  • Patent number: 11997540
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that the UE is connected to a wireless network on a first carrier frequency in a first frequency range that is associated with a lower data rate than a second carrier frequency in a second frequency range. In some aspects, the first frequency range may be associated with a first version of a radio access technology (RAT) and the second frequency range may be associated with a second version of the RAT. The UE may determine a bandwidth metric associated with the first carrier frequency in the first frequency range. The UE may display a first visual indicator associated with the first version of the RAT or a second visual indicator associated with the second version of the RAT based on the bandwidth metric. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20240099173
    Abstract: Tine assemblies (100a, 100b, 104) are secured by a single bolt (126) extending diametrically through each tine (120) located in a cavity (112) of a tine plate (110). An outer tine assembly (104) is connected to a sleeve (116) rotatably mounted on independently rotatable shafts (102) to which inner tine assemblies (100a, 100b) are connected. A tine cover (50) removably closes an opening (40) in the top plate (28) and in which weights (70) are removably received over the tine assemblies (100a, 100b, 104). Transport wheels (134) are moveable by pivoting a stop plate (140) to position an upper pivot axis (150a) of an abutment bar (150) ahead of or behind the stop axis (142) and lower pivot axis (150b). A stop (146) positioned on the stop plate (140) without the use of tools adjusts the depth of the tine assemblies (100a, 100b, 104).

  • Publication number: 20220398839
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying a location using image recognition. STR listing images are analyzed and assigned an archetype. Optionally, STR listing images are analyzed with an object detection model and associated with archetypes. The STR dwelling unit type may be determined from the combination of STR image archetypes. A location for the STR listing may then be determined by comparing to images of dwelling units retrieved from databases.

  • Publication number: 20220388447
    Abstract: A vehicle fluid reservoir system has a fluid tank that contains a vehicle fluid and a light source in an interior of the fluid tank that illuminates the interior of the tank and the surface of fluid in the tank. The illumination of the surface of fluid in the tank is visible from outside the tank, enabling a quick and easy determination of the level of fluid inside the tank. A switch is operatively communicated with the light source. The switch is operable to control the light source to emit light and illuminate the interior of the tank and the fluid surface in the interior of the tank, and to control the light source not to emit light.

  • Publication number: 20220080078
    Abstract: A method of isolating vehicle occupant respiration includes energizing a source of ultraviolet radiation to sterilize in air. A first sensor detects carbon dioxide content of that air. A second sensor detects quality of that air. A third sensor detects particulate in that air. Result from the first sensor is compared to baseline carbon dioxide reading recorded in a controller connected with the sensors. Fan speed increases temporal duration of air exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Result from the second sensor is compared with baseline air quality recorded in the controller. A signal is sent to a display comprising the filtration system to identify contaminate in the air. Result from the third sensor is compared with baseline particulate recorded in controller. An alert is sent to an interested party indicating particulate presence in the air.

  • Publication number: 20220080077
    Abstract: An occupant respiration isolation system comprises a plenum having an interior. A source of ultraviolet radiation is located in the interior. A first duct is disposed between an interior of a vehicle and the interior of the plenum for conveying air from the interior of the vehicle to the interior of the plenum. A vent is disposed between the interior of the vehicle and the first duct allowing air from the interior of the vehicle to enter the first duct. A fan is operatively connected with the plenum that varies airflow through plenum. A third duct conveys air from the interior of the plenum to the interior of the vehicle. A first sensor generating a first signal is disposed in the interior of the plenum. A controller is disposed on the vehicle operatively connected with the first sensor for receiving the first signal.

  • Publication number: 20210001000
    Abstract: A method of protecting an occupant of a vehicle an interior, an exterior and a portal through which air passes. The method includes monitoring quality and pressure of air on the interior and exterior of the vehicle. It is determined if air on the interior or the exterior has lower contaminants. Air pressure is adjusted on the interior to create a pressure differential between pressure of air on interior and pressure of air on the exterior to determine direction of movement of air through the portal.

  • Patent number: 10634587
    Abstract: A system for isolating preselected cell types from a fluid sample that includes a plurality of cell types includes a cell-capture fluidic chip, and a chip holder configured to receive the cell-capture fluidic chip and to maintain the cell-capture fluidic chip with a substantially fluid-tight seal while in operation. The chip holder is further configured to release the cell-capture fluidic chip to be removed from the chip holder for further processing. The cell-capture fluidic chip includes a substrate, a laser micro-dissection membrane disposed on the substrate, and a channel-defining layer disposed on the laser micro-dissection membrane. The laser micro-dissection membrane has a surface adapted to capture preselected cell types preferentially over other cell types of the plurality of cell types. The channel-defining layer is removable from the laser micro-dissection membrane for further processing of the cell-capture fluidic chip.
