  • Patent number: 11941973
    Abstract: A doorbell including a housing and mount that can be engaged such that the housing is pivotable or otherwise movable relative to the mount for engagement with the mount and/or for activation of a doorbell switch. A latch can secure the housing to the mount so the housing is secured to the mount. A switch located in a space defined by the housing and mount can be actuated based on movement of the housing relative to the mount.

  • Patent number: 11929869
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosure disclosed herein provide techniques for detecting anomalies across one or more components within a distributed computing system, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. An anomaly detection system retrieves event data associated with a real-time stream of events generated by one or more components within a distributed computing system. The anomaly detection system computes a failure metric based on the event data. The anomaly detection system determines that the failure metric exceeds a dynamically adjustable trigger condition. The anomaly detection system generates an alert associated with the failure metric.

  • Publication number: 20240077308
    Abstract: A metrology system includes a radiation source, an adjustable diffractive element, an optical system, an optical element, and a processor. The radiation source generates radiation. The adjustable diffractive element diffracts the radiation to generate first and second beams of radiation. The first and second beams have first and second different non-zero diffraction orders, respectively. The optical system directs the first and second beams toward a target structure such that first and second scattered beams of radiation are generated based on the first and second beams, respectively. The metrology system adjusts a phase difference of the first and second scattered beams. The optical element interferes the first and second scattered beams at an imaging detector that generates a detection signal. The processor receives and analyzes the detection signal to determine a property of the target structure based on the adjusted phase difference.

  • Publication number: 20230356049
    Abstract: A hockey-stick blade includes a heel region, a toe region spaced longitudinally from the heel region, and a mid-region located between the heel region and the toe region. The toe region includes one or more reinforcing elements, optionally of different lengths, located at different vertical positions within the toe region. The blade further includes a hosel that optionally is tailored to substantially match the strength and stiffness characteristics of an attached or integral hockey stick shaft. The mid-region of the blade exhibits improved feel and flexibility characteristics due to the increased stiffness in the toe region.

  • Patent number: 11616719
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a sticky canary router routes each request associated with a service to either a canary cluster of servers that implement a modification to the service or a baseline cluster of servers that do not implement the modification. The sticky canary router implements a mapping algorithm that determines the routing of each request based on a current time, a time window for the routing, and a characteristic of the request. Notably, the mapping algorithm may be implemented such that, for time segments with duration equal to the time window, the sticky canary router routes all requests received from a particular device in a consistent fashion—either to the canary cluster or to a baseline cluster. Configured thusly, the sticky canary router enables the analysis of approximately full sections of client interactions with the canary servers, thereby facilitating identification of client-side effects of the changes.

  • Patent number: 11534668
    Abstract: A hockey-stick includes a blade and a shaft. The blade includes a heel region, a toe region spaced longitudinally from the heel region, and a mid-region located between the heel region and the toe region. The blade optionally also includes a hosel to which the shaft is attached. One or more tuning rods or similar structures are positioned in the blade to increase the blade's stiffness to substantially match the stiffness of the shaft. The tuning rods are optionally located in the mid-region of the blade and may extend into the hosel and, in some cases, into the shaft or the toe region.

  • Publication number: 20210214291
    Abstract: The use of lycopene has been demonstrated to be effective in decreasing risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease, skin cancer and prostate cancer in mammals. Lycopene is difficult to solubilize in its native trans-lycopene form. Cis-lycopene, formed by applying thermal energy generated by excitation of polar molecules through microwave-assisted processing, appears in several isomeric forms. The cis isomers are effective in improving lycopene micellularization, bioaccessibility and mammalian absorption. The cis isomers are effective in improving vascular circulation of lycopene by way transport vesicle low density lipo-protein (LDL).
