Publication number: 20230320533Abstract: A resilient scoop includes a handle and a rim. A bowl has an open end portion secured to the rim. The bowl is movable relative to the rim between a first, unbuckled condition and a second, buckled condition, where in the second condition the bowl is biased back toward the first condition. The bowl includes a base wall and a sidewall that extends from the base wall to the open end portion. The sidewall includes a smooth inner surface and an outer surface. The sidewall is configured such that a stiffness of the sidewall is less than a stiffness of the base wall. The sidewall resists movement of the bowl toward the second condition until an input force applied to the base wall is equal to or greater than a threshold reaction force of the sidewall directed toward the base wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2022Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventor: Luke Thompson

Publication number: 20210354804Abstract: An aircraft designed to provide sustained G forces, with a relatively high steady angle of attack maneuverability using less thrust by balancing thrust and drag to sustain a high turn rate with dual low thrust engines using novel wing and fuselage designs. The aircraft includes a wing oriented laterally relative to the fuselage, at least one horizontal tail surface extending laterally from the fuselage and positioned rearward of the fixed wing, and at least one vertical tail surface extending upward from the fuselage. The first and second engines are mounted to the fuselage at locations positioned vertically below the fixed wing.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Luc Van Bavel, Michael Derman, Jeffrey A. Gamon, Ian Gilchrist, James Donn Hethcock, JR., Dieter Koehler, David W. Levy, Michael Matarrese, Luke A. Thompson, Robert David Wyatt

Patent number: 11171909Abstract: Techniques are provided for delayed processing for arm policy determination for content management system messaging, including, during a delayed processing window, receiving reward data for arm actions taken, where the arm actions were chosen based on a previous version of an arm choice policy, and the previous version of the arm choice policy was determined based on a previous set of reward data for a previous set of arm actions taken. When the delayed processing window has closed, a new arm choice policy is determined based at least in part on the action-reward data, and the previous set of reward data and/or the previous arm choice policy. After a request to choose an arm choice is received, a particular arm action to take is determined based on the new arm choice policy. This chosen arm is provided in response to the request.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Aditi Jain, Manveer Singh Chawla, Thomas Berg, Swapnil Zarekar, Robert Kajic, Karandeep Johar, Aaron Feldstein, Walter Kim, Joe Nudell, Jenny Dong, Jared Wilson, Luke Thompson, David Kriegman
