  • Patent number: 11078560
    Abstract: An embodiment relates to a composition comprising an amorphous alloy having a low coefficient of friction (COF) of 0.15 or less, wherein the amorphous alloy is substantially free of phosphor (P) and substantially free of boron (B). An embodiment relates to a method comprising solidifying a molten layer of an amorphous feedstock on a preexisting layer by controlling a heating source and a cooling rate so as to avoid formation of crystals in the molten layer and not affect a crystalline structure of the preexisting layer, and forming a specimen; wherein, the at least a portion specimen has the low COF. Another embodiment relates to a system comprising a drill string, wherein the drill string comprises a drilling bit and a drill pipe connected thereto, wherein at least a portion of the drill pipe comprises a coating having the low COF.

  • Patent number: 11079846
    Abstract: Systems, articles, and methods for improved capacitive electromyography (“EMG”) sensors are described. The improved capacitive EMG sensors include one or more sensor electrode(s) that is/are coated with a protective barrier formed of a material that has a relative permittivity ?r of about 10 or more. The protective barrier shields the sensor electrode(s) from moisture, sweat, skin oils, etc. while advantageously contributing to a large capacitance between the sensor electrode(s) and the user's body. In this way, the improved capacitive EMG sensors provide enhanced robustness against variations in skin and/or environmental conditions. Such improved capacitive EMG sensors are particularly well-suited for use in wearable EMG devices that may be worn by a user for an extended period of time and/or under a variety of skin and/or environmental conditions. A wearable EMG device that provides a component of a human-electronics interface and incorporates such improved capacitive EMG sensors is described.

  • Patent number: 11077910
    Abstract: A two-wheeled vehicle includes a frame assembly having a front end and a rear end extending along a longitudinally-extending centerline, a front ground-engaging member operably coupled to the front end of the frame assembly at a front rotational axis, and a rear ground-engaging member operably coupled to the rear end of the frame assembly at a rear rotational axis. The vehicle further includes an engine supported by the frame assembly and operably coupled to the front and rear ground-engaging members, and the engine includes a throttle body assembly. Additionally, the vehicle includes an air intake assembly fluidly coupled to the engine and including an airbox and a mounting plate having a first channel and a second channel. The first and second channels are configured to align with the throttle body assembly. The mounting plate is configured to couple the airbox to the throttle body assembly.

  • Patent number: 11082492
    Abstract: An orchestrator for providing storage access via storage gateways includes a persistent storage and a processor. The persistent storage includes a workload policy. The processor obtains a data storage access request from a client, identifies a type of workload indicated by the data storage access request, identifies a storage gateway of the storage gateways to service the storage access request using the workload policy and the identified type of workload, and assigns the identified storage gateway to provide the client with storage access.

  • Patent number: 11082730
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for affiliate interrupt detection. An example method disclosed herein includes determining whether a first time period of a first audio signal corresponds to a first affiliate interrupt period based on whether (1) a first type of watermark is detected in the first time period of the first audio signal, and (2) a second type of watermark is detected in the first audio signal outside the first time period but not in the first time period of the first audio signal, and determining whether the first time period of the first audio signal corresponds to the first affiliate interrupt period when watermarks are not detected in the first time period of the first audio signal based on comparison of first signatures with second signatures representing a corresponding first time period of a reference audio signal.

  • Patent number: 11079602
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an optical element for a lighting device, the optical element comprising a body capable of conducting light, wherein the body comprises: a light incoupling surface; a light outcoupling surface; and side faces situated opposite to each other and extending from the light incoupling surface to the light outcoupling surface; wherein at least one of the side faces has an aspherical shape at least in sections. The at least one side face having the aspherical shape is capable of focussing light originating from a first point on the light incoupling surface to a second point on the light outcoupling surface by internal reflection at least in the sections. The optical element may serve in the lighting device as a precollimator with configurable intensity distribution of the precollimated light. The shape of the optical element may be easily determined for various dimensions of the optical element.
