  • Patent number: 11925208
    Abstract: A reservoir assembly that holds a non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation in a reservoir includes a reservoir assembly connector assembly defining a connector conduit, and which may be configured to detachably couple with a non-nicotine vaporizer assembly based on a connector element of the non-nicotine vaporizer assembly engaging with the connector conduit of the connector conduit. The reservoir assembly may include an isolation structure configured to move in relation to both the reservoir and the non-nicotine vaporizer connector assembly between a first position where the isolation structure exposes the non-nicotine vaporizer assembly to the reservoir and at least partially obstructs the connector conduit to restrict the connector element from disengaging from the connector conduit, and a second position where the isolation structure isolates the non-nicotine vaporizer assembly from the reservoir and opens the connector conduit to enable the connector element to disengage from the connector conduit.

  • Patent number: 11928211
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing a machine learning approach to modeling entity behavior. Fixed information and periodically updated information may be utilized to predict the behavior of an entity. By incorporating periodically updated information, the system is able to maintain an up-to-date prediction of each entity's behavior, while also accounting for entity action with respect to ongoing obligations. The system may generate behavior scores for the set of entities. In some embodiments, the behavior scores that are generated may indicate the transactional risk associated with each entity. Using the behavior scores generated, a user may be able to assess the credit riskiness of individual entities and instruct one or more individuals assigned to the entities to take one or more actions based on the credit riskiness of the individual entities.

  • Publication number: 20240069605
    Abstract: A computing device includes a first display-supporting frame rotatably coupled to a second display-supporting frame along a hinge axis via a hinge assembly comprising a central spine extending parallel to the hinge axis. A flexible display is supported by the first display-supporting frame and the second display-supporting frame. A spine cover plate extends over the central spine and is moveably coupled to the hinge assembly for translation relative to the central spine as the first display-supporting frame is rotated relative to the second display-supporting frame.

  • Publication number: 20220114871
    Abstract: A security alarm management system and method includes a reader device, a person counter, and an alarm. The reader device reads security tags within a range of the reader. The person counter detects people passing through a point of entry. The person counter can determine a direction of travel of people passing through the point of entry. A white-list includes entries or product identifiers that will not trigger an alarm. The alarm is triggered if conditions associated with the reader device, person counter, and white-list are met.

  • Patent number: 9675918
    Abstract: At least one embodiment of the invention relates to a centrifugal/cyclone separator which separates particles, liquid droplets and or condensing mists (water based and or hydrocarbon based nature) from gases without using a filter element. The design relies on the use of the inlet spiral tube, a first conical fin and the second conical fin, and the step on the cylindrical body and the extension of the vortex finder below second conical fin. With another embodiment, the design differs in that it relies on the insert with threaded or open area forming a flow path like spiral tube, while relying on the same or similar components as with the first embodiment listed above.

  • Patent number: 9280228
    Abstract: A hand-held control device includes a housing including first and second housing pieces and a touch pad attached to an exterior surface of the first housing piece. The second housing piece defines a coupler well containing an electrical header. A speaker retention structure on an interior surface of the second housing piece includes an annular wall extending from an interior surface of the first housing piece and including a plurality of gaps at spaced intervals, and a resilient speaker retention finger extending from the interior surface of the first housing piece in each of the gaps. A cable connector assembly includes a coupler containing a socket, and a control cable electrically connected to the socket within the coupler. The coupler is sized and shaped to fill a coupler well in the housing so that the socket is connectable to the electrical header in the coupler well.
