Abstract: A combination light socket and cable clip removably attaches to a variety of surfaces on a structure and removably attaches a variety of light sources to the clip. The clip has a stabilizing plate which has a guiding flap formed at one end and a post formed at an opposite end. A flexible multi-clip structure extends from the post toward the stabilizing plate. The flexible multi-clip structure includes means for clamping the clip to a structure, means for removably attaching electrical wire to the clip, and means for removably attaching a lightbulb socket to the clip. The clip may be injection molded using biodegradable materials and is useful for hanging lights from roof gutters and shingles.

Abstract: An IPC device may include a pole in a ground surface. The IPC device also includes an upper end with tapered walls extending inwardly from a base and into an apex to abut the pole, and a seam extending along a peripheral edge of the tapered walls. The upper end defines a plant-receiving cavity. The IPC device also includes a lower tubular end opposite the upper end and having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a major mesh surface extending between the first end and the second end. The lower tubular end also defines the plant-receiving cavity therein. The IPC also includes a medial seam coupling the base of the upper end and the first end of the lower tubular end. The IPC also includes a curved flexible support carried by the medial seam. The IPC also includes a base member.

Abstract: Implementations are described herein for leveraging digital media files retrieved and/or created by users to predict/determine topics of potential relevance to the users. In various implementations, digital media file(s) created and/or retrieved by a user with a client device may be applied as input across trained machine learning model(s), which in some cases are local to the client device, to generate output that indicates object(s) detected in the digital media file(s). Data indicative of the indicated object(s) may be provided to a remote computing system without providing the digital media file(s) themselves. In some implementations, information associated with the indicated object(s) may be retrieved and proactively output to the user. In some implementations, a frequency at which objects occur across a corpus of digital media files may be considered when determining a likelihood that a detected object is potentially relevant to a user.

Abstract: A processing unit determines a first mapping relationship and a second mapping relationship, where the first mapping relationship indicates that an access rule of a first physical address is access forbidden, and the second mapping relationship indicates that an access rule of the first physical address is access allowed. The processing unit determines that a target mapping relationship is the first mapping relationship, sends a first access request to a memory control unit. The processing unit receives first exception information sent by the memory control unit, where the first exception information is sent when the memory control unit determines that the access rule of the first physical address in the target mapping relationship is access forbidden. The processing unit monitors a process based on the first exception information, switches the target mapping relationship; and re-sends the first access request to the memory control unit.

Abstract: A retractable vehicle step is attachable to a vehicle or truck, such as at the rear portion. The vehicle step facilitates access to a cargo hold of the vehicle. Advantageously, the vehicle step provides clearance space relative to a tailgate of the vehicle by displacing a stepping member of the vehicle step in a generally lateral direction. The vehicle step desirably has a covered and protected biasing mechanism for transitioning between retracted and extended positions of the stepping member. Another advantage is that the vehicle step is readily attachable to the vehicle using already existing connection members, thereby generally eliminating or mitigating the need for customized retrofitting and avoiding undesirable installation cost and time. Further, the vehicle step may be pulled out from under the vehicle by the foot of a user.

Abstract: A vehicular light guide member includes a main body part and a light entrance part. The main body part has an exit surface and a plurality of specular surfaces facing the exit surface. Some of the specular surfaces constitute a displaced section that is closer to or farther from the exit surface than a reference section constituted of the remains of the specular surfaces. The specular surfaces as such allow light to be uniformly emitted through the exit surface.

Abstract: A light includes a plurality of light-emitting elements; a first substrate having a first surface on which the light-emitting elements are arranged at predetermined intervals, a second surface, and an opening that connects the first surface and the second surface; a second substrate located facing the second surface of the first substrate and having a communication unit mounted thereon; and an antenna arranged on the second substrate, wherein in response to an on/off operation, the communication unit transmits information about the on/off operation to an external destination, and the antenna extends through the opening of the first substrate in a direction crossing the first surface of the first substrate.

Abstract: A phosphor wheel includes a substrate including a first principal surface and a second principal surface located opposite to each other, a phosphor layer on the first principal surface, and a heat dissipating member disposed so as to oppose one of the first principal surface and the second principal surface. The heat dissipating member includes a projecting portion that projects from a center portion of the heat dissipating member, and the projecting portion includes a contact surface that contacts the one of the first principle surface and the second principle surface. The heat dissipating member further includes fins formed in a peripheral region of the heat dissipating member excluding the center portion. The projecting portion secures a certain distance between the substrate and the heat dissipating member and conducts heat in the substrate to the peripheral region of the heat dissipating member.

The notches can at least include first, second and third different notches. The notches can be arranged in a repeating pattern and each can be continuously arcuate. The notches can extend into the back edge a first depth. The notches can be separated from one another by a first distance. The notches can have respective radii of curvature and the radii of curvature can be different from one another.

Abstract: A sensor system is described. The sensor system includes one or more sensor nodes. The sensor nodes are communicatively coupled to a server by way of a network. The sensor nodes may be communicatively coupled to the network by a cellular connection or a LoRa connection to a gateway.

Abstract: A laser welding head with movable mirrors may be used to perform welding operations, for example, with wobble patterns and/or seam finding/tracking and following. The movable mirrors provide a wobbling movement of one or more beams within a relatively small field of view, for example, defined by a scan angle of 1-2°. The movable mirrors may be galvanometer mirrors that are controllable by a control system including a galvo controller. The laser welding head may also include a diffractive optical element to shape the beam or beams being moved. The control system may also be used to control the fiber laser, for example, in response to the position of the beams relative to the workpiece and/or a sensed condition in the welding head such as a thermal condition proximate one of the mirrors.

Abstract: Secure circuitry detects a latency between when an interrupt occurred and when the interrupt was released in correspondence with handling of the interrupt. The secure circuitry detects an interval between consecutive occurrences of the interrupt. In response to either or both of the latency exceeding a latency limit and the interval exceeding an interval limit, the secure circuitry performs an action.
