Patent number: 11954405Abstract: An electronic device can implement a zero-latency digital assistant by capturing audio input from a microphone and using a first processor to write audio data representing the captured audio input to a memory buffer. In response to detecting a user input while capturing the audio input, the device can determine whether the user input meets a predetermined criteria. If the user input meets the criteria, the device can use a second processor to identify and execute a task based on at least a portion of the contents of the memory buffer.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: William F. Stasior, David A. Carson, Rohit Dasari, Yoon Kim

Patent number: 11511462Abstract: A system includes a dip tube, a feed line, and a check valve. The dip tube is inserted through an opening in a source of chemical precursor and into the chemical precursor in the source. A portion of the feed line is located in the dip tube. The feed line passes out of the dip tube. The chemical precursor is capable of flowing out of the source through the feed line in a downstream direction. The check valve is located in the portion of the feed line in the dip tube. The check valve permits the chemical precursor to pass substantially only in the downstream direction. The feed line is coupled to a transfer pump that draws the chemical precursor out of the source through the portion of the feed line in the dip tube.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Sealed Air Corporation (US)Inventors: George Bertram, David Carson, David Christianson, Kenneth John Mierzejewski, Mark H.

Publication number: 20220366601Abstract: An object orientation indicator for indicating the orientation of an object, such as the vertical positioning of an object to be inserted or being inserted into a surface. The object orientation indicator is configured to determine or indicate when an object being inserted into a surface parallel or non-parallel to the ground is vertically level, i.e. perpendicular to the ground. The object orientation indicator may also be configured to determine or indicate if a preexisting vertical object inserted into a surface parallel or non-parallel to the ground remains in its originally inserted orientation. The object orientation indicator may include a housing assembly and a display panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Charles F.

Publication number: 20220354753Abstract: A hydrogel-fabric composite for cosmetic and therapeutic applications. This application allows the shape retaining solidified gel structure or multi gel composite of a desired hydrogel or blend of hydrogels to disperse the active solutes within the gel more evenly while maintaining activity and then resulting in a set gel shape that conforms with an underlying fabric substrate. Specifically, having the active solutes dispersed within the gel provides an even concentration of active solutes and penetrates the skin over a set amount of time due to the concentration gradient. Further, the temperature constraints of active solute ingredients while still suspending them within the hydrogel for cosmetic use allow for adequate suspension and dissolution of active ingredients throughout the final gel product. Shape retaining Hydrogels, when used with specific active solutes, will remain translucent inferring the purity of the product.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Aldo Laghi, Nathaniel Vint, David Carson
