Publication number: 20190112815Abstract: In some aspects, deicer systems to distribute a deicing fluid along a roof of a building to limit ice dam formation can include: a pre-pressurized water source that provides pressurized water; a deicer solution source containing a deicer solution; a passive mixing system in fluid communication with the pre-pressurized water source and the deicer solution source, the passive mixing system being configured to combine the pressurized water and the deicer solution to form a deicer fluid; and one or more emitters configured to be disposed along the roof, the emitters being in fluid communication with the passive mixing system to receive the deicer fluid and dispense the deicer fluid along the roof. In addition, certain systems described herein can be run with an electric pump.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2018Publication date: April 18, 2019Inventors: Joseph Babcock, Ali Booeshaghi, Alicia Cabrera-Mino, Cyndia Cao, David Dellal, Allison Edwards, Patrick Everett, Anna Fountain, Alejandro Garcia, Nolan Kruse, Junsheng Ma, Colleen McCoy, Stacy Mo, Khanh Nguyen, Grant Sellers, Jennifer Yu, Joanna Zhu

Patent number: 9990105Abstract: A user device may provide a graphical user interface which presents content navigation objects, where each content navigation object may be associated with a content item and is presented within a portion of the graphical user interface. The user device may detect an action that corresponds to a content navigation object, and determine whether the detected action is a command to display content options that may be contextually related to the content item associated with the content navigation object. The user device may display the content options by altering the appearance of the content navigation object, receive an action selecting the content option from the displayed content options, and conceal the content options after the action for selecting the content option has been received.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2014Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Michael J. D'Argenio, Lonnie Hiroshi Katai, Alice Yuan Bain, Kristopher T. Frazier, William Andrew Fish, Richard E. Sodon, Jennifer Yu, Sheryl Soo, Janette Markel, Harry Lawson Kight, Andrew Allen Haskin

Patent number: 8515093Abstract: A system includes a plurality of inputs each configured to receive a filtered version of a source signal. The system extracts the energy information from each input signal and compares the energy information of a plurality of input signals. Alternatively, the system extracts energy information from a signal that is the difference of two input signals. Based on the energy information, the system determines at least one parameter that may be changed in at least one circuit in a plurality of circuits to minimize the differences in energy of the input signals or to minimize the energy of the difference signal. Parameters may include for example amplification, delay, and corner frequency values. The set of circuits may include microphone interface circuits. Merely by way of example, a system with microphone interface circuits may be included in a hearing enhancement device or in a hands-free earpiece.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2010Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: National Acquisition Sub, Inc.Inventors: Sanjay M. Bhandari, Paul D. Smith, Jiang (Jennifer) Yu, Sheng-Yu Peng, Priscilla E. Escobar-Bowser

Patent number: 8390544Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for an array, and corresponding method of forming an array, that includes a plurality of light emitting devices. The light emitting devices are disposed over a substrate, and a photodetector detects light emitted through the substrate from the light emitting devices. Further, a substantially constant brightness may be maintained in a plurality of light emitting devices disposed over the upper surface of a substrate in an array. Light emitted through the substrate from each of the light emitting devices is measured, and the voltage level applied to each of the light emitting devices is varied to maintain a substantially constant brightness level of light emitted from the light emitting devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2012Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Vladimir Bulovic, Jonathan R.
