  • Publication number: 20250150113
    Abstract: Devices and methods related to radio-frequency (RF) filters on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. In some embodiments, an RF device can include a silicon die such as an SOI die including a first side and a second side. The silicon die can further include a plurality of vias, with each via configured to provide an electrical connection between the first side and the second side of the silicon die. The RF device can further include at least one RF flip chip mounted on the first side of the silicon die. The silicon die can include, for example, an RF circuit such as a switch circuit, and the RF flip chip can include, for example, a filter such as a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter.

  • Patent number: 12241219
    Abstract: A coupler for securing an attachment to an earth working machine. The coupler comprises a coupler body that presents a receptacle having a capture region. A pin of an attachment can move into and out of the capture region. A retainer can capture the pin in the capture region but the retainer can be moved by a hydraulically driven driver to a position to allow release the pin from the capture region. A trigger that the pin will strike when the pin moves into or out of the capture region, decouples the driver from the retainer and the retainer is then allowed to be biased back to its retaining position by a spring.

  • Publication number: 20250050682
    Abstract: A caster assembly for a mobile apparatus (e.g., robot incorporating multiple caster assemblies) includes a hoof member to configured to inhibit tipping of the mobile apparatus. A hoof member or a wheel of a caster assembly may be spring biased to permit a hoof to contact a travel surface on which the wheel is supported responsive to imposition of a downward vertical force on a stem of the assembly. A method of inhibiting tipping of such a mobile apparatus when transiting an area including a travel surface bounded by a ledge is further provided. To reduce shaking or spillage of cargo, transit risk areas may be mapped, and transit speed of a mobile robot may be reduced in or near transit risk areas.

  • Publication number: 20240068196
    Abstract: A wedge locking element (10) for a locking device of a quick coupler A for coupling the pin P2 of an attachment to earth working machinery. The wedge locking element (10) has a sloping wedge surface (13). Projecting from the wedge surface (13) is an engagement surface (12) with which the attachment pin P2 can engage but not apply any substantial driving force to the wedge locking element (10) in the event of failure of a force maintaining the wedge locking element (10) in a position where the pin P2 is retained with the coupler A. The pin engagement surface (12) lies in a plane that is substantially in line with the direction in which the locking element (10) is, in use, moved by the driving force.

  • Publication number: 20230380815
    Abstract: A non-invasive system for sampling gastrointestinal microbiota with their associated environment for discovery, characterization, medical research, diagnostics, and treatment using an ingestible, non-digestible sampling capsule. The capsule device, with ports open for acquiring a sample of gastrointestinal microbiota and content, is placed inside an immediate or delayed release capsule. When the outer capsule dissolves according to its specifications, enteric fluid and content enters the sampling capsule through the ports triggering a hydrophilic stop to release a pulling force to close the ports by enveloping the capsule outer casing over the inner casing, capturing the sample, and holding it sealed until it completes passage through the digestive track, and is recovered from feces for analysis.
