  • Publication number: 20250048017
    Abstract: Various implementations include an open-ear headphone, including: an acoustic module including a distal sound-delivery end; a battery housing; and a flexible arm physically and electrically connecting the acoustic module to the battery housing, wherein the flexible arm defines an original resting length and position between the acoustic module and the battery housing, wherein the flexible arm is configured to retain the open-ear headphone on an ear of a user such that the distal sound-delivery end is located in the concha of the ear and the battery housing is located behind the ear, and wherein the flexible arm is configured to be flexed at least along a length thereof such that a space between the acoustic module and the battery housing can be adjusted.

  • Patent number: 12155988
    Abstract: A flexible arm that is configured to be located between and physically and electrically connect an acoustic module of an open-ear headphone to a battery housing of the open-ear headphone. The flexible arm defines an original resting length and position between the acoustic module and the battery housing. The flexible arm includes a flexible printed circuit that extends through the entire original resting length of the flexible arm and comprises a conductor that is configured to carry electrical energy between the acoustic module and the battery housing. A first interface structure is coupled to one of the acoustic module and the battery housing. A flexible material encases at least some of the flexible printed circuit and at least some of the first interface structure.

  • Patent number: 12118000
    Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method comprises generating a subscription identifier based on an original SQL query and determining if a set of first stage query results is associated with the subscription identifier in a cache. If so, the method further comprises generating a second stage SQL query based on a second subset of the plurality of clauses and the set of first stage query results, causing execution of the second stage SQL query to obtain a set of second stage query results from a database, and returning the set of second stage query results.

  • Patent number: 11327963
    Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method comprises processing clauses included in an original SQL query to add each clause to either a set of caching clauses or a set of non-caching clauses and determining whether a subscription should be created. In response to determining the subscription should be created, the method comprises creating the subscription by generating a first stage SQL query based on the set of caching clauses, causing execution of the first stage SQL query to obtain a set of first stage query results from a database; and storing the set of first stage query results in a cache.

  • Patent number: 8389878
    Abstract: A pad is disclosed for use in a weighing system for weighing a load. The pad includes a weighing platform, load cells, and foot members. Improvements to the pad reduce or substantially eliminate rotation of one or more of the corner foot members. A flexible foot strap disposed between the corner foot members reduces rotation of the respective foot members about vertical axes through the corner foot members and couples the corner foot members such that rotation of one corner foot member results in substantially the same amount of rotation of the other corner foot member. In a strapless variant one or more fasteners prevents substantially all rotation of a foot member. In a diagonal variant, a foot strap extends between a corner foot member and the weighing platform to reduce rotation of the foot member about a vertical axis through the corner foot member.

  • Patent number: 8304670
    Abstract: A system for weighing a load is disclosed. The weighing system includes a pad having at least one transducer for weighing a load disposed on the pad. In some embodiments the pad has a plurality of foot members and the weighing system may include a plate that disposed underneath the pad for receiving the plurality of foot member and for aligning the foot members when the weighing system is installed. The weighing system may include a spacer disposed adjacent the pad and in some embodiments, a spacer anchor operatively secures the spacer to a support surface, such as a plate, a railway bed, or a roadway. In some embodiments the spacer anchor operatively secures both the spacer and the pad to a roadway.
