An illuminated speaker panel assembly with an integrated audio seal is described. In one embodiment, an illuminated speaker panel assembly for a vehicle includes a speaker configured to mount to a door body of a vehicle and a base panel component configured to attach to the door body over the speaker. The base panel component includes a speaker frame aligned with an outer periphery of the speaker. The speaker frame includes an outer sealing wall, an inner retention wall, and a channel disposed between the outer sealing wall and the inner retention wall. A lighting member is disposed within the channel of the speaker frame such that the lighting member is configured to extend substantially along the outer periphery of the speaker.

Provided is a lantern comprising: a) a body; b) a speaker attached to the body; c) a light source attached to the body; d) a rechargeable battery to power one or more of the light source or the speaker; and e) a solar panel attached to the body in a configuration that allows light, from outside the body to contact the solar panel to generate electricity to charge the rechargeable battery; wherein the speaker plays sound and the light source provides illumination.

A method for tuning a managed pressure drilling system comprising a variable orifice choke to control fluid flow from a drilling well includes (a) characterizing change in flow rate through the choke with respect to choke opening at a substantially constant pressure drop; (b) characterizing change in fluid pressure in the well with respect to change in choke opening at a substantially constant flow rate into the well; (c) characterizing a response time of pressure in the well to changes in the choke opening, a delay time of pressure response after a change in choke opening and a back pressure applied to the well with respect to choke opening. The characterizations in at least one of (a) and (b), and the characterization in (c) are used as control parameters for a proportional integral differential controller having as output the choke opening and as input the fluid pressure in the well before the choke.

The invention discloses a new type of music starry sky projection lamp, comprising a casing, a projection component provided in the casing, and a thumb wheel component; the projection component comprises a swinging transparent water pattern cover, a swinging arm, a fixing plate, a projection lamp bead, and a motor; the thumb wheel component comprises a thumb wheel device body, a thumb wheel lamp bead, a thumb wheel pattern plate, a plano-convex condenser, a biconvex lens, and a pattern plate positioning device.

The present invention relates to an infinity-shaped virtual assistant device. The device is configured to receive voice commands via one or more microphones and to emit voice response messages via one or more speakers. The device processes the received voice commands using voice processing modules for performing an appropriate action. The device mimics voice(s), or emits recorded messages, of a selected individual thereby enabling a user to have a conversation or listen to voices of their loved ones. Internal memory of the device stores pre-recorded messages that can be audibly emitted via speakers. A communication interface of the device allows the device to communicate with remote devices, servers, and more. The device is powered by rechargeable batteries and includes LEDs that illuminate while the device is operating.
