  • Patent number: 11709663
    Abstract: Specific images of an OS are built using only the driver bindings that are necessary to link the OS to the particular hardware of a client device. A device tree of the client device is analyzed to identify the hardware components. Databases of different hardware source code for various hardware drivers are maintained and used to craft the driver bindings and instances for the hardware of the client device. The device tree is also analyzed to identify compatibility strings of the various hardware on the client device. The hardware source code is searched for these compatibility strings to see if a driver exists in the databases of hardware source code. Specific driver bindings and driver instances with the actual variable names and configuration parameters of the identified hardware drivers are then generated and included in an image of the OS that may be installed on the client device.

    Abstract: An internally-manifolded solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack is described, including an anode interconnect structure integrated with a cathode interconnect structure. The anode interconnect structure includes a fuel flow field; and the cathode interconnect structure includes an air flow field. The two structures are configured to allow for parallel flow of air and fuel across a plane of the interconnect, while the manifold openings for the fuel are arranged in a cross-flow orientation across a plane of the interconnect structure. Related processes are also described, along with a power generation system that includes an SOFC incorporating this type of interconnect, attached directly or indirectly to at least one power block, such as a combustion engine.

  • Publication number: 20190282895
    Abstract: A method for controlling an interactive experience includes receiving local control inputs at a computing device facilitating the interactive experience and providing the local control inputs to the interactive experience, the control inputs being provided by a first input device associated with a primary experience participant. Audiovisual content associated with the interactive experience is provided to a plurality of remote viewer computing devices over a network. The computing device receives a command to initiate control sharing with a remote viewer and, over the network, receives remote control inputs from a second input device associated with the remote viewer, the second input device being physically distinct from the first input device. The remote control inputs are provided to the interactive experience as if the remote control inputs had originated from the first input device, the first input device still being associated with the primary experience participant.
