  • Patent number: 11944130
    Abstract: A vaporizer device includes various modular components. The vaporizer device includes a first subassembly. The first subassembly includes a cartridge connector that secures a vaporizer cartridge to the vaporizer device and includes at least two receptacle contacts that electrically communicate with the vaporizer cartridge. The vaporizer device includes a second subassembly. The second subassembly includes a skeleton defining a rigid tray that retains at least a power source. The vaporizer device also includes a third subassembly. The third subassembly includes a plurality of charging contacts that supply power to the power source, and an end cap that encloses an end of the vaporizer device.

  • Patent number: 8688617
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices using an algorithm that consists of scoring the bits in the data stream with a periodicity of N, where N is the word-length in bits, and then selecting as the most significant bit the one which receives the highest score after some large number of samples are disclosed. The condition under which bit bk receives a point depends on the binary format.

  • Publication number: 20110289084
    Abstract: Data objects are related by comparing attributes of data objects that belong to different clusters and determining that the data objects are an approximate match based on the comparison. Data elements corresponding to assignments of an identifier are generated, and the data elements are stored in a grouping.

  • Publication number: 20110289094
    Abstract: Media content databases are integrated by comparing metadata from records and determining that the metadata are a match based on the comparison. Alphanumeric strings are generated and assigned to the metadata, and the alphanumeric strings and fields of the records are stored in a data structure.

  • Patent number: 5115109
    Abstract: A system used for monitoring the flow and speed of traffic has a strip member (1) comprising electrical contacts (3, 7) on distinct layers (2, 6) separated by a dielectric spacer layer (4), such that, when a vehicle drives over the strip, the weight of the vehicle on the strip closes the contact through holes (5) in the dielectric spacer to cause a monitoring and/or timing means to be activated and subsequently deactivated. The monitoring and/or timing means is programmable to distinguish vehicle types and between a plurality of vehicles passing over the strip at the same time.
