  • Patent number: 11935190
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a mapping application that has a novel way of displaying traffic congestion along roads in the map. The mapping application in some embodiments defines a traffic congestion representation to run parallel to its corresponding road portion when the map is viewed at a particular zoom level, and defines a traffic congestion representation to be placed over its corresponding road portion when the map is viewed at another zoom level. The mapping application in some embodiments differentiates the appearance of the traffic congestion representation that signifies heavy traffic congestion from the appearance of the traffic congestion representation that signifies moderate traffic congestion. In some of these embodiments, the mapping application does not generate a traffic congestion representation for areas along a road that are not congested.

  • Publication number: 20240079825
    Abstract: Connectors for use with high-speed signals. Mating connectors may include interlocking components that control the mated position of the connectors such that wipe distance can be reduced. These components may be compact such that they can be integrated into connectors with standardized exterior dimensions. They may be integrated into mating guides of the mating connectors. For one of the mating connectors, such a component may be a locking member disposed in and curving out of its guide such that the locking member mates with a matching feature of a component in the guide of the other connector. As the connectors are secured by these components, the conductive elements may be shorter than the lengths required by standards, which reduces the stub and therefore increases signal integrity. Such a configuration provides higher signal integrity at higher speeds, while conforming to standards that constrain mating and mounting interfaces.

  • Publication number: 20240072494
    Abstract: A connector for use with high-speed signals. The connector includes a connector subassembly having conductors disposed in groups and a shielding shell at least partially encircling each group. Each conductor includes a mating end and a mounting end opposite the mating end. The shielding shell includes openings that expose contact surfaces of the conductors at the ends. The shielding shell is formed by attaching a second shell part to a first shell part. The first shell part has plateaus and valleys, and the second shell part is attached to the first shell part at the valleys, such that tubular structures are formed. The shielding shell includes contact surfaces disposed on the same planes with the contact surfaces of the conductors at the ends, respectively. Such a configuration meets signal integrity requirements in connectors designed for 64 Gbps and beyond, while conforming to a standard that constrains mating and mounting interfaces.

  • Patent number: 10895281
    Abstract: The invention relates to universal machine parts, and more particularly to a curved groove ball bearing without a retainer, which can solve the problems in the prior at such as high pendulating frequency and small amplitude. For the bearing, an inner ring and an outer ring are respectively provided with a first curved groove and a second curved groove, where “peaks” and “valleys” of the first curved groove are respectively the same as those of the second curved groove in number. The second curved groove is filled with steel balls, and a retainer for fixing the relative positions of the steel balls is removed, increasing the amplitude and reducing the pendulating frequency.

  • Patent number: 9970484
    Abstract: Disclosed is a curved trench ball bearing, which includes an outer ring 1, a set of steel balls 2, a set of retainers 3 and an inner ring 4. The raceways of outer ring 1 and inner ring 4 are used for inlaying steel balls. At least one of them is “S”-shaped curve arc raceway end to end, the other is linear or “S”-shaped curve arc raceway. The number of the “peak” and the number of the “valley” of the curve arc raceway are equal to or an integer times of the number of steel balls. By means of this structure, a bearing can achieve the displacement of reciprocating rectilinear motion while rotating, thereby simplifying a mechanical structure of a kneading roller.

  • Patent number: 9631942
    Abstract: For a device that runs a mapping application, a method for providing maneuver indicators along a route of a map. The maneuver indicators are arrows that identify the direction and orientation of a maneuver. A maneuver arrow may be selected and displayed differently from unselected maneuver arrows. Maneuver arrows may be selected automatically based on a user's current location. The mapping application transitions between maneuver arrows and provides an animation for the transition. Complex maneuvers may be indicated by multiple arrows, providing a more detailed guidance for a user of the mapping application.
