  • Patent number: 11939263
    Abstract: Described are cementitious reagent materials produced from globally abundant inorganic feedstocks. Also described are methods for the manufacture of such cementitious reagent materials and forming the reagent materials as microspheroidal glassy particles. Also described are apparatuses, systems and methods for the thermochemical production of glassy cementitious reagents with spheroidal morphology. The apparatuses, systems and methods makes use of an in-flight melting/quenching technology such that solid particles are flown in suspension, melted in suspension, and then quenched in suspension. The cementitious reagents can be used in concrete to substantially reduce the CO2 emission associated with cement production.

  • Publication number: 20240084651
    Abstract: The invention relates to a downhole assembly to mitigate high frequency torsional oscillation, in particular the high frequency torsional oscillation which can occur in a drilling operation for geothermal energy or for oil and gas. The downhole assembly (10) has a rotary steerable tool (18) and a high frequency torsional oscillation mitigation tool (20), the high frequency torsional oscillation mitigation tool having a one-way coupling (100), the high frequency torsional oscillation mitigation tool being located above the rotary steerable tool. The invention also relates to an oscillation mitigation tool (20) suitable for use in a downhole assembly. The high frequency torsional oscillation mitigation tool has a first end, a second end, and a one-way coupling (100) between the first end and the second end.

  • Publication number: 20240071558
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for page-based soft post package repair are disclosed. Based on data stored in a storage element, an address may be decoded to a prime row, a row-based redundant row, or a page-based redundant row. A match logic circuit may determine whether the address corresponds to a defective prime row and generate a match signal. A decoder can select a redundant row to be accessed instead of a prime row in response to the match signal indicating that the address data corresponding to the address to be accessed matches defective address data stored in a volatile memory. A page-based redundant row allows for page-by-page substitution for defective memory, allowing functional portions of memory to continue to be used.

  • Publication number: 20230391390
    Abstract: Physical shopping carts can have product detection systems and associate physical shopping carts with mobile computing devices (e.g., smartphones, tablet computing devices, smart watches, wearable computing devices). For example, physical shopping carts can be equipped with one or more product detection systems (e.g., scanners, sensors, cameras) that can electronically tally products that are placed in physical shopping carts. Mobile computing devices can be associated with and mounted on the physical shopping carts to provide a variety of enhanced shopping cart features not possible with conventional physical shopping carts, such as electronically tracking the contents of a shopping cart, checking-out from the mobile computing device (instead of at conventional check-out areas, such as point of sale terminals), and others.

  • Patent number: 11734666
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system for providing and managing associations between mobile computing device and physical shopping carts used in retail stores includes a physical shopping cart configured to transport physical goods around a store. The physical shopping cart includes a product detection system that is programmed to detect products that are placed in the physical shopping cart, a wireless transceiver to wirelessly communicate with other devices, and a cart identifier that uniquely identifies the physical shopping cart. The system further includes a mobile computing device that is programmed (i) to obtain the cart identifier for the shopping cart, (ii) to establish an association with the physical shopping cart using the cart identifier, and (iii) once the association between the physical shopping cart and the mobile computing device has been established, to output a user interface that provides a real-time summary of the products in the physical shopping cart.
