  • Patent number: 11457603
    Abstract: A collapsible pet carrier includes: an interior space defined between opposing side walls, opposing end walls, a bottom wall, and a top wall. One of the walls may be opened to allow access to the interior space. An expandable rigid board is located at least partially within one the walls. In an expanded configuration of the pet carrier the board is located substantially along a length of one of the walls to provide support to the collapsible pet carrier when the collapsible pet carrier is expanded. In a collapsed configuration of the pet carrier the board extends along less than half of the length of one of the walls to allow the pet carrier to be folded along one of the opposing side walls, opposing end walls, bottom wall, and top wall.

  • Patent number: 10444393
    Abstract: A system for attenuating coherent noise from seismic data comprises one or more sensors configured to sense waves generated by a seismic source and a coherent noise attenuation module communicably coupled to the one or more sensors and comprising a processor and memory. The coherent noise attenuation module is operable to receive a plurality of traces of seismic data from the one or more sensors and apply a first transformation to the plurality of traces, identify one or more outlier waveforms in the transformed traces, attenuate the identified outlier waveforms, and apply a second transformation to the plurality of traces that is the inverse of the first transformation.

  • Patent number: 10426130
    Abstract: A collapsible pet carrier is provided and includes: an interior space defined between opposing side walls, opposing end walls, and a bottom wall; one or more straps attached to one of the opposing side walls and opposing end walls; a cover movably attached over a top opening of the collapsible carrier; a pair of opposing pockets located on an exterior portion of the bottom wall, the pair of opposing pockets separated by a slit; a board shaped to fit at least partially within the paid of opposing pockets and across the slit; and a closure mechanism formed along an edge of the exterior portion of the bottom wall. In an expanded configuration the board is located within both of opposing pockets. In a collapsed configuration the opposing side walls, opposing end walls, straps, and cover are folded towards the bottom wall.
