  • Publication number: 20250150106
    Abstract: Methods and device to implement the use of proximity sensor data and time-averaging specific absorption rate methods in determining whether to apply or remove a power back-off to a radio frequency transmitter. The methods and devices may be configured to detect whether a body is proximately located based on obtained proximity sensor data; define an upper threshold for a radio frequency (RF) transmit power and a lower threshold for the RF transmit power; calculate an average power of an RF transmitter over a fixed time period; and based on whether the body is detected, the average power, and a comparison of the average power to the upper threshold or the lower threshold, determine whether to apply or remove a power back-off to the RF transmitter.

  • Patent number: 8716580
    Abstract: A string-replacement assembly may be installed within an inner cavity of a body of a guitar or non-fretted string instrument. The assembly includes at least one cartridge configured to contain a supply of replacement string therein, corresponding to a particular string gauge for the guitar. Each supply of replacement string is rotatably mounted within a cartridge. A free end of each supply of the replacement string can be threaded through an exit opening in the body of the guitar for installation on a topside of the guitar or non-fretted string instrument. When a string needs to be replaced, a portion of the supply of the replacement string may be readily advanced from a corresponding cartridge to a desired length, and installed in a playing position on the topside of the guitar or non-fretted string instrument, to replace a removed portion of the string.

  • Publication number: 20060257539
    Abstract: An antimicrobial composition is provided that includes an amount of nisin and ?-poly-L-lysine effective for preventing an increase in microbial counts in a foodstuff. Nisin and ?-poly-L-lysine act synergistically to prevent increases in microbial counts in foods without affecting the foods taste and physical properties. This synergistic antimicrobial composition may be used to inhibit common food borne pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium botulinum, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as spoilage organisms such as Lactococcus spp., Lactobacillus spp., Leuconostoc spp., Streptococcus spp., etc.

  • Publication number: 20040121125
    Abstract: A bolt flange is provided with parallel grooves across its surface. One bolt flange surface has grooves that run in a vertical direction, while a second bolt flange surface has grooves that run in a horizontal direction, such that they are perpendicular to the grooves of the first bolt flange mating surface. The purpose of the grooves is to create a surface that consists of flexures. These flexures cause two effects to occur at the bolted interface. First, for a given clamping force, the resulting surface is greater because of the smaller contact area at the interface which in turn increases the friction force. Second, the flexures are sufficiently flexible enough to bend and not slide as the two interface surfaces move relative to each other. The flexure points may different configurations, i.e. squares, circles, triangles, or other geometric shapes.
