  • Patent number: 10808975
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a flash tank, a medium temperature low side heat exchanger, a low temperature low side heat exchanger, a first compressor, a second compressor, and an ejector. The flash tank stores a refrigerant. The medium temperature low side heat exchanger uses the refrigerant from the flash tank to cool a space proximate the medium temperature low side heat exchanger to a first temperature. The low temperature low side heat exchanger uses the refrigerant from the flash tank to cool a space proximate the low temperature low side heat exchanger to a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature. The first compressor compresses the refrigerant from the low temperature low side heat exchanger. The second compressor compresses the refrigerant from the medium temperature low side heat exchanger. The ejector directs a mixture of the refrigerant from the first compressor and the refrigerant from the second compressor to the low temperature low side heat exchanger during a defrost cycle.

  • Patent number: 10812890
    Abstract: An audio system includes a transducer assembly, an audio sensor, and a controller. The transducer assembly is coupled to a back of an auricle of an ear of the user. The transducer assembly vibrates the auricle over a frequency range to cause the auricle to create an acoustic pressure wave in accordance with vibration instructions. The acoustic sensor detects the acoustic pressure wave at an entrance of the ear of the user. The controller dynamically adjusts a frequency response model based in part on the detected acoustic pressure wave, updates the vibration instructions using the adjusted frequency response model, and provides the updated vibration instructions to the transducer assembly.

  • Patent number: 10813122
    Abstract: A base station schedules a user equipment (UE) for uplink air link resources, e.g., unlicensed spectrum PUSCH resources, corresponding to one or more slots and, in some embodiments, at least one mini-slot. There may be, and sometimes are gaps between two scheduled slots and/or between a scheduled slot and a scheduled mini-slot. Different uplink air link resources corresponding to a schedule slot or mini-slot may, and sometimes do, use different set of frequencies. The base station generates and sends to the UE a single UL grant which grants uplink air link resources corresponding to the composite of resource allocations corresponding to the one or more slots and, in some embodiments, at least one mini-slot. The single UL grant may, and sometimes does, communicates gap information and frequency information.

  • Patent number: 10812576
    Abstract: A Top of Rack (TOR) switch operating with a Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) platform is implemented using commodity switch hardware and is configured to maintain or retrieve flow state information for incoming data flows in a load balancer. In one embodiment, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) informs a user mode container flow state information for each incoming data flow. The user mode container informs the ASIC of any affected flows that may result pursuant to a modified distributed system (e.g., added, updated, or removed servers). In other embodiments, the ASIC may utilize remote direct memory access (RDMA) to retrieve flow state information maintained by a remote device or may utilize the RDMA to retrieve network address translation (NAT) information for incoming traffic. In each of the implementations, the integrity of the load balancing system is maintained when the distributed system of servers changes.
