Publication number: 20230375022Abstract: The present teachings generally relate to a frame assembly comprising a connector device and a method for fabricating the same. The frame assembly comprises a member (12) and one or more connector devices (14A, 14B) coupled to and supporting opposing ends the member. Each of the one or more connector devices comprise a base member; a first projection extending from a first side of the base member, the projection defining a cavity; an end channel situated within the cavity and extending around a perimeter of the projection proximate the base member; a port extending from the end channel on the first side of the base member to a second side of the base member, the second side being in opposing relationship to the first side; and an adhesive, introduced via the port, situated within the end channel. Opposing ends of the member are situated within each of the cavities of two connector devices, respectively, and in contacting relationship with the adhesive.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2021Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Henry E.

Publication number: 20230150724Abstract: A container (210) for holding granular or powdered material and formed by a top wall (212), a bottom wall (214), a front wall (216), a rear wall (218), a first side wall (220), and a second side wall (222). A rotatably removable lid (D) is interiorly mounted with a scoop (32) and is pivotally hinged to a collar (300) that includes a sealing gasket (330). The collar (300) mounts to the walls of the container (210). A sealing wall 240 of the lid (D) cooperates with the gasket 300 to prevent the contents from spilling. The container (210) incorporates powder control features, a container wall junction (50) preferred geometry and congruent scoop (32) enabling convenient access to the contents, a tolerance variation accommodating and strength improving, J-shaped collar (300) and interlocking indentations (290) and flex clips (310), and a pressure controlling portion (350) that prevents unwanted deformation due to pressure differentials.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: ABBOTT LABORATORIESInventors: James P.

Patent number: 11190577Abstract: Techniques for processing application data are described. The techniques include transmitting packets of application data to a data management server. The data management server maintains rules that dictate where the packets go as well as what actions are taken in response to the packets. Based on the rules, the data management server transmits the packets to destinations that may perform various actions. The actions performed by destinations may include logging data received from the applications, or performing other actions such as notifying an administrator or other entity of a particular event, or the like. The described architecture decouples functions such as logging, notification, and the like from the applications for which they are performed, which provides benefits such as improved scalability, as well as removing the need for application developers to build such functionality directly into the applications.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Gilliard, James Chi-Shun Tsiao, Konstantin Anatolyevich Bay, Yang Li, Aram Compeau, Xiangfang Li
