Publication number: 20200259062Abstract: The present disclosure provides wearable electronic devices with thermoelectric devices. The wearable electronic device may comprise a user interface for displaying information to a user. The thermoelectric device may comprise a heat collecting unit, a thermoelectric element, and a heat expelling unit. During use, the thermoelectric element may generate power upon the flow of thermal energy from the heat collecting unit, across the thermoelectric element, and to the heat expelling unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2020Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventors: Akram I. Boukai, Douglas W. Tham, Haifan Liang, Eric C. Hale, Gregory L. Kress, Scott A. Steber, Brentley M. Wiles

Publication number: 20190283263Abstract: A hand-held device consistent with the present disclosure includes a first member and a second member coupled together by a pivot point such that each member can rotate independently. The first member includes a first handle and the second member includes a second handle on a first region of each member. The area of the second handle is greater than the area of the first handle. The shearing device includes a protrusion on a second region of each member. Each protrusion is disposed at least 65 degrees from the corresponding handle of each member. The protrusion of the first member has a beveled portion above a cutting edge of the first member. During a cutting action, cross-torque force is applied upon the protrusion of the second member by the first member or a cross-torque force is applied upon the protrusion of the first member by the second member.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2016Publication date: September 19, 2019Inventors: Shane Robert Vermette, Gregory Kress, Scott Steber

Publication number: 20170295415Abstract: A system includes a data acquisition device that includes one or more sensors. The data acquisition device collects sensor data from the one or more sensors that measure one or more of the following: irrigation flow rate, irrigation water quality, intensity of solar radiation, ambient temperature, and ambient humidity. The system further includes a user interface module that collects condition data from a user. The system further includes a collection and analysis application that receives the sensor data from the data acquisition device, receives the condition data from the user interface module, analyzes the sensor data and the condition data, and generates analyzed data from the sensor data and the condition data. The user interface module generates a user interface that includes the analyzed data from the collection and analysis application.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2017Publication date: October 12, 2017Inventors: Ugur Oezdemir, Matthew Kresse, Scott Steber, Agustus Shelander
