  • Patent number: 11027907
    Abstract: A container having a full perimeter lid pressure or tensioning mechanism. The container can also have a removable temperature sensor to monitor an internal compartment temperature. A pressure regulator is also disclosed to regulate a pressure differential and vacuum of the container in order to control an amount of vacuum sealing of the lid to the container.

  • Patent number: 11019021
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described that enable users to interact and share content through a social network application and/or service with other users. A social networking system may receive status information (e.g., a heartbeat) associated with a first account, where the status information includes first location information and/or first activity information associated with the first account, and may determine a status signal based at least in part on a context associated with the first account and the status information. The social networking system may determine a status associated with the first account, where the status includes second location information and/or second activity information associated with the user device which is less specific than the first location information and first activity information. The social network system may send the status to a second account.

  • Patent number: 9495233
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided methods, systems, mechanisms, techniques, and apparatuses for implementing an error framework for a microprocessor and for a system having such a microprocessor. The error framework may alternatively be implemented by a hardware component, such as a peripheral device for integration into a system. In one embodiment, an error framework of a microprocessor or a hardware component includes an error detection unit to capture an error within the hardware component; a state detection unit to capture error context information when the error is detected within the hardware component; an error event definition unit to define a unique error event representing a combination of the error and the error context information; and a configuration unit to define an error event response based on the unique error event.
