  • Patent number: 11996604
    Abstract: A mounting assembly for cellular communication components includes a support mast and a mast bracket with w-shaped geometry. The mast bracket includes a central body defining a groove to receive the support mast. The mast bracket also includes a first support tab extending from the central body opposite the groove in a first direction. The first support tab defines a first slot. A second support tab extends from the central body opposite the groove in the first direction with the second support tab substantially parallel to the first support tab and defining a second slot. A device bracket is coupled to the mast bracket and comprises an elongated body to receive cellular equipment. A third support tab extends from the elongated body opposite the mating surface and defines a fifth slot. A fastener extends through the first slot, the second slot, and the fifth slot.

  • Publication number: 20240171722
    Abstract: Eyewear including a sensor integrated into frame of eyewear. In one example, the sensor comprises a strain gauge, such as a metallic foil gauge, that is configured to sense and measure distortion of the frame when worn by a user and under different force profiles, by measuring a strain in the frame when bent. The measured strain by strain gauge is sensed by a processor, and the processor performs dynamic calibration of image processing based on the measured strain. The distortion measured by the strain gauge is used by the processor to correct calibration of the cameras, and the displays.

  • Publication number: 20240164670
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the parenteral procurement of bodily-fluid samples. The present invention is also directed to systems and methods for parenterally procuring bodily-fluid samples with reduced contamination from dermally-residing microbes. In some embodiments, a bodily-fluid withdrawing system is used to withdraw bodily fluid from a patient for incubation in culture media in one or more sample vessels. Prior to withdrawing bodily fluid into the one or more sample vessels for incubation, an initial volume of withdrawn bodily fluid is placed in one or more pre-sample reservoirs and is not used for the incubation in culture media.

  • Publication number: 20240168504
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a temperature map of a food item in a cooking apparatus, where the temperature map comprises a plurality of regions of the food item and associates a temperature with each region, and the cooking apparatus cooks according to an initial heating technique. The method includes determining, by a computing device, whether a temperature associated with at least one region of the food item violates a predetermined temperature constraint, and in response to a determination that the temperature associated with at least one region of the food item violates a predetermined temperature constraint, then determining an optimal heating technique and instructing the cooking apparatus to cook according to the optimal heating technique. In response to a determination that the temperature of each region does not violate a predetermined temperature constraint, the method includes determining that the initial heating technique should not be changed.

  • Publication number: 20240159246
    Abstract: A split volute for a centrifugal pump is disclosed that provides a manufacturing advantage by improving the yield of high-chrome iron casting, providing for full surface coating capability using line-of-sight spray coating systems. Performance improvements include improved pump efficiency, abrasion resistance, and volute lifetime. Additional operational cost savings are enabled through reduced time required for common volute maintenance procedures and an increased replacement interval for the volute. Taken together, these advantages reduce the total cost of ownership of the split volute pump system.
