Abstract: This document describes a light-sealing gasket with crossbar force distribution. The gasket can be used in an electronic device with a sensor package that is capable of transmitting and receiving signals and is positioned behind a display of the device. The gasket provides a shield between the receive signals and the transmit signals, prevents signal crosstalk, and protects the delicate panel layer of the display. Use of this gasket in an electronic device allows manufacturers to add more features to the device and enrich the user experience.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the disclosed technology involves a system having a generator set comprising a first engine and an output terminal coupled to a power distributor, a load comprising two or more sub-loads, wherein each of the sub-loads are coupled to the power distributor via one or more respective electrical contactors, and a controller communicably coupled to the electrical contactors and the generator set comprising a processor, and a memory, the memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor cause operations. The operations may include determining a number of sub-loads available, receiving data representing power generation of the generator set, determining which of the available sub-loads to connect in order to balance the generator set to the load, and controlling the respective electrical contactors of the determined sub-loads so as to provide electricity to the determined sub-loads.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to detecting the use of fake voice command to activate microphones of smart devices. In one embodiment, sound characteristics associated with an audio signal from a microphone of smart device may be compared with other microphones of the smart device in order to detect fake voice commands. In another embodiment, sound characteristics associated with the audio signal from the microphone may be compared with a threshold range of stored sound characteristics in order to detect fake voice commands. In some embodiments, a controller may triangulate a position associated with a source of a sound in order to detect a fake voice command. In a further embodiment, a controller may verify that a user or associated electronic device are near a smart device to authorize a voice command.

Abstract: A laser level alignment tool is shown. The laser level alignment tool includes magnetic mounts located along a perimeter of body. A laser level is coupled to the body off center from a center point of the laser level alignment tool. The magnetic mounts may be height adjustable relative to the body.

Abstract: A partition, mounted on a mounting surface, comprises a plurality of elongate upright members, a first board and a second board. The first board is mounted on one side of a pair of the elongate upright members that are adjacent to each other, and the second board is mounted on the other side of the same pair of adjacent elongate upright members, so as to provide a cavity between the pair of elongate upright members and the first and second boards. The partition further comprises a spacer that is located within the cavity, the maximum dimension of the spacer in the through-thickness direction of the partition being at least 90% of the separation of the two boards. The spacer may help to reduce the extent of inward bowing of the boards between adjacent elongate upright members, so that, for example, the upright members may be spaced further apart.

Abstract: Magnon excitation and detection systems, apparatus, and methods are provided. The systems and apparatus may include magnon exciters and magnon detectors. The systems and apparatus are used in accordance with methods for exciting and detecting magnons.

Abstract: The disclosure provides systems, devices, and associated methods for mitigating traumatic brain injury, injury to an ocular structure, or injury to the inner ear of a subject by applying pressure to one or more neck veins before and during an injurious event.

Abstract: Encryption is performed at the field level within a data object, in response to an encryption indicator. Encrypted fields are nulled or zeroed out and the encrypted values are stored in encryption metadata with a path identifying the locations of the encrypted fields. An encrypted data key is appended with a decryption identifier and stored in the encryption metadata. The encrypted data object may be reformatted while encrypted. The encrypted data key is extracted from the encryption metadata and the decryption identifier is used to identify a master key used to decrypt the encrypted data key. The data key is used to decrypt the encrypted values and the decrypted values are stored in the fields identified by the paths.

Abstract: A stand system for a portable electronic device includes a column having a top end removably couplable to the portable electronic device; and a foundational platform, wherein the foundational platform is rotatably coupled to the column. Other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

Abstract: A pet mobility carrier assembly for a disabled animal having either a rear leg disability or a front leg disability. The assembly includes a carrier base with a perimeter surface, a carrier animal support removably disposed on the carrier base, and at least three rollers connected to the carrier base that provides multi-directional movement to the pet mobility carrier assembly when on a floor.

Abstract: Instruments, methods, and kits are disclosed for performing fast thermocycling.

Abstract: A first part of a fluid connector system for delivery of pressurized breathing gas to a patient from a respiratory pressure therapy device. The first part has a connector portion with a first opening for a fluid flow, a sealing surface around a periphery of the first opening, and a retaining portion axially aligned with the sealing surface. The sealing surface is configured to axially receive a seal portion extending around a periphery of a second opening to form a face seal with a second part of the fluid connector system. The retaining portion is configured to be releasably engaged with a retaining portion of the second part of the fluid connector system.

Abstract: A Methotrexate composition for oral administration is provided comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of Methotrexate and an aqueous carrier agent. The Methotrexate salt is substantially or completely soluble in the aqueous carrier agent, forming an aqueous solution. There is also provided a method of manufacturing a Methotrexate composition for oral administration, comprising mixing a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of Methotrexate with an aqueous carrier agent until the Methotrexate salt is substantially or completely soluble in the carrier agent to form an aqueous solution.

Abstract: A lyoprotectant composition includes one or more lyoprotective carbohydrates comprising a non-reducing polysaccharide. The non-reducing polysaccharide may be dextranol.

Abstract: Systems for efficiently starting an engine of a hybrid electric vehicle are provided. An example of a system comprises a first processor and a second processor. The second processor is configured to determine when to start an internal combustion engine, cause energy to be supplied from an energy storage device to a generator/motor to cause the generator/motor and crankshaft to rotate to at least a hold speed, transmit a first instruction to a first processor when determining that the internal combination engine should be started. The first processor does not supply fuel to at least one cylinder of the internal combustion engine in response to the first instruction. The second processor is configured to transmit a second instruction to the first processor after a variable period of time has elapse after the generator/motor or crankshaft has reached at least the hold speed.
