  • Publication number: 20240131485
    Abstract: A method includes causing, by at least one processing device, organic material from at least one hopper of a set of hoppers to be provided to a mixer to create a blend, wherein each hopper of the set of hoppers is to store a respective composition of organic material, obtaining, by the at least one processing device from a sensor, sensor data indicative of an actual composition of the blend, determining, by the at least one processing device based on the sensor data, whether the actual composition of the blend satisfies a threshold condition with respect to a target composition of the blend, and in response to determining that the actual composition of the blend satisfies the threshold condition, causing, by the at least one processing device, the blend to be provided to a drying system for drying.

  • Patent number: 8614760
    Abstract: A mobile device with an integrated camera responsive to signals from a camera activator. The mobile device includes application programs capable of editing documents. The user triggers the device operating system to switch from an active application program in which the user is editing a document to a camera application by activating the camera activator. The user then captures an image by again triggering the camera activator, whereupon the active application is restored and the image data is inserted within the document. The captured image is directly inserted into an input field within the open document in the active application.

  • Patent number: 8593397
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a handheld electronic device. The device comprises a case and an audio transducer. The case has a housing, a cover, an indentation, a first opening and an audio transducer. The housing has a housing surface. The cover has a cover surface with at least a portion of the cover surface being disposed adjacent at least a portion of the housing surface; an elongated channel formed therein opposite the cover surface; an insert; and a lens disposed adjacent to the insert. The indentation is formed in at least one of the housing adjacent the housing surface and the cover adjacent the cover surface and the indentation is disposed between and forms a cavity in the case between at least a portion of the housing adjacent the housing surface and at least a portion of the cover adjacent the cover surface. The cavity is elongated along at least a first axis.

  • Patent number: 7714838
    Abstract: An improved handheld electronic device has a case with an elongated cavity formed therein. An audio transducer is in fluid communication with the cavity, and a number of sound openings are formed in the case and are in fluid communication with the cavity and with the atmosphere surrounding the handheld electronic device. The sound openings are generally spaced from a central region of the audio transducer to space the sound openings generally farther from an edge of the case than the audio transducer. The cavity is configured to form a Helmholtz resonator that enables the communication of sound through the cavity between the audio transducer and the sound openings. The spacing of the sound openings from an edge of a case helps a user to form a seal between the case and the user's ear to enable sound from the sound openings to enter the ear and to be perceived by the user.
