Patent number: 10806048Abstract: A secure electronic equipment rack allows electronic equipment to be hung vertically to save space for deep components. This is done by providing a vertical rack apparatus with horizontal side panels on which components are mounted vertically. The side panels of the rack are shorter than the depth of the components to be mounted on, to, or within the panels, thus allowing space to be saved. The rack can be expanded based on user's equipment growth. The apparatus can be mounted on a wall or on a standard EIA relay rack. The apparatus has cable management for equipment that fits into wire channels and allows having a patch panel mounted without taking up a “U” space in the apparatus itself. The apparatus can include a built-in level for ease of mounting, and an integrated earth grounding stud.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: BlackHawk Labs LLCInventors: Tod A.

Patent number: 10801640Abstract: An overfill-prevention valve system includes a testing mechanism, operable by a user from the inlet end of the drop tube, which can be used to verify proper valve function without actually filling the storage tank. The testing mechanism allows the user to actuate the valve manually using a test probe, such as by elevating a float to simulate a full storage tank. The testing mechanism may be located upstream of the valve to facilitate the testing operation without interfering with the valve body. The mechanism may further provide non-contact functionality, such as with magnetic actuators on either side of the drop tube wall, to eliminate a potential test mechanism leak points. The test probe used to actuate the test mechanism may be shaped to define a desired rotational position at the test location within the drop tube, ensuring proper rotational alignment of the magnetic actuators.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2019Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Franklin Fueling Systems, LLCInventors: Justin F.

Patent number: 10804919Abstract: A time-interleaved SAR-ADC employs calibrated SAR-ADC circuits to convert sampled voltage levels into serial digital data. Variable delay clock circuits synchronize clock signals received at the respective SAR-ADCs to sampling points of analog serial data. IC and environmental fluctuations cause delay in the variable delay clock circuits to skew the clock signals. A calibrated SAR-ADC detects changes to the delays in the variable delay clock circuits. By delaying a first clock signal in the variable delay clock circuit, and comparing a phase of the delayed clock signal to a phase-shifted clock signal having a known phase shift relative to the first clock signal, a change in the delay of the variable delay clock circuit can be detected as a phase difference. Based on an indication of a phase difference, a delay control signal is generated to control the delay in the variable delay clock.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Hayden Cranford, Michael Raymond Trombley

Patent number: 10805624Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video decoding. In some examples, an apparatus includes receiving circuitry and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry decodes prediction information of a current block in a current picture from a coded video bitstream. The prediction information is indicative of an affine model in a merge mode. Further, the processing circuitry obtains, from a buffer, motion information of bottom locations in a neighboring block that is adjacent of the current block in the current picture. Then the processing circuitry determines, based on the motion information of the bottom locations in the neighboring block, parameters of the affine model that is used to transform between the block and a reference block in a reference picture that has been reconstructed. Further, the processing circuitry reconstructs at least a sample of the current block based on the affine model.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Tencent America LLCInventors: Xiaozhong Xu, Shan Liu, Xiang Li
