  • Patent number: 11864919
    Abstract: A flexible, passive pressure sensor includes three LC tank circuits. The first LC tank circuit is a pressure sensing LC tank circuit, having a capacitance that varies in response to changes in environmental pressure. The second and third LC tank circuits are reference LC tank circuits, having capacitances that are relatively constant over changes in environmental pressure. A measurement tool measures the resonant frequencies of the three LC tank circuits and then computes a pressure measurement that accounts for changes in resonant frequencies in the LC tank circuits due to environmental effects and deforming.

  • Patent number: 11864701
    Abstract: A water tank assembly including a tank body and a one-way valve is provided. The tank body is defined with a clean water cavity communicated with an external pipeline through a water inlet channel, the external pipeline is capable of transporting water to the clean water cavity. The one-way valve is arranged in the water inlet channel and has a first and a second state. During delivering clean water to the clean water cavity, the one-way valve is in the first state to allow water in the external pipeline to be delivered to the clean water cavity, and when clean water is stopped to supply to the clean water cavity, the one-way valve is changed to the second state to restrict the water in the water inlet channel flowing out, such that outflow of the clean water from the water inlet channel is blocked when the external pipeline is removed.

  • Patent number: 11868496
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and techniques of referencing row access policy (RAP) protected mapping tables in a RAP for a data table are disclosed herein. An example method of referencing a mapping table in a data table using nested RAP includes defining, by a processing device, a first access policy for the mapping table to control access by specific users or under specific conditions. The processing device further defines a second access policy attached to the data table referencing the mapping table. The processing device in response to a query, executes the second access policy of the data table to provide a response or operation of data associated with the data table and the mapping table. Executing the second access policy invokes executing the first access policy of the mapping table.
