  • Publication number: 20190294404
    Abstract: One or more embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for providing media presentations to users of a media presentation system. A media presentation generally includes a plurality of media segments provided by multiple users of the media presentation system. In one or more embodiments, a user of the media presentation system may share a media presentation with a co-user. The media presentation system can enable the co-user, if authorized by the user, to contribute (e.g., add a media segment) to a media presentation shared with the co-user.

  • Patent number: 10401053
    Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a desiccant, first and second fans, and a bracket. The first fan generates a process airflow through a first portion of the desiccant as it rotates in order to provide dehumidification. The second fan generates a reactivation airflow through a second portion of the desiccant as it rotates in order to dry the desiccant. The bracket is configured to mount the first fan within the dehumidifier. The bracket includes a first portion coupled to the first fan that supports weight of the first fan when the dehumidifier is in an upright position. The bracket also includes a support member coupled to the first portion and a side of the dehumidifier. The side member supports weight of the first fan when the dehumidifier is in a horizontal position.

  • Patent number: 10359203
    Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a wheel-shaped desiccant, a first fan, and a second fan. The wheel-shaped desiccant is configured to rotate in a clockwise direction when viewed from above. The first fan is configured to generate a process airflow that flows through a first portion of the wheel-shaped desiccant in order to provide dehumidification. The process airflow enters a first side of the wheel-shaped desiccant and exits a second side of the wheel-shaped desiccant, the first being opposite from the second side. The second fan is configured to generate a reactivation airflow that flows through a second portion of the wheel-shaped desiccant in order to dry the wheel-shaped desiccant. The reactivation airflow enters the second side of the wheel-shaped desiccant and exits the first side of the wheel-shaped desiccant.

  • Publication number: 20190028271
    Abstract: Method and system for executing a one-time program comprising at least one instruction operating on at least one input value (a, b) and returning at least one output value (O), wherein each instruction of the one-time program is encoded onto a state of an elementary quantum system, comprising: encoding the at least one input value (a, b) onto a quantum gate according to a pre-defined input-encoding scheme; applying the quantum gate to the at least one elementary quantum system; making a measurement of a resulting state of the at least one elementary quantum system after the quantum gate; and determining the at least one output value from a result of the measurement.

  • Publication number: 20180372358
    Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a desiccant, a first fan, a second fan, and a circuit. The first fan generates a process airflow through a first portion of the desiccant as it rotates to provide dehumidification. The process airflow enters the dehumidifier through a process airflow inlet and exits through a process airflow outlet. The second fan generates a reactivation airflow through a second portion of the desiccant to dry the desiccant. The reactivation airflow enters the dehumidifier through a reactivation airflow inlet and exits through a reactivation airflow outlet. The circuit includes a power setting switch that controls whether the dehumidifier operates in a low or high power setting. In the low power setting, the dehumidifier operates on power from a first electrical outlet type. In the high power setting, the dehumidifier operates on power from a second electrical outlet type that is different from the first electrical outlet type.
