  • Patent number: 11638443
    Abstract: A vaporizer device may include a controller and a heater control circuitry. The controller may generate, based at least on a temperature of a heating coil in a cartridge coupled with the vaporizer device, an output signal for controlling a discharge of a battery of the vaporizer device. The battery may be discharged to the heating coil to increase the temperature of the heating coil and cause a vaporization of a vaporizable material contained in the cartridge. The heater control circuitry may determine the temperature of the heating coil. The heater control circuitry may further control, based on the output signal from the controller, the discharge of the battery to the heating coil. The heater control circuitry may be powered by a voltage rail coupled to a voltage regulator configured to regulate an output voltage of the battery.

  • Patent number: 11635608
    Abstract: A method is useable for determining a refractive index of an optical medium in a microscope, which has an objective facing toward a sample chamber. The optical medium is one of two optical media, which border two opposing surfaces of a cover slip or object carrier in the sample chamber and form two partially reflective interfaces, which are arranged at different distances from the objective. The method includes: deflecting a measurement light beam by the objective with oblique incidence on the cover slip or object carrier; generating two reflection light beams spatially separated from one another by the measurement light beam being partially reflected at each of the interfaces; receiving the two reflection light beams by the objective and conducting them onto a position-sensitive detector; registering intensities by the position-sensitive detector; and determining the refractive index of the optical medium based on the registered intensities.

  • Patent number: 11606970
    Abstract: A vaporizer device may include a pressure sensor and an ambient pressure sensor. The pressure sensor may be configured to measure a first pressure in an air flow path in the vaporizer device. The ambient pressure sensor may be configured to measure a second pressure corresponding to an atmospheric pressure. The vaporizer device may further include a controller. The controller may be configured to transition the vaporizer device to a first standby mode when the first pressure is equal to or greater than the second pressure for a first threshold quantity of time. While the vaporizer device is in the first standby mode, the controller may be further configured to transition the vaporizer device to a second standby mode when the second pressure is a threshold quantity greater than the first pressure and no motion event is detected for a second threshold quantity of time.

  • Publication number: 20230037051
    Abstract: A system can control access to encrypted data shared by a group of users by the use of a vault key that is associated with a group of users. The encrypted data can include encrypted secret data generated from the secret data using a secret key, an encrypted secret key can be generated from the secret key by the use of a vault key, and an encrypted vault key generated from the vault key by the use of a public key associated with a user of the group of users. The system can allow users to store and access the encrypted data only if the user is a current member of the group. The system can verify the user's membership status from a group manager, such as a system managing a channel or chat session.

  • Patent number: 11500189
    Abstract: A light sheet microscope includes a sample chamber in which a cover slip or slide is arrangeable, which has a surface that defines a partially reflective interface and which has a further surface that defines a further partially reflective interface. The two interfaces are arranged at different distances from an objective. The light sheet microscope further includes an optical system having the objective facing toward the cover slip or slide, an illumination apparatus, which is designed to generate a light sheet, a sensor, and a processor. The two interfaces are formed in that two optical media are applicable in the sample chamber. The light sheet microscope forms a measuring device for acquiring a measured variable. The sensor is designed to acquire the intensities and/or the incidence locations of the two reflection light beams.

  • Patent number: 11461630
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and techniques for extracting user body shape (e.g., a representation of the three-dimensional body surface) from user behavioral data. The behavioral data may not be explicitly body-shape-related, and can include shopping history, social media likes, or other recorded behaviors of the user within (or outside of) a networked content delivery environment. The determined body shape can be used, for example, to generate a virtual fitting room user interface.

  • Patent number: 11455412
    Abstract: This disclosure provides enhanced management of access rights for dynamic groups of users sharing secret data. Instead of relying on traditional administrative techniques for modifying access rights for stored data, the techniques disclosed herein allow a storage service to communicate with a group management system to verify membership of user groups, e.g., channels, chat session, or meetings, and automatically change access rights to stored data as users leave or join a group. Encrypted data can be stored within a storage vault. The storage vault can be dedicated to storing encrypted data shared between a user group, e.g. a channel. A server managing the storage vault can receive membership data from a group management service. As users join the group or leave a group managed by the group management service, each user's access permissions to the storage vault can be added, removed or modified.
