  • Publication number: 20220207461
    Abstract: A system can implement an on-demand delivery service for available menu items by generate menu item vectors representing menu items and personal preference vectors representing user preferences in latent space comprising a word corpus of descriptive terms. Based on these vectors or matrices, the system can determine a set of matching menu items for the user, and transmit content data to a computing device of the user, causing the computing device to display the set of matching menu items as recommended selectable items for on-demand delivery. Based on a user selection of one of the available menu items, the system can coordinate on-demand delivery of the selected menu item to the respective user.

  • Patent number: 11306384
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, system, and apparatus that adds one or more reinforcing structures to a thermally sprayed layer of metallic material onto a substrate to reinforce and/or further support the formed substrate coating. The reinforcing structure may be a metallic or non-metallic wire, filament, whisker, mesh, or similar structure and may be coupled to the substrate before or during the thermal spray process, thereby embedding the reinforcing structure(s) into the resulting thermal spray matrix. The type, material, size, shape, and application technique of the reinforcing structure is variable based upon the desired characteristics of the ultimate coating. The durable coating may be formed by a plurality of separate and/or distinct layers. The resultant coating (e.g., the reinforcing structure(s) with the one or more thermal spray layers) provides numerous benefits, including increased strength and resistance to spalling, breaking, cracking, deforming, crack formation, and corrosion.

  • Patent number: 11225723
    Abstract: A system and a method are provided for making hypochlorous acid using saltwater with sodium bicarbonate. The system includes an electrolytic cell, a quantity of saltwater solution, and a quantity of sodium bicarbonate. The quantity of saltwater solution is poured into the electrolytic cell and then undergoes an electrolytic process. As a result of the quantity of saltwater solution going through the electrolytic process, a hypochlorous acid solution is yielded. In order to ensure a pure hypochlorous acid solution is formed, the quantity of sodium bicarbonate can be added into the electrolytic cell along with the quantity of saltwater solution before the electrolytic process or the quantity of sodium bicarbonate can be added into the hypochlorous acid solution after the hypochlorous acid solution is yielded. This process adjusts the pH level of the hypochlorous acid solution, and thus, produces a purer hypochlorous acid solution.

  • Publication number: 20210394130
    Abstract: A system and a method make a saltwater solution for electrolysis through the process of flowing water through a salt chamber to dissolve salt crystals and outputting the resulting saltwater solution into a saltwater container. The system includes a salt chamber, a remaining quantity of salt crystals, a filter, and a saltwater container. The salt chamber is a chamber that contains the remaining quantity of salt crystals. The salt chamber and the saltwater container are in fluid communication with each other, and thus, the saltwater container can receive the resulting saltwater solution. The salt chamber includes a chamber inlet and a chamber outlet. The filter is connected across the chamber outlet in order to retain undissolved salt crystals within the salt chamber.

  • Patent number: 11110030
    Abstract: A massage chair includes a back massage system and a thigh massage system with a roller mechanism configured to move a roller in a three dimensional orbital motion. The roller mechanism is driven by a single motor that can change the direction in operation. Also included is a roller motion drive element within the roller mechanism. A shaft is configured to pass through the roller motion drive element in an offset non-perpendicular angle relative to the end face thereby forming an angle between the shaft and the end face that is less than 85 degrees. The offset causes the orbital motion of the roller when rotated. The electronics of the massage chair facilitate facial recognition and a medical assessment device to detect bodily characteristics. The backrest of the massage chair can elongate to stretch the user. A plurality of airbags are also available for the twisting of the user.

  • Publication number: 20210006296
    Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for a coaxial cable transmission system. A power supply receives a primary power signal from a power source. The power supply generates a switched direct current power signal from the primary power signal. A power gateway receives the switched direct current power signal over a coaxial cable from the power supply. The power gateway generates a secondary power signal from the switched direct current power signal. A load device receives the secondary power signal from the power gateway. In some implementations, the power supply generates the switched direct current power signal at a positive direct current voltage level for a first part of a time period and at a negative direct current voltage level for a second part of the time period.
