  • Patent number: 11988513
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide passage planning for a mobile structure. A passage planning system includes a logic device configured to communicate with a user interface associated with the mobile structure and at least one operational state sensor mounted to or within the mobile structure. The logic device determines an operational range map based, at least in part, on an operational state of the mobile structure and/or environmental conditions associated with the mobile structure. Such operational range map and other control signals may be displayed to a user and/or used to generate a planned route and/or adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure.

  • Publication number: 20230108232
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting an incorrectly attached heat sink component on an electronic device. The system includes one or more temperature sensors secured to the electronic device and a controller unit comprising one or more processors and one or more computer-readable media, the computer-readable media having stored thereon executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform a method for detecting incorrectly attached heat sink components. The method includes receiving temperature data, calculating a thermal ramp rate, comparing the thermal ramp rate to a predetermined threshold ramp rate, and transmitting a fault signal when the calculated thermal ramp rate exceeds the predetermined threshold ramp rate.

  • Patent number: 6105334
    Abstract: A structure for use in conjunction with a recessed fixture is provided which includes a substantially rectangular housing defining a top wall and side walls. Each of the walls has exterior and interior wall surfaces, and at least the interior wall surfaces of the housing are coated with a fire resistant material. Flanges depend outwardly from bottom edges of side walls of the housing to facilitate mounting of the housing between spaced apart building joists. The housing is coated with the fire resistant material prior to installation.
