  • Publication number: 20220104975
    Abstract: An absorbent core composite is disclosed for incorporation into a disposable absorbent article. The composite includes a first material layer and a second material layer (preferably nonwoven) partially secured to the first material layer to define at least one pocket therebetween. Preferably, multiple pockets are defined, except in the case of where a generally uniform layer or bed of absorbent is preferred or better suited fro the application. The pocket is said have a fixed initial volume. Further, an aggregate of absorbent particles is provided in the pocket(s) to occupy a portion of the fixed initial volume. The absorbent particles are preferably SAP particles and is characterized by a dry volume associated with a dry state and a swell volume associated with a liquid saturation state. In respect to or for the pocket, the aggregate is characterized by a collective dry volume and a collective swell volume, wherein the pocket has an initial configuration that retains the aggregate therein.

  • Publication number: 20220094683
    Abstract: Enhancement of web browser extension analysis capabilities, such as security application analysis, is realized by encapsulating the extension with a wrapper function that defines entry and exits points within the source code of the extension. By wrapping the web browser extension in a function that defines entry and exit points, the present invention enables the use of commercial SAST tools/engines and any other application which desires to analyze the web browser extension and/or extract data therefrom. The web browser extension is programmatically analyzed to identify the entry and exit points and, in response, the wrapper function is generated that defines the entry and exits points and the web browser extension is encapsulated with the wrapper function.

  • Patent number: 11270523
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a user's dental arch based on two-dimensional (2D) images of dental impressions include a model training system that provides a machine learning model using training image(s) of a dental impression of a respective dental arch and a 3D training model of the respective dental arch. A model generation system receives first image(s) of a first dental impression of a user's dental arch and second image(s), which may be of the first dental impression or a second dental impression of the dental arch. The model generation system generates a first and second 3D model of the dental arch by applying the first image(s) and second image(s) to the machine learning model. A model merging system merges the first 3D model and the second 3D model to generate a merged model of the dental arch.

  • Patent number: 11230626
    Abstract: Described herein are crosslinked alkylated poly(benzimidazole) and poly(imidazole) polymer materials and devices (e.g., fuel cells, water electrolyzers) including these polymer materials. The polymer materials can be prepared in a convenient manner, allowing for applications such as anion exchange membranes (AEMs). The membranes provide high anion conductivities over a wider range of operating conditions when compared to the analogous membranes that are not cross-linked. The crosslinked polymer materials have improved alkaline stability, when compared to the analogous non-crosslinked polymer materials.

  • Patent number: 11221870
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to agent flow arrangement management in a distributed commit processing environment. A first set of agent utilization data may be collected with respect to a first commit processing agent. A second set of agent utilization data may be collected with respect to a second commit processing agent. An agent flow arrangement may be determined based on a first value with respect to the first set of agent utilization data exceeding a second value with respect to the second set of agent utilization data. The agent flow arrangement may have the first commit processing agent subsequent to the second commit processing agent. The distributed commit operation may be processed using the agent flow arrangement which has the first commit processing agent subsequent to the second commit processing agent.

  • Publication number: 20210334015
    Abstract: A system and technique are provided for providing a service address space. The system includes a service co-processor provided with a service address space. The service co-processor is attached to a main processor where the main processor is provided with a main address space. The service co-processor creates and maintains an independent copy of the main address space in the form of the service address space. The service co-processor receives from the main processor a command packet, determines a clock value for initiating a service function designated by the command packet, and updates the service address space until reaching the clock value. The service co-processor then performs the service function at the clock value.

  • Patent number: 11131169
    Abstract: Tubing string rotators, safety rod clamps, combination tubing string rotators and safety rod claims, and rotating split tubing hangers are provided. The tubing string rotator can rotate a tubing string suspended in a hydrocarbon well from a rotatable support mandrel. The support mandrel can be positioned at the well head and can be supported against downward axial movement. The tubing string rotator can comprise a motor for producing a rotational force, a drive assembly for applying the rotational force to drive the rotation of the support mandrel, and a controller operatively connected to the motor for intermittently activating the motor, causing rotation of the support mandrel, for selected intervals of time, followed by selected intervals of time of motor inactivation, in which no rotation of the support mandrel occurs. Intermittently or non-continuously rotation of the tubing string can result in more even wear and/or erosion of the tubing string.

  • Publication number: 20210279748
    Abstract: Web-based opinion survey method, apparatus, and computer-readable media operable to cause propositional function responses to be provided to a survey server from a client device. The propositional functions are P(x), where P and x are the predicate and subject. Each P(x) is evaluated in the client device for subjects, each with a different x. Preferably, the client device displays the subjects within a Web Single Page Application (SPA) running on the client device. Preferably, the SPA displays a nonnumerical scale, the granularity of which is directly proportional to the number of pixels spanned by the scale. For each P(x), the client device displays labeled markers along the scale, to provide an indication of a level of agreement with the expressed P(x). For each P(x) subject, the client expresses an opinion on a position on the scale, whereby a pixel position corresponds to a rating for the selected subject.

  • Publication number: 20210257897
    Abstract: Described herein are latching devices where relative speed of movement between members is in part controlled or reduced via eddy current formation and in part controlled or relative motion stopped via a latch arrangement. Various embodiments are described, one being use of a conductive member; at least one magnetic field and a latch member that, prior to latching, moves independently to the at least one conductive member. A kinematic relationship exists between the conductive member and at least one magnetic field that enables the conductive member to move at a different speed relative to the magnetic field on application of an energizing force, thereby inducing an eddy current drag force by relative movement of the conductive member in the magnetic field. The eddy current drag force resulting causes movement of the conductive member causing the conductive member to engage the latch member thereby halting movement between the at least one conductive member and the at least one latch member.
