  • Patent number: 11414016
    Abstract: A step assembly for a tailgate of a vehicle, which includes a retractable rail secured to a housing located within the tailgate. The retractable rail is configured to extend from the housing and the tailgate when in a deployed state, and be entirely received within the housing and the tailgate when in a non-deployed state. A sliding stop device is positioned within the housing and connected to an end of the retractable rail. The stop device includes a tubular member having an aperture formed therein, and a movable arm located in the tubular member that is biased to extend outward from the aperture such that as the retractable rail is moved to the deployed state, the aperture of the sliding stop device is aligned with the opening of the housing, and the movable arm is engaged with the opening.

  • Patent number: 11416381
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for supporting web components associated with a document object model (DOM) corresponding to a data file in a web testing environment. A user interaction, relative to a web page or web application from which the DOM is rendered, is monitored in the web testing environment. The monitoring identifies a target element selected by the user that is referenced in a shadow DOM associated with the DOM. One or more parent shadow host elements of the DOM are identified relative to the target element. The one or more shadow host elements define a reduced path, with respect to a tree data structure representing the DOM and the shadow DOM, for linking a document object of the DOM to the target element. Indicia identifying the one or more shadow host elements as linking the document object of the DOM to the target element are recorded.

  • Patent number: 11417005
    Abstract: A depth camera assembly (DCA) for depth sensing of a local area. The DCA includes a polarized light generator, an imaging device, and a controller. The polarized light generator modulates one or more optical beams emitted from an illumination source to generate modulated light, and projects the modulated light into the local area as polarized light having a first polarization. The imaging device receives light from the local area, the received light including ambient light and a portion of the polarized light reflected from the local area. The imaging device reduces an intensity of the received light having polarization different from a second polarization to generate filtered light substantially composed of light of the second polarization, and detects the portion of the polarized light having the second polarization using the filtered light. The controller determines depth information for the local area based on the detected portion of the polarized light.

  • Patent number: 11412840
    Abstract: Disclosed is a toothbrush for cleaning teeth of a pet animal. The toothbrush of the present invention is an appropriate device for cleaning a dog's teeth by providing adequate lighting via the same toothbrush during the cleaning process. The lighting provides a halo-illumination lighting effect such that a 360-degree light encircles the tooth during cleaning. The use of halo-illumination allows a user to see top, bottom, and both sides of the dog's mouth in a particular region, thus providing the user sufficient information as to whether they are effectively performing teeth cleaning of the dog.

  • Patent number: 11414608
    Abstract: An ebullated bed hydroprocessing system is upgraded using a dual catalyst system that includes a heterogeneous catalyst and dispersed metal sulfide particles to hydroprocess opportunity feedstocks (i.e., lower quality heavy oils or lower quality feedstock blends) while maintaining or increasing the rate of production of converted products. The dual catalyst system improves the ability of the upgraded ebullated bed hydroprocessing system to accommodate and withstand negative effects of periodic use of opportunity feedstocks (e.g., without significantly increasing equipment fouling and/or sediment production). In some cases, an upgraded ebullated bed reactor using the dual catalyst system can hydroprocess opportunity feedstocks while decreasing equipment fouling and/or sediment production.
