Publication number: 20240147921Abstract: An apparatus for facilitating processing of plant material is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base, a cutter disc rotatably coupled to the base such that the cutter disc is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation relative to the base, the cutter disc having an upper side including a plurality of radially spaced teeth, each of the plurality of teeth configured to travel on a respective cutting path to engage and shear the plant material when the cutter disc rotates. The apparatus includes a shearing governor rigidly coupled to the base, the shearing governor including one or more cutting edges, each of the one or more cutting edges extending adjacent to the cutting paths of at least two of the plurality of teeth and configured to shear the plant material when the cutter disc rotates. Other systems and apparatuses are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2021Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Thomas RUEGEMER, Gary David POWERS, Kyle Warren GOODWIN, Wendell DEVRIES

Publication number: 20240134460Abstract: The present technology provides a mechanism by which a player can make a gesture with their hands which can bring up a virtual controller, wherein hand movements and finger tracking can result in locomotion of an avatar through a virtual world without need for a hardware controller. Therefore, a player can have a natural conversion or otherwise control the hands of their avatar to interact with other objects in the virtual world, and then use the avatar's hands to bring up a virtual controller to control locomotive movements of their avatar without the player of a physical controller.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: VRChat Inc.Inventors: Ronald John Millar, David E. Tin Nyo, Trevor Goodwin

Patent number: 11917493Abstract: UE location determined by collecting and preprocessing signal data at a detector and sending extracted data to a remote locate server. The detector buffers samples from signals provided by receive channels, detects known reference signals from receive channels based on reference signal parameters, isolates symbols carrying the reference signal from frames, extracts data from symbols, and sends extracted data to locate server. The locate server receives the extracted data, estimates locate observables based on the extracted data and calculates the UE location based on the estimated locate observables, the reference signal parameters and the extracted data. The detector and/or the server may also generate correlation coefficients between reference signals carrying spectrum received from a serving cell and utilize the correlation coefficients to cancel a serving cell signal in symbols that include known in advance reference signals from the serving cell and one or more neighboring cells of the wireless system.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Felix Markhovsky, Truman Prevatt, Russ Markhovsky, David Goodwin Shaw, Tyler Matthew Smith

Publication number: 20240023766Abstract: A towel dispenser mounting system includes a mounting component; a sensor; and a dispenser. The sensor is directly attached to the wall and the dispenser is mounted to the wall through attachment of the mounting component to the wall. The dispenser contains a roll of material for dispensing towels, and the sensor is configured to detect a distance from the sensor to the roll, whereby an amount of towels to be dispensed may be calculated and/or an amount of towels already dispensed may be calculated. The sensor is located within a housing of the dispenser when the dispenser is attached to the mounting component; a back wall of the housing of the dispenser defines an opening through which the sensor is partially received. The mounting component also defines an opening through which the sensor extends. Mounting a dispenser to a wall to which a sensor is attached is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Collin Russell JACKSON, Jeffrey David GOODWIN

Publication number: 20230239430Abstract: A monitoring system can provide a sound profile to a network device. The monitoring system can identify a type of location associated with the network device that is located in a network. The monitoring system can determine a sound profile based on the type of location. The monitoring system can provide the sound profile to the network device. The sound profile relates to one or more sounds associated with the location so that the network device need not store and/or process all sounds but rather only those sounds that would typically be received or made at the location. The sound profile can be based or updated based on user sensor data received from the network device. In this way, the network device, the monitoring system, any other network resource, or any combination thereof uses context-aware sound identification to monitor a client user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Navneeth N.
