Patent number: 11839810Abstract: A game controller for a mobile device, the game controller having a first handle, a bridge, a first spring mechanism, and a first latch mechanism. The first handle is configured to contact and support a mobile device and includes a user-accessible, first hardware interface on a main body portion of the first handle. The bridge is in sliding engagement with the first handle. The bridge and the first handle are configured for the main body portion of the first handle to translate in a retraction direction toward a midline of the bridge and into a retracted configuration and also to translate in an extension direction away from the midline of the bridge into an extended configuration. The first spring mechanism is configured to bias the first handle toward the retracted configuration. The first latch mechanism is configured to temporarily lock the bridge in the extended configuration.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: BACKBONE LABS, INC.Inventors: Maneet Singh Khaira, Atsushi Shirata, Francois Pierre René Dransart, Gregory Robert Cerny, Wei-Jun Wang, Jon Lake

Publication number: 20230250006Abstract: A method of manufacturing a glass article includes flowing molten glass through a first vessel to a downstream second vessel, the molten glass flowing through a conduit connecting the first vessel to the second vessel, the first vessel and the conduit defining a continuous free volume above a free surface of the molten glass extending into at least a portion of the conduit. The method further includes venting a first atmosphere contained in the free volume to a second atmosphere external to the first vessel through a vent tube connected to the conduit proximate a top of the conduit and above the free surface, the vent tube extending downward from the conduit to a distal end of the vent tube along a longitudinal axis at an angle a relative to horizontal and providing fluid communication between the first atmosphere and the second atmosphere.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2021Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Laura Rose VanCott Adkins, Gilbert De Angelis, Wade Leroy Harrington, Juan Camilo Isaza, Pierre Rene Joseph Laronze

Patent number: 11534761Abstract: Electroacoustic device that includes a body, an electrode to be electrically powered, named hot electrode, and an electrode to be electrically grounded, named ground electrode. The body includes a piezoelectric part or the electroacoustic device further including a piezoelectric part different from the body. The hot electrode includes a hot track spiraling around a spiral axis. The radial step between two consecutive coils of the hot track decreasing radially from the spiral axis. The hot electrode and the ground electrode are arranged on the piezoelectric part such as to define a wave transducer configured to generate a focalised ultrasonic vortex propagating in the body and/or, when a fluid medium is acoustically coupled with the electroacoustic device, in the fluid medium.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2018Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignees: UNIVERSITE DE LILLE, ECOLE CENTRALE DE LILLE, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE, SORBONNE UNIVERSITEInventors: Michaël Aymeric Cyril Baudoin, Olivier Khalil Nizar Bou Matar-Lacaze, Antoine Jean-Pierre René Riaud, Jean-Louis Pierre Thomas

Patent number: 10590717Abstract: A stress-free centralizer system for wellbore tubulars having a centralizer portion with hollow vanes or solid vanes. An injectable material can be configured to harden at ambient or elevated temperatures and installed into the hollow vanes while coating a portion of the inner surface of the centralizer portion. Alternatively, a swellable encapsulation and shape shifting material can be used instead of the injectable material. Additionally, primers and adhesives can be used with the centralizer portion. Both materials when hardened or swollen can be configured to withstand temperatures and pressures within a wellbore for twenty-four hours without melting or degrading. The centralizer portion can simultaneously prevent axial movement and rotational movement while installed on the wellbore tubular, distribute load evenly around the centralizer portion, and provide cathodic protection to the wellbore tubular without using a stop collar with screws.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: ALASKAN ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.Inventors: Lee Morgan Smith, Alf K.
