Abstract: Examples herein relate to an apparatus. In some examples, an apparatus can include a first bracket connected to a first shaft, a second bracket connected to the first bracket, a variable torque bar connected to the first bracket and to a second shaft. The variable torque bar includes a plurality of notches to engage a tensioner mechanism and alter an amount of torque applied to the first shaft when the tensioner mechanism engages the respective notches of the plurality of notches.

Abstract: In one example, a hinge assembly is disclosed, which may include a first member and a second member rotatably connected to the first member through a mounting portion. The mounting portion may include a first surface having a first protrusion and a second surface, opposite the first surface, having a second protrusion. Further, the hinge assembly may include a first cam fixed to the first member and disposed adjacent to the first surface and a second cam fixed to the first member and disposed adjacent to the second surface. The first cam and second cam being engageable with the first protrusion and the second protrusion, respectively, to shift an axis of rotation of the second member.

Abstract: A decoration for a computing device includes at least one thermochromic pigment. The decoration is located next to a heat exhaust port of a computing device to change color based on the heat exhausted by the computing device. Further, a computing device may include a heat exhaust port for dissipating heat, and a decoration coupled to the computing device adjacent to the heat exhaust port. The decoration includes at least one thermochromic pigment to change color based on heat exhausted by the heat exhaust.

Abstract: A design and construction method for a Collapsible Cryogenic Storage Vessel can be used for storing cryogenic liquids. The vessel provides the ability to be packed for transport in a compact state and erected at the point of use. The vessel can be used multiple times. The vessel's volume can also be adjusted during use to minimize or eliminate head space in the vessel.

Abstract: Examples herein relate to a hinge. In some examples, a hinge can include a first bracket connected to a shaft, a second bracket connected to the first bracket, a member connected to the shaft and magnetically attracted to a magnet at a first position, where the member translates relative to the magnet to a second position as the shaft rotates about an axis of the shaft, and the magnet to generate a magnetic attraction force between the member and the magnet, where the magnetic attraction force is higher at the second position than the first position.

Abstract: A method of controlling an anti-snoring device is disclosed. The method includes the steps of capturing sound data within a period of time, sampling the sound data continuously, extracting multiple sound characteristic sections arising periodically from the sound data, and activating the anti-snoring device to stop snoring when the repeated occurrence count of the sound characteristic sections reach a threshold value.

Abstract: A bioprocess container consists of a flexible container, placed inside a heat exchanger. By providing a disposable agitation device inside the sealed container, a filled container can be stirred without having to open the container. Possible agitation elements include traditional stirrers, rotating magnetic rods, bladder devices integral with the structure of the container, as well as different devices for manipulating the shape of the sealed container. Finally, a containment disk is used to ensure that the magnetic rod is maintained in the magnetic field.

Abstract: A braking apparatus for imparting constant mechanical torque to effect a braking action is capable of operating in a constant, smooth, and adjustable manner, yet operates essentially independent of friction and temperature, as well as independent of rotational speed. The braking apparatus includes a hub assembly having a hub, a collar, a plurality of torsional springs, a spring cap, a spring bushing, and damping means, and a sprocket assembly having a sprocket, a hub bearing, a retaining ring, and a plurality of roller assemblies each of which has a roller. The sprocket assembly is rotatably connected to the hub assembly by a hub assembly spring, a sprocket assembly spring, an adjustment cap, and an adjustment means. The apparatus provides braking by releasably contacting at least one of each of the rollers with at least one of each of the torsional springs so as to deflect and then release the torsional spring as the sprocket assembly rotates about the hub assembly.
