  • Patent number: 12160698
    Abstract: Portable ear-worn acoustic devices having a wingtip anchor for improved anchoring for active users and to accommodate a wide range of ear sizes and shapes are provided herein. Such acoustic devices an include an earbud device body and a wingtip anchor that extends from an outer face of the device body. The wingtip anchor can include a base portion and a protruding portion that extends upwards and is angled or curved inwardly so as to engage the upper concha of the ear. The wingtip anchor can be flexible so that engagement of a distal portion of the anchor exerts an inwardly directed spring force on the device body to maintain the earbud device body within the ear. Such acoustic devices can further include a multi-function button that is integrated with the wingtip anchor such that the base portion of the wingtip anchor is a faceplate for the multi-function button.

  • Publication number: 20240370303
    Abstract: Systems and methods herein are for seamless offload of a workload to data processing units (DPUs), where one or more processing unit receive a selection of a first one of the plurality of DPUs to perform the workload, and perform a background operation to select second ones of the plurality of DPUs based, at least in part, on capabilities associated with the first one of the plurality of DPUs being within a threshold, where the workload is to be performed in a load balancing arrangement of the first one and second ones of the plurality of DPUs.

  • Publication number: 20240308167
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes embodiments of a twin-screw press for extracting vegetable oils, and a process for extracting vegetable oils and/or seeds. Particularly, the twin-screw press provides a reduction in machine cost and maintenance due to low operating torque requirements and allows an improved operation with the oil extraction being greater than the oil loss. This is a consequence of allowing lower processing temperatures and pressures due to the geometry of the screw and the gap that it has with the draining element of the press cage. This also permits reducing the possibility of material jamming or co-rotation of the cake in the press.

  • Patent number: 12095830
    Abstract: A method, a server, and a non-transitory computer readable medium are disclosed for sharing content. The method includes running, on a server, a video conferencing application, the video conferencing application configured to share audiovisual content between one or more first devices and the server; establishing, on the server, a video conferencing session, the video conferencing session connecting a second device to the server; receiving, on the server, content from the second device; and sharing, by the server, the content received from the second device joining the video conferencing session as a new participant with the one or more first devices on the video conferencing application.

  • Publication number: 20240293994
    Abstract: A lightweight multilayer substrate comprising a thermally compressed nonwoven core having a first surface and an opposed second surface, at least one top layer adhered to the first surface of the thermally compressed nonwoven core, and, optionally, at least one bottom layer adhered to the opposed second surface of the thermally compressed nonwoven core. The lightweight multilayer substrate has a specific modulus greater than 1200 (MPa/(g/cm3)) and a thermal expansion coefficient of less than 3×10?5 m/(m*° C.). The lightweight multilayer substrate is thermally balanced between 25° C. and 70° C.

  • Publication number: 20240082656
    Abstract: Golf clubs and golf club heads having a weight member that is configurable in multiple positions to alter the performance characteristics of the golf club head are presented. In some examples, the weight member may be arranged in a sole of the golf club head and may include ends having different weighting characteristics. For instance, one end may be heavier or denser than another end of the weight member. The difference in weight characteristics may be due to different materials used to form the different ends, different construction of the ends, and the like. The position of the weight member may be adjusted to alter the performance characteristics of the golf club head. For instance, the weight member may be removed and rotated to position a heavier end where a lighter end was previously positioned.

  • Patent number: 11930617
    Abstract: Information handling system (IHS) component immersion cooling systems and methods employ an apparatus having an IHS component immersion cooling flow passage housing disposed at (a) IHS component(s) of an IHS disposed in an immersion cooling tank. The IHS component immersion cooling flow passage housing has an immersion fluid inlet open to immersion fluid within tank and an immersion fluid outlet connected to a return line of an immersion fluid pump. The IHS component cooling apparatus flow passage housing may be a cold plate or a ducted heatsink disposed on, or about, the IHS component(s) of the IHS disposed in the immersion cooling tank. The immersion fluid pump may be the pump that also circulates the immersion fluid within the tank. The tank may include a manifold in fluid flow communication with the pump. This manifold may receive a plurality of return lines, each from an IHS component cooling apparatus.
