  • Publication number: 20230344263
    Abstract: Adjusting a charging rate of battery of an information handling system, the method comprising: determining, at a first time, a first accumulation of time over a first time period that i) a state of charge (SOC) of the battery indicates that the battery is fully charged and that ii) the battery is connected to a power source; comparing the first accumulation of time with a time threshold; determining, based on the comparing, that the first accumulation of time is greater than the time threshold, and in response: decreasing a charging voltage of the battery from a nominal level to a first decreased level; charging the battery based on the charging voltage having the first decreased level;

  • Publication number: 20230191212
    Abstract: A golf club grip with reminder rib is provide that has a hollow main body having an inner diameter configured to fit to a shaft, wherein the hollow main body comprises a protruding feature that extends along a length of the hollow main body. The protruding feature protrudes from an outer surface of the hollow main body without requiring the shaft to be inserted in the hollow main body. By not requiring the golf grip to be on the shaft in order to cause a protrusion above the outer surface of the main body, the reminder rib formed by the protruding feature can be ensured to be about 0.

  • Publication number: 20230113227
    Abstract: Managing a battery of an information handling system, including determining a degradation factor of the battery based on one or more parameters of the battery; determining a first thermal stress time of the battery over a first time period, including: identifying a voltage of the battery over the first time period; identifying a temperature of the battery over the first time period; calculating the first thermal stress time of the battery over the first time period based on the voltage and the temperature of the battery over the first time period; comparing the first thermal stress time of the battery of the first time period to a time threshold, the time threshold based on the degradation factor of the battery; determining, based on the comparison, that the first thermal stress time of the battery is greater than the time threshold, and in response, adjusting a charge voltage of the battery.

  • Patent number: 11389028
    Abstract: A fryer includes a cooking chamber for holding a cooking medium, at least one heating element positioned within the cooking chamber, and a chain conveyor for selectively advancing food product through the cooking chamber along a movement path. The chain conveyor includes first and second chains coupled together by a plurality of baskets extending therebetween. The movement path includes a series of legs, including a first leg wherein the food product moves substantially vertically from above the cooking medium to a greatest depth within the cooking medium and including a second leg subsequent to the first leg wherein the food product moves substantially horizontally at the greatest depth within the cooking medium. Automated filtering systems and methods for removing debris from cooking medium are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11266890
    Abstract: A flexible tubular golf club grip is formed of elastomeric material having a substantially closed end with an end cap. The tubular portion is formed of substantially softer material than the end cap and has disposed on opposite sides axially spaced discrete areas of macro-texture having spaced raised portions giving a quilt-like appearance. The discrete areas of macro-texture are disposed peripherally spaced on opposite sides of the grip. The end cap has an extension which closely inter-fits the inner periphery of the tubular portion and provides support therefor proximate the substantially closed end. The cap extension has axially extending protrusions peripherally spaced on the top and bottom of the cap which are flush with the outer surface of the tubular portion.
