Publication number: 20220338439Abstract: A manure scraping assembly includes a scraper that has a first portion forming an angle with a second portion. The scraper is positionable in a pushing position to push manure on the support surface. Conversely, the scraper is positionable in a pulling position to pull manure on the support surface. A handle is removably attached to the scraper and the handle can be gripped by a user thereby facilitating the scraper to be pushed or pulled. The handle angles upwardly at a substantially diagonal axis with respect to the first portion of the scraper when the scraper is positioned in the pushing position. Moreover, the handle angles upwardly at a substantially diagonal axis with respect to the second portion of the scraper when the scraper is positioned in the pulling position.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2021Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventor: Michael Wollman

Patent number: 10809304Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for adaptively estimating power. The systems and methods measure an electrical potential of a power source coupled to a wearable computing device and determine a current power consumption on the power source. The systems and methods identify a current slope value mapping the electrical potential to an estimated capacity percentage based on the measured electrical potential. The systems and methods determine a correction value based on the current power consumption and the current slope value and generate a current capacity value from the electrical potential and the correction value. The systems and methods cause presentation of a representation of the current capacity value within a power indicator and control one or more processes operating within the wearable computing device based on the current capacity value.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Larson, Gerald Nilles, Michael Wollman
