  • Patent number: 11345589
    Abstract: A microelectronic device package includes a host material and a gettering material. The microelectronic device package also includes a polymeric component between the host material and the gettering material. The polymeric component substantially encapsulates the gettering material. The microelectronic device package further includes a fluorochemical lubricant. The polymeric component serves to prevent a reaction between the fluorochemical lubricant and the gettering material. Alternatively, the fluorochemical lubricant may be encapsulated by a polymeric component and may be released upon an increase in temperature during or after a packaging step.

  • Publication number: 20220153622
    Abstract: A forehearth system includes a superstructure including refractory bricks that frame a molten glass tank, with a burner block including a discharge throat that extends its distal end formed from a refractory material that is within the superstructure above the molten glass tank. At least one oxygen fuel forehearth burner is within the burner block including a burner body, a fuel pipe within the burner body having a fuel inlet for receiving fuel and a fuel outlet, and an oxygen pipe within the burner body having an oxygen inlet for receiving oxygen and an oxygen outlet. The oxygen pipe is positioned coaxially outside the fuel pipe. The fuel outlet extends beyond the oxygen pipe and beyond the burner body so that the oxygen first reaching the fuel and thus a flame when operating is delayed until the discharge throat.

  • Publication number: 20220005262
    Abstract: An augmented reality boating and fishing system includes a client device comprising a client application, a computing system comprising a server-based application and a database datastore comprising topobathy data that are presented as data elevation model (DEM) data of a water body. The client application accesses the server-based application and the database datastore via a network connection. The server-based application includes an augmented reality (AR) engine, a computing algorithm, and a rendering engine. The AR engine receives the DEM data of the water body and environmental factor inputs and uses the computing algorithm to calculate fish probability distributions of various types of fish within the water body. The rendering engine fuses the calculated fish probability distributions and DEM data and generates an AR composite image that is viewed via the client device.

  • Patent number: 11105681
    Abstract: Millimeter wave energy is provided to a spectroscopy cavity of a spectroscopy device that contains interrogation molecules. The microwave energy is received after it traverses the spectroscopy cavity. The amount of interrogation molecules in the spectroscopy cavity is adjusted by activating a precursor material in one or more sub-cavities coupled to the spectroscopy cavity by a diffusion path to increase the amount of interrogation molecules or by activating the getter material in one or more sub-cavities coupled to the spectroscopy cavity by a diffusion path to decrease the amount of interrogation molecules.
