  • Publication number: 20240084831
    Abstract: A closure device includes a first closure part, which includes a base element and at least one closure element movably arranged on the base element with a form-fitting portion arranged thereon, and a second closure part, which includes an engagement element with an engagement portion formed thereon. In an open position of the closure device the first closure part and the second closure part are separated from each other and can be attached to each other along a closing direction for closing the closure device. The form-fitting portion of the at least one closure element can be brought into engagement with the engagement portion of the engagement element in an engagement direction substantially transversely to the closing direction. On the at least one closure element of the first closure part a first magnetic element is arranged and on the engagement element of the second closure part a second magnetic element is arranged.

  • Patent number: 11609614
    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, systems and methods for a computer device with a casing and a substance in the casing substantially surrounding a computer component in the casing. In embodiments, the computer device may be a command and control computer, such as for example, an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle. In embodiments, the substance may be an electrically isolative and shear-thickening fluid to provide thermo-mechanical protection to a computer component. In the described embodiments, the substance may dampen mechanical shock or vibrational impact on the processor and the memory. The shear-thickening gel may further be thermally conductive in embodiments. In the embodiments, the casing may be substantially filled with the substance and the substance is to conduct heat away from the processor and the memory toward an outer edge of the casing. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11221006
    Abstract: Particular techniques involve a device for wetting multiple threads with a fluid, and a dosing pump which is connected to the wetting means by multiple conveying lines. The dosing pump has multiple conveying means for generating multiple dosing flows of the fluid and has multiple pump outlets, to which the delivery lines are connected. The conveying means are formed by at least one planetary gear set arranged between housing plates. To achieve, as far as possible, a uniform throughflow without a significant dead space volume, multiple planet gears of the planetary gear set are guided freely by a centering plate between adjacent housing plates. The planet gears of the planetary gear set have in each case one passage opening, which are connected by a channel system to a central pump inlet. It is thus possible to realize close fits and flushing of gaps.

  • Patent number: 10614227
    Abstract: Vulnerable code allows outside actors to interfere with the normal operation of current systems. To help defend against these outside actors, it is desirable to identify vulnerabilities in existing systems, including systems where the original source code is not available for study. Described herein are methods for identifying functional attributes that change the intended operation of a compiled binary extracted from a target system.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, processing, and techniques related to may generally relate to a printed circuit board (PCB) with one or more strain gauges integrated into the PCB, where the strain gauges are to facilitate an evaluation of PCB integrity during operation of the PCB. The strain gauge may include discrete strain gauges integrated into the PCB at potentially critical stress points within the PCB. The strain gauge may include an electrically conductive daisy chain formation of solder bumps where a change in electrical resistance along the daisy chain formation indicates a strain on the PCB. The strain gauge may include one or more traces included in the PCB, where a change in electrical resistance along the one or more traces is to indicate a strain on the PCB.
