Publication number: 20240237731Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices and cartridges for aerosol delivery devices. The cartridge comprises a mouthpiece having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the mouthpiece having an exit portal defined therethrough, a tank defining a proximal end and a closed distal end, the tank being configured to contain a liquid composition that includes a distinctive characteristic, and a heater configured to heat the liquid composition. The distal end of the mouthpiece is configured to engage the proximal end of the tank, and when the cartridge is coupled with the aerosol delivery device at least one feature of the cartridge, or at least one feature of the control device, or at least one feature of both the cartridge and the control device, provides a visual indication of a color associated with the distinctive characteristic.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2024Publication date: July 18, 2024Inventors: Jared Aller, Charles Jacob Novak, III, Sean A.

Publication number: 20240126620Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically filtering privileged methods from unprivileged methods, and thus preventing privileged methods from being available to an unelevated consumer application executing on an information handling system. Filtering privileged methods from unprivileged methods may be performed, for example, by identifying any unprivileged method/s within an original implementation class of an elevated publisher software application that are eligible to be exposed to (e.g., shared with) an unelevated consumer software application via a named pipe, and implementing a corresponding dynamic publisher object on the elevated publisher software application and an intermediary dynamic consumer proxy class on the unelevated consumer software application to prevent the unelevated consumer software application from calling any other methods (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Daniel Thomas Daugherty, Ricardo Antonio Ruiz

Patent number: 11797320Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to manage screen sharing of local system windows from a local information handling system to other remote information handling systems by a screen sharing application. In one example, the disclosed systems and methods may be implemented to allow selected local system window/s to continue to remain visible to a local user on the local display screen of a local information handling system that is executing a screen sharing application, while at the same time blocking or otherwise preventing the selected local system window/s from being shared by the screen sharing application across a network with other remote information handling systems, e.g., that are participating with the local information handling system in a common web conference session.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Jonathan Nathan Yanez, Daniel Thomas Daugherty, Ricardo Antonio Ruiz

Publication number: 20170003463Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a method for manufacturing a photonic device that facilitates precise alignment of a laser with a waveguide. The method generally includes disposing the laser on a support member on a substrate such that the laser contacts the support member. The support member may extend in a direction perpendicular to a base plane of the substrate, and solder may be disposed on the base plane such that a height of the solder in the direction perpendicular to the base plane is less than a height of the support member so that a gap is created between the solder and the laser. Once the laser has been properly aligned with the waveguide, the solder may be heated (e.g., reflowed) so that the solder contacts the laser.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2015Publication date: January 5, 2017Inventors: Mary NADEAU, Thomas DAUGHERTY, Ravi Sekhar TUMMIDI, Vipulkumar PATEL

Patent number: 9343450Abstract: A wafer scale implementation of an opto-electronic transceiver assembly process utilizes a silicon wafer as an optical reference plane and platform upon which all necessary optical and electronic components are simultaneously assembled for a plurality of separate transceiver modules. In particular, a silicon wafer is utilized as a “platform” (interposer) upon which all of the components for a multiple number of transceiver modules are mounted or integrated, with the top surface of the silicon interposer used as a reference plane for defining the optical signal path between separate optical components. Indeed, by using a single silicon wafer as the platform for a large number of separate transceiver modules, one is able to use a wafer scale assembly process, as well as optical alignment and testing of these modules.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2014Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Kalpendu Shastri, Vipulkumar Patel, Mark Webster, Prakash Gothoskar, Ravinder Kachru, Soham Pathak, Rao V.

Publication number: 20060055089Abstract: A zoned web material having zones of radiation crosslinked elastomeric material with improved elevated temperature properties and lotion resistance. The elastomeric web comprises at least one first zone or region being characterized by a relatively high level of crosslinking and at least one second zone or region being characterized by a relatively low level of crosslinking. The zones of high crosslinking correspond to the zones of improved elastomeric properties, and can be made in virtually any predetermined pattern. In a preferred embodiment, the zoned web material is suitable for use in elasticized or body-hugging portions of disposable absorbent articles such as the side panels, waist bands, or cuffs of disposable diapers, or of health care products such as dressings, bandages and wraps. The zoned web material of the present invention may also be used in other portions of the absorbent articles where a stretchable portion of material is desired, such as stretchable topsheets or backsheets.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2005Publication date: March 16, 2006Inventors: John Zhang, Matthew McNally, Thomas Daugherty
