Abstract: A foil displacement system includes one or more foils that can be deployed and stowed. When deployed, each foil can exert downforce or uplift depending on its orientation. For example, each foil may be positioned to have an angle of attack that creates a downward force effectively transmitted to the hull to pull the hull deeper within the water to, for example, create a larger wake. Use of the foil displacement system can enhance or replace the use of a ballast tank system, can be integrated into a new boat or retrofitted to existing boats, can be electronically or manually positioned, can enhance activities such as wake surfing, wake boarding, water skiing or other similar or related water sports.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a quick charge loss (QCL) mitigation manager for controlling writing data bits to a memory device. The QCL mitigation manager receives a first set of data bits for programming to memory. The QCL mitigation manager writes a first subset of data bits of the first set of data bits to a first memory block of the memory during a first pass of programming. The QCL mitigation manager writes a second subset of data bits of the first set of data bits to the first memory block during a second pass of programming in response to determining that the threshold delay is satisfied.

Abstract: A backpack for carrying pets includes a main body that has a compartment for carrying a pet, shoulder straps attached to the front of the main body, a brace attached to the back of the main body, and a yoke attached to the brace so that a singular hole is formed between the yoke and a top portion of the main body that defines a paw portal allowing the limbs of the pet to protrude from the backpack. A tail port can be included at a bottom of the main body to allow the tail of the pet to protrude from the main body. The main body and brace provide rigidity and adjustable compression to allow the pet to sit up in the main body when carried in the backpack. The main body has multiple entry and exit points for loading and unloading the pet.
