  • Publication number: 20240091634
    Abstract: A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a processor that performs operations including receiving an actuation profile comprising one or more actuation thresholds responsive to a detection of a triggering event during a gaming session of a video game, configuring the sensor according to the one or more actuation thresholds, receiving, from the sensor, a signal indicating a depression range of the button, comparing the depression range to the one or more actuation thresholds of the actuation profile, and generating an actuation state when the depression range exceeds an actuation threshold of the one or more actuation thresholds. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240065641
    Abstract: A monitor mount is configured to detachably secure a first monitor and/or a second monitor individually or concurrently. The first monitor is further configured to be detachably secured to the second monitor independently from either monitor being secured to the monitor mount. The second monitor includes a mounting area in which the first monitor is mounted, and the first monitor and the second monitor are configured such that the first monitor is interchangeably insertable into the mounting area from a first lateral direction and a second lateral direction that is opposite to the first lateral direction. Accordingly, the second monitor includes a dual-entry feature that enables the first monitor to be inserted from either lateral side of the second monitor.

  • Patent number: 10588992
    Abstract: An aerosol device having a bowl with a bottom defining a drain, and a side wall extending from the bottom to a rim. A nozzle is disposed within the bowl. The nozzle defines a chamber and an outlet orifice directed toward the side wall of the bowl. The aerosol device includes a liquid container fluidly coupled to the nozzle via a first conduit having an outlet tip disposed within the chamber of the nozzle and a second conduit connecting a source of pressurized gas to the chamber of the nozzle. The outlet tip is in the form of a tube defining elongated slots communicating from inside the tube to outside the tube, the slots each having a width defined between two parallel tube surfaces. The aerosol device generates submicron liquid droplets, and is suitable for disinfecting porous articles in an enclosed volume.

  • Patent number: 8983801
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for transforming a CAD model of an object between engineering states includes generating a first reference geometry to represent a first engineering state. A parametric CAD model of the object may be generated to represent the object in the first engineering state by constructing the parametric CAD model as having dependence on the first reference geometry. A second reference geometry may be generated to represent a second engineering state. The parametric CAD model may be regenerated to represent the object in the second engineering state by replacing the first reference geometry with the second reference geometry.
