  • Publication number: 20230406642
    Abstract: A motor driven roller transmission system for a conveyance assembly includes a transmission assembly connected between a first rotatable member and a second rotatable member, in which the first and second rotatable members are oriented at an angle from one another. The transmission assembly is adapted to efficiently transfer rotational motion of the first rotatable member to the second rotatable member. Rotation of the second rotatable member causes a conveyance surface to move in order to convey an object. The transmission assembly decreases the power required to drive the first rotatable member in order to move the conveyance surface by increasing the torque output of the first rotatable member, while also reducing the rotational speed required of the first rotatable member to drive the conveyance surface at a desired speed, thus extending the operational life of the first rotatable member.

  • Patent number: 11837235
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining an indicator that a first device is in a location of a second device and in response to obtaining the indicator, sending a redirect request to a communication service provider of the first device to direct, to the second device, incoming communication requests handled by the communication service provider that are directed to the first device. The method may further include after sending the redirect request and after a communication request to a communication session is directed to the first device, obtaining, at the second device, a communication indication to participate in the communication session. The method may further include directing audio of the communication session to a transcription system and obtaining, at the second device, the transcription of the audio from the transcription system. The method may also include presenting, by the second device, the audio and the transcription.

  • Publication number: 20230283063
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a novel framework that enables cost-effective, accurate and scalable detection, prediction, and mitigation of component failure or non-nominal operation in a power system. According to an embodiment, a computing device may implement a power system model that reflects the behavior, performance characteristics, and/or operational state of components in a power system. The computing device may create the power system model using historical and real-time data. The computing device may include a sensing module designed to determine at least one performance characteristic of a component of a power system; a processing module configured to apply a power system model to the at least one characteristic to determine at least one operational state of the component; and a control module configured to effect a change in a component of the power system in response to the at least one operational state.

  • Publication number: 20230189970
    Abstract: A grip system comprises a protective case and a grip apparatus. The grip apparatus is attached to a back surface of the protective case. The grip apparatus includes a base, two flexible strips or straps, and a cap. The base is configured to be removably inserted into the recess in the back of the protective case. The two flexible strips are each attached to the base. The cap is proximate a top surface of the base when in a stowed position and extendable away from the top surface of the base when the cap is pulled outward to an extended position. Each flexible strip is configured or adapted to slide within a slot or channel in the cap. Each flexible strip slides into the slot when the grip apparatus is transitioned to the stowed position and slides out of the slot when transitioned to the extended position.
