    Abstract: A method and system for plasma arc suppression includes a RF generator supplying power to a plasma chamber coupled to an impedance matching network reacting to impedance changes to match an impedance of the plasma chamber with an impedance of the radio frequency generator. An arc suppression device coupled to the RF generator and the plasma chamber detects plasma arcing causing a sharp impedance change increasing reflection of the power by the plasma chamber and switches a power dissipator reducing the power delivered to the plasma chamber extinguishing or mitigating the plasma arcing. The power dissipator is switched more quickly than the impedance matching network reacts to the sharp impedance change. For example, the impedance matching network may react to the impedance change on an order of hundredths of milliseconds or more, while the arc suppression device switches the power dissipator on an order of microseconds or less.

    Abstract: A second stage regulator suitable for both right-handed and left-handed divers comprises a housing, a mouthpiece, a decompression mechanism, an exhaust mechanism and an airflow adjustment mechanism. The airflow adjustment mechanism can control the output air volume by adjusting the size of the vent. Even in the state of small air volume, the diver only needs to inhale a little to push the second stage output and inhale the air smoothly. The diver can control the direction of the airflow by operating the airflow adjustment mechanism to avoid being choked by the air when the air volume is large. The exhaust holes of the exhaust mechanism is arranged on the side and the exhaust mechanism is facing the left rear side of the housing, which can prevent the exhaust valve from being compressed due to the pressure of water flow when the diver is swimming.

    Abstract: A WiFi data transmission system is provided. The transmission system is in a mesh-tree topology and includes a router and nodes connected to the router via a root node. A node of the nodes includes a station (STA) interface, a soft access point (AP) interface, a bridge interface, and a forwarding database (FDB), for example. Upon receiving a data frame by the node, the bridge interface of the node may search the FDB using information of the data frame for a latest data record to determine an outgoing interface address of the outgoing node so as to guide an outgoing path for the data frame. The structure of transmission system can lead to an improved adaptability and communications efficiency, and a reduced resource consumption.

  • Publication number: 20230141094
    Abstract: A system including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform certain acts. The acts can include obtaining a route for delivering one or more orders in a tri-temp trailer from a distribution center to physical stores in a sequence of stops. The route can have an associated assignment of stack groups comprising stacks of pallets. The acts also can include determining a load design for the stacks in the tri-temp trailer based on the sequence of the stops in the route, such that unloading each of the stacks is minimized when the tri-temp trailer delivers the orders to the physical stores. The acts additionally can include outputting the load design to cause the stacks to be loaded in the tri-temp trailer according to the load design for delivery to the physical stores in the sequence of stops. The load design can specify a respective floor spot assignment for each of the stacks.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively routing an unanswered communication session to a voicemail system based at least on a voicemail system identifier (FQDN) mapped to a voicemail pilot number (present within the voicemail routing profile) are described herein. The system generates the voicemail routing profile in response to a provisioning request that identifies one or more messaging services, including a voicemail service, that are to be provided to a user profile. The voicemail profile is stored within a database that is accessed to obtain the voicemail routing profile when a user device registers with a communication network and is associated with the user profile. The system utilizes internal lookup tables and repository functions to identify the voicemail system associated with the user profile and the voicemail routing profile in response to a communication session being unanswered.

  • Publication number: 20230141102
    Abstract: A method for transforming high dynamic range (HDR) video data into standard dynamic range (SDR) video data and encoding the SDR video data so that the HDR video data may be recovered at the decoder includes generating a tone map describing a transformation applied to the HDR video data to generate the SDR video data. The generated tone map describes the transformation as the multiplication of each HDR pixel in the HDR video data by a scalar to generate the SDR video data. The tone map is then modeled as a reshaping transfer function and the HDR video data is processed by the reshaping transfer function to generate the SDR video data. The reshaping transfer function is then inverted and described in a self-referential metadata structure. The SDR video data is then encoded including the metadata structure defining the inverse reshaping transfer function.
