  • Patent number: 12171367
    Abstract: An artificial gravity heating system includes a cylindrical compartment formed of a hollow cylinder having a bottom base and an open top end. An electric motor rotates the cylindrical compartment to provide centripetal motion of materials inside the cylindrical compartment. While rotating, the materials move towards an inner wall of the cylindrical compartment. A heating element is conductively coupled along an outer wall of the cylindrical compartment for heating the materials against the inner wall via conduction. A temperature sensor is operatively coupled to the cylindrical compartment for monitoring a temperature of the cylindrical compartment. A controller is configured to control operation of the heating element based on the temperature monitored via the temperature sensor. An artificial gravity heating method is used to process materials including heating ingredients to cook food. The artificial gravity heating system may also be configured as a vapor generator dehydrator or a thermal gas generator.

  • Publication number: 20240350890
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to generating various predictive overlays over a video of a tennis match. Tracking data of a tennis match can be processed to derive insights into the tennis match. For example, the tracking data can indicate a current state of the match and a likelihood of a ball being returned to various regions of the court. This can be used to create a first overlay that can be added over a video of the tennis match. Further, player rankings based on various categories (e.g., technical, tactical, mental, physical) can be generated to provide insights into skills of each player relative to other ranked players. Additional insights, such as a forecast predicting a likelihood of winning an upcoming match or tournament can also be generated. A player card can be generated using such information to provide various aspects of a player skill onto a single output.

  • Publication number: 20240324155
    Abstract: A shield can for an electronic eyewear device is described that reduces RF signals emanating from the electronic eyewear device. The shield can is attached to a ground plate of the electronic eyewear device using leaf springs on a side of the shield can. The leaf springs do not add to the stack-up thickness of the shield can assembly and provide a balanced force against the ground plate. The shield can is attached to a printed circuit board and encompasses radio frequency (RF) electronic components to prevent RF signals emanating from the RF electronic components. The leaf springs have a pair of fingers providing the balanced mechanical point force. A conductive pressure sensitive adhesive is also provided to secure a top surface of the shield can to the ground plate along with a thermal paste.
