  • Router bit rack, system and method thereof
    Patent number: 11752616
    Abstract: A rack for supporting items defines a channel or trough to receive support bases or blocks therein. Each support base carries at least one item. One item may be a router bit. The rack and support base(s) may collectively define a router bit storage and display system that can be mounted to a support surface, such as a wall or a router table. The system enables a woodworker to safely store and easily access router bits for use in their router device when needed. The router bits are maintained spaced apart from each other when supported by the rack so as to not damage each other. The system can be modular or modularly expanded to grow with the woodworker such that when the woodworker acquires more router bits, the system can add more racks and support bases to ensure there is adequate room for the woodworker's additional router bits.

  • Device for Determining an Optical Characteristic of a Camera
    Publication number: 20230262315
    Abstract: The techniques of this disclosure relate to determining an optical characteristic of a camera. The device includes a housing that receives a test fixture retaining a camera. The housing includes a first segment and a second segment creating a chamber surrounding the camera. The first segment is attached to the test fixture and defines a first orifice located in a side of the first segment. The first orifice directs a flow of a gas out of the chamber. The second segment defines a second orifice located in a first side of the second segment to direct the flow of the gas into the chamber. An aperture is located in a second side of the second segment and positioned opposite the test fixture to define a field of view that includes a camera target. The aperture receives a lens barrel of the camera and enables the determination of the optical characteristic.

  • INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE SERVICE
    Publication number: 20230259390
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to providing a simplified interface by a cloud platform to an IaC service. According to an example, operational details associated with multiple infrastructure as code (IaC) tools are abstracted by providing an application programming interface (API) of an IaC service through which multiple IaC templates are available for use to deploy workloads against multiple services within a cloud platform. Each IaC template describes a workload according to an IaC tool and specifies input parameters for the workload. A request to create a deployment based on a particular IaC template is received via the API. The request is satisfied by internally executing the IaC tool associated with the particular template based on parameter values supplied for the specified input parameters for the particular workload.
