  • Publication number: 20220350298
    Abstract: A build on-demand chassis with a universal bay system that can be assembled into different configurations to support different system requirements from end users includes positionable partitions and a bay support assembly for each set of devices. A controller communicates with a microcontroller unit (MCU) in each bay support assembly to determine a slot identifier and a type of device supported by the bay support assembly to provide greater flexibility in what configurations are possible. When a processor in the information handling system sends an instruction for a type of device, the controller knows the location and capabilities of the device and manages the communication.

  • Patent number: 11466678
    Abstract: A linear motor compressor including a compressor housing and a cylinder housing having a plurality of opposing compression chambers. A piston freely reciprocates within the cylinder housing using a linear electric motor. A piston position feedback control system provides adaptive current output as a function of position feedback and/or velocity feedback from the piston and/or the electric motor, to directly power and control the electric motor, wherein the piston reciprocates without assistance from a mechanical spring or other equivalent centering force.

  • Patent number: 11462812
    Abstract: A hybrid coupler for dividing an input electrical signal to produce first and second output electrical signals which are substantially out of phase, the hybrid coupler including an input port for receiving the input electrical signal, and an input line for coupling the input electrical signal to a slotline. The hybrid coupler further includes an output line for coupling the first and second output electrical signals to a first output port and a second output port, respectively. The output line has a junction with the slotline. The hybrid coupler further includes a co-planar waveguide electrically connected to said output line and having a first end and an opposing second end, and defining, at the second end, a sum port configured to divert common mode signals received at said first and second output ports to said second end. The slotline transitions into the first end of the co-planar waveguide.

  • Publication number: 20220252259
    Abstract: A method and apparatus, for improving the control and the efficiency of in-situ combustion (i.e. burning of oil spills atop bodies of water) of combustible waste materials on land or sea to cleanup such waste, that is also less complex than similar apparatuses, whereby the apparatus traverses over a surface containing combustible material, allowing for vortex flow incineration of the material to occur inside a combustion chamber, aided by a vortical flow of air which is controlled for greater combustion efficiency. Compared with current methods and apparatuses to cleanup similar waste, the present method requires minimal moving parts, is mobile, is low cost, is easy to construct, enables high-quality combustion, burns faster and more complete, produces low emissions, incinerates waste material on land and water, and mitigates the creation of combustion residue which thereby mitigates the adverse effects of such combustion residue that smothers ocean life.

  • Patent number: 11235635
    Abstract: An active suspension system is configured in a strut arrangement. The active suspension system comprises a hydraulic actuator and a hydraulic pump/electric motor assembly, wherein the actuator movement is preferably in lockstep with the hydraulic motor-pump and electric motor-generator combination. Torque in the electric motor is instantaneously controlled by a controller to create an immediate force change on the hydraulic actuator. The hydraulic actuator is configured so that it can be used as a strut whereby the actuator has sufficient structural rigidity to carry the applied suspension loads while capable of supplying damper forces in at least three quadrants of the force velocity graph of the suspension actuator operation. Embodiments disclosed include low cost active suspension systems for a MacPherson strut application.

  • Publication number: 20220028426
    Abstract: A video content collection system for equipping non-technical users with a content collection platform on a computing device having a camera, such as a mobile phone or tablet, that creates custom strategic video stories maximizing story-craft toward a particular aim and possibly having a positive effect on individuals involved in the stories. The platform allows for the creation of custom videos according to a selected template following a storytelling framework. The custom videos are compiled, potentially with release forms and a default arrangement following the storytelling framework and provided to a final content generation system to generate the final content and save it in a data store accessible to the computing device. The final content generation system, internally or externally to the computing device, performs editing tasks to return a final video or generates desired final content based on scoring of the custom video and processed data therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20220024392
    Abstract: The invention provides a system and apparatus to fill, transport and discharge up to 50 or more gallons of RV black water and/or grey water (sewage) in the bed of a pickup truck/RV tow vehicle without the use of wheels or attaching to the rear of the tow vehicle. Innovation is accomplished through the design of the tank which incorporates a main body with a bottom mounted inlet/outlet port, and uniquely designed drain hose management structure comprising a friction grip trough and locking hose rest, which facilitate the use of a standard 2? RV Compartment hose to fill or drain the tank. Further innovation is achieved by the system of keeping the tank stationary in the vehicle thus eliminating the lifting and pulling of a filled tank.

  • Patent number: 11198536
    Abstract: Described herein is a food holder including a multiple-panel, tapered sleeve that may include a forward panel, a rear panel, two front-side panels and two back-side panels that for an irregular shape. The multiple-panel sleeve includes a multiple-panel bottom member connected to the bottom edges of the forward and rear panels. The bottom member includes a foldline that allows the bottom member to project upwards into a space defined by the panels when the space between the forward and rear panels is reduced. The food holder includes a tear-away portion defined by a line of perforations which may be removed by a consumer to allow access to lower portions of the food product. The irregular, tapered shape and proportionality of the bottom member promote the structural integrity of the food holder.
