  • Patent number: 12468556
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions for distributing tasks between a handheld intermediary processing device (HIPD) and communicatively coupled devices is disclosed. The instructions cause one or more processors to, while a HIPD and a head-wearable device are communicatively coupled and share operational data for performing one or more computational tasks, identify one or more back-end tasks and one or more front-end tasks associated with performing the one or more computational tasks. The instructions further cause performance of the one or more back-end tasks at the HIPD including updating the operational data to create updated operational data. The instructions further cause performance of the one or more front-end tasks at the head-wearable device using the updated operational data such that a representation based on the one or more computational tasks is presented to the user by the head-wearable device.

  • Patent number: 11608008
    Abstract: An illuminated speaker panel assembly with an integrated audio seal is described. In one embodiment, an illuminated speaker panel assembly for a vehicle includes a speaker configured to mount to a door body of a vehicle and a base panel component configured to attach to the door body over the speaker. The base panel component includes a speaker frame aligned with an outer periphery of the speaker. The speaker frame includes an outer sealing wall, an inner retention wall, and a channel disposed between the outer sealing wall and the inner retention wall. A lighting member is disposed within the channel of the speaker frame such that the lighting member is configured to extend substantially along the outer periphery of the speaker.

  • Patent number: 9493043
    Abstract: A TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) sensor setting method is disclosed and performed by: using a setting tool to input a location code into the TPMS sensor to be set so that the TPMS sensor can feed the location code and its ID to the on-vehicle main unit for enabling the on-vehicle main unit to establish the relationship between the ID of the TPMS sensor and its location.

  • Patent number: 9330987
    Abstract: A method for identifying, inspecting, and reviewing all hot spots on a specimen is disclosed by using at least one SORIL e-beam tool. A full die on a semiconductor wafer is scanned by using a first identification recipe to obtain a full die image of that die and then design layout data is aligned and compared with the full die image to identify hot spots on the full die. Threshold levels used to identify hot spots can be varied and depend on the background environments close thereto, materials of the specimens, defect types, and design layout data. A second recipe is used to selectively inspect locations of all hot spots to identify killers, and then killers can be reviewed with a third recipe.

  • Publication number: 20140039315
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for a medical device, including a means for enhancing visibility under imaging which, while reducing the local mechanical strength, avoids compromising the overall device effectiveness or safety. Visibility under imaging is increased by a non-uniform distribution of visibility-enhancing features as a function of the local stresses expected during use. One embodiment is for a medical device comprising an elongate member having proximal and distal regions, wherein the distal region comprises: a first echogenic region including a plurality of circumferential first region cuts, each of the first region cuts having a first region cut volume; and a second echogenic region, distal of the first echogenic region, including a plurality of circumferential second region cuts, wherein each of the second region cuts has a second region cut volume greater than said first region cut volume.
