  • Patent number: 12350035
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods determine one or more gait parameters using acceleration readings generated by an accelerometer coupled to a user. Gait parameters determined by various embodiments may include step length, step width, step time, single limb support time, or double limb support time. The accelerometer may be coupled to one of the user's arms. Exemplary systems may comprise an accelerometer, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable medium (NTCRM). The processor may process acceleration readings from the accelerometer according to instructions stored on the NTCRM to determine the one or more gait parameters. The processor may communicate the one or more gait parameters to a receiving device. Some embodiments of the system may function as self-contained units and some embodiments may present information corresponding to gait parameters or recommendations regarding gait.

  • Patent number: 12350851
    Abstract: A razor includes one or more blades that are directly or indirectly heated by RF energy. A control circuit is connected to and operates a high frequency (HF) generator and a HF power amplifier (HFPA) for generating radio frequency (RF) energy throughout a range of controllable power levels. The generated RF energy is guided by a wave guide from the HFPA to a resonance chamber (i.e., band pass filter cavity). The RF energy is radiated from the resonance chamber towards the one or more blades which absorb the RF energy, thereby causing the temperature of the blades to increase. An energy source provides the electric current required for operating the control circuit, the HF generator and the HFPA. In another embodiment, the RF energy is radiated from the resonance chamber towards a heating element that increases in temperature and heats the blades by thermal conduction.

  • Patent number: 12351708
    Abstract: Described herein are polymer compositions including an a functionalized polyolefin, an aliphatic polyamide, and a glass fiber, where the weight ratio of the functionalized polyolefin to the total weight of the aliphatic polyamide and the functionalized polyolefin in the polymer composition (“polyolefin weight ratio”) is from 55% to 95%. It was surprisingly discovered that the polymer compositions had excellent dielectric performance and improved mechanical performance, relative to corresponding polymer compositions. Due to the excellent dielectric performance and increased mechanical performance, the polymer composition can be desirably incorporated into mobile electronic device applications.

  • Patent number: 12356553
    Abstract: Methods and systems for low-force, low-temperature thermocompression bonding. The present application teaches new methods and structures for three-dimensional integrated circuits, in which cold thermocompression bonding is used to provide reliable bonding. To achieve this, reduction and passivation steps are preferably both used to reduce native oxide on the contact metals and to prevent reformation of native oxide, preferably using atmospheric plasma treatments. Preferably the physical compression height of the elements is set to be only enough to reliably achieve at least some compression of each bonding element pair, compensating for any lack of flatness. Preferably the thermocompression bonding is performed well below the melting point. This not only avoids the deformation of lower levels which is induced by reflow techniques, but also provides a steep relation of force versus z-axis travel, so that a drastically-increasing resistance to compression helps to regulate the degree of thermocompression.

  • Patent number: 12356192
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate an exchange of messages between an access point and a station, wherein the access point requests a unique identifier that meet certain requirements of a unique identifier configuration from the station. The station initiates a secure connection with the access point prior to associating with the access point. The station may either respond with a message declining to provide a unique identifier or respond with a message including a unique identifier, along with a response unique identifier configuration, to be used by the access point for the station via the secure connection. The response from the station may include additional limitations on the use of the unique identifier by the access point. The access point may enforce different policies against the station depending upon how the station responds to the unique identifier request.

  • Patent number: 12355758
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a request to execute, via a first user device, a secure operation with a computing system may be detected (e.g., where the first user device satisfies a proximity condition with respect to a second user device). Authentication data corresponding to a single use token may be retrieved from the second user device based on (i) the request and (ii) the proximity condition being satisfied (e.g., where the single use token corresponds to static information associated with an account used to perform secure operations). The authentication data corresponding to the single use token may be provided to the computing system. An indication that the secure operation has been authorized may be received based on a verification of the authentication data corresponding to the single use token. The secure operation with the computing system may be executed based on the indication being received.
