  • Patent number: 11947000
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for compact radar systems. In some examples, a compact radar system can include a first set of transmit antennas, a second set of receive antennas, one or more processors, and at least one computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the radar system to coordinate digital beam steering of the first set of transmit antennas and the second set of receive antennas, and coordinate digital beam forming with one or more of the second set of receive antennas to detect one or more objects within a distance of the radar system.

  • Publication number: 20170344316
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing print jobs associated with multiple customers. Customer-editable design templates for printed products and design software tools enabling creation by customers of custom print product designs are provided, via a network, to multiple customers operating corresponding electronic devices. Individual print jobs corresponding to custom print product designs created by multiple different customers via the electronic devices are received and automatically aggregated into an aggregate print job comprising individual print jobs from different customers. The aggregated individual print jobs in the aggregate print job are printed simultaneously on one or more units of a shared substrate when the aggregate print job is printed.

  • Patent number: 9456719
    Abstract: A universal flushing lever for a toilet that can be mounted on different areas of the toilet tank, during flushing action, triggers the closing of the toilet seat cover and or seat using magnetic fields. A magnet is attached to a universal flushing lever as well as the seat cover and/or seat. When the flushing lever is actuated it uses the magnet's fields to trigger the cover and/or seat closure. The magnets can be positioned to use the magnetic fields in two ways, repulsion or attraction individually or in conjunction. In the repulsion scenario, the magnets, one positioned on the flushing lever and one on the cover and or seat, once in proximity forces the closure of the adjacent cover and or seat. In the attraction scenario, the magnets, one positioned on the flushing lever and one on the cover and or seat, once away from proximity allows the closure of the adjacent cover and or seat.

  • Patent number: 7187465
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for assembling multiple individual print jobs into an aggregate print job for printing in a print run quantity. Individual print jobs and a print quantity indicating the number of copies of the individual print job to be primed are stored. Individual print jobs are retrieved and assigned to one or more individual print job positions in an aggregate print job layout based on the number of copies of the individual print job to be printed. A retrieved individual print job having an associated print quantity that equals the print run quantity of the aggregate print job is assigned to a single position in the aggregate print job layout. A retrieved individual print job having an associated print quantity that is a multiple of the print run quantity is assigned to that multiple number of positions in the aggregate print job layout.

  • Patent number: 7145670
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for creating an aggregate print job containing multiple individual print jobs. Individual print jobs having a plurality of associated printing parameters are received and stored. Printing parameters associated with an individual print job may include parameters indicating the requested print quantity, product size, product type, a requested delivery date, and any required post-printing processing. The stored printing parameters are searched to identify individual print jobs having at least some printing parameters in common. Individual print jobs identified during the search are aggregated to create a larger print job such that a number of different individual print jobs may be simultaneously printed.

  • Patent number: 7133149
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for creating an aggregate print job for simultaneous printing of multiple individual print jobs. Individual print jobs having an associated parameter identifying the size of the product to be printed are received. A number of received individual print jobs are arranged to create an aggregate print job having multiple individual print jobs in two dimensions. Aggregate print jobs may have pre-defined individual print job locations of a pre-defined size and position with which individual print jobs of are associated or may have no pre-defined individual print job sizes and positions.
