  • Patent number: 12534267
    Abstract: The dual mouth shotgun can may combine the advantages of a standard aluminum beverage can with a second opening to allow for a high rate of air flow and displacement resulting in a high rate of fluid flow from the can. The can may implement a stay-tab mechanism, or any other appropriate mechanism, for ease of use and familiarity, on the standard top opening, and may further implement a stay-tab mechanism, or other appropriate mechanism on the bottom or lower side of the can for shotgunning the fluid in the can. The dual mouth shotgun can may provide a user with a single opening mechanism on its top surface for normal drinking, and a second opening mechanism on its bottom or lower side surface for drinks shotgunning. In one embodiment the can may comprise an upper and a lower body that may be twisted relative to one another to expose an opening in the side of the can that allows for drinks shotgunning.

  • Publication number: 20250327395
    Abstract: The systems and techniques described herein illustrate elements of a non-contact boring system. Such elements include configurations for operation of a movable robotic excavation system that includes a non-contact boring element, and techniques for operation thereof. In certain embodiments, the system provides for automated or semi-automated control and, thus, provide for an automated excavation system that includes automated or semi-automated contact and/or non-contact boring tools. Additionally, a conical head may be disposed on an end of the non-contact boring system. The conical head may be utilized for spoil evacuation and may cause air to circulate in a manner that causes spoil to be airborne in front of the bore face, allowing for improved excavation of spoil generated by the non-contact boring. The conical head may also be utilized for determining the position of the non-contact boring system within the borehole.

  • Publication number: 20160078008
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to integrating experiences from at least two applications. In one scenario, an application at a computer system generates a request for visually-interpretable information from another application, where the second application is decoupled from the first application. The request includes context information associated with the first application. The computer system sends the generated request to the second application and receives visually-interpretable information from the second application. The visually-interpretable information is generated based on the context information associated with the first application. In some cases, the visually-interpretable information includes web page data displayable in a web browser application.
