  • Patent number: 11342741
    Abstract: The techniques described herein may provide for more efficient power management of equipment based on weather conditions. For instance, weather measurements (e.g., or weather forecasts based on weather measurements) may be used to determine whether or not to initiate a power disconnect procedure. When some weather condition (e.g., wind, temperature, rain, humidity, etc.) exceeds a threshold, a power disconnect procedure may be initiated such that a power source of certain equipment may be disconnected from a power distribution system. In some examples, an environmental monitor may send environmental measurements or conditions to a programmable processor. In instances where the programmable processor determines that some environmental threshold or condition has been met, the programmable processor may send a disconnect signal (e.g., a disconnect power signal) to a power disconnect device. The power disconnect device may thus disconnect the power distribution system from the power source.

  • Publication number: 20220039783
    Abstract: A device is provided to assist in closing an incision through body tissue that comprises a tubular body sized for introduction through the incision and carrying a plurality of stabilizer elements at the distal end thereof. The stabilizer elements are configured to be deployed within the body cavity to engage the lowermost tissue layer. In one method, the device is pulled with the stabilizer elements deployed to retract the body tissue away from adjacent body structure. In another method, a plurality of needle tips carrying sutures are guided through the body tissue to a retention device at the ends of the stabilizer elements. With the needle tips captured in the retention devices, the device is withdrawn from the incision so that the sutures form ligatures that can be tied off to close the incision.

  • Publication number: 20210362811
    Abstract: A boat including one or more seats, which may be aft-facing. The seat includes a seat bottom, which may be movable between a first position and a second position. The second position is a position in which the seat bottom is pivoted upwardly relative to the position of the seat bottom in the first position to allow access to a hidden compartment. The seat may also include a leg rest. The leg rest may extend aft of the transom, and may extend in a direction that is at a downward angle relative to the seat bottom. The leg rest may also have a length such that a gap is present between the leg rest and a surface beneath the leg rest.

  • Patent number: 11132024
    Abstract: An electronic device having a battery assembly is disclosed. Unlike traditional battery assemblies that include rectilinear electrodes with two sides of equal length, the battery assemblies described herein may include electrodes having a shape/configuration resembling an L-shape electrode used to form chemical reactions in order to generate electrical energy. However, other shapes/configurations are possible. The shape/configuration of the housing of the battery assembly confirms to the shape/configuration of the electrodes. Further, in order to accommodate an internal component (such as a circuit board assembly), the shape of the battery assembly provides additional space in the electronic device. In order to form the electrodes, the electrodes may undergo a die cutting operation. Also, the housing may include a channel, or reduced dimension, that accommodates a flexible circuit in the electronic device that passes over the battery assembly at the channel.

  • Publication number: 20210272654
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for performing a process on biological samples. An analysis of biological samples in multiple regions of interest in a microfluidic device and a timeline correlated with the analysis may be identified. One or more region-of-interest types for the multiple regions of interest may be determined; and multiple characteristics may be determined for the biological samples based at least in part upon the one or more region-of-interest types. Associated data that respectively correspond to the multiple regions of interest in a user interface for at least a portion of the biological samples in the user interface based at least in part upon the multiple identifiers and the timeline. A count of the biological samples in a region of interest may be determined based at least in part upon a class or type of data using a convolutional neural network (CNN).

  • Patent number: 11093100
    Abstract: A virtual reality device can implement varying interactive modes for document viewing and editing by displaying, at an application container level, a current mode view in a view frame of the virtual reality device; and in response to receiving an overview command trigger, determining context, including that the current mode view is at the application container level; expanding to a next level view of, e.g., a task level or an overview level; and displaying, at a next level, the next level view in the view frame of the virtual reality device. The current mode view of the application container level includes a container space of an application and an application container level rule for the container space. Conversely, the virtual reality device can adjust the next level view back to the application container level in response to a focused command trigger and identified region of interest.

  • Patent number: 11084517
    Abstract: A steering wheel cover has an inner core and an outer casing. The inner core has a tubular body portion and a pair of spaced-apart spines. The tubular body portion and spines together define an open-ended hollow channel that can be placed over a vehicle steering wheel via a gap between the spines. The inner core also has a plurality of crush ribs extending inwardly from an inner surface of the body portion. The crush ribs allow the inner core to be easily placed over multiple different sized steering wheels without slipping or otherwise moving on the steering wheel.

  • Patent number: 11059353
    Abstract: An air freshener includes a housing; scented beads contained within the housing; and a mounting clip for attaching the housing to a source of pressurized air. The housing has several air flow slots or openings and is rotatably coupled to the mounting clip so it can be rotated relative to the mounting clip and the air source to which it is attached to provide several “levels” of fragrance, including a “burst” of fragrance achieved by manually rotating the housing relative to the mounting clip to tumble and stir the scented beads in the housing.
