Publication number: 20230297961Abstract: Various embodiments discussed herein are directed to improving existing technologies by enabling users to share content items directly from an operating system component, with little to no user interface input requirements at the underlying communications application. For instance, some embodiments receive an indication that a mouse pointer is hovering over an operating system taskbar icon and automatically produce a flyout window so that a user can share a currently opened application page to other users via a selection of a button within the flyout window. Such application page may be shared via a single selection at the flyout window or an additional “are you sure” or confirmation step. In this way, excessive drilling, navigation, and other user input at the application is reduced and simplified, thereby improving the user experience, content sharing accuracy, and computer resource consumption, among other improvements.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Ravi GUPTA, Martin A. MCCLEAN, Man Hei Julia WONG, Peter E. HAMMERQIST, Gabriel S. MARTINEZ, Colin Ray ANTHONY, Srinivas CHAKRAVARTHULA, Jeffrey Scott PETTY, Nithin ADAPA, Jason P. HOWARD, Hanna L.

Patent number: 10718337Abstract: A self-priming dedicated water feature pump is provided. The water feature pump can include a strainer housing connected to a pump housing. The strainer housing can include a reservoir for allowing water to enter the strainer housing so that the pump can self-prime. The strainer housing can also include a post installed within the reservoir. The post can function to prevent a strainer basket from being installed in the strainer housing. The post can be of sufficient volume and/or geometry to allow enough water to enter the strainer housing so that the water feature pump can self-prime while also preventing a strainer basket from being installed in the strainer housing.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Hayward Industries, Inc.Inventors: Jason W.
