  • Patent number: 11922431
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method carried out by a content-presentation device may include transmitting a consent-processing request, including an identifier string unique to the device, to a consent management platform disposed in a computing cloud. The string may be used to establish an interactive session for user selection of consent options associated with a consent package having consent features of a media distribution system that require user consent for activation on the device. The consent package may be one of multiple consent packages targeted for the device by the consent management platform. The interactive session may prompt for consent choices of consent options, each choice being acceptance or rejection of consent to activating features of the consent package. The consent choices may be provided to the consent management platform via the interactive session, and corresponding information may be stored in a device-based activation whitelist for each consent-to feature.

  • Publication number: 20230349691
    Abstract: Techniques are described by which to enable uniform machined parts inspection processes. A device comprising a memory and a processor may be configured to perform the techniques. The memory may store a unified scan of a workholding piece with a machined part, where the unified scan defines a coordinate system for the workholding piece. The memory may also store a reference model of the machined part. The processor may align, based on the coordinate system for the workholding piece, the unified scan of the workholding piece with the machined part to the reference model, and perform, after aligning the unified scan to the reference model, a comparison of the unified scan to the reference model. The processor may output, based on the comparison, an indication of compliance or non-compliance with the tolerances for the machined part.

  • Patent number: 10927897
    Abstract: A bearing assembly comprises an inner ring comprising an inner ring raceway, an outer ring comprising an outer ring raceway, rolling elements configured to roll or rotate between the inner ring raceway and the outer ring raceway, at least one electrically conductive part with a first end and a second end, and a seal coupled to the at least one electrically conductive part. The seal is configured to directly contact only one of the inner ring or the outer ring. The first end is configured to electrically contact one of the inner ring and the outer ring and the second end is configured to electrically contact the other of the inner ring and the outer ring.

  • Publication number: 20190081538
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to mitigate electrical voltage on a rotating shaft are disclosed. An example grounding brush system mitigates electric current in a rotating shaft, the grounding brush system comprising: a brush assembly configured to be disposed proximate a motor shaft, the brush assembly having conductive filaments configured to be in electrical continuity with the motor shaft when the brush assembly is disposed proximate the motor shaft; and a conductive coating comprising a base liquid and conductive particles, in which the conductive coating coats at least respective portions of the conductive filaments so as to provide an electrical path between the conductive filaments and the motor shaft.

  • Publication number: 20070007370
    Abstract: A one piece metal formed liquid spray nozzle adapted for economical manufacture and clog free usage in contaminated work environments. The nozzle has an integrally formed cylindrical protrusion that extends coaxially from a conical plateau surface disposed between laterally spaced guide walls in a manner that facilitates air flow about the discharge orifice for preventing the undesirable buildup of solids.
