate phase supply lines connected to the respective motor winding unit terminals. Motor controller for driving and controlling the electrical motor of the blood pump, wherein the motor controller comprises corresponding phase supply line driving units for each motor winding units of the electrical motor of the blood pump which phase supply line driving units are connected via the corresponding two-phase supply lines with the corresponding motor winding unit. Blood pump system comprising the blood pump and the motor controller. Control method for controlling the power supply to the motor winding units of the blood pump, wherein the method comprises: detecting a fault of one of the motor winding units, and in case of a detected faulty motor winding unit, switching off the corresponding phase supply line driving unit of the faulty motor winding unit and further operating the electrical motor by the remaining motor winding units, or, alternatively, adjusting driving parameters of the faulty motor winding unit and further operating the electrical motor by all motor winding units. Use of at least three independent motor winding units in an electrical motor for driving of a blood pump for percutaneous insertion, which motor winding units are individually connected to corresponding power supply via corresponding two separate phase supply lines connected to respective motor winding unit terminals of one of the at least three motor winding units.

    摘要: A method of calibrating a collimating lens system includes transmitting, using an optical transmitter, a beam out of an optical fiber and through a collimating lens of the collimating lens system. The beam is reflected off a perfect flat mirror positioned at an output of the collimating lens and back towards the collimating lens, and received, via the collimating lens, at a power meter connected to the optical fiber. The method also includes adjusting a position of a tip of the optical fiber proximal to the collimating lens while tracking a power reading using the power meter, selecting a calibration position of the optical fiber corresponding to a highest power reading, and securing the optical fiber relative to the collimating lens using the calibration position.

    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure relate to determining relevant content in response to a request for information. One or more computing devices (170) may load data elements into registers (385A-385B), wherein each register is associated with at least one parallel processor in a group of parallel processors (380A-380B). For each of the parallel processors, the data elements loaded in its associated registers may be sorted, in parallel, in descending order. The sorted data elements, for each of the parallel processors, may be merged with the sorted data elements of other processors in the group. The merged and sorted data elements may be transposed and stored.

    摘要: The technology provides a seat release blocker that covers a seat release latching mechanism, where the latching mechanism would enable a passenger to fold down one or more seats of a vehicle. This can be particularly beneficial when the vehicle is operating in an autonomous driving mode, because certain areas within the vehicle may be restricted from passenger access. For instance, access to the trunk or cargo area may be limited to authorized service personnel. The seat release blocker includes a cover member that is fixedly secured to a seat such as a middle seat, using one or more fastener members such as a screw. Once the cover is releasably secured to the seat, the side of the cover with the fasteners may be completely or substantially covered by the side of an adjacent seat.
