Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include playback devices configured to operate in one or more playback configurations including configurations individual playback devices play back one or more corresponding channels of multichannel audio content. An audio parameter can be determined based on a distance between playback devices. In some examples, the audio parameter comprises a filter such as a low frequency filter that varies based on at least the distance between the playback devices. After the audio parameter is determined, the playback devices can play back audio content according to the determined audio parameter.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides, among other things, methods of drying porcine thyroid gland material and manufacturing DTE comprising vacuum drying porcine thyroid gland material in a way such that the temperature of the porcine thyroid gland material is maintained above a threshold temperature. Since applying vacuum, or reducing pressure, has a cooling effect on the porcine thyroid gland material, maintaining the porcine thyroid gland material above a threshold temperature can be achieved by gradually reducing pressure while simultaneously increasing the heat applied to the porcine thyroid gland material during the period of gradual pressure change. Such methods are advantageous in reducing bioburden (killing and impeding the growth of microorganisms) while maintaining therapeutic levels of thyroid hormones, as compared to certain methods of drying porcine thyroid gland material and/or manufacturing DTE known in the art.

Abstract: A system and method by which energy from ocean waves is converted into hydrogen, and that hydrogen is used to manifest electrical and mechanical energies by an energy consuming device. A portion of the generated electrical power is communicated to water electrolyzers which produce oxygen and hydrogen from water as gases. At least a portion of the generated hydrogen gas is transferred to a transportation ship via a hose-carrying, remotely operated (or otherwise unmanned) vehicle, and subsequently transferred to an energy-consuming module or infrastructure, where a portion of the hydrogen is consumed in order to manifest a generation of electrical energy, a mechanical motion, and/or a chemical reaction.

Abstract: A packaging arrangement for a wearable ornament, such as a pin-backed figurine that is supplied with a loop backer enabling the figurine to be coupled with a rope or chain, includes a post for display of the figurine using with the loop backer when not being worn. The figurine on the post may be snapped into a base, the base having a base top and base bottom that are separable from one another. A transparent cover encloses the figurine on the post atop the base, with a backing held in place behind the figurine in the packaging by retention tabs proximate to top corners of the transparent cover, by alignment ridges of the base top and by support posts inside the base bottom. The figurine may therefore be worn either through being pinned or on a rope or chain, or may be displayed either on just the post or on the post atop the base.

Abstract: An ore content prediction system is provided. The system receives structured geological data that is derived based on spatial geological information that is associated with an input region. The received structured geological data includes a plurality of multidimensional tensors that are derived from spatial geological information of a plurality of sub-regions of the input region. The spatial geological information includes one or more types of data. The system trains a prediction model to produce a prediction output based on an average grade of an ore of a target mineral type at a target region by using the received structured geological data. The system identifies a relationship of the structured geological data to the prediction output and determines a revised input region based on the identified relationship.

Abstract: Bras for high impact, high support activities are provided. A bra comprises a band that wraps around a torso. The band includes first and second cup regions, and a channel that runs below the collective cup regions. A gore is formed above the channel and between the respective cup regions, adjoining the respective cup regions. A molded cradle is fitted into the channel. For each cup region, a tessellated encapsulating bra cup is fitted therein. Each tessellated encapsulating bra cup includes a plurality of tiles. Respective tiles in the plurality of tiles that are further away from the cradle are larger in size than respective tiles in the plurality of tiles that are closer to the cradle. Each tessellated encapsulating bra cup has a generally concave first inner face and a generally convex first outer face. The tessellated encapsulating bra cups collectively contribute cantilevered support to the bra.

Abstract: Two shot knuckles include a first shot component and a second shot component. Both shot components are composed of different dielectric materials, where the first shot is composed of a relatively high strength structural material and the second is composed of a cosmetic material. The first shot component can physically couple two conductive sections together by interfacing with a coupling structure of that section. The first shot component includes second shot retaining regions and a cosmetic region. The second shot component occupies the cosmetic region and anchors itself to the first shot component using the second shot retaining regions. The second shot may be the only part of the two-shot knuckle visible to a user of an electronic device and can exhibit any desired color.
