  • Patent number: 11809782
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230305842
    Abstract: Control a coarse grained reconfigurable array during execution of an assembly language program identifying data flows through memory locations represented by memory variables. For example, a lowering program can be configured to receive the assembly language program, a hardware profile of the coarse grained reconfigurable array, and an instruction execution schedule to generate a configuration usable to control the coarse grained reconfigurable array. The lowering program can identify tile memories used to implement the memory locations represented by the memory variables in the assembly language program, and trace the data flows specified in the assembly language program. Using timing of instruction execution identified in the schedule, the lowering program can determine timing and controls for the dispatch interface, memory interfaces, and internal connections within tiles of the coarse grained reconfigurable array during execution of the assembly language program.

  • Publication number: 20230255789
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for graft delivery with accurate dispensing. For example, a device for delivering graft material to a target site includes an actuation mechanism and a tube. The tube defines a lumen and an open end and is configured to receive graft material through the open end. The tube includes a pressure relief opening and a dosage window. The pressure relief opening is disposed in a wall of the tube, defining a pressure chamber between the open end and the pressure relief opening. The device further includes a plunger positioned within the lumen of the tube and coupled to the actuation mechanism such that at least a portion of the plunger (or the actuation mechanism) is visible through the dosage window. The actuation mechanism is configured to advance the plunger toward the open end to deliver graft material through the open end.

  • Publication number: 20230068755
    Abstract: Ocean-based gear equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) shares position to either single or multiple users. Position data from an ocean-based device are sent either to a cloud-hosted database or vessel transceiver, then displayed on either a mobile app via multiple login accounts, a vessel-mounted GPS plotter that is capable of sharing data over the internet, or a satellite-connected mobile device capable of receiving and displaying Short Message Service (SMS) messages or emails. The Vessel Transceiver device is designed to share data from gear to vessel via radio frequency, as well as vessel to vessel via satellite network, without internet connectivity. Position data are provided to either one user or multiple users on the ocean or on land via various communication arrangements.
