Patent number: 11650028Abstract: An example barrier can be switchable between an at least partially collapsed state and at least partially expanded state (e.g., a deployed state). For example, the barrier can be formed from a continuous sheet and a plurality of rigid sections (e.g., rigid panels) attached or incorporated into the continuous sheet. The barrier can also include a plurality of hinges, such as hinge lines, between the panels that are formed from the continuous sheet. The hinges enable the barrier to be rigid foldable (e.g., the hinges can fold and unfold while the rigid sections remain stiff and rigid) between the expanded and collapsed states.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITYInventors: Larry L. Howell, Spencer P. Magleby, David C. Morgan, Terri Bateman, Jeffrey E. Niven, Alex Avila, Erica Crampton, Kyler Tolman, Jacob Greenwood, Peter Schleede

Publication number: 20220395978Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to robot camera control. A robotic device may receive a user input to control a camera operatively connected to the robot device; identify a live-motion filter applied to the camera; identify a filter setpoint associated with the live-motion filter; generate filtered position control data for the camera based on the user input, the live-motion filter, and the filter setpoint; generate joint data for the robot device based on the filtered position control data; and cause the camera to move according to the joint data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Applicant: Sisu Devices LLCInventors: Vallan Sherrod, Jacob Robinson, Spencer Hogge, Jon Terry, Marc Christenson, Nathan Powelson, Alex Avila, Bryson Tanner

Publication number: 20210299378Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to emergency ventilators. An emergency ventilator may determine one or more adjustable parameters associated with controlling a ventilator device to supply air to a user, wherein the one or more adjustable parameters are determined based at least in part on breathing thresholds associated with the user. The emergency ventilator may evaluate the adjustable parameters to generate a control signal. The emergency ventilator may cause one or more paddles to articulate based at least in part on the control signal, wherein the one or more paddles squeeze a bag valve mask (BVM) attached to the ventilator device. The emergency ventilator may generate one or more outputs associated with a condition of the ventilator device. The emergency ventilator may display, on a display device, the one or more outputs.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Applicant: Air Boost, LLCInventors: Marc Christenson, Austin Christensen, Jason Dearden, Isaac Jones, Jarod Horn, Savan Patel, Michael Morgan, Brett Jacobson, Alex Avila, Vallan Sherrod, Russell Aldridge, Jacob Robinson
