  • Publication number: 20230392742
    Abstract: A cap covers an open end of a drain pan fitting of an appliance drain pan. The cap comprises a cylindrical body and a non-planar water-soluble membrane. The cylindrical body has a first end with a first end opening, a second end with a second end opening, and a longitudinal through-hole extending between the first end opening and the second end opening. The non-planar water-soluble membrane is positioned to at least partially obstruct the through-hole when the membrane is intact such that air flow through the through-hole is inhibited in the absence of water in the drain pan. The membrane is adapted to dissolve when exposed to water in the drain pan such that water in the drain pan is not inhibited from exiting the drain pan through the through-hole.

  • Publication number: 20230382446
    Abstract: This description is related to an adapter that can be coupled to a stroller frame (e.g., to one side of the stroller frame) or other child product and that is changeable between a first configuration for supporting a first type of accessory (e.g., stroller accessory) and a second configuration for supporting a second type of accessory. The adapter can include a hub that is rotatable relative to the stroller frame or child product and can include a first connector and a second connector positioned at different locations relative to the hub. In examples, when the hub is rotated to a first position, the first connector can be in position to support the first type of accessory, and when the hub is rotated to the second position, the second connector can be in position to support the second type of accessory.

  • Publication number: 20230385750
    Abstract: Systems and methods for modeling a temperature in a thermal package in a lane of commerce using forecast weather data or estimating the actual temperature history in a thermal package using actual weather data. Lane temperature is recognized and used as an intermediate calculated variable derived from weather data. Machine learning techniques estimate the lane temperature to determine a model. Product temperature in thermal packaging is estimated by simultaneously solving a set of heat transfer equations. The above is used to with forecast weather data to calculate a lane temperature and then calculate an expected product temperature based on the time and date of shipment. This product temperature curve is then analyzed with a set of decision rules to improve decision making on when to make a shipment and the best packaging to use.

  • Publication number: 20230378390
    Abstract: A segmented optoelectronic semiconductor package may help to alleviate stresses resulting from bending that can cause a mechanical defect (e.g., crack) in a detector circuit. The bending can result from thermal growth/shrinkage of parts used in the optical electronic package and may be more pronounced for high aspect ratio detector circuits. The segmentation of the disclosed semiconductor package can create seams that allow the parts to flex without breaking. As a result, the disclosed semiconductor package may facilitate high aspect ratio optical detection over a wide temperature range.

    Abstract: Partial integrated core-shell investment casting molds that can be assembled into complete molds are provided herein. Each section of the partial mold may contain both a portion of a core and portion of a shell. Each section can then be assembled into a mold for casting of a metal part. The partial integrated core-shell investment casting molds and the complete molds may be provided with filament structures corresponding to cooling hole patterns on the surface of the turbine blade or the stator vane, which provides a leaching pathway for the core portion after metal casting. Core filaments that can be used to supplement the leaching pathway, for example in a core tip portion of the mold are also provided herein.

  • Publication number: 20230328611
    Abstract: A method of coordinating a plurality of radio access networks (RANs) includes aggregating, with a gateway, communications interfaces between a plurality of RANs and a packet core network through the gateway. A plurality of radio nodes (RNs) in each of the RANs is communicatively coupled to the gateway and to user equipment (UE) devices associated with the RNs in each of the RANs. The gateway also controls and coordinates mobility of the UE devices within and among the RANs. In addition, the gateway acts as a virtual enhanced NodeB (eNB) to the packet core network, thereby hiding the aggregated communications interfaces from the packet core network.
