  • Patent number: 11985924
    Abstract: An emitter outlet defining an ingress channel having a first volume and area, and having a first portion that is substantially perpendicular to a second portion located downstream of the first portion which causes fluid flowing through the ingress channel to make a first fluid velocity reducing turn, and a first opening located off of the second portion that causes at least a portion of the fluid flowing through the ingress channel to make a second fluid velocity reducing turn, and an outlet bath with a second volume and area that is larger than the first volume and area of the ingress channel so as to cause further pressure and/or velocity reduction of the fluid entering into the outlet bath. In addition, emitters, drip lines and various methods relating to such an emitter outlet configuration are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11983094
    Abstract: Embodiments improve software defect diagnosis. Analytic focus is automatically walked back from an initial symptomatic diagnostic context to a previous diagnostic context that is closer to underlying causes. Diagnosis may obtain diagnostic artifacts such as traces or dumps, extract diagnostic context, decompile executables, lookup likely causes based on symptoms, scan logs, and submit diagnostic context to software analysis services. An analysis service may perform static analysis, security testing, symptom-pair lookups, or antipattern scanning, for example, and may include a neural network or other machine learning model, for example. Root causes are culled from analysis results and identified to a software developer. Changes to mitigate the defect's impact are suggested in some cases. Thus, the software developer receives debugging leads without manually navigating through all the tool interfaces or unrelated details of diagnostic contexts.

  • Patent number: 11983582
    Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a wireless network controller authenticates a wireless receiver and transfers receiver instructions and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for wireless network slices to the wireless receiver. An item wirelessly transmits a network identifier (ID) and a product ID. The wireless receiver wirelessly detects the network ID and the product ID from the item at a geographic location. The receiver selects an API for a wireless network slice based on the receiver instructions and the network ID. The receiver transfers an API call to the wireless network slice. The wireless network slice selects a distributed Application (dAPP) based on the network ID, the product ID, and/or the geographic location for the item. The wireless network slice transfers the network ID, the product ID, and the geographic location for the item to selected dAPP.

  • Patent number: 11975247
    Abstract: A golf club head and golf club having large head dimensions, and large face characteristics, as well as unique mass property attributes driven by relationships not often considered in conventional club head design, to achieve a resistance to squaring the club head during a golf swing that is comfortable to the novice golfer, while increasing stability during off-center impacts and obtaining preferred launch characteristics. This is achieved in part via establishing a club head configuration and associated weight distribution to yield a center of gravity location that results in a preferred magnitude of Delta1 and Delta2 values, CG angle, moments of inertia, and associated ratios, relationships, and club head mass property characteristics influenced by these variables to achieve improved performance.
