Patent number: 11961129Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide a geo-targeted online reservation system that ensures authenticity of customer devices requesting reservations by generating reservations only if threshold authentication conditions are satisfied. For example, a computing device registered with a server system receives inputs for requesting a reservation of a limited release product and for configuring the product. To authenticate the computing device, the server device transmits an electronic message to the computing device requesting the computing device to respond. A response to the message is one threshold authentication condition for generating the reservation. Upon determining that one or more threshold authentication conditions are satisfied, the server device generates a reservation for the product.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: adidas AGInventors: Gordon Gibson Lanpher, Roger Brandon Beaty, Jonathan Matthew Shaw, Katharine Reinhold, Ryan Robert O. Malia, Megan Murphy Millard, Simon Atkins, Todd Ames

Publication number: 20240114970Abstract: An aerosol-generating device includes a vapor generation unit adapted to transform an aerosol forming material into vapor, and a vapor channel extending from the vapor generation unit to a vapor outlet of the aerosol-generating device. The vapor generation unit includes a micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS). The vapor channel is provided with a movable cover having a closed position in which it closes the vapor channel and an open position. The cover is adapted to move from the closed position to the open position under the effect of a suction applied on the aerosol-generating device by the user to vape. The cover has a lower face provided with a layer of an absorbent material adapted to imbibe the aerosol forming material. This protects the vaporisation device from any foreign particles and avoids liquid leakage.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: JT International SAInventors: Alec Wright, Andrew Robert John Rogan, Kyle Adair, Gordon Montgomery

Patent number: 11622178Abstract: This document describes a speaker-integration system and associated devices and systems. The speaker-integration system includes a speaker that is re-workably mounted, via an elastomeric gasket, to an intermediate structure that is mountable to an outer enclosure of an electronic device. The intermediate structure forms a cavity in which the speaker is sealed, effective to use the cavity as the speaker's back volume to contain acoustic waves without impacting other structures in the electronic device. The front of the speaker is sealed against the outer enclosure by a gasket that controls, based on its placement and geometry, axial and radial directions of the speaker relative to the intermediate structure to prevent the speaker from buzzing against surrounding rigid parts. The speaker has wires that exit the back volume via a detachable grommet, which controls positioning of the wires to prevent rub and buzz against surrounding parts.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2022Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Cindy Ngoc-Tran Au, Gordon Robert Dix, Luis Chau, William Raeming Dong, Laurie Man Sum Kwan
