Patent number: 11675182Abstract: A method of operating a liquid lens can include positioning a variable interface between first and second liquids in a brace position in response to a brace trigger event. The variable interface can be adjustable between (a) a rest position in which a perimeter of the variable interface is spaced from a first window of the liquid lens by a rest distance and (b) the brace position in which the perimeter of the variable interface is spaced from the first window by a brace distance. The brace distance can be greater than the rest distance. In the rest position, the variable interface can have a rest surface area. In the brace position, the variable interface can have a brace surface area. The brace surface area can be less than the rest surface area.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Paul Ewing Langenbacher, Minjie Ma, Christopher R C Olson, Upendra Milind Phatak

Publication number: 20210061079Abstract: This invention is relevant to a bed cover of pickup truck that is easy to open and close. The bed cover of pickup truck includes one bed cover. The bed cover is easy to open and close with simple structure. The invention not only fixes the bed cover in the vertical direction, but also ensures that the container cover does not move forward or backward in the horizontal direction through the mutual cooperation of two locking structure. The bed cover can be opened and closed through the locking structure on both sides. Thus it is convenient to open and close the bed cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2019Publication date: March 4, 2021Inventors: JIAN SUN, BINYAN HE, YIPING MA, MINJIE MA
