  • Publication number: 20230280066
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling the air temperature of a building using a control plan based on a target time. The system includes a controller which may be connected to a number of indoor and outdoor heating ventilation and air-conditioning units. The system may include a thermostat. The system may also operate without a thermostat. The method includes determining a control plan to reach a desired temperature in a target time. The method also includes updating the plan by comparing the actual time to reach the desired temperature with the target time.

  • Patent number: 9557632
    Abstract: A roller projection screen, including a projection screen material having a reflective front surface, onto which an image may be projected, and a back surface. The projection screen material is secured to a roller at an upper edge of the material and the projection screen material can be rolled in a spiral fashion in multiple layers around the roller. A buffer material is secured to the roller or to the back surface of the projection screen material so as to be adjacent the back surface and so as the be interposed between at least some of the multiple layers of the projection screen material when the projection screen material is rolled about the roller so as to inhibit ladder marks in the projection screen material.
