  • Patent number: 11358673
    Abstract: A tube for a bicycle has a body, an indented portion, and a machined hole. The indented portion is radially recessed in the body and has an outer bottom surface, an outer annular surface, and a first round corner being a curved surface smoothly connecting an outer tube surface of the body and the outer annular surface. The machined hole is formed through the outer bottom surface of the indented portion and has an area being less than an area of the outer bottom surface. The indented portion formed around the machined hole distributes stress to prevent cracking occurring from an edge of the machined hole. The structural strength of the tube is increased under a same total weight.

  • Publication number: 20210326717
    Abstract: Techniques for code-free automated machine learning (ML) are described. Users can train high-quality ML models and pipelines without necessarily needing to write code by providing a training dataset to a code-free machine learning service. The service may deploy an ML orchestration function and a storage location on behalf of a user. When a modification is made to the storage bucket, such as by the user providing a training dataset, the orchestration function is invoked and can automatically initiate an AutoML process using at least the training data to train multiple ML model variants. The resultant ML model(s) and associated metrics can be provided to the user, deployed behind an endpoint, and/or used to generate inferences.

  • Patent number: 10182574
    Abstract: An automated preparation of flatbread, particularly tortillas, by an apparatus for includes packing dough portions in capsules for enabling the dough to be suitable for extended refrigerated and unrefrigerated storage. The capsules are gas-tight sealed with a foil and conveyed in upside-down position on a conveyor belt. The foil is removed by two adjacent shafts which grip the foil and tear it off. The capsule is then positioned on a holding ring and the dough portion falls downwardly onto a lower pressing and baking plate. An upper pressing and baking plate swivels downwardly by an actuator for pressing and baking the dough. After lifting the upper plate away, the finished flat bread glides out of the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20180055059
    Abstract: A capsule for receiving a portion of dough for producing a single piece of flat bread includes a first part and a second part sealingly closable for gastight encapsulation of a dough portion in a hollow portion for making a single piece of flat bread. A preferred execution of this capsule comprises a dome-like part with a radially extending circular edge section, which forms a groove along the circumference of an edge. The groove extends with its depth into the direction of the side of the dome-like part. The sealing foil spans over the opening of the dome-like part (80) and the edge section and groove and it is sealingly weldable or gluable onto the edge section for encapsulating a dough portion.

  • Patent number: 9803543
    Abstract: A system and a method for reducing a rotational imbalance of a drive train of a hybrid vehicle are provided. The drive train includes an internal-combustion engine, an electric machine, and a crankshaft. A reduction or nullification of the rotational imbalance takes place by actuating the electric machine. The actuation is implemented as an adaptive feed forward control, which provides an actuation signal for the electric machine. The actuation signal represents a desired torque to be generated by the electric machine, so that the electric machine outputs a torque that is at least approximately inverse with respect to the rotational imbalance to the crankshaft for the superimposition of the torque generated by the internal-combustion engine.

  • Publication number: 20170156639
    Abstract: A system for and method of mapping and monitoring posture disclosed. The system includes sensor units that independently collect posture data corresponding to body locations or body positions on subjects and generate posture signals. The posture signals are wirelessly transmitted to one or more computers that are used to process the posture signals and generate posture feedback of the subjects in real-time. The sensor units are preferably accelerometer sensor units. Sensor units are assigned or learn the body locations or body positions, classify body locations or body positions, map and monitor posture, assign posture or activities of subjects and transmit the posture signals to the one or more computers by low-power radio transmitters to provide posture feedback. The system collectively is adaptive for mapping and monitoring posture from body locations or body positions corresponding to spines, arms, legs, necks, heads, thighs, hips, feet and hands of the subjects.
