Abstract: An open-ear headphone includes an acoustic module, a battery housing, and a body coupled to the acoustic module. The acoustic module includes a portion that is configured to sit in a cavum conchae of an outer ear of a user, an acoustic transducer, and a first sound-emitting opening that is configured to emit sound produced by the acoustic transducer. The battery housing is configured to be located behind the outer ear and contains a battery power source. The body is coupled to the acoustic module and includes a first portion that is configured to pass over an outer side of at least one of an anti-helix and a helix and a lobule of the outer ear, and a second portion comprising the battery housing.

Abstract: A request is received to upgrade firmware of a set of disk array enclosures (DAEs) in a storage system. Each DAE is chained to another DAE by first and second chains. The first chain provides an active path from a host server to the DAEs. The second chain provides a secondary path from the host server to the DAEs. A determination is made as to whether the secondary path is operational. If the secondary path is operational, data of the active path is failed over to the secondary path, the active path now being an inactive path. Firmware along the inactive path is upgraded. If the secondary path is not operational, the request to upgrade firmware is denied.

Abstract: Systems and methods for location-based assignment of client device data are disclosed. A system can maintain data records associated with a player profile. The system can receive a request to access the player profile from a client device and determine location data of the client device. If the location data satisfies a first category, the system can filter the data records based on a data record type to generate a subset of data records and generate a first aggregate data record value based on a data record value of the subset of data records. If the location data satisfies a second location category, the system can generate a second aggregate data record value based on the data record value of each the data records. The system can provide, for display at the client device, an interface indicating the first aggregate data record value or the second aggregate data record value.

Abstract: A request is received to upgrade firmware for disk array enclosures (DAEs). Each DAE is reachable by a host server using first and second paths. The first path extends from a first port of a first HBA of the host server to each of a set of first input/output modules (IOMs) in the DAEs. The first IOMs have first SAS expanders to which storage disks are connected. A flag is set in firmware of each first IOM that causes SMP and SES protocol services of a DAE to mark each respective storage disk connected to each respective SAS expander of the first SAS expanders as vacant. During the firmware upgrade, advertising to a SAS driver topology change events indicating that a storage disk has been removed or added is withheld based on the flag.

The first port is changed from a first state during which a SAS driver exposes all topology change events to an OS of the host server to a second state during which the SAS driver does not expose all of the topology change events.

Abstract: An open-ear headphone with an acoustic module that is configured to be located at least in part in a concha of an outer ear of a user. The acoustic module includes an acoustic transducer, and a sound-emitting opening that is configured to emit sound produced by the acoustic transducer. A battery housing is configured to be located behind the outer ear and contains a battery power source. A compliant connecting portion couples the battery housing to the acoustic module. The connecting position enables displacement of the battery housing relative to the acoustic module.

Abstract: A computer system enables users to specify a plurality of cards that comprise a design interface or presentation, each card being renderable in a simulation or production environment, separate from other cards of the plurality of cards. The user can specify one or more sections or groupings of cards, where each section or grouping includes multiple cards. The user can specify multiple flow connections, including at least a first flow connection from one of the plurality of cards to a first section, where the cards of the first flow connection are not part of the first section. During a simulation rendering of the design interface, individual cards are rendered in a sequence that is based at least in part on one or more of the flow connections, including at least the first flow connection.

Abstract: An applicator assembly for applying a cord to a tire-building surface that rotates during tire construction. The applicator assembly includes an applicator member to apply the cord. A first rotary device rotates the applicator member about a first axis that is transverse to the surface. A first translation device moves the applicator member in a first linear path relative to the surface. The applicator member may include a roller and/or a resilient member. A second rotary device may rotate the applicator member and the first rotary device around a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. A second translation device may move the applicator member, the first rotary device, the second rotary device, and the first translation device. A system for applying the cord to a core member may further include a spindle to rotate the core member about the axis of rotation.
