  • Publication number: 20240109697
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides components of packaging that is adapted for storing a product including a container having a body and a cover. The body and the cover define an internal storage compartment adapted for storage of a product. The body is configured to interact with the cover so as to form a joint when engaged. A sealing member is configured to substantially cover the joint, wherein the material of the sealing member is continuous and uninterrupted, thus limiting moisture loss from a product within the internal storage compartment. The sealing member is further configured to tear in a direction that is substantially parallel to the joint of the container.

  • Patent number: 11221427
    Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating reservoir productivity as a function of depth in a subsurface volume of interest are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain subsurface data and well data corresponding to a subsurface volume of interest; obtain a parameter model; use the subsurface data and the well data to generate multiple production parameter maps; apply the parameter model to the multiple production parameter maps to generate refined production parameter values; generate multiple refined production parameter graphs; display the multiple refined production parameter graphs; generate one or more user input options; receive the one or more user input options selected by a user to generate limited production parameter values; generate a representation of estimated reservoir productivity as a function of depth in the subsurface volume of interest using visual effects; and display the representation.

  • Patent number: 8904643
    Abstract: A vehicle seat frame provides a tilting feature for tilting the seat cushion. The frame includes side brackets (20) with a torsion tube (60) laterally-extending through an aperture (100) of the side brackets. The torsion tube is fitted against the side bracket through an internal swaging procedure to allow smooth rotation of the torsion tube within the side brackets. The torsion tube includes an annular protrusion (200) which provides an axial locking feature that tightly secures the subcomponents placed onto the torsion tube during vehicle operation.

  • Patent number: 5233323
    Abstract: Four magnetically actuable reed switches are configured in a unique biasing configuration and physical arrangement for providing a defeat resistant interlock/monitoring system with minimal switching circuitry. The switches are physically arranged so that two switches, mechanically biased in a normally closed state, lie between two switches, mechanically biased closed but magnetically biased in an open state, and are mutually perpendicular. The relative positions and orientations of the biased and nonbiased switches require two separate magnetic fields to activate the system. The system is only activated by an actuator which emits the magnetic fields required to actuate only the magnetically biased switches. The actuator magnet fields are oriented in the same direction as the biasing magnet fields. Adjustability of biasing magnets and a minimal number of switches and actuation magnets increase reliability of the system despite variations in actuator position.
