  • Publication number: 20240147978
    Abstract: In A fishing reel including a housing, a shaft supported in the housing and configured to rotate relative to the housing around a shaft axis extended in a longitudinal direction of the shaft, and a spool fixed with the shaft to rotate with the shaft around the shaft axis for winding and unwinding a fishing line. The fishing reel also includes a stator fixed with the housing, where the spool is configured to rotate with the shaft relative to the stator and the housing, a stator magnet that is an electromagnet fixed with the stator, a rotor including a first rotor plate fixed with the shaft to rotate with the shaft around the shaft axis, and a first rotor magnet fixed with the first rotor plate. The stator magnet is configured to receive an electrical current and generate a magnetic field from the stator to the first rotor magnet.

  • Patent number: 11946000
    Abstract: A hydrocarbon cracker stream is combined with recycle content pyrolysis oil to form a combined cracker stream and the combined cracker stream is cracked in a cracker furnace to provide an olefin-containing effluent. The r-pyoil can be fed to the cracker feed. More specifically the-pyoil is present in said feedstock in an amount of not more than 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the feedstock.

  • Patent number: 11945998
    Abstract: Processes and systems for making recycle content hydrocarbons, including olefins, from recycled waste material. Recycle waste material may be pyrolyzed to form recycle content pyrolysis oil composition (r-pyoil), at least a portion of which may then be cracked to form a recycle content olefin composition (r-olefin). In some cases, the pyrolysis and cracking may be carried out in different sections of the same furnace, or in different furnaces in the same cracker facility. Pyrolysis conducted in a furnace may or may not require retrofitting a furnace previously used to crack alkanes to form olefins.

  • Patent number: 11939534
    Abstract: A composition having a recycle content value is obtained by reacting a recycle content feedstock to make a recycle content alpha olefin or by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value applied to an alpha olefin composition. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or in an allotment obtained by an alpha olefin manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste and/or pyrolysis of recycled waste and/or in thermal steam cracking of recycle content pyoil.

  • Publication number: 20240040174
    Abstract: A content server may receive from a user device a request for a content asset and may send to the playback device a permit for accessing the content asset. The permit may be used by the content server in order to enforce a concurrency restriction, or a number of concurrent playbacks of one or more content assets desired or permitted by the playback device. In response to receiving a request for a content asset segment associated with a content asset, the content server may determine whether the number of permits currently granted to the playback device exceeds the number of desired or permitted accesses by the playback device, or a group of playback devices, to the content asset or one or more content assets. If so, then the content server may discontinue sending to the playback device any further content asset segments associated with that content asset.

  • Publication number: 20230381053
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a walker equipped with one or more sensors, an onboard controller, powered wheels and associated motor controllers. The walker can sense its distance from the user and activate the powered wheels when commanded by the controller. The controller can execute programming including an automatic feedback control algorithm that regulates the distance between the walker frame and the user. In this manner, the walker automatically follows the user, keeping the user from having to expend energy to pull the walker along. The walker can then be utilized by the user solely for balance and support.

  • Patent number: 6997882
    Abstract: The present invention comprises novel methods and devices for monitoring a subject by acquiring reliable and accurate 6-DOF data regarding the subject, and by using those data to obtain information about the subject's movements in three-dimensional space. Information regarding the subject's movements is, optionally, combined with information regarding the subject's physiological status so that comprehensive knowledge regarding the subject may be acquired by those monitoring the subject.
