Patent number: 11964515Abstract: An integrated tread wear sensor and tire pressure monitoring system sensor unit container for a tire includes a tread wear sensor plug and a sensor container. The tread wear sensor plug includes a cylindrical projection extending through an opening formed in a selected tread element of the tire. A flange extends outwardly from the projection and includes a contact surface that is mounted to an innerliner of the tire. A conductive wire is disposed in the tread wear sensor plug and includes proximal ends disposed in the flange and a distal end disposed near a radially outer surface of the projection. The sensor container includes a wall extending radially from the flange of the tread wear sensor plug and terminating in a lip. A container cavity is defined by the flange, the wall, and the lip, and receives a tire pressure monitoring system sensor.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Jeffrey McKay West, Arun Kumar Byatarayanapura Gopala, Michael William Kestner, Junling Zhao, Peter Jung-min Suh

Patent number: 11951289Abstract: A piston having a longitudinal axis and opposing proximal and distal axial ends is manufactured by a method including molding a partially formed piston body and then molding the piston. The partially formed piston body is molded by placing a first rubber sheet and an inert film between die plates of a first forming tool, vulcanizing the first rubber sheet and the inert film between the die plates of the first forming tool, and blanking out the partially formed piston body from the first rubber sheet and the inert film. The piston is then molded by placing the partially formed piston body into a second forming tool, placing a second rubber sheet into the second forming tool, vulcanizing the second rubber sheet and the partially formed piston body together, and blanking out the piston from the second rubber sheet at a trim edge spaced apart from the inert film.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey M. Laubach, Jurgen Brinkhues, Heike Gruen, Joel Worman, Xia Zhao, Jason Mattia

Patent number: 11938762Abstract: A tire sensor attachment structure is provided. The tire includes a pair of bead areas, a sidewall extending from each respective bead area to a tread, a carcass extending toroidally between each of the bead areas, and an innerliner that is disposed radially inwardly of the carcass. A sensor housing is attached to the innerliner, and defines an interior chamber. A sensor is disposed in the chamber. The tire sensor attachment structure includes a compressible body that is disposed in the chamber between the sensor and the innerliner.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Junling Zhao, Peter Jung-min Suh, Jeffrey McKay West, Arun Kumar Byatarayanapura Gopala, Michael William Kestner

Publication number: 20240089405Abstract: A best available video stream is determined for each of multiple conference participants within a conference room including multiple cameras based on scores determined for video streams obtained from the cameras. The scores are determined based on representations of the conference participants within the video streams, for example, based on percentages of conference participant faces visible within the video streams, directions of conference participant faces relative to the cameras, directions of eye gaze of the conference participants relative to the cameras, and/or degrees to which conference participant faces are obscured within the video streams. The best available video streams are output for rendering within separate user interface tiles of conferencing software.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Anna Deng, Yanjia Duan, Juntao Feng, Tianming Gu, Cynthia Eshiuan Lee, Bo Ling, Chong Lv, Jeffrey William Smith, Menglin Wang, Huixi Zhao, Xingguo Zhu

Publication number: 20240088031Abstract: A microelectronic device includes a stack structure including a block region and a non-block region. The block region includes blocks separated from one another in a first horizontal direction by insulative slot structures and each including a vertically alternating sequence of conductive material and insulative material arranged in tiers. At least one of the blocks has stadium structures individually including staircase structures having steps comprising edges of some of the tiers. The non-block region neighbors the block region in the first horizontal direction. The non-block region includes additional stadium structures individually terminating at a relatively higher vertical position within the stack structure than at least one of the stadium structures at least partially within boundaries thereof in a second horizontal direction orthogonal to the first horizontal direction. Related memory devices, electronic systems, and methods are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Lifang Xu, Bo Zhao, Jeffrey D. Runia, Nancy M. Lomeli

Publication number: 20200033159Abstract: Magnetic field sensors are disclosed. Furthermore, a method for providing magnetic field sensors is disclosed. In one implementation, a magnetic field sensor includes a magnet and a magnetic field sensing element. In some implementations, the magnet at least partially surrounds the magnetic field sensing element. Specifically, in some implementations, the magnet includes a cavity defined by one or more surfaces of the magnet. In some implementations, the magnetic field sensing element is disposed in the cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2017Publication date: January 30, 2020Applicant: HAMLIN ELECTRONICS (SUZHOU) LTD.Inventors: Jeffrey ZHAO, Sophie YU, Seong-Jae LEE

Patent number: 8128183Abstract: A rack system for housing electronic and/or electrical equipment is provided comprising a rectangular base frame, a rectangular top frame, and four elongated vertical support members each extending along a longitudinal axis between and joined to two associated corners of the rectangular base frame and the rectangular top frame. The rectangular base frame, rectangular top frame, and the four elongated vertical support members may be constructed from members having the same substantially A-frame cross-section. Each support member may be constructed from an elongated sheet material extending along a longitudinal axis by bending the sheet material about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sheet material to form at least three elongated sections, where a first section and a second section are adjacent and substantially perpendicular to each other and a third section extends between approximately mid-point of the first section and approximately mid-point of the second section.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2009Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Sanmina SCI-CorporationInventors: Wyat Shen, James Weir, Zia Shariff, Leonard Selinger, Don Rudkin, Brett Anthony Kostka, Peter Dong, Jeffrey Zhao, Nick Wang
