  • Patent number: 11141614
    Abstract: A dryer appliance that includes a fire extinguishing system is provided. In one aspect, the dryer appliance includes a drum rotatably mounted within a cabinet. The drum defines a chamber for receipt of articles for drying. The dryer appliance includes a water inlet valve in fluid communication with a steam nozzle operable to deliver water into the chamber to form mist or steam. The dryer appliance also includes an extinguishing nozzle in fluid communication with the chamber of the drum and with the water inlet valve. Upon detection of a fire, water is provided to the extinguishing nozzle and the extinguishing nozzle directs a stream of water into the chamber to extinguish the detected fire.

  • Patent number: 11097137
    Abstract: A dryer appliance that includes a fire extinguishing system is provided. In one aspect, the dryer appliance includes a drum rotatably mounted within a cabinet. The drum defines a chamber for receipt of articles for drying. The dryer appliance includes a water inlet valve in fluid communication with a nozzle to which a breakaway cap is mounted. The breakaway cap defines a steam outlet and the nozzle defines an extinguisher outlet. When a fire is present in the dryer appliance the water inlet valve is controlled to allow water to flow downstream to the nozzle so that the breakaway cap breaks away from the nozzle and water flows through the extinguisher outlet into the chamber of the drum to extinguish the fire.

  • Patent number: 10876848
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for generating a route in an area covered by an electronic map. The map comprises a plurality of segments representing navigable elements of a navigable network in the area covered by the electronic map. A selection of a profile is received, e.g. from a user, the profile including data identifying one or more segments of the electronic map. A route is generated between an origin and a destination in the electronic map using a routing process in which each of the one or more segments identified by the selected profile is penalised. Any segments in the generated route that are segments identified by the selected profile are detected, and data representative of the generated route and the detected segments are output, e.g. for provision to a user.

  • Patent number: 10429202
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a route through a navigable network in a geographic area is disclosed, the navigable network being represented by an electronic map comprising a plurality of segments each having a traversal direction associated therewith. An area is defined around a location represented by the electronic map, and at least some of the outgoing segments from the area are determined. A first optimum cost route from an origin is determined to each of the determined outgoing segments, and these routes are ranked according to their cost. At least one of the first optimum cost routes is selected based on the ranking, and a second optimum cost route is determined from the outgoing segment from the area of the selected route to a destination. The generated route from the origin to the destination comprises the selected first optimum cost route and the second optimum cost route.

  • Patent number: 10372929
    Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for secure file transfer is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system encrypts a file; sends, via a secure channel, a packet to a group having one or more members, the group authorized to access the encrypted file, the packet associated with the encrypted file and including access information for the encrypted file; receives a first request for the encrypted file from a first requestor; and sends the encrypted file to the first requestor via an unsecured channel that performs caching, wherein the first requestor is able to access the encrypted file using the packet when the first requestor is a member of the group authorized to access the encrypted file and received the packet via the secure channel and unable to access the encrypted file when the first requestor is not a member of the group authorized to access the encrypted file.
