The breast cup and reservoir may be formed as a single unit and made from silicone. The reservoir wall may include one or more circumferential rings 106, 108 of greater thickness, preferably with a ring located towards the base of the reservoir. The breast cup may be folded down (figure 3) before engagement with the breast and then flipped back to its original shape to cup the breast. In one embodiment, the wall of the reservoir is thinnest at the top 204, thickest near the bottom 206 and of intermediate thickness in between 210. The pump may be used by applying different suction forces successively.

Title: Packet prioritization based on packet time stamp information
Inventor: CHARLES HARDT
IPC: H04L47/56
Filed: 2017-07-25
Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate dynamic packet prioritization for delivery of multiple media streams based upon packet time stamp information. A central device may retrieve time stamp information associated with one or more packets of a media stream and system time clock information associated with a client device to which output of the media stream is targeted. The central device may compare the time stamp information to the system time clock information, and if the difference between the time stamp information and the system time clock information is less than a predetermined threshold, the central device may deviate from a default packet transmission scheme and may prioritize the delivery of packets from the media stream to the targeted client device.

Title: Amplifier circuits
Inventor: JOHN PAUL LESSO
IPC: H03F3/45
Filed: 2021-05-14
Abstract: Amplifier circuitry 400 includes first and second output stages 403p, 403n generating first and second differential driving signals SoutP, SoutN based on an input signal Sin, and a controller 406 configured to controllably vary a common-mode component CM of the driving signals based on an amplitude of the input signals. In one arrangement, the output stages are class-D and drive a bridge-tied-load (BTL) 401; the common-mode component variation is based on an indication of an amplitude of the driving signals. At lower signal levels the controller varies the common-mode component so that the common-mode level of the first and second driving signals is moved away from an operating region that leads to zero-crossing distortion (ZCD); this may include, for driving signals below a first amplitude threshold, applying an offset to both differential input signal paths to generate driving signals in a range outside of that which experiences zero-crossing distortion. The differential signal paths and applied offsets may be analogue or digital. The amplifier may be used, for example, in audio applications where low levels of total harmonic distortion (THD) are desirable.

Title: Control surface actuation
Inventor: PHILLIP AARON RAYMOND COUPE
IPC: F03G7/06
Filed: 2021-07-16
Abstract: A vehicle, such as an aircraft, has a control surface 2 coupled to a main body (fig.1,1). An actuation system drives the rotation of the control surface relative to the body, having at least one pair of extensible shape memory alloy couplings 3a1,3a2,3b1,3b2. A heating system selectively heats one coupling member in response to a control input received by the actuation system, when heated each coupling member causes the control surface to articulate in opposite directions to one another. Each coupling may contract when heated, pulling a side of the control surface to which it is attached towards the main body, causing it to rotate about a pivot point (fig.2a,2b); alternatively, one end coupling end may be attached to a pivot structure 7, their other end attached to the main body, so that when heated the coupling contracts, pulling the pivoting structure towards different sides of the main body. The couplings may contain a tubular mesh of a Nickle Titanium alloy. The heating system may have a number of electrical heating elements 9a1,9a2,9b1,9b2 at one end of each coupling; or jet engine may heat a fluid which is transported in ducts close to an end of each coupling.
