  • Patent number: 12634290
    Abstract: A server can adjust access privileges of a customer object of a first entity to provide access to the customer object to a second entity that is associated with the first entity in an organizational data structure, resulting in a shared customer object. An operation request can be received which is associated with the second entity with regard to the shared customer object. An option to associate at least one account object of the first entity to the shared customer object may be provided. After receiving an indication to associate the at least one account object to the shared customer object, the operation request may be executed using the at least one account object.

  • Publication number: 20250384441
    Abstract: An entity can be associated to another entity through an association with an organization. An authorized user in a first entity can request via an interface associated with the organization that an identifier of another entity be added to an organization data structure of the organization. The organization can verify the request and submit a request to the other entity. The other entity may become associated with the first entity. Aggregated functions may then be performed across all entities in the organization according to the organization data structure.

  • Patent number: 12337790
    Abstract: A hinge assembly is provided to lift a hood of a vehicle relative to a vehicle body in anticipation of, during, or right after a collision has occurred to cushion contact with a pedestrian. The hood selectively covers a compartment of the vehicle when in a secured position. The hinge assembly includes a hinge configured to guide the hood from the secured position to both of an open position or to a pedestrian deployment position relative to the vehicle body. An actuator moves the hood from the secured position to the pedestrian deployment position. A controller controls the actuator based at least in part on a characteristic of the pedestrian.

  • Patent number: 11982366
    Abstract: A device for controlling the flow of fluid through a conduit from an upstream side of the device to a downstream side of the device. The device includes a valve seat mounted on a casing that defines a valve aperture, a mounting member arranged on the downstream side of the valve aperture; a valve member mounted on the mounting member. The valve member is arranged to selectively open and close the valve aperture thereby controlling the flow of the fluid through the valve aperture. A seal retaining member is arranged adjacent the valve seat and, with the valve seat, defines a seal retaining groove. A compliant seal within the seal retaining groove seals the valve aperture when the valve member is moved to close the valve aperture.

  • Patent number: 11867078
    Abstract: A turbocharger turbine wheel can include a hub that includes a rotational axis, a backdisk and a nose, where the rotational axis defines an axial coordinate (z) in a cylindrical coordinate system that includes a radial coordinate (r) and an azimuthal coordinate (?) in a direction of intended rotation about the rotational axis; and blades that extend outwardly from the hub, where each of the blades includes a leading edge and a trailing edge, where the leading edge includes a lower axial point defined by a first theta angle and an upper axial point defined by a second theta angle, where the first theta angle is greater than the second theta angle with respect to the direction of intended rotation of the turbine wheel.

  • Patent number: 10991345
    Abstract: To manage dynamic adjustment of the refresh rate of a computer display, the operating system defines at least two playback modes: one or more custom modes that can be selected by applications, and a standard mode which is a default setting for the system that can be expected by applications. The operating system provides an application programming interface that enables an application to request using a custom mode. If approved to use the custom mode, then the application presents frames for display based on the custom mode. The operating system stores timing data for each buffered frame indicating how to play the frame in both standard mode and the custom mode. If a transition back to the standard mode occurs, the operating system uses the timing data to properly present frames of video until the application stops generating frames of video in the custom mode.
