The first lateral section includes a first lateral projection projecting laterally inwardly away from an inner surface of the support bracket to form a first contact surface facing towards the first face of the cushion and a second lateral projection projecting laterally inwardly away from the inner surface of the support bracket to form a second contact surface facing towards the second face of the cushion. A first portion of the cushion is always in contact with the first contact surface and an opposing second portion of the cushion is always in contact with the second contact surface.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to an audio system that performs equalization of audio signals based on one or more diffuse field head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) and device-specific data. User-specific data and device-specific data (i.e., transducer-specific data) are applied to an acoustic model to predict an acoustic response for a user. An equalization filter is then determined using the acoustic response and the one or more diffuse field HRTFs. The equalization filter is applied to a processed version of an audio signal to create a modified version of the audio signal. The modified version of the audio signal is presented to the user via a transducer array of the audio system. The audio system can further include a microphone assembly that reduces the Helmholtz resonance effect.

Abstract: Embodiments herein are generally directed to a flexible pouch for holding a liquid. The pouch includes a front portion and a back portion defining a compartment, a fitment and a frangible seal. The fitment has a body with a pair of wings extending outwardly from a center portion. The center portion has a spout. The front portion, the fitment and the back portion are joined together by a top seal. The frangible seal join the front portion and back portion beneath the fitment. The frangible seal has one end positioned in a portion of the top seal under one of the pair of wings and another end positioned in a portion of the top seal under another of the pair of wings to separate the spout from the contents in the compartment.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to a method, apparatus and system for the evaporation of produced water and dirty water from oil and gas production and other dirty water sources. The evaporation system may consist of a portable pond embodied in an Above Ground Storage Tank (AST) system and a fluid projection system which may be controlled and employ optimized operating conditions to maximize the evaporation of produced water under varying meteorological and chemical condition.

Abstract: This application relates to a distributed software-defined network (“DSDN”) for dynamically configuring and managing a wireless communication network. A plurality of DSDN nodes are connected to each other via a plurality of communication paths. Each communication path directly connects two DSDN nodes. Each DSDN node can provide DSDN configurations across diverse and disparate networks by normalizing its data plane network traffic through translation and packet encapsulation. Furthermore, the DSDN node can provide an architecture tolerant of network interruptions and network system fluctuations. For example, in the case of any one of the DSDN node's network interruptions from other DSDN nodes, the DSDN can provide network reconfiguration using network configuration rules stored in a control plane of each DSDN node.

Abstract: A work request interface receives work request data for a power generation system. The work request data includes a work request having data characterizing equipment of the power generation system and a first state of the equipment. The work request interface processes the work request to modify at least one field in the work request to provide a standardized work request. The standardized work request includes data characterizing operations needed to change a state of the equipment from the first state to a second state. A work order generator receives the standardized work request and determines a priority of the standardized work request. The work order generator determines a mode of operation of the power generation system needed to change the state of the equipment from the first state to the second state and generates a set of work orders for the work request.

Abstract: A method for making a solventless polyorganosiloxane pellet is disclosed. The pellet is comprised of a polyorganosilicate resin and a polyorganosiloxane gum. The pellet is useful for making silicone pressure sensitive adhesive compositions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing emotional care in a session between a user and conversational agent. A first group of images comprising one or more images associated with the user may be received in the session. A user profile may be obtained. A first group of textual descriptions may be generated from the first group of images based at least on emotion information in the user profile. A first memory record may be created based at least on the first group of images and the first group of textual descriptions. A second group of images may be received in the session to generate a second group of textual descriptions from the second group of images based at least on the emotion information in the user profile. A second memory record may be created based at least on the second group of images and the second group of textual descriptions.

Abstract: An inflation electronic control module for a tire inflation system is described. The inflation electronic control module may be configured to initiate a warning that indicates a problem with a vehicle tire based on tire inflation fill events and collected fill event data. Automatic tire inflation and data recording systems including an inflation electronic control module are further described. The control module may include an electronic control board configured for recording a log of fill event data for tire inflation fill events, the electronic control board being configured for wireless transmission of fill event data to a remote computer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for partly isolating a target biological structure. The device may include a main body comprising a front face and a rear face, the main body having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end may be arcuate in a first state and may be substantially planar in a second state. The device may further include one or more balloons disposed on the distal end of the main body. Each of the one or more balloons is deflated in the first state and each of the one or more balloons is inflated in the second state. The distal end of the main body is configured to deform to be substantially planar when each of the one or more balloons are inflated in the second state.
