  • Patent number: 11964807
    Abstract: Packaging may include a base box and a lid having a tamper-evident seal. The tamper-evident seal may include a paper substrate having a first adhesive portion configured to attach to a side panel of the base box, a second adhesive portion configured to attach to a second side panel of the lid. The first and second adhesive portions may be disposed on opposing sides of the paper substrate, and a tab configured to be accessible on an exterior of a package when the tamper-evident seal is applied may be a part of the paper substrate. When the tab is pulled with sufficient force, the paper substrate tears such that the first adhesive portion and the second adhesive portion remain fixed to the first and second side panels, respectively, while the remainder of the paper substrate tears free so that the packaging may be opened.

  • Publication number: 20240097319
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a first set of antennas, a second set of antennas, and a slip ring disposed between the first set of antennas and the second set of antennas. The slip ring may include a waveguide that provides a pathway for signals transmitted between the first set of and the second set of antennas. A diameter and a length of the waveguide may enable efficient transmission of the signals between the sets of antennas by reducing signal attenuation. Additionally, gaps between the sets of antennas and the slip ring may be sized to reduce radiation emitted from the electronic device. The gaps between the sets of antennas and the slip ring may enable wireless data transfer between the sets of antennas.

  • Publication number: 20240070526
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable variable and dynamic feedback to electronic activities by receiving event data and utilizing a feedback machine learning model to predict an average feedback attribute and an average feedback variability attribute based on the event data. A feedback data entry is added to a user profile to store the average feedback attribute and the average feedback variability attribute. A new event and a new event attribute are received for the user profile, and a feedback probability distribution for the new event is generated based on the new event attribute, the average feedback attribute, and the average feedback variability attribute. A new event feedback is generated for the new event based on a random selection from the feedback probability distribution and is output to a computing device associated with the user profile.

  • Publication number: 20140375005
    Abstract: A carry-and-transport device includes a caster unit and a straight-wheel unit. A control unit which has a sleeve and the sleeve is located corresponding to the straight-wheel unit of the carry-and-transport device. A movable frame is connected to the sleeve and has an auxiliary caster unit connected to the lower end thereof. The auxiliary caster unit normally located above the ground and does not contact the ground. A switch unit is connected to the top of the movable frame so as to control the movable frame to move upward and downward. When the carry-and-transport device turns or makes a U-turn, the auxiliary caster unit touches the ground by operation of the control unit so as to reduce the turning radius of the carry-and-transport device.
