  • Patent number: 11970870
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for preventing a user from moving beyond a first distance from a support structure. The apparatus comprises an extension member, comprising a first end and a second end that is opposite the first end. The first end is configured to be fixed to the support structure. The second end is movable relative to the first end along a plane and the second end is configured to extend away from the first end to an extended position and retract from the extended position towards the first end to a retracted position. The apparatus also comprises a flexible tether, having a fixed length and comprising an anchor end, attached to the second end of the extension member, and a user end, configured to attach to a user. The extended position is no more than a second distance away from the first end. The sum of the fixed length and the second distance is less than the first distance.

  • Publication number: 20220113757
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for intelligent tuning of overclocking frequency are disclosed. An example apparatus includes trial control circuitry to execute an optimization model to select first values for overclocking parameters of a processor, the first values associated with a first trial, and perform benchmark testing of the processor when the processor is operating based on the first values; trial evaluation circuitry to calculate a first score for the first trial based on the benchmark testing; and model updating circuitry to perform a comparison of the first score to a second score, the second score associated with a second trial for second values for the overclocking parameters, the second values different than the first values; and select one of the first values or the second values to overclock the processor based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 5645200
    Abstract: A garment hanger for garments and the like such as a jacket, wherein the garments are suspended from the same hanger, includes a hanger body member having arms extending in generally opposite directions and inclined with respect to each other and adapted to receive and support a jacket and the like. Pivotable rod means are mounted on the hanger body member below the arms for receiving another garment and supporting the same in spaced relation to the arms. Hook means on the hanger body member support the garment hanger on a hook receiving support. The rod means include a rod section located vertically below said arms whereby a garment may be positioned on the rod means absent displacement of a jacket supported by the arms in order to place a garment on the rod means. The arms include angled apertured mating end faces received in the body member and spring biased means are received in the body member, the hook including a portion which passes through the aperture in the end faces.
