Patent number: 11165131Abstract: Implementations for heat structure for thermal mitigation are described. The described heat structures, for instance, provide a multi-layered structure that optimizes heat spreading and dissipation, as well as wireless performance of wireless devices. A heat structure, for instance, is installed internally in a wireless device adjacent various internal components to absorb heat generated by the components, and to dissipate the heat. According to various implementations, a heat structure is implemented as a thermally conductive layer surrounded by layers of electrically conductive material. Electrically conductive vias can be formed that traverse the thermally conductive layer and form an electrical connection between different electrically conductive layers to mitigate current flow in the thermally conductive layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Wei Xin, Martin Rabindra Pais, MD Rashidul Islam

Patent number: 11162330Abstract: A system and apparatus for treating and disposing of produced water in conjunction with flared gas, thereby avoiding problems associated with injecting produced water back into subsurface strata. The system is installed at or near the wellhead where produced water being treated is at a higher temperatures. Produced water is treated with ozone injection in a scrubber with heat applied through a flare gas field burner, which uses field gas from oilfield operations. A wet scrubber unit with scrubber packing is used to clean emissions. A produced water pump is used to circulate produced water, and pump produced water through spray nozzles in the scrubber unit for use as the wet scrubbing agent. As produced water evaporates, evaporated salts and solids are continuously removed from the evaporator/scrubber unit by appropriate means, such as an auger system.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: HYDROZONIX, LLCInventor: Mark Patton

Patent number: 11163845Abstract: In an example embodiment, position bias is addressed by introducing an inverse propensity weight into a loss function used to train a machine-learned model. This inverse propensity weight essentially increases the weight of candidates in the training data that were presented lower in a list of candidates. This achieves the benefit of counteracting the position bias and increases the effectiveness of the machine-learned model in generating scores for future candidates. In a further example embodiment, a function is generated for the inverse propensity weight based on responses to contact requests from recruiters. In other words, while the machine learned-model may factor in both the likelihood that a recruiter will want to contact a candidate and the likelihood that a candidate will respond to such a contact, the function generated for the inverse propensity weight will be based only on training data where the candidate actually responded to a contact.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Dan Liu, Daniel Sairom Krishnan Hewlett, Qi Guo

Patent number: 11160483Abstract: An electrode system includes an electrode, a connector, and a cable with an in-line radio-frequency filter module comprising resistors and inductors without any deliberately added capacitance. The resistors are arranged in an alternating series of resistors and inductors, preferably with resistors at both outer ends, and connected electrically in series. The in-line module is located at a specific location along the wire, chosen through computer modeling and real-world testing for minimum transfer of received RF energy to a patient's skin, such as between 100 cm and 150 cm from the electrode end of a 240 centimeter cable. The total resistance of the resistors plus cable, connectors and solder is 1000 ohms or less; while the total inductance is roughly 1560 nanohenries. The inductors do not include ferrite or other magnetic material and are, together with the resistors, stock components thereby simplifying manufacture and reducing cost.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2020Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: RHYTHMLINK INTERNATIONAL, LLCInventors: James W.
