  • Patent number: 12528400
    Abstract: Mobile fulfillment container apparatus, systems, and related methods are disclosed. An example mobile container includes a storage area to move between a locked state and an unlocked state to provide access to inventory in the storage area; an electronic gating sensor to detect when the inventory has been removed from the storage area; and processor circuitry to output an instruction including a destination for the mobile container based on an order associated with the inventory.

  • Patent number: 12414244
    Abstract: In one aspect, a cable hub includes a housing having a base and a wall. The base has an interior surface and an exterior surface. A plurality of cable ports is disposed in the wall. A mounting magnet is affixed to the interior surface of the base. The mounting magnet has a sufficient pull strength for magnetically mounting the cable hub to a ferromagnetic surface upon placement of the exterior surface of the base against the ferromagnetic surface. The cable hub may be a Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub. In another aspect, a kit includes the cable hub and at least one ferromagnetic plate. The ferromagnetic plate may be affixable to a surface using an adhesive material.

  • Publication number: 20250269339
    Abstract: A liner can include a body dimensioned to fit within a cup of a blender and defining an inner volume and including an opening with a perimeter; a lip extending outward from the perimeter of the opening and dimensioned to engage a perimeter of an opening of the cup, such that when the liner is positioned within the cup, the resulting assembly is capable of being mechanically coupled with a blending assembly of the blender and provide a seal for the inner volume; and a lip-end structure configured to retain the lip of the liner relative to the perimeter of the of the opening of the cup when the liner is positioned within the cup, with the lip-end structure having a side-sectional shape that includes an inward-facing surface dimensioned to prevent inward lateral motion of the lip beyond the perimeter of the opening of the cup without a removing force.

  • Patent number: 12341307
    Abstract: A universal mobile computing device mount comprises a body, a clamp arm, and an insertable electrical connector. The clamp arm is extendible from, and resiliently biased towards, the body, and is configured to engage an edge surface of a mobile computing device. The insertable electrical connector is pivotably mounted in the clamp arm. The electrical connector is pivotable relative to the clamp arm to promote angular alignment of the electrical connector with a complementary electrical receptacle in the edge surface of the mobile computing device during mounting of the mobile computing device into the universal mobile computing device mount.

  • Patent number: 12295527
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a liner for a blender can include a body dimensioned to fit within a cup for the blender. The body can define an inner volume and include an opening with a perimeter configured to engage a perimeter of an opening of the cup, such that when the liner is positioned within the cup, the resulting assembly is capable of being mechanically coupled with a blade assembly to enclose the volume with one or more ingredients therein for blending operation by the blender.

  • Patent number: 11617410
    Abstract: At least one of the pair of shoes has a back portion of the shoe, cut from the collar of the back portion (the top of a shoe above the shoe-heel [the heel of the shoe]), and runs down the back of the shoe. The cut forms a slit running down the back portion of the shoe, forming a right-back portion and a left-back portion of the shoe. The right-side edge of the right-back portion and the left-side edge of the left-back portion are separable from the foot being inserted into the shoe. The right-side edge and the left-side edge return back to their positions when the foot is taken off or when the foot is fully inserted, not overlapping each other when the slit is not separated.
