  • Patent number: 11912274
    Abstract: A system comprises a computer having a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to access sensor data of a first sensor of a vehicle while an adaptive cruise control feature of the vehicle is active, detect, based on the sensor data of the first sensor, a stationary object located along a path of travel of the vehicle, wherein the stationary object is located outside of a range of a second sensor of the vehicle, determine a presence of an intersection within a threshold distance of the stationary object that is along the path of travel of the vehicle, and responsive to a determination that the stationary object is a stopped vehicle of the intersection, adjust, by the adaptive cruise control feature, the speed of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230320718
    Abstract: Disclose herein are suture anchor constructs. The suture anchor constructs can include an anchor, a first suture, and a second suture. The anchor can include a post and a body. The body can define a central hole extending from a trailing end of the body along a central axis towards a leading end of the body. The first suture can have a first tail, a second tail, and a first intermediate potion located proximate the post. The second suture can have a third tail, a fourth tail, and a second intermediate portion secured to the post. The first, second, third, and fourth, tails can pass through the central hole.

  • Publication number: 20230316429
    Abstract: An activity management system is configured to allow users to access multimedia content where the multimedia content is divided into segments. While a user is viewing or interacting with the multimedia content, the user can submit one or more activities (e.g., comments, questions, replies, or reactions) using an interface. The system is operable to electronically link the activity provided by the user with the particular segment of multimedia content in which the activity was captured by the system. The system is also configured to throttle the number of activities that are displayed to a user for any given segment based on (1) viewers linked to the user (e.g., groups, social media groups, etc.), (2) viewers that influence the user, (3) viewers selected by the user, (4) viewers that cause the user to be engaged with the multimedia content, and (5) a threshold number of activities set by the viewer or the system.

  • Publication number: 20230303899
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for increasing wetting capability of a biomimetic polymer adhesive comprising the step of introducing plurality of phosphate moieties into said biomimetic polymer adhesive. In particular, the present disclosure relates a method to manufacture a biomimetic polymer adhesive with an increased wetting capability by inducing plurality of phosphate moieties by copolymerization of phosphate-containing monomer, such as monoacryloxyethyl phosphate (MAEP), together with other monomers, or by way of post-polymerization chemical derivertizations. The process and the product thereof are within the scope of this disclosure.

  • Patent number: 11645725
    Abstract: An activity management system is configured to allow users to access multimedia content where the multimedia content is divided into segments. While a user is viewing or interacting with the multimedia content, the user can submit one or more activities (e.g., comments, questions, replies, or reactions) using an interface. The system is operable to electronically link the activity provided by the user with the particular segment of multimedia content in which the activity was captured by the system. The system is also configured to throttle the number of activities that are displayed to a user for any given segment based on (1) viewers linked to the user (e.g., groups, social media groups, etc.), (2) viewers that influence the user, (3) viewers selected by the user, (4) viewers that cause the user to be engaged with the multimedia content, and (5) a threshold number of activities set by the viewer or the system.

  • Patent number: 10923872
    Abstract: An example tool for disconnecting a connector from a circuit board includes: a first arm having first handle and a first notch, where the first notch is for engaging a first connector connected to the circuit board; and a second arm having a second handle and a second notch, where the second notch is for engaging a second connector connected to a cable. A hinge connects the first arm to the second arm. The hinge is biased so that, when the tool is not in use, the first handle and the second handle are farther apart than are the first notch and the second notch.

  • Patent number: 10402918
    Abstract: An activity management system is configured to allow users to access multimedia content where the multimedia content is divided in to segments. While a user is viewing or interacting with the multimedia content, the user can submit one or more activities (e.g., comments, questions, replies, or reactions) using a graphical user interface. The system is operable to electronically link the activity provided by the user with the particular segment of multimedia content in which the activity was captured by the system. The system is also configured to determine a sentiment score for particular multimedia content, one or more segments of the particular multimedia content, a user, a group of users, or an organization. The sentiment score may be related to a general mood (e.g., confused, happy, bored) of the user when viewing one or more segments of particular multimedia content.
